Profits of the Passion PLAY.

1t is a well-known fact that the ac-
tors in the Oberammergau Passion
Play receive only moderate fee for
their acting, and that whether the part
played is important and fatiguing or
whether it is that of super the re-
Enumeration is the same. But the COM
munity Of the little village has done
far better than was expected, for the
fees for tickets have this year been
much in excess of any former occasion.
Over and above the ordinary number
of performances no less than sixteen
extra performances have been given,
and the amount thus realized reached
the large sum of f75, 900, while an enor-
nous trade has been done in photo
graphs, wood carvings, rosaries and
holy images. For picture post cards
alone no less than f7,5O0 has been
taken, and it is said that the wood car
yers Of Oberammergau have not sin
gle article left ION stock" Thus 1t is
plain to see that though the season in
Switzerland and the Tyrol Is said to
have been bad one the little Bavarian
mountain village has reaped golden
harvest.-Westmins Gazette

they were not exactly satisfactory.
She supposed it was because he was so
very honorable, and they were not real

she thought it all over and decided that
sort of thing would have to come to an
end. She knew she would never be
happy for a moment till he came out,

claim her, but she made up her mind
to stop thinking about him as much as
possible and try to seem happy, no mat

noisy thunder clouds came nearer, and
the voices that made us tremble were
no longer heard. Uncle Eb began to

rain passed-we could hear the last
battalion leaving the field-and then
the tumult ended as suddenly as it
began. The corn trembled- a few mo-
ments and hushed to faint whisper.
Then we could hear only the drip of
raindrops leaking through the green
roof. It was dark under the corn.

this reason we take the opportunity
Of reproducing certain extracts from
an article on his life and character COM
tributed by John De Morgan to The
Book World:
Jefferson, says the writer, was in
many ways the most remarkable man
of the age. His individuality stood out
prominently and his earnestness and
sincerity made him so conspicuous that

quired at West Point, an intellectual
face and the grace and manners Of
man of the world. He is cultivated,
erudite and familiar with the history

word a broad-ganged, well-balapced

lister his legation in a way creditable
both to his country and acceptable to
this government.

work and Atmosphere.

During the building Of railroad in
Switzerland, at an altitude of ten thou
sand feet, the discovery has been made
that the atmosphere is so rariied that
men employed upon the work cannot
continue their labors for half so long a
time as is possible when working in a
lower atmosphere. The cold also may
have something to do with it, for, as
every one knows, the atmosphere be-
comes colder and colder the greater dis
lance it is above the surface of the
earth. Were it not for the atmosphere,
indeed, the ordinary temperature of the
world would be below zero to the ex-
tent of three hundred degrees Fahren-
heit.
