by agreeing to fight Kelly for the mid

forward with new rule requiring all
boxers to be closely shaved two hours

tremely careful to see that my op-
ponent was closely shaved and in some
cases made this stipulation when the
articles OF agreement were signed. In
my fight with the mysterious one no.

a shave badly, but in the excitement
l never gave it second thought.

rounds my right eye was almost closed

THE PASSION PLAY.
fs origin, According to the Tradi-
ton of Oberammergau,

ton of Oberammergau,
According to local tradition, the orr
gin of the Oberammergau Passion
play was as follows: When in the year
1888 a deadly plague threatened to de-
populate the districts of Partenkirchen
Escheloke and Kohlgrub, which are
separated from Ammerthal, or the val
ley OF the Ammer, by a rampant of
mountains, the Ammerthalers succeed
ed for time in protecting themselves
against the dread contagion, but one
day a native who had been working all
summer at Escheloke evaded the quar-.
antine and entered the Ammerthal by
secret path in order to celebrate an
annual church festival with his fam.
lily. Two days afterward he was a
corpse, and in less than three weeks
the plague had carried off eighty-four
of the Ammerthalers.
Despairing of all human succor. the
terrified survivors addressed them
selves to God and registered a solemn
vow that if he heard their prayer and
removed the scourge they would rep
resent every ten years, "for thankful
remembrance and edifying contempla-
ton. and by the help of the Almighty,
the sufferings Of Jesus, the Saviour of
the world"
Not a single person died of the
plague after the VOW was made, though
many were affected by it. The first
representation of the Passion play in
fulhllment Of the VOW of these simple
villagers took place at Oberammergau
In the following year, and 1t has been
repeated every ten years without a
single omission.

itself into more graceful folds than the
new grenadines or the heavier colleen
poplins.
Blouses are fast disappearing from
our wardrobe necessities, and the cor
sage with braces has now practically
secured universal suffrage. These
braces have developed into something
more complicated than narrow bands
crossing the figure and passing over
the shoulders. Today folds of cloth or
velvet ascend like a child's pinafore
ana are cut out across the bust and
under the arms in order to reveal a
dainty guimpe of lace or tucked mus
lin.
Evening petticoats are the frilliest
daintiest sort of things. White glace
skirts are much favored with killed
frills of net, upon which ruchings of
ribbon meander in graceful designs.
White grounded chine silk with kilt
ed chiffon frill, inset with medallions
of alencon lace, forms the petticoat of
luxury, but the girl who has little to
spend on an evening petticoat will find
white wash silk with vandyked frills
of lace very satisfactory.
The possibilities of the shirt waist
seem literally without limit. Season

tractive styles. Here is one that is Of

Origin of KIeptomania.

by continued and close application to
the study of a particular subject. A
singular case was recently reported
from Germany A well known profess

his own private collection many of the
valuable butterflies of which he had
charge in his official capacity. The ex-
lstence of mental arrangement was
clear from the facts that came out in
the course of the investigation after
ward made by the museum authorities
1t was found that the professor had
often sent his wife out all day to catch
butterflies, so intense was his passion
for these insects. On one occasion the
professor, while hunting a butterfly,
was nearly run over by an express
train. At another time he fell into II
