hunaarian Passion Play.

Incited by the success of Oberam-
mergau, the remote Hungarian village
of Mikofalva has arranged Magyar
passion plays. The first performance,
on June 10, proved great success,
but the continuation of the plays de-
pends upon the public interest.
The part of Christ is played by a
twenty-year- old peasant, Gabo Koracz,
grown up without any training, while
Judas is personified by the richest
peasant of the neighboring village
Macy. During the first performance
the public, entirely made up of simple
peasants of the neighborhood, were
moved to tears.

told them, 81 want each of you to

Tomorrow and its questions came.
Some of them were good and others
were impossible. One small fellow, a
youngster with rosy cheeks and
sparkly eyes, waved his hand wildly.
The teacher called on him. He stood
erect, to the very height of his tiny
Nature, and read: as any girl safe?"

THE MAN WHO OURS

Tho man who quits has a brain and nand
As good as the next but he lacks sand
That would make him stick with cou--

To whatever he tackles and fight 1t out
He starts with rush and solemn vow
That he'll soon be showing the other
how;
Then something new strikes his rowing
eye,
And the task is left for the bye and bye.
No man is beaten until he gives in;
Hard luck can't stand against a cheer

The man who fails needs better ex-
cuse

Funeral Taxation.

Among the new taxes with which
England is burdened there is one on
funerals.
This is, however merely the revival
of tax that existed as early as in
1695. At that time every burial in
volved fee to the state of 50.
In 1850 this law was modified and
the tax was based on the profession
of the deceased.
To bury workingman 81 had to be
paid. The tariff exacted So for "gen-

FEW GAIN BY COMMUNICATING
Imitation Of eanknotes and Coin Do
elared by Seeret-Sevice Man
to Be Mania.

A secret-service man tells of man
in Chicago near eighty who has spent
about two-thirds Of his life In prison
as result Of an overpowering inclina-
tion to make counterfeit dimes. Ev-
cry time he has been released he has
gone back to, dime making, and been
caught and returned to the penitenti-
ary.
Another man, originally from Co
lumbus, O., about sixty-seven years
old, has spent nearly forty years be-
hind stone walls for making lead dol
lars. He confesses that In all that
time he has never succeeded In passing
more than 100 of them.
"Counterfciting is mania," says
the secret-service man, land once it
seizes man, he rarely gets over 1t.
They tell me there's rare thrill about
seeing counterfeit bill come from the
press"
There must be. A young federal
employee who was arrested recently
for raising banknotes by pasting fig
ures of larger denomination over the
original imprint apparently had done
1t purely for the love Of the game,
without profiting at all. He had given
away the bills he raised.
Thus most counterfeiting seems to
be creative work gone wrong. If the
counterfeiters could only be caught in
time and made to use their construc-
tive ingenuity In better cause the
world would be the gainer.-Asbury

The Spoon.

The first spoon was the palm of the
hand. Afterward people used shells
they got at the seashore. Then they
thought of fitting handles on Shells
Though spoons were used ages ago in
ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, it
was a long time before they were used
In the west of Europe. So late as the
Fifteenth century the highest form of
the spoon was the shell with the
handle. But by the time Louis XIV
reigned in France the modern daintily
decorated spoon was used.
