THE PASSION PLAY. tta Origin, ArordlnK to h Tradition of O hrrammf rit.n. According to loal tradition, the origin of the Oberammergau Passion play was as follows: When in the year 10C3 a deadly plague threatened to depopulate the districts of I'arteukirchen, Escheloke and Kohlgrub, which ar separated from Ammerthal, or the valley of the Ammer, by a rampart of mountains, the Ammerthalers succeeded for a time In protecting themselves against the dread coutagiou, but one day a native who had been working all summer at Escheloke evaded the quarantine and entered the Ammerthal by a secret path In order to celebrate an annual church festival with his family. 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 themselves to God and registered a solemn vow that if he heard their prayer and removed the scourge they would represent, every ten years, 'for thankful remembrance and edifying contemplation, 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 cf the Passion play in fulfillment of the vow of these simple villagers took place at Oberammergau in the following year, and it has been repeated every ten years without a single omission. FEMININE INFLUENCE. Nowhere la K More Felt and I.eaa HecoKnliril Than In Prance. There Is still in every Frenchman a great deal of the oriental way of looking at woman. And the French wife knows It, but she goes on helping her "man," be she duchess or mldinette. She will forgive again and again; she will let him squander her dot and will learn how to do with fewer frocks (the delight of every Frenchwoman) In an ever pitiful attempt to patch up the fortuno and happiness be has wrecked. If she happen to be a shopman's wife he needs no bookkeeper or manager; she will be there from morning till night, the slave of the ledger, careful of ev ery centime, while he, too, often will leave the heavier part of the business in her capable bands and turn his attention to a domino party at the nearest cafe. If she be a peasant's wife no one on the farm will slave harder than she. There Is scarcely any labor which she will not undertake. In every sphere woman Is too often the man of the house. Nowhere is feminine Influence more active, more felt and less recognized than in France, and nowhere among the civilized nations Is man more dependent on woman, more attache to her and less respectful. London Mail. Speed of ftonnda. "Jjidge David Torrence of Derby, Conn.." said a New Haven man, "uttered many an epigram from the bench. In a case concerning a noise nuisance a scientist was once testifying before him about the speed of sound. " 'Sound.' said the man. 'travels at the rate of 400 yards a second. "'All sound'' asked Judge Torrence. -All.' replied the scientist. "The Judge smiled. ."'I'm sure you're wrong,' he said. 'I have noticed a great difference between the speed of certain kinds of sound. Thus, slander travels at the rate of quite 1.000 yards a second; Cattery, 50O yards, while truth makes only a few feet a second, and. slow as its progress is. truth often fails to reach the goal, no matter how short the distance.'" Indianapolis Star. The Peraiana. Socially 1 found the Persian people a grest improvement on the other orientals of the farther east whom I had met. They are of a happy disposition and bright inagiuatlon. doubtless produced by the dry, clear air of their high table lands, which relieves from dullness and depression. They enjoy a joke and laugh heartily, and they are able to see that most things have their amusing side. I was struck with much among all classes which showed that their manners and ways had been favorably touched and turned by a softening civilization of ancient date. General Gordon s "A Varied Life." The Woman of Polae. It Is the creed of the up to date woman never to give herself nway. A cup of CD-fee may te spilled over her delicate silk gowu; she simply holds the breadths together and goes on with her flow of feminine talk. "Enfant terrible" makes agonizing remarks, a rival gives some cruel stab; all is met with the same absolute immobilltr of countenance, Londoa Lady.

Own. Lawyers in England. Tha Diffarenea Batwaan th Barrittl and tha Solicitor. The barrister in England is the very alt of the erth. He it Is who makes the laws, who goi Into parliament, who sits on the bench, who considers himself seven or eight degrees higher up in the social scale than any other poor or middle class mortal, aud with all this he has absolutely no responsibility toward his clients. That ancient, much abused thing called custom la this country has created for the law two separate and distinct limbs, which may be compared in a measure to tha life of the bee. One is th drone and the other the queen. The drone is the solicitor, who sits In an office working up a case, consulting clients, drawing gills, controlling estate transactions and controlling the Incomes of people who are unfortunate enough to be saddled under the trust deeds. The solicitor, who has his own tradition to work out, does not ever get to himself any glory whatever. Eicept In police and county court cases, he Is persona con grata, or, in the words of the judges. "h Is not seen." If he has a case on hand, he is obliged to take it to a barrister, who, though he may never have heard of the matter In dispute before, dona his wig and sown, proceeds into court and argues till all is black and blue, as If he knew all about It, for which be draws a most prodigious fee, quite big enough to enable him to appear nlealy mounted In the row every morning. If he spoils th case, there la no chance for redress, because the barrister la merely a gonttora&xi whom fiction politely assuniea te be a friend In need. All the' onus of failure falls upon the poor solicitor. There are no banisters in prUon, but there are a good many solicitors who wear the broad arrow which is the trademark of his majesty's prisons. The solicitor remains the old time family nd riser, to whom all aorta of foolish people bring their trust deeds, their stock certificates, their government bonds and all such documents which have a tendency to lead a weak men Into temptation, and that Is why so many solicitors, when they need money. And It Impossible to resist the desire to take that which la not theirs. London letter In Town and Country. C, C. k Ii ticket agent will sell yea sleeping car ticket to Calcago for their 11:15 P.
