Toronto. Ont. ONE RESULT OF THE WAR. The World-Fsmous I'ssxion Play May Never .\xain Be Enacted. Oberammergau, tlje little village in Bavaria that became world-famous as the home of the Passion Play, is vir- tually a deserted village where sor-j row broods. All of its male inhabit- ants capable of bearing arms have en- tered the rank.-i of the Bavarian army, and many have fallen in battle. Miss Madeline Doty, who has visit- ed the village, in recording her ex- periences in the Atlantic Monthly re- lates a conversation that she had with a waitress at the little hocl. "The town is sad," we averred. "Why shouldn't it be?" she retort- ed. "We have lost so much." "How many men have gone to the war?" we asked. "Every one under forty-five. Five hundred and fifty out of a population of eighteen hundred." We paused a moment. It seemed brutal to go on now, but we wanted information. "There were forty killed and forty- eight wounded the first year. I dont know the number now." "Will there ever be another Passion Play?" She shrugged her shoulders. "How can I tell?" Some of the players and musicians have lost an arm or a leg, and others are dead. The town no longer has any money." We pushed back our chairs and went out into the golden sunshine. No one moved about the streets. It was like a village swept by a plague and de- serted. War has been a special disas- ter to Oberammergau. It has dealt a blow at its spiritual as well a.s its physical welfare. PEERLESS STARTER A Quarintsed Starting System for Ford Cars. Sell* for 922.60.

They've left me with the hired man To run the farm as best we can. It's hard, and work is moving slow â€" Bat when their duty calls, they go. So I, like old man Zebedee, Beside the Lake of Galilee, Said: "Leave behind your cares and frets; I'll stay on here and mend the nets, .â- \.nd keep the tight old bark a-swim; You go and follow Him." Animal and Vegetable Life Exists Near Its Shores. | The Dead Sea is not so dead as it| has be«n painted, if we are to believe a recent lecturer before the Royal Geographical Society, Dr. W. G. Mas- terton. He is thus quoted in The English Mechanic and World of Science. | "Ancient writers established a myth \ that the Dead Sea was an abode of' death, that its shores were sterile, and', that even birds flying over its water | were liable to fall dead. All these' ideas are now known to be the reverse of the truth. It was true that the wa- ters were so permeated with salt that no animal or vegetable life could flour- ish in the bulk of its volume, but near the shores, where streams of brackish water found their' way into the sea, I small fish, crabs, and mosquito larvae were found, and he had seen fVsh in the sea. A bottle of water taken from the same spot immediately afterward , was proved to contain no less than 33.3 per cent, of solids. In one of the Jericho hotels, before the war, there was a declaration jointly signed the same year by over a dozen tourists., that they saw fish actively swimming at the same spot. At many spots along the shore there are cases in which acres of reeds and many trees flourished, and at such spots animal life and bird life was abundant." Parsnips do well on land that last year produced potatoes, celery or leeks. The Archbishop of York at Wycliffe College. On hi£ recent visit to Toronto, the Archbishop of York spent a short time at Wyclifl'e College, where the Founders' Chapel was the particular point of his interest, the larger part of the building being at the present time used for military purposes. Doctor O'Meara, the principal showed him the Roll of Honor which gives the names of thirty graduates and seven- ty undergraduates who are serving with His Majesty's forces as Chaplain.^ of combatants, and the Memorial Roll on which are inscribed the names ot two graduates and seven under- graduates who have paid the supreme, *,,... • ^, • , j price of self-sacrificing service.

Let folks step on your feet here- I after; wear shoes a size smaller if you like, for corns will never again send 1 electric sparks of pain through you, 1 according to this Cincinnati authority. [ He says that a few drops of a drug called freczone, applied directly upon a tender, aching corn, instantly re- lieves soreness, and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts right out. This drug dries at once and simply shrivels up the corn or callus without even irritating the surrounding tissue, j .A. small bottle of freezone obtained ; at any drug store will cost very little but will positively remove every hard or soft com or callus from one's foot. If your druggist hasn't stocked this new drug yet, tell him to get a small bottle of freezone for you from his wholesale drug house. oâ€" _____ Mixed Them Up. The squad of recruits was parti- cularly dense, and the sergeant got more and more exasperated. One man appeared quite incapable of telling his right hand from his left. Said the sergeant at last: "Now, yer bloomin' idiot, hold yer hands in front of yer. Twist them one over the other. Stop I Now tell me which is yer left hand and which is yer right." The recruit looked blankly at his hands for a moment. "I'm blowed if I know," he said; "you have gone and mixed 'em up." Market Your Maple Sugar.
