We still see horse-shoes, owls, hawks,
ETC., nailed on the doors of old barns.-l
These supposed charms agains, sorcery
were used even in Pagan times, and date
back to the Romans. Persons accused of
withcaafi have been subjected to the most
barbarous and unrelenting punishments.
In thousands of cases, the victims, often
quite innocent, were burned alive, while
others were drowned by the test applied.
Ii, on being thrown into pond, they did
not sink, they were pronounced witches,
and either stoned on the spot, or reserved
for the stake. Five hundred witches were
burned at Genoa, in three months, in 1915.
One thousand in tire diocese Of Como, in
year. An incredible number in France,
about 1920, when one sorcerer confessed
to having 1,200 associates. More than
100000 perished, mostly by the aemes, in
Germany. Gfandeis, the parish priest of
Loudan, in France, was burned on the
charge of having bewitched a whole con-
vent of nuns, A. D. 1884 In Bretsgne,
20 poor women were put to death as
witches in 1854. Maria Renata was
burned at Wurizbnrg in 1749. AT Ka-

A French actress, whose youth and
beauty appeared inexhaustible-on the
boards-would never tell her age. OF
course. the more she wouldn't tell, the
more curious people were TO know IT. A
woman can't keep secret She kept

and gallautry, who would never let a pre-
