WITCHCRAFT.

Near the close of the seventeenth GEN.
tnry, that renowned Judge Sir John Holt
Lord Chief Justice Of England esteemed
by his contemporaries, as we'll as BY men
Of after ages, as an embodiment both of
the law and Of justice, was presiding atthe
assizes held In and for his nativecounty Of
Oxford. A decrepit old woman was put
on trial, charged with the crime Of witch-
craft. The history of the case, the oflense
or which tile prisoner was alleged to be
guilty, was laid before the jury by the
AttoIney-General prosecuting for the
Crown. The Chief Justice listened to the
opening of the case with unusual earnest-
ness, for there was recalled to his memory
"a curious incident connected with his own
early life. When 4 student at the Uni.
yersiy uf Oxford his habits were wild all
irregular and he gave no promise Of his
great future emlnence. In company with
several other young students, he had been
for several days OH carouse through
some of .he country places In the vicinity
of Oxford. Young Holt had separated
himself from someof his companions; and
riding np TO way side Inn, withoutaay
money in his pocket, he yet directed his
horse to be fed AMI ample dinner prepared
for himself Strolling Into the kitchen.
he noticed the daughter of the hostess was
i'll, and was told by her neither that she
was great sufferer from fever and ague,
and that the doctors had ieen unable Ia
cure her. The young collegian Vt once
declared his ability to effect cure.
Taking piece Of parchment, he wroie
upon it cabalistic word In the Greek
characters, bound Il tightly upon the wrist
OF :he girl, and then assured her that
while SHE retained it she would have nu
further return Of her clills and fever. He
remained III tie inn for several days aud
| the girl nad no rciurn of her Illness.
When demanding his bill, the grateful
mother said she had no charge against
him, and only regretted her limited
means would not permit her 10 make him
| more ample payment for the healing OF
her daughter. He rode away III triumph.
And now IA he SGT on tile Bench az the
Lord Clnef Justice OF England, he knew
That the decrepit old woman on trial for
her life before him was the daughtero o!
the woman who kept the waysids inn,
aud upon whose wrist he had bound the
parchment charm forty years before
She had followed in his own foot steps,
and had been using the charm for the
benefit of her neighbors and friends. The
Chief Justice called her up; and, as she
unfnlded some old greasy rags, she pre-
senled 10 him the well worn parchment
with the cdbalistic word In his own luutl
writing written upon II. II Is needless 10
add that the woman was at oueo dis
changed. sa

Inthe United States the total consump>
tion ofsugars in 1876, including the pro-
dnct. Of the maple trees and the sugar
made from molasses, Is computed at 7i5,-
600 tons. This isilirce and half rcr
cent, less than 1855, bnt il is at least
hundred per cent, more than the
amount consumedin 1868, or tlinn the
average of the decade Immediately pre-
ceediiig that year. Such an increase,
altogether dispmpertionate TO thegaia in
population, presents curious problem
for the consideration Of the political
economist. The consumption Of sugar,
WHICH Of all so-called luxuries Is In most
general demand, Is commonly reputed a
Trustworthy test Of a country's prosperity.
Vet il will hardly be conieudea that the
ratio of the national wealth 10 the number
OF Inhabitants mt present higher than il
was IN 1853. Certainly We do not feel 70
rich as we did il, tho flush times Of 1866
yet the consumption Of sugar was then
little more than half Of what 1t was last
year.
As regards the enrospcets o. the sugar
trnde during the present season, we have
10 chronicle a signal falling off in The beet
crop from tile figures above cited, for 1916
'76. The estimates for lS76-'77 lave
steadily and rapidly shrunk, and are now
put not higher ,ilnn 05O,aOO ions, which is
equivalent toa lessened yield Of some
3jO,ODO. TO offset This deficit, the cane
countries, as whole. viii probably,
when the distribution is completed, show
gains OH last years production of 100000
10 $500 tons. This. however, with
largely reduced stocks everywhere, still
leaves considerable hiatus Ia the worlds
supply for current use. Altogether, from
standpoint purely statistical. the outlook
il not favorable .or cheap sugar during the
present yeur.-N y Sun.
