| 1t IS generally stated that the las witch
was burned III Europe iii 1893, in Prnssian
Poland. Bit this has now become 4 mis-
take. She was burned Feb. 26th, 1879, in
Vratsheyo, in the Government of Novgor-
Tod, Russia. Her name was Agrafena Ig-
natieya. She was a soldiers widow. and
seems early in life to have acquired fame
for her skill in various secret arts. The
name once acquired, she pIoiited by it..
Without working, she had plenty Of good
things, for the peasants in the neighbor-
hood stood in great awe Of her, and sent to
her house the best of their harEests. But
at last Nemesis overlook her. Fits Of epi-
lepsy become u1eoinnonly frequentin that
part Of thu. country, and they were invali-
bly, attributed to A sAgrafena's evil eye. III
he beginning they increased her reputa-
ton, but finally, the fear Of her grew into
terror, and the instinct Of seif-defense
awakened. One day a Young girl, III . fit
Of epilepsy, mentioned Agrafena,s name,
and few hours later on, the whole p0pu-
lation Of the county gathered around her
hut, among them the Justice Of the Peace
and two members of the Representative
Assembly of the Government. There was
a short parley between Agrafena and the
crowd. Then she was driven into the house
and the doors and windows were locked,
and the house was set on fire; and while
the unhappy women cried, screamed, and
prayed for her life, the crowd stood un-
moved, looked Oh to the last, and sang
hymns in praise Of the Savior who had de
iivered them from Satan.
