INDIGESTION,
Winhcraft in England.

A witch was all that was abominable,
end to be held in,the strongest loathing;
yet few had the wisdom or the courage
to contradict the possibility of her ex-
ercising the arts she pretended to. The
Judge, as he passed sentence upon the
condemned woman, trembled lest her
fell gaze should bring upon him and
his household sorrow or death. The
yelling crowd, as it half stripped her to
undergo the water ordeal, shuddered as
it saw upon her exposed bosom the
marks, which, it was supposed, proved
that she allowed her familiar to draw
upon her LIES blood. The villagers,
who went miles out of their way to avoid
her haunts, never for one moment be-
lieyed that the object of their fear was
powerless to work them evil, and was
either half-mad woman, the victim of
q hideous delusion, or else the actress
Of a knavish part to suit her own vile
ends. To all the old crone, with her
tall hat, ciutch stick. and black cat
nesting on her shoulder, was one who
had dealings with Satan, ana who,
through the might of Satanic aid. could
scatter the seeds of misery broadcast
wherever she listed. She had sold her.
self, body and soul, to hell, and until
death claimed her, her power to effect
evil, it was alleged, was unlimited.
The great man is he who rises superb
or to the prejudices of his age; but be-
fore the end Of the seventeenth century
with the exception Of Bodin, Erastus,
Reginald Scot, John Wagstaiie, and DR..
Webster there were none who had the
boldness or the knowledge to brand
witchcrait as base and palpable su-
perstition. We find Lord Bacon grave
ly prescribing ''henbane, hemlock, man
drake, moonshade, tobacco, opium, and
other soporiforous medicines, as the
best ingredient for witch's ointment.
From the pages Of his History of the
World, ?" we see that the gifted and
practical Sir Walter Raleigh was firm
believer in this childish form of SUPER
stition. The learned Selden, in his
liable Talk" while pleasantly dis
coursing on the subject of witches,
shows that he also held the same faith.
Sir Thomas Browne. the kindliest of
physicians; Sir Matthew Hale, one of
the most acute and spotless of judges;
Hobbest, the skeptic; 1.-The eminent DIR.
More, Of Cambridge" and the patient
and thoughtful Boyle, all were Of opin.
ion that witchcraft was an evil capable
of solid proof, and that its disciples
merited sharp and swift punishment.

Women s Tears.

He must be brute indeed who can
bring tears to womans eyes. His
heart must be of stone TO enjoy the spec
tacle of q woman bathed in food OF
wild emotion, with tile convulsive sobs
shaking her little form, while grief, like
tornado. tesses. her about like paper
collar box On the bosom of the boiling
torrent.
Few men have the hardihood to look
q grief-stricken woman in the face while
her nose swells up, angry and iritated,
in the distance Few men are so lost
TO all the better feelings of our nature
as to do AN act which will thaw out the
frizzes and flood the features of the
woman he loves.
This is one reason why many men are
kind to their wives, who would other
wise be cruel and heartless. They do
not like to see the wife of their bosom
looking as though she bad erysipelas in
her nose.
1t isn't the grief of wives that is kill
ing off our husbands. 1t is the terrible
shock to their aesthetic taste. No hus-

waste after the washout has subsidized
and the bridge is repaired.
Then, fellow men, on our journey to
the tomb, let us resolve that we will not
do or say anything that will bring the
hectic flush to the nose of her to whom
we have vowed lifelong fidelity. Let
us, as far as possible, stave off the
storm, and if tears must be shed let us
shed them ourselves. Most of us are
so ding busted homely that it don't
make any difference whether we color
our Lose cherry red OF sage green.
Then again if we weep pretty pro-
miscuously and keep our nose mddling
red, perhaps we can fool the temper
ance people and thus regain some Of
the respect that we have lost. Blu

Chinese Beds.

There are two kinds Of Chinese beds,
and both are arranged for a complete

tains and tapestry. The expensive kind
is like sort of cage, having a flat
wooden roof, just the size of the bed
proper supported ~ height of about
eight feet from the floor on four corner
posts and Two intermediate ones. Then
there is sort OF frezc or entablature
work running around horizontally,
above and below, SO that when you are
in bed you are safely penned in sort OF
cage, and cannot possibly tumble out.
The carving on these beds is sometimes
very rich, and they cost much; but the
ordinary and cheaper kind is made of
two frames Of wood shaped something
like the skeleton Of an old-fashioned
SETTLE" which are stood up on the
floor. facing each other A mattress is
placed on the projecting parts OF these
frames, and couple Of slight sticks
across the top; then curtains and hang
ings shut all in, and make it look as
pretty as the taste and money Of the
owner are able. Inside, there is cot
ton quilt, laid on the mattress frame.
The occupant Of the bed lies on this,
having little roll Of stuff for the head,
and for covering very thick cotton
quilt. N

Something Interesting.

HOW MARRIAGErIN PENNSYLVANIA
REVOKES A WILL.
Some very hard cases have arisen un-
der our law in regards to this subject.
A man about to marry has made his
will in favor of his intended wife,
and woman about to marry has
made her will in favor of her intended
husband, and in both cases the wills
have been revoked by the marriage.
1t has happened more than once that
purchasers who bought from the de-
vsees or legatees under will have
found that they had failed to get a
title to the whole property on account
of an outstanding claim on the part OF
an afterborn child of the testator. 1t
is important, therefore, that the fol-
IUwIng summary OF the law by the
late Chief Justice Reed should be kept
in mind:
81. The will of single woman is
revoked by her subsequent marriage,
and is not revived by the death of her
husband"
"2. If n man makes his will and
marries, and dies leaving widow, SO
far as regards the widow, he dies in
testate; that is, revoked pro tdnto' Tor
in that respect.
'3. If a man makes his will, and
has an after-born child or children not
provided for in said will, and dies
leaving such after-born child or child.
ren, so far as regards such child OF
children, he dies intestate, and his
will is revoked pro tdnto."
81. If a man makes his will and
marries, and dies leaving widow anC
child not provided for in such will
his will is not revoked absolutely, as
at common law, but only pro td'ato."
"5. If "A man makes his will, mar
ries and dies, leaving a widow, but not
known heirs or kindred, it is clearly
revoked, so far as to give to his widow
both the real and personal estate abso-
lutely.'
The law refuses to admit that aman
can intend to disinherit his children
unless he shows that intention by 8
will made after they are born.
