Uses Of Coral

Coral Is used in India as an adorn,

According to the custom of former
years the Germans of Paterson, N. j.,
greeted the rising of the sun on the first
Sunday in May with songs from II of
the highest points about the city. Gar
rett Mountain used to be the spot Sc
lected for this survival of the ancient
sun-worshiping custom, but since the
tragic affair of s4'eral years ago, when
one of the crowd accompanying the
singers was killed for ~tresspassing, that
lofty plateau has been neglected. On
tins particular day the Arion Singing
Society selected the Monument Heights,
lust above the fails, as the point whence
they would greet the first rays of the
morning sun. Long before 5 O'Clock
the enteTprislng singers had gathered
there only TO find a still larger and
more enterprising crowd of sightseers
already assembled to witness the novel
spectacle. The sun arose according to
schedule time, but a few minutes be-
hind standard time, and was cordially
greeted with a ringing chorus from
lusty throats, and if he understands
German he must have been gratifed
with the warmth of his welcome. There
wa not much warmth in the air where
his admirers stood; on the contrary, a
keen north wind vas blowing, sweep
ing lcily oyer the lofty heights, while a
chill mist arose from the river below.
However, as the sun arose clear and
bright this mist quickly disappeared,
but the atmosphere remained chilly,
and, having performed their self-ap-
pointed task, the singers buttoned their
overco0ts closely around them and
fastened shiveringly down the noun
tain aud to the nearest lager beer saloon
to refresh their tired threats. The de-
monstration, although Il success, was
not as imposing as those of former
years.

A Foolish SOreeress Condemned t.
Twenty Yeafss imprisonment.

Paris Letter in the New Oflsens Picayunel
The sorceress of Villeioint has Just been
condemned to twenty years of imprisonment
at hard work and after that to twenty year g
surveillance By the police. Last summer
this woman, Pommier, tfiads acquaintance in
the church at Blois of rich old lady, Nine.
Duval. '1 have succeeded said she, after
some preliminary conversation, I'm discover
ing the secret which formerly rendered the
sorcerers SO powerful and what they used to
do can do. I can restore harmony and
peace in the home of your daughter and l
can also, if you desire it, give you large
fortune; I have the power to make gold come
up out OF tbs ssrth like water flowing from a
spring" Fascinated By these remarks the
old lady took the woman home With her, to
Villejoint, village two miles from Biois, and
gave her the best spare bedroom. Then the
next morning she gave her sum of money,
which the hag locked up In q bureau drawer,
and, handing Mine Duvsl the key, said: 81
have pronounced the charm and as soon as
am gone it will begin to work; bat if you
should during my absence open the drawer
the-speu will be broken" The woman went
away promising to return on the fifth day.
This she did, and, entering the room
where the money was, she exclaimed: Il am
inspired; / see all around me buried in the
earth If 1 had only four 100-franc notes,
two of 500 francs and 1900 francs in gold l
draw up thousands of millions from the
earth" The sum she asked for was added to
the treasure in the drawer, crucifix was
placed on it, another charm pronounced, and
the old thief departed, promising to return
on fixed date. On her third visit more
money, all the jewelry and siiverware in the
house were added to the pile in the drawer.
On her fourth and last visit she gave Nine.
Duval white powder that was to be burned
the following Thursday after she had care
