WITCHCRAFT IN MEXICO.
An Old Woman Beaten to Death Beca US
She Practiccd Sorcery.

An Old Woman Beaten to Death Because
She Practiccd Sorcery.
A remarkable criminal case is about
to come to trial here which illustrates
the survival of the belief in witchcraft
in the nineteenth century. The parties
and the witches" in the case are in
habitants OF little town near Capt.
talo. During the past year an old
woman living in the town has been
exacting monthly tax from the
fathers Of families to prevent her
from taking the lives of their chill
dren by sucking their breath in some
mysterious manner, her pretense being
that she was witch and had a mys-
terious power over life and death. She
lived in little hut, in which she kept
all the paraphernalia Of witch
craft-a cat, a broom, a dead croco-
die, etc.-and was in the habit
OF going out on the neighboring mount
aims and looking for hours steadily a,
the horizon. and when in town would
mystify the inhabitants by making
incomprehensible gestures. writing
strange characters in the dust, and 9TH
erwise terrify the simple villagers.
Recently child in one family died
suddenly, and as the father had refused
to pay the monthly tax to this witch.
it was rumored that she had bewitched
the child. an impression which grew
stronger and stronger. Finally the
godfather OF the child, man named
Medina. met the woman in Street OF
the village and said to her: why
did you kill my godchildP" The witch
replied: Because its father did not
pay me my tax" "Well. neither will
| pay that infamous tax" he replied.
"Then," said the witch, II will kill
your child Medina replied: "Well,
you will not kill it, for will kill you."
He then beat the old woman to death.
and his act was sustained by the whole
village. He has been arrested for MUIR
der. and his trial will bring most OF
the older people OF the village to Mex
leo as witnesses in his behalf. The
lawyer for Medina is Emilio Romero.
This case recalls the fanaticism once
rampant in the Massachusetts, town OF
Pocasset, and will be the most inter-
esting trial. from Psychological point
Of view, known here for some time

Why They Are to BE Avoided by Young as
Well Ms Old Persons.
A writer in "a London paper dis
courses about the danger of easy '.in-
timacies" that is. of giving the conf
dence to the people of whom one
knows nothing except that they are
pleasant companions when they are
met socially. 1.-The danger lies," he
says, ''in the facility with which COM
panionship of this kind is mistaken for
true intimacy, though it does not really
imply any thing approaching to it" A
woman will trust her life to the
keeping of man, Of whose aims,
OF whose standard of right and
wrong, of whose power OF habit of
giving up to the standard she knows
just rs much and just as little us she
does Of the actors whom che has seen
on the stage, though she is deceived into
thinking she knows more, only be-
cause she happens in this case to have
been one of the actors and not merely
a passive spectator. There is more
truth than poetry in this thought. for
in nine cases out Of ten the two persons
who come together in marriage have no
more conception each of the others
true character and real disposition
than OF those OF dozen others in their
circle Of acquaintance. They are sim
ply pleasant, social companions, and
that is all. There are quite as many
mistakes made in friendship through
these ''easy intimacies," though the
consequences are not as far-reaching.
Women. especially. are apt to give
their confidence to those with whom
they have been familiarly associated
when they never proved their trust
worthiness. II is one thing to have
pleasant little familiar conversations
about every day matters; it is another
to impart what perhaps touches the
inner life. and which made light Of, or
misrepresented, would place one in an
uncomfortable position, or possibly
even worse, injure the reputation or
put it in the gossip's hands 20 DO with
as they please. A real friend, true
friend, one who can be trusted to enter
the holy Of holies of your heart with
out desecrating 1t, is among the best
gifts that life can offer, but they are
found in small numbers and are only
proved by trial. A certain amount OF
reserve, even with familiar companions,
is a good thing to employ, for it gives
not only sense OF safety, but OF
security Toledo Blade.

POULTRY FUNDAMENTAL
Hints from Nature for the Health of HeI
and Their Eggs,

Hints from Nature for the Health OF Hens
and Their Eggs.
1t is an old experience of mine that
eggs ranking highest in vitality come
from fowls which roam over an unlim-
tied range, and. outside OF clean and
insect-free quarters, are given the least
amount of care, and but little food Cor
none during the summer) besides what
they find on their foraging expeditions.
The demands of the egg-mill for raw
material keep the bird active and in
good health, and prevent the injurious
accumulation of fat. Fresh eggs from
fowls thus kept, II properly packed in
bran or saw-dust, give good chance
to hatch even after a journey clear
across the continent. The breeder
who surrounds his focks with condi-
tions similar TO those found in nature,
who scorns the use of artific; c;al methods
and feeds, will hear very little COM
plant of poor "hatches," or of chicks
such As heavy dew, light rain or a
hot sun can kill.
Most breeders, having a number OF
different breeds and strains, are COM
PEELED to keep them more or less in
confinement. 1t takes an experienced
person, with an unusual dose of COM
mon sense, to know just the amount OF
all the various raw materials which
laying hens require; a sufficiency and
no more; and such person may have
"eggs for hatching'' to send out which
will approach in vital force those pro-
duced by free-roaming focks kept on
the ''scratch-hen-or-dien plan. l prefer
to put my trust in the latter. Forcing
for egg production can be indulged in
only at the risk Of injury to the. vitality
OF the eggs. Fowls are like average
people inactive, lazy. so long as there
is no incentive to work. Plenty OF
food for the picking up makes fat fowls
and spoils their eggs for Matching.
The chicks either die before fully de-
veloped, or just when ready to leave
the shell, or soon after, and no skill.
in feeding or management can ever
make first-class fowls OF even those
that live. An excessive corn
diet should be avoided, especially at
the South, where the abundance of
that cereal leads to over-free use.
The best staple grain food for breeding
fowls is wheat and oats. / use the
former almost exclusively. but reason
ably sparingly, during the breeding
season. To the advice: Away with
the useless and injurious eaters" (the
surplus cocks), ! would add: Away
with narrow yards and tight fences;
away with superfluous and injurious
food, especially corn.n would prefer
to have but a single breed or strain on
one farm, II pure stock is the aim. and
to leave them as much as possible to
themselves. This will give YOU No.
'.eggs for Matching. 1T. 0reiner, in
