At Salem, Mass, are the official rec
ords of Essex county as early as 1850.
The testimony of the witchcraft trials
is complete in its original form, but
there is the record of only one execu-
ton, that of Bridget Bishop, whereas
nineteen lives in all were sacrificed at
that time in response TO a popular
fallacy and public delusion
There were half dozen witnesses in
Bridget Bishops case, mostly young
girls IA and is years old, and they
sworc THAT they had been sorely af-
ilicted since they had in some way in
Cured Bridget's dislike. One of them
had been awakened in the dead Of
night TO find Rridget's specter sitting
heavily ON her chest. She attempted
to clap her hands at her, but the
ghostly visitor hoped out OF the win
dow.
Another young woman was similar
ly awakened one night and discerned
the form of a devil, which she de-
scribed as cross between bat and a
monkey. From its perch on the foot
board the devil said to the maiden:
'Ye have been afflicted of mind Of
late, and troubled sore. DO my bid
ding and We shall want for nothing. 4"
With this according to the maids
story, the spirit held out book and
asked her to sign. She refuxed, and
the hideous form disappeared. She
felt positive that the spirit was that of
Bridget Bishop, because on the morn
ing she found her alleged disturber in
the orchard, and then and there ao-
cused hsr of being possessed. Tho
girl dared her to deny the charge, and
Bridget did deny it This seemed to
be evidence conclusive, and Bridget
was duly put TO death on Gallows
Hill. Attached to her death warrant
is the certificate of Sheriff George Cor
bin, evident of the fact that he had
conveyed "ye body of sd Brigstt Bish-
op out of His Majesty's Goal in Salem
and caused We sd Brigett to be hanged
by the neck until she was dead. st

The Latest English Cause celebre.

Justice, with the limping foot, ;"
has at last overtaken the murderer
of Mr. Rose, the unfortunate tourist
from London whose body was found
on the mountain of Gaotfell on the
4lh of August last 1t looked, for
some time, as If justice would not be
equal to the occasion. In the first
place, nobody would ever had suspected
John Laurie of being the traveller
"Annandale,n if he had only held his
tongue. Secondly, he baffied the pur-
suit of the police so long that it seemed
as If he was destined to ge. clear off.
And, in the third place, there was a
possibility that the jury which, it APP
pears, only convicted him by a major
ity-might have felt a shade of doubt
as to his guilt, and might, therefore,
have accepted the theory of the de-
fense that Mr.. Rose had fallen from
the rocks, and that Laurie, in alarm,
had concealed his body and appropri-
ated his property to his own use. The
special interest of this melancholy
matter is, of course, the terribly apt
illustration it affords of the danger
which the solitary tourist runs who
takes up with an unknown travelling
companion
In these days of cheap and easy
communication between distant parts
there is hardly man given to travel
ing much alone who cannot describe,
from his own experience, attempts on
the part of strangers TO make acquain-
tance. The saloon carriage aud the
steamers deck are nowadays the hap
py hunting grounds of desperadoes,
none the less dangerous because they
do not play their game according t0
the rules of the highwaymen of by
gone days 1t is quite natural that q
young man of expansive temperament,
who has started on solitary tour, and
probably got thoroughly bored with
his own society, IN the first twenty
four hours, should be not unwilling
TO accept the friendly advances Of b
talkatiye travelling companion. Rare
| ly, no doubt, does rashiless pay so ter
rible penalty as in the case OF pooi
Rose. But, for all that, his case j.
typical. and only shows the possible
result of form of imprudence which
is only tos. common. London Globe.

Looking for Bedroom.

"a sleeping car conductor sees some
of the most ludicrous as well as pa
thetic sights to be found anywhere, !"
said Pullman official who had risen
from the ranks. II remember when
! ran from New York to Chicago, and
if l get blue l conjure up the funny
incidents of my experience on the
road. The newly married couple with
their ludicrous endearments-I mean
ludicrous to the general observer-are,
OF course, source of fun to many of
the passengers, but, being married
man myself, of course, I have warm
spot for others who are entering that
happy condition.
my funniest experience was on
the Pennsy, when / was running the
through line, long before the limited
was thought of. A middle aged wo
man, accompanied by boy, boarded
the train at Harrisburg, and, unlucky
for them, they both held upper berth
checks. Neither had ever been in Il
sleeper before, and when night canc
on the woman began a diligent search
Of the car. The porter asked her if
she had lost anything and she gave
him negative answer. He at last be
came frightened and came to me,
thinking her crazy. When / asked
her what the matter was she said
Nothing, but | am looking for the
bedroom / told her there was no
regular bedroom, but would have
their berths made up. She watched
the porter intently, and when finished
/ told her they were ready. Are those
themF she said; why, do you think
sleep on shelf2 Those things are not
beds; why, l can't undress. Young
man, you are swindler to ask me TO
pay for the privilege of sleeping on
the upper shelf in that cupboard
Many of the passengers were con
vulsed with laughter, and finally a
young man who had lower berth
exchanged it for the upper one.
Il afterward carried that woman a
number of times, but she tried to avoid
me if possible. ."-Pittsburg Dispatch.

IN BOHEMIA.

You have been theref oh, friend, in soo;h
You are of kincred unto me,
For botl have felt that mellow youth
That enters in where age should be:
And stands, half shy, in borrowed prime.
To jeer the hating steps of time
And you have feastsd, drank, and played
Alone, yet of nulttude;
Have felt the pulses that are swayed
Most deeply when the most subdued;
Have smiled on faces that grew up
AS in the field the buttercup
But have you set the boundaries
And can yea flnd the land agains
IL have lost the place-it lies
Somewhere, beyond, above. Oh, strain
Your memory somehow, so we go
Together to the land we know.
Remember how the way grew dark;
One had no compass there to guide;
Hope showed the only beckoning spark
And wish tripped coyly at the side.
Until q halt, fall, and 10,
How fair Bohemia s land did glowl
And SO you do not now recalls
The way was long, ah, very long;
You only know that over all
There grew the meaning of song.
And in the height of its refrain
Each singing soul forgot Its pain.
But would that were there once morei
bad friend, the doors grew wide,
He entered in, but just before
My feet had reached his loving side
The doors shut fast, his laugh and shout
They reached me as Iwept without
And. afterward went far away,
Looked DER the farther heavenly rim,
Tosee il with the coming day
might receive smile from him,
Shot out ray-ike between the beams
That crept across the purling streams
think he is singer there,
And IL hts face is as of old
Round, flushed. and joyous. brightly fair,
IL. his dark locks CLINT of gold
I think he will be glad to meet
His kinsman from the wide worlds street
For we had sang together here;
he knew my passion, I his heart.
And catching knowledge everywhere,
Each wapdered with his better part;
And thus he grew SO much of me,
That without him what may bef
So take my wish within your hand;
i, with your memories in my heart
VIII find the path; see the land,
Is ended where one would to start
Ah brotheri here Bohemia Is,
In hope, regret, In memories.

A Bristol dog which was found in a
deserted barn on Thursday had sur
vived six weeks without food. The
dog is valuable setter, belonging to
Robert Bruden, and was lost six weeks
ago. after Mr.. Bruden had been at a
furniture sale. The furniture dealer
had locked the dog in his barn, and
left the town. People in the neigh
borhood heard the dog barking for
two weeks, and then heard him no
more. After fruitless search ir every
other direction Mr.. Bruden thought
of the furniture dealers barn, and
looked in there as last chance. Here
he found the setter as thin as shin
ole and too weak to stand up. He,
however, soon revived under the
stimulating effects Of three pound
beefsteak, and is now well.-Pkiladel-

Teeth are just as easily starved to
death as the stomach. In one way 1t
is blessing to have been born Of poor
parents. What food the poor give
their children is of the variety that
goes to make strong bones and teeth.
1t is the outside OF all the grains, Of
all the cereal foods, that contains the
carbonate and phosphate of lime and
traces OF other earthly salts which
nourish the bony tissues and build the
frame up.
If we do not furnish to the teeth of
the young that pabulum they require,
they cannot possibly be built up. 1t
the outside of corn, oats, wheat, bar
ley and the like, or the bran, so called,
that we sift away and feed to the
swine, that the teeth actually require
for their proper nouiishment- The
wisdom of man has proven his folly,
shown in every succeeding generation
of teeth, which becomes more fragile
and weak. These Touring mills are
working destruction upon the teeth OF
every man, woman and child who
partakes of their fine bolted -four.
They sift out the carbonates and phos-
pilates of lime in order that they may
provide that fine white flour which Is
proving whitened sepulcher to the
| teeth.
Oatmeal is one of the best foods for
supplying teeth with nourishment, 1t
makes the dentine cementum and
enamel strong, flint like, and able to
resist all forms of decay. II you have
children never allow any white bread
upon your table. Bread made Of whole
wheat ground, not bolted, SO that the
| bran which contains the minute guam
titles of lime is presknt, i best. To
make a good, wholesome, nourishing
bread take two bowls of wheat meal
and one bowl Of white or bolted flour
and make by the usual process. Moth
| ing is superior to brown bread for bone
and tooth building. This is made out
| Of rye meal and corn meal. Baked
beans. too, have a considerable sup
ply of these lime salts, and should be
on your table, hot or cold, three times
a week.-American Analyst

Banana Paper.

that the banana plant contains great
er quantity of pure fiber than any
other of the numerous vegetable prod

paper. During the first twelve months
of its vegetation the plant produces bot
a single bunch of fruit, after whicn
it dies; but from its roots four to ten
young plants spring up. The adapta
ton Of the plant to commercial pur.
poses will, it is anticipated, revolution
ize the paper material market and
largely affect the industry. The plant
