Nine Million Witches Burned |!

Sprenger computes that during the
Christian era no fewer than nine million
witches were Inundated. In England
the last execution for witchcraft took
place in 1716. but in Illinois as late MS
1880 to 1900, several unfortunates were
put TO death This Is terrible reflection
on the boasted enlightenment of the age
but we must not be over censorious, while
we daily see friends going down to death

of remedies which might save them

the following curious statement was let
fall: A short time ago when some re-
pairs were being made in the Queen Of
Scots room. a stone mason struck tho
jutting-out stone aforementioned,
which rang hollow. He had the Curl
osity to turn it up and discovered the
remains OF baby wrapped in cloth OF

known that Mary Stuart gave birth to
James /. of England and the vi. Of
Scotland in the adjoining room, and
that Immediately after the birth the
child was removed and brought up
elsewhere, the Queen showing small in
terest in her offspring.
Now, supposing the real child, tho
real james, is the infant wrapped in
cloth OF gold, lying under that stone,
who was the other child who after
wards reigned rs James /. OF England
and vi. of Scotland? Did this ques-
ton ever occur TO the authorizes? This
will be best answered by asking how
they are said to have treated the dis
covery. They telegraphed at once to tho
high parsonage at London whose bust

Children were made superlative happy on Christmas eve. by the dis trlbutions of Kris Kringle as were also mothers in witnessing the pleasure thus afforded the rising generation. The music of the fish horn greeted the ear long after lights were extinguish- ed Tn the church. Dolls, resplendent- ly dressed, are still trundIed by little tots who thus early in life have as stunned maternal cares, and wheel the wax, and sawdust creations in miniature carrlages, so as to avoid a draft upon their money box to requite the demand of a surgeons bill, in case of broken limb. The boys were also happy in the possession of tops, whips, or red wagons. Adults were no less happy in tie possession of apprecia- ble gifts from generous givers. And thus it was throughout christendom, and all were thankful that a savior was born and cradled on the plains of Judea.
 We were denied an entrance into the church because of being a few minutes late, and were not even af- forded peep, and, therefore, are un- able to speak of the literary and musi- cal performance, which we greatly re- gret, but are gratifed to know that all were delighted with the entertain ment.

A city druggist stated that he had had eight calls for Joys Vegetable sarsaparilla but had sold his own every time. It did not occur to him that it might be serious matter to give his old time mercury and potash preparation to people who do not need syphilitic treatment. It is safe to say that not perso1t in teu have q syphilitic trouble. Hence what do they want with such dangerous minerals as mercury and potash? What ninctenths of our people are troubled with is indigestion, dyspepsia, sick headaches, constipation and face erGptions, all of which are the legitimate results of improper liver and kidney action, or impaired digestive organs. Those disorders do not call for syphiltic treatment, but for mild vegetable liver, stomach and bowel alternatives. We are surprised that intelligent people should be persuaded into talk ing mercury and potash sarsapariila When yc;I osk for Joys Vegetable Sarsaparila, sec that you get it.
