A curiosity Of unpleasant peasant supersti-
tion has been revealed at a trial in southern
Russia, which ended in the conviction of -four
peasants for the murder Of a girl II years
old The superstition recalls that about the
thieves and the candles narrated in connec-
ton with the Whitcchapol murders These
peasants, it seems, were believers ia the
superstition that candles made or human Fat
rendered the bearers invisible TO obtain
these articles they first attempted to murder
a boy in the forest and next tried to kin an
old peasant; thirdly, Russian clergyman,
and being disturbed on all three occasions. at
last succeeded in numbering Sr.Seria Cher.
kaschina. With the fat from the child's body
they made candles, and with their help at
tempted to commit a robbery. The light u
the candles betrayed them, which seems d
singularly just happening, and on being ar
rested they confessed everything The eyi-
dence in court showed the belief in the
thieves candle superstition to be very wide
spread in Russia. Cor. Philadelphia Press.
