Witchcraft in Germany.

A farmer 10 Germany lost several
head of cattle within few months, and
his family agreed that this could only
be the result of witchcraft, exercised
by Il neighbor with whom they we're
not on friendly terms. A miller from
the vicinity, famed for his power over
evil spirits, was consulted, and ordered
the doors to be painted with a certain
ointment. The evil-doer, he said
would be the first person to enter
thereafter, and could only be kept from
further mischief by having his or her
nose squeezed between the door and
the jamb until the member was
crushed. The first person who entered
was the neighbours wife, who was
duly captured, and who, though the
attempt at crushing her nose was un-
successful, received some serious
wounds ca the head in her attempt to
escape her torturers.-Chieago Times.

LAUGHTER AND WRINKLES.
Curious Observations Made by IA Cievei

Curious Observations Made by IL Clever
London Physician.
A London physician has recently
been making study OF wrinkles. Says
the doctor: ut is customary to say
that wrinkles come from worrying,
but the truth is that most Of them
come from laughing. This is rather
paradoxical. | must admit, but | have
only been convinced after the most
careful investigation. TO know how
to laugh is just as important as TO
know how when to do it. If you
laugh with the sides Of your face tho
skin will work loose in time, and
wrinkles will form in exact accord
ance with what kind of laugh you
have. The man who always wears u
smirk will have d series of semi-cir-
cular wrinkles covering his cheeks.
When a gambler who has been ac-
customed to suppressing his feelings
laughs a deep line forms on each side
of his nose and runs to the upper cor
ner of his mouth. In time this line
extends to the chin and assumes the
shape of a half moon. A ~cadaverous
person with a waxlike skin is very apt
to have two broadly marked wrinkles,
n running up from the jaw and the
other under the eye. These meet at
right angles at the cheek bone and
look as though they formed Il knot at
the apex. The scholars wrinkles
form on his brow. while the scheming
politicians come round his eyes, where
they look for all the world like the
spokes of a wheel. Some of the peo-
pie who bet on races have the most
astonishing crop of wrinkles ever
saw, save on an elephant.'-LondoR

which came near terminating
his life.
The judge opened court in

in the afternoon, accompanied
by his wife, he started to walk
to the court house, but the
long walk was too much for
