witchcraft in P.nnsylvani..

Where colonies of immigrants have
remained isolated, retaining the use Of
their own language, the influence Of
witchcraft is more easily traced. The
interior of Pennsylvania affords better
illustrations of this. and on a larger
scale than any other state. 1t has been

brought by a man against his mother in
one of the counties OF Pennsylvania tC

charged her with having killed by witch
craft; and he not only brought suit, but

their experiences in witchcraft, and only
one said that he had never had IL friend
or relative who was bewitched.-Dr.

The "GOld Snake,''

A Mexican superstition, very common
among miners in that country, relates
to the "gold snake" This species of
serpent is perfectly harmless and very
handsome, being green in color and
with a golden iridescence in its scales.
Faith is entertained that wherever a
gold snake makes its hest there is a
ledge containing the precious metal, and
there are many miners who will locate
a claim at onc if they find a gold snake.

Once Honored.

Once before being placed in his tomb
every Partisan may be the recipient of
homage as profound as would be given
to a ~potentate. 1t is when going to his
own funeral. Men ncove their heads

while the hearse is passing. This is true
even of the drivers of tram cars, buses
and drays, and of the maids in white
caps.-New York Sun.
