Modern Witchcraft in Salem.

During a recent rainstorm in Salem,
Mass, electricity played some queer
pranks at Porter's market, says the
Portland Transcript. On the roof Of
the building is clothes-line. During
the storm o towel blew from this line
and lodged upon an electric-lighting
wire below. Being wet it wound around
the wire and the electricity passed
through it and shot down into the
ground, where it came in contact
with the water-pipes leading into the
building. .~
Itran along the water pipes, and
the first thing it encountered in the
basement was a pot ofhot lard, which
| was boiling on the stove. The lard
was illuminated and the young man
in charge thought it must be burning
He started to remove it from the
| stove and received q shock that sent
| him against the basement walls.
Pale with fright he rushed upstairs,
where q fellow-workman, noting his
pallor, reached for the water-faucet
to get glass OF water. No sooner had
he touched the faucet than he had oc
casion to pick himself up from fall
| corner ofthe room.
For few moments every thing seemed
turned into IN electric battery. The
nails in the wall became red, eclectric
ity flew from the water-pipes and
flashed around the bands on the wa
ter-pails.
At length some one found the cause
Of the trouble, and the towel was re.
/ moved.

Kind Treatment of Animals

When stock is changed from pasture
to the barns, it is necessary that they
receive extra care. Passing from the
free and pure air with plenty of light
at all times, to barns. which at best are
not perfectly ventilated and lighted, is
a change which cannot always be
made even by the strongest and most
healthy animals without deleterious
effect. Then again, feed and water,
which previous to this transfer has
been accessible at all times, is now al
loted at regular intervals. This is
especially true with regard to the wa
ter, and we often see instances where
stock is only watered once or at most
twice daily. Under such conditions
horses take large quantities of cold
water and on cold days they become
thoroughly chilled. This practice is
not only cruel, but it is far from eco
nomical Animals thus treated re-
quire more feed than if given proper
attention. They do not thrive near
ly so we'll as if allowed to drink when
inclined, or at least three times per
day.

For Without High Hat Of What Use
Is Walking Delegate.
A Dervish journeyed forth to teach
mankind the usefulness of riches, says
Truth. He was scantily clothed in
the filthiest of rags; his head was bare
and on his feet were fragments of SAN
dals. About his neck hung q leathern
scrip with handful OF dates. ..
On the edge OF the desert he met q
Walking Delegate who was on his way
to Mecca to order astrike among the
pilgrims-a non-union hadji having
been permitted to kiss the holy Kaa-
ba.
"Hello, old fellowI" said the Dele
gate. "Where do you buy your gar

II am dressed" answered the Der
wish, cas- beft my vocation, and am

me down or impede my mission"
"So?" replied the Delegate. "sup-

food?"
II have been Injured to hunger from
my youth uo and seldom is the
thought of food uppermost in my
mind. Besides it is the Fast of Rama
dan and it is not lawful to eat"
1.-THE stones of the desert are sharp;
what if we take away your sandals?"
"Behold!" and the Dervish uncover
ed a. foot and exhibited o sole as
tough and leathery as that of cam
Ell.
''But suppose were to strip those
| rags from your back?'
"Sun and simeon have scorched my
back for seventy years and it matters
| little whether it be covered Or not.
And now," continued the Dervish,
"shut your bread-winner and let me
talk. You think your equipment per-
feet, but you are not rugged for long
distance race. A little accident by the
way will rattle you. See me prove

And, grasping his staff, he executed
q flourish and with one swift, clean,
horizontal stroke, he hit the Delegate g
plug hat in the middle and knocked it
ashapeless thing upon, the sand. With
alook ofanguish the Delegate picked up
the wreck. The top was gone, the sides
were caved in and the brim was cnt
across and hung dangling from
| the crown. ..
"There!' said the Dervish. "your
power is gone from you, for what is a
Walking Delegate without plug hat?
/ Oh, Bismillah! Oh, Marshallah: Oh,
Rats! Yah!' and, brandishing his staff,
he drove the Delegate forthl and as
the burning Syrian sun rose higher in
the sky, their vanishing forms passed
over the line of the horizon, the
Delegate ahead, with the Dervish a
good second about two jumps behind.

great injustice is done the lady help.
She AYERS that the average servant
girl on leaving place. Invariably
conveys to her new mistress a great
amount of information as to the do
nestle life and eccentricit1es of the
family lately employing her. emitting
nothing that she can possibly think of.
Some OF this may be true and some of
it may not be perfectly accurate, but
tits all entertaining, and the system
enables the ladies of a. community to
know just what is going on in every
home. Yet no credit is ever given
the poor girl for what she knows.
