is perhaps more general than any other,
and an excongressman tells of case in

which a witch was killed in very
strange fashion. A negro called on

was told that the cause of the trouble
was witch and that she must be kill

the witch's heart. The shooting was
duly done in the presence Of quite a

Curious whims are occasionally shown
By readers at the Public library. There
was a woman who regularly every Fri
day came for a volume of sermons. She
did not mind whose sermons, r.ur what
the subject, SO long as they Were reli-
gious discourses of some sort. Monday
she would come back, return the ser
mcrs and take out a novel to unbend
her mind until the next Friday, when
the sermons would again be in demand.
There was another woman who would
never read anything bu: religious
novel, as she called it, not such one
as Ben Hur' or one with particular
religious tenet to inculcate, but book
with clergyman as its chief character.
Swinburne's Heavenly Arcana'
was read daily for years by an eccen-
tric old gentleman. He would draw
the book. keep it two weeks, return 1t
with his place marked and call early
the next morning TO take it out again.
He never took any other book from the
library, and finally died, leaving his
place marked as usual. There is one
old man who will never read a book
written by a woman. He reads good
books continually, but will have moth
ing to do with volume bearing a wo-
mans name as its author. Boston

The internal temperature Of trees
has been observed for some time past
by NJ. Prinz of Uccle, in Belgium,
who finds their mean annual tenn
perature at the heart of the trunk
the same as that of the air, but the
mean monthly temperature of the
trees sometimes differs from the lat
ter by or degrees centigrade. On
certain days the difference in ques
ton may be as much as 10 degrees
centigrade In very cold weather
the internal temperature falls to a
few tenths of a degree below the
freezing point and then remains sta
tionary. In very hot weather the
temperature of the tree stays at Is
degrees centigrade or thereabout. A
large tree is therefore cooler in hot
weather and warmer in cold weather
than the air. London Globe.

ed up to Judge Moore a big bundle of
indictments.
"Thc defendants are not in custody"
said District-Attorney Eidgway. who

Put those papers out of sight was
the order given by the Court to Clerk
York.
The Grand Jury then fled ont OF the

In accordance with the custom. Judge
Moore will not allow the indictments to
be given out until the person or persons
against whom they stand are arrested.

Newton agreed to resign Immediate

There is some speculation as to the
charges made in the new Indictments.
1t Is believed that Sutherland Ia indicted
on several separat charges Of stuf1ng

felonies, punishable by fine and impris-
