Looking back ten years to the law of
1885. when but 10000 persons were covered
py the law, 1t is very encouraging now to
see Ihat IL mas extended its protection over
4o.Oo persons, in spite of the open and Sc
cret hostility and jeers of it's enemies. He
said there was no reason to be discoura god
and that they should direct themselves now
to the extension of the reform in all direc-
TONS. Ihere has been tendency of late
to concentrate the spoils system to the nm
protected departments, and the municipal
service in this city has been naturally af-
fected thereby. That service ought to be
under the civil service, and it was his i'm
preston that the civil service law could be
SO extended by the action of the President.
He advised that an effort be made in that
direction and also for the extension of the
law to the ravy yards and arsenals Two

Diseases That We're Supposed to Be
Caused by Wi tches.
Rev. Joseph Doderidge, in his
s.Notes of the Settlement and Indian
Wars in Pennsylvania and Virginia. ~
in that portion of the work treating of
''Witchcraft," says (page 1857:
1.-The diseases of children supposed
to be inflicted by witchcraft were those
of dropsy of the brain and the ricketts,.
There were diseases which could
neither be accounted for nor cured,
consequently they were ascribed to
some supernatural agency. For the
cure of disease inflicted by the witches,
the picture of the supposed witch was
drawn on stump, or piece of board,
and shot at with a bullet containing a
little bit of silver. This silver bullet
transferred painful and sometimes
mortal spell on that part of the witch
corresponding with the part of the
picture struck by the bullet :"
In his treatise on Medicine" pp.
LAT to 154 of the same work, the Rev.
Mr.. Doderidge has to say concerning
erysipelas and its cure: THE erysip-
elias. or st. Anthony's fire. was usually
cured by circumscribing the afflicted
parts with the blood of a black cat.
Hence there was scarcely black cat
to be seen whose ears and tail had not
been frequently cropped for their con-
tribution of blood."-St. Louis Re-

and then sacrifice it on the grave.
Beggars are an organized guild in
China They abound everywhere, and
in the north their only garment, if any,
is a battered sheepskin. In Shanghai
and in many other places in China the
crows build and raise their broods in
the trees of the city. On account of
the Buddhist reverence for all life, no
one harms them. The junks, whether
at sea or on the river, are perpetual
