AN OLD SUPERSTITION.


Prosecution of a Woman for Possessing
Supernatural Powers.
Here is an instance of superstition in
England as late as 1868. 1t is in a suit
brought against Susan Haynes for pos
sessing supernatural powers:
Anna Sayce deposes that she knowes
the articulate Susan Haynes, now the
wife of William Waters, and saith that
she is a roman of very little credit or
reputation amongst her neighbours;
and doth soc much abuse her neigh
bours, and disturbe their quiet, that
hey will scarce suffer her to come near
them; that she is Il great swearer, and
is accompted a hard-hearted. wicked
woman: and this deponent hath heard
one Margery Hodges say that she
haveing a Cow very sick, did send for
the aforesaid Susan Haynes, and forced
her to say God bless the Cow! and
%hereupon the said Cow recovered and
well within some few howers after.
And in case any person or beast do
fall sick on a suddaine. who is known
to the said Susan's mother, it is usual
to send for her and to force her to say,
pOu DlCSS SuCu pSISou vi DcdSI, anu
the whole neighbourhood doe general
ly believe the said Susan and her moth
er and sister very i'll persons, and
such as are able by their curseing,
swearing and other i'll practices to doe
persons hurt; and especially one Hen
ry Wetton, of Dilwyn aforesaid, being
sick in his bedd, was persuaded that
he could not recover nor depart out of
this life and be eased of his paine I'M
till the aforesaid Susan and her
mother and sister were sent for to
blesse him and to pray for him.
"Whereupon n Richard Phillips, a
punishable, was SEN for them-as this
d~eponent hath been told-and brought
them unto the aforesaid Henry, and
made them desire that God would
either restore him to his health or re-
lease him out of his pain and sickness
by death; and the next day following
the said Henry dyed. The

CARELESS ABOUT THE TEETH.
The Great Majority Are Negligent in Thi,
Important Matter.

The Great Majority Are Negligent In ThIs
Important Matter.
Much has been and will be written
on the care of teeth, because so many
persons do not appreciate these valua-
BILE organs of mastication. If teeth are
we'll cared for and regularly inspected
by the dentist, decay will hardly have
an opportunity to do great harm be-
fore it is stopped. Decay often has its
beginning in bits of food sticking be-
tween the teeth and forming the start
ng point of a diseased tooth.
The toothpick should be used regu-
larly after each meal and after eating.
1t need not necessarily be employed
during a meal or carried like a cigar in
the mouth after eating, but in the
privacy of ones room the quill tooth
pick should search out each corner and
angle between the teeth, and all foreign
matter should be removed, then the
toothbrush should be used, and as the
spaces between the teeth are vertical
in a standing person, SO the toothbrush
should be used up and down rather
than across, so that fresh water may
be scrubbed between each tooth.
The toothbrushes that shed b~ristles
are not desirable articles of the toilet,
for not only are the loose bristles a
great annoyance, but they may ever
work in between the teeth and in the
gums and cause painful points. Such
loose bristles usually come from cheap
brushes or those used for too long a
time.
These injunctions about the care of
the teeth have to be repeated again and
again. because it is such a matter of
every day observance that persons care
full in other matters are careless about
their teeth. AS the teeth are not only
very visible, and when in 4 bad state,
very prominent, but are aids to diges-
ton, and if imperfect may lead to dys-
pepsia and kindred troubles, they
should be scrupuously cared for.-Pop-
ular Health Magazine.

A Few Hints for the Housekeeper Who
Strives to Be Neat.
busting DON is not the simple mat
ter lookers-on think. 1t does not con-
sist in wearing a pretty apron and an
effective cap and waving a feather
buster after the picturesque fashion of
Phyllis in the plays. In fact, a feather
buster is one of the least useful imple-
ments a pima who intends to dust
could find. It merely puts the particles
of dust in circulation in the air, and
after awhile they all settle again on
mantles and mirrors, pianos and chairs,
to discomfort the housewife later when
she finds callers gazing with admira-
ton upon the silvery gray cloud that
is spread over all her furniture.
A dust cloth is the proper thing to
remove dust from all wood and hard
material. A stiff brush should be used
for upholstered furniture. 1t will re-
move dust from plush. tapestry, and
the like, set it moving about in the air
and as smooth surfaces have a greater
attraction for dusc than rough ones. 1t
will settle again on the table and
chairs Then a soft. slightly damp rag
will remove it. 1t is, consequently,
always wise to brush the upholstered
goods first, to allow a minutes inter
mission before busting.
The trials of busting day can be
greatly reduced If the housewife will,
during sweeping, put under cover all
her bric-a-brac and books, and will as
far IS possible protect her upholstered
furniture from dust by covering 1t
with coarse sheets.-N. Y. World.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 18.-The South
err. Pacific company continues to run
passenger trains more or less regularly
during the hours of daylight, but all
night trains are still abandoned. For
the present but one westbound and one
eastbound overland train day will be
run on the Ogden route. Non-union
train crews are not hocking to division
headquarters and this is probably the
reason why SO few freight trains are
being moved. The first fruit train des-
patched tor the East since the strike
was inaugurated was sent out of Sacra-
mento during the morning.
At Sacramento the only exciting Incl
dent Of the day was the despatching Of
a train bearing 60 United States regu-
lars to Dunsmuir on the Oregon
branch. The company's agent at
Dunsmuir reported that the strikers
there were becoming ugly.

Eco HARBoR CRY, n. j., July 49,
There is no end yet to- the forest fires
that have been raging in this vicinity
for the past week. Tuesday an entire
village was wiped out. The flames that
had been sweeping towards Bridgeport
were turned aside by the wind, and
during the early hours of the morning
they reached point near the little
hamlet Of Green bush. The residents,
in the meantime, had driven their live
stock to a place Of sEfety. and when it
became apparent that the village was
doomed they loaded their household ef-
fects into wagons and hurried them
away. Much still remained to be
moved when the flames reached the
houses. The village stood in the little
clearing in the pine belt, and the stacks
Of hay and the dry wooden buildings
proved even better food for the ele-
ments than the woods around. The
villagers had been forced to flee long
before this and are now encamped in 4
clearing some miles away. In addition
to the destruction of this village, many
residences and barns have been de-
stroyed.

M1ssoULA, Mon, July 1S.-An east

the explosion was heard, the shock

cab and mail car. Had the engine
gone fairly over the cartridge the re-
suit would have been more disastrous,
as some eight coaches constituted the
train, which was loaded with troops
and passengers. The strikers denounce
the outrage. There is considerable
feeling here over the return to work Of
some engineers and conductors, and it
is expected that somebody in sympathy
with the strikers adopted this method
of lettering further progress. A tres
tie 100 feet long, thee miles west of
here, and one $50 feet long on the
Occur d'Alene branch, were burned
during the night.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 18.-Bir-

miners on the non-union men and
deputy sheriffs at Pratt mines. The
air has been thick with rumors as to
the, number of killed and injured in the
battle, some reports placing the list of
dead at 10 and the wounded at 100, but
from trustworthy information it is
learned that the list already given is
correct. Six men were killed and
about so were wounded.
The indignation of the citizens at the
outrage reached climax during the
afternoon, when mass meeting was
held to denounce the strikers. Strong
resolutions were adopted and COM
mittee on public safety was appointed
to aid the authorities in bringing the
guilty to Justice. Speeches were made
by prominent citizens denouncing the
strikers as bushwhackers and assassins,

to kill, and if another attack is made
