Malice and Superstition.

In the middle ages malice and super
stition found expression in the forma-
tion of wax images of hated persons,
into the bodies of which long pins were
stuck. Itwas confidently believed that
in that way deadly injury would be
done to the person represented. This
belief and practice continued down to
the seventeenth century. The super
stitiOn indeed still holds its place in
the highlands of Scotland, "where, +"
says well informed writer, within
the last few years a clay model of an
enemy was found in stream, having
been placed there in the belief that as
the clay washed away so would the
health of the hated one decline. New
York Journal.

A Murderer's Light Sentence.

During the cholera scare in Vienna
some months ago a rule was made for
bidding persons visiting restaurants TO
squeeze small rolls on the tables to test
their freshness. One day an army cap
tain went TO one table after another,
handling the bread before he selected a
roll. A master baker, also a visitor,
spoke to him aboutit The captain gave
naughty answer, waited for the baker
outside and stabbed him. The victim
died instantly.
The bakers death caused a great
commotion. The funeral was attended
by many thousands and proved that the
peoples sympathies were with him.
Now the officer has been sentenced to
six months arrest in barracks, and he
will be permitted to keep his rank when

HE is TURNING WHITE.
A Negro In the st. Louis Dispensary Who
Is Undergoing Remarkable Change.

A Negro In the st. Louis Dispensary Who
Is Undergoing a Remarkable Change.
There was rare case the other day
at the city dispensary in the person of
a middle aged cOlOred man who drifted
into st. Louis from Newport, Ark. His
name was Isaiah Johnson, and he said
he bad been employed as farmland
down in Arkansas ever since he was a
boy. He was possessed of a powerful
frame, and there was nothing in his
physical appearance to denote that he
was a sick man.
"What is the matter?" asked DR..
Hough as the man sat down in the pa
TENTS chair.
Oats what l want to find out, doc
tor. I'ze come all the way from New
port to see what's comm Ober my hide.
/ saw doctor down thar, and he said
he looked ober and read up 81 books,
and he doan' find any case like mine. -
He then went on to tell DR.. Hough
that he had white patches all over
his body, and he believed he was going
to turn into a leopard. He was taken
into the consultation room and told to
strip. DR.. Priest was called in and
the case pronounced one of leucoderma.
There were about eight spots on the
mans chest and stomach varying in
size from , to 6 inches in diameter.
One-half of the back of each hand was
white, and the legs from the knee down
were entirely so, with the exception of
two or three black splotches on each
calf. There were also patches of white
skin on the upper part Of the legs, the
thighs and back. His face had not yet
begun to turn. His original skin was a
dark coffee brown color, and he had
long hair ON his head and full growth
of whiskers.
Johnson said he had noticed white
spots on his hands about year ago, but
paid no attention to them. Then large
spot developed on each side of his chest,
which was followed by two on his legs.
So it continued until he became alarmed
and consulted doctor. The man has
no money, though he is physically able
to do any kind of work. DR.. Homan
says the chances are that if he lives
long enough he will become entirely
white. The cases are very rare, there
being not more than one in every 10, 900
negroes who become afflicted with it,

THE MISHICOTT MYSTERY.

Family Receives Large Sum of Money
and a Fine Watch From an Unknown.
Some mysterious person is playing
the role Ct Santa Claus for a family at
Mishicott, Wis. The gifts take the form
of large sums of money, as much as
$4,000 having been received at one
time, and watches, jewelry and other
costly articles. In the early part of
October of last year stranger appeared
in the village and inquired regarding
the Hallberg family residing there,
claiming to be a Mr.. Harms and to rep
resent a brother of the Hallbergs who
had left his home about 80 years ago to
seek his fortune in California, and of
whom the family had never since heard.
Before leaving the stranger promised to

Prince Henry's Yacht.

Prince Henry Of Battenberg is bitten
BY the yacht racing mania, and Mr..
Watson, the well known designer of the
Valkyrie and the Britannia, has re-
.eived orders TO ''-rcafe' a fast running
craft for Prince Henry which will
break the record of all former occasions.
Hanson, who is building this coming
wonder, has received orders to push for
ward with the work as quickly as pos
ible, which looks as if Prince Henry
was anxious to measure swords, or ships
rather, with foemen worthy of his steel,
or pianks. Herald.

STATESMEN WORRIED.

A Great Question Which Is Agitating the
British House of Commons.
The great question whether walters
ought to be tipped is just now agitating
the house of commons good deal more
than the fight with the lords over the
employers liability and parish councils
bills, of which, truth to tell, everybody
is getting a bit tired. But the tip ques-
tion affects the private pockets of the
honorable members, and their interest
in it is consequently keen. 1t has al
ways been the rule in the commons that
the walters in the dining rooms should
not receive tips because living wages
are paid to them, but of late years tip
ping has pretty generally prevailed,
and the men learned to expect tips as
much as though they were common cafe
walters. A goodly proportion of the
members, however, refused to counte
nance the system, with the result that
they have of late found themselves neg
lected. Recently there have been so
many complaints that the kitchen COM
mlttee sOlemnly appointed subcommit-
tee to inquire, and the result was the
issuing of an order prohibiting walters
from receiving tips and granting to
each waiter an increase of shilling a
day. The walters calmly pocket the
shilling, but continue to take the tips
whenever they get chance, and it has
become question what shall be done
with the honorable and right honorable
gentlemen who thus defy committees
and subcommittees.-New York Sun s
London Letter.
