How to Keep Witches AWAY.

There are a great many people whom l
know, both white and %colorcl, who never
go to bed on a windy night without first
sprinkling salt around their beds. This
keeps the witches u Another protec-
ton is to set up a knife, fork and spoon at
the head of the bed, and then, so say the
sufferers, one can see the witch that visits
II and tell exactly who it is. Placing
bent pins in the track of a reputed witch is
another method of proving withcraft. If
upon returning in the same tracks she
limps, then the pins have struck home in
their uncanny mission, and she is a witch.

NEW COLLECTING CRAZE.
A Maineac Who Has Secured Historical
 Buttons by the BusheL

A Maineac Who Has Secured Historical
 Buttons by the BusheL
 People get curious fads, says writer in the Pittsburgh Dispatch. I met a man from Maine, who had travelled all over the world, He had not made a collection of spoons, stamps, auto- graphs, photographs, TOT any of the things that are usually collected by travellers. He had digressed from the beaten paths and started new fad, which seems as sensible as at least the postage-stamp craze. He has a collec- tion of buttons, hundreds of them, of all sorts, shapes and designs, buttons from police, fremen, constabulary and soldiery of all countries, cities and towns, as well as buttons from the clothes of famous men. Each but ton had history and long one, too, as told by the Yankee, so I did not wait to hear much about them. But he had taken the button, surely.
 It may not be long until the button cranks may become prevalent, and the great men of the land will not be py iCihCouo ioA autographs, but it will be: Twill you kindly send me button from one of your suits?" The prospect of the statesmen of these great United States having to resort to hooks and eyes in self-defense after having been deprived of all their buttons to appease the de- mands of this coming army of cranks may cause some little joy in the hearts of those who have been wearily watch ing triumphant tomfoolery in con- gress. The predicaments which this new craze might cause are endless We might imagine an overobliging celebrity being forced to keep to his room by thoughtlessly gratifying those who fattered his vanity by the asking. No matter how the craze may affect the victims, it is sure to boom the button industry.
