most fully developed and beautiful OF
any bird known. When it is fully
spread, the top forms perfect elongated
dome Of beautiful shiny blue color
Its shafts radiate in all directions,
reaching in front sometimes even be-
yond and below the tip of the beak, al
most hiding it from view.
Taken altogether, the lot Of the UNI
brella bird is happy one. He lives in
the broad sunshine, he fits about in the
rich and tropical scenery which clothes
the borders of the great Amazon, he has
plenty of food, and, best of all, he has
the enjoyment of space almost without
limit.

There's a little white cottage at the bend OF

Where in summer wisteria blooms,
Where the roses run riot around the abode
And fill with sweet fragrance the rooms,
But the children who live in the little white
lodge
Scent as far as the village with cries
Another aroma, then scamper and dodge
"Hurry upl Mothers making mince piesi"
And up the red serpentine path they will race,
Pink, brcathless, dishoveled the four,
Till great whiffs of molnssos, cloves, citron and
mace
Greet them all at the old kitchen door.
And there, mid scene of brown sugar and
meat,
Mid apples and raisins and salt,
Stands mother, fast trimming the dough def,
As she signs for the hungry to halt
And some feathery gossip has certainly told
The birds in the branches and caves,
For group Of them linger, audacious and
bold,
Pretending to peck at some leaves.
And one little gray priest with the voice of q
thrush,
But two orbs of inquistive size,
Has lit on the mat, and he seems TO say
"Hushl
I've been told mothers making mince piesl'
Not minute too soon for the children who
wait,
And the birds hopping round on the stones,

on his head. This he soon found was

While securing the honey he noticed

THOUGHT Her WITCH
A Sick Woman is Subjected to
Horrible Torture,
And is Finally Burned to Death
by Her Husband.
REL ATIVES ASSIST
They Expected Her to Go Up
the Chimney.
REL ATIVES ASSIST T.

WATERFORD, Ireland, March 27.-A
most extraordinary case of murder,
arising from superstition, was inquired
into yesterday by the special court of
Clonmel, 25 miles from here. Ten per-
sons were arraigned before the court
charged with numbering q woman
named Cleary because they supposed
her to be a witch. The prison
ers included the murdered wom-
ans husband and father. The
evidence showed that Mrs. Cleary
was suffering from nervousness and
bronchitis, and her husband, believing
her to be bewitched and in order to
exercise the evil spell obtained con-
coction from a herbalist of the neigh
borhood. Then, while the other pris-
oners held the unfortunate woman in
bed, her husband forced the obnoxious
connection of herbs down her throat.
After this the suffering woman was
held over fire and dreadfullv burned,
until she declared in the name of God
that she was not Cleary's wife.
This torture was repeated on the
following day, but the woman refused
to conform to her husbands requests,
whereupon he knocked her down,
Sb1ARDCC I'll ACT C1Ob44AG3 DOaICO
paraffin over her body, then lighted it,
and the woman burned to death in the
presence of six male and two female
relatives. Cleary declared that he was
burning a witch, and she would disap-
pear up the chimney.
When the woman was dead the hus-
band collected her charred remains in
a sheet and buried them in dyke be-
h. 81,
a week later. The prisoners, who were
remanded, narrowly escaped lynching
at the hands of the crowd in and about
the court room, and had to be removed
to jail under the escort of a strong
force of constables.
A BURGLAR BADLY BEATS A WOMAN.
BRIDGEToN, N. j., March 27.-Two
masked burglars entered the residence
of the Misses Eliza and Martha Brown,
who reside in Lower Hopewe1l, last
night and demanded their money. The
women protested that they had no
money concealed about the premises.
One of the burglars then beat
Eliza insensib1e with the butt end of
& Is revolver. He then covered both
women with his revolvers while his pal
ransaclxed the house. Finding no

IN FLESH AND BLOOD ONLY.

Anna Dickinson Declines to Acknowledge
Her Sister,.
SCRANTON, Pa, March 27.-Miss Auna
Dickinson. who is suing c. B. Thompson
and others for damages in the Q. S. Cir
cult court for imprisoning her in the
Danville Insane asylum in 1891, has been
on the witness stand for several days, I'M
dergoing cross examination. She was
the most brilliant witness ever on the
stand in this city and by her evasions
baffied the skill of the opposing counsel,
Major Everett Warren
There were many sensational features,
due mostly to Miss Dickinson's marked
peculiarities. The greatest sensation
was caused when she refused to recog-
nize Miss Susan Dickinson. who sat at
the defendants table as her own sister.
She was finally compelled to admit that
she was her own mothers daughter but
they were sisters she said, in flesh and
blood only. The hearing for the defense
will commence today.
