NORTHERN WITCHES,
In Modern Times Belief In Them Has
Been Quite Common.

In Modern Times Belief In Them Has
Keen Quite Common.
So lately as the middle of this century
q girl of Louisburgh, near Wick, was &C.
cused of being in league with the
"pooers O. mischief" and remedy akin
to that recently practiced with such
tragic results in Ireland was devised.
She was placed in basket. lined with
shavings of wood, which was then hung
over fire. The issue in this case was
not fatal, but the folk averred that she
was not half SO witch-llke" after she
had been singed. A bag of the northern
isles was at times thought to be meta
morphosed into a porpoise. and in fair
weather she would dive under and over
turn fishing boat, against whose skip
per she bore grudge. On one occasion
she was made to place her hand on the
bodies of several men who had met
their death in such a way, and, in the
words of the old chronicler. one "bled
at the collir bane," another lin the
hands and fingers. gushing out bluid
thairat. to the great adMiratione of the
beholders and revelation of the iud1-
ment of the Almychtie."
A host of stories tell of northern
witches who have given diseases TO
horses, oxen and fiocks of moorland
sheep. Herdsmen to this day distrust
unknown persons who touch the food
of their kye, lest it be poisoned. In
Shetland the cat or yaneja is regarded
as an animal which brings good luck:
II she is seen to run toward the boat a
must there is sure to be good catch.
In Chaithness. on the contrary. witches
frequently appear in the form of cats.
A carpenter of Scrabster in the olden
times was systematically robbed of his
meal and cakes. He thought it "cu'na
be cannie," and one night as he watched
he saw a number of cats devouring his
property. In a trice he cut off the right
leg of one of them. whereupon they
made their escape with rapidity which
confirmed his former suspicious. Short
ly afterward an old woman. who had al
ways been looked upon with disfavor,
was found dead in her lone cottage, be-
reft OF her right leg-Scottish Review.

True Form Of the Noon.

You were doubtless taught, as was
the writer, that the moon is globular-
shaped; or. in other words, that its
form is similar to that of the earth.
Accordingsto the teachings of advanced
modern astronomy this is all mistake.
1t is believed nowadays that the moon
is perfect ellipse, it's figure being
nearly exactly one-third longer than
it is broad. This elliptical theory of our
satellites shape is founded on the WELL
known fact that certain side (end.
rather) Of the moon is always present.
ed to our view. This is caused by the
moon revolving once on her axis in ex-
nctly the same period of time that she
revolves around the earth. Her elon-
gated shape was probably caused by
the attraction of the earth when both
planets were young and soft.
