In some of the country districts of England the peasants are said to be- lieve that elves and witches steal babies from their cradles and place their own elfn offspring ill the place of the robust child. After a child is baptized the witches and fairies have no power over it. Hence the peasants have their little ones baptized as soon as possible.

 The Beggars of Italy.
 Bicycling Through the Dolomites, ' in The Century, is an account of Colonel George E. Warnings European trip. Concerning mendicancy in Italy, Col onel Waring writes: Perhaps there is no better index to the good or bad con- dition of the working people of coun- try than is afforded by the number of beggars one meets on the roads. The poles set up at the border of Austria, with their spiral stripes of yellow and black, do not mark the line between it and Italy much more clearly than does the advent of the beggar the moment the line is crossed. In Austrian Tyrol there are virtually no beggars. On the Italian side, even we'll dressed people in the fields will leave their work to beg coppers from the passing traveller.
 One day, ill the upper Innthal, cou- pie of bright looking, rosy faced ohil- dren ran after us, asking for kreutzers. "Maw knix" upbraided them for such shameful act, and they skunk away. He spoke of this with much indignation to neighbor, who said their whole fam fly were away in the fields at work, or they would not have dared to beg, and that he would see that they were well spanked when their mother came home at night. Nuns and few favored crip- | ples sometimes ask aims at the doors of the churches in the larger towns, and the poor box is always found inside, but the peasantry and the churches take care of their own poor, so that the vice of beggary is unknown among them.
 In Italy, on the other hand, it is Ob vious that special conditions of deform- ity are artifcially produced. Both legs broken and badly reset in childhood constitute good source of income for life, and anything that appeals to sym pathy is made the occasion for cultivat- ing very mistaken and mischievous charity.

No ono ever neared Constantinople witllouG being struck by it's marvellous beauty. Mrs Max Muller, in ''Letters From Constantinople, thus describes it:
 ''Under all lights and at all hours the view of Constantinople from the Marlnora is unique in loyeliness. The gul.tIo outlines of tho low hills, the va ried colors, the magnificent buildings form a whole, combining in one the beauties of Stockholm, Venice and the bay of Naples. When lit up by sun shine, the varieties of color arc dazzling. The eye rests on mosque after mosque, with their snow white minarets, in sharp contrast to the almost black cy- presses that mark the small, unused burial grounds surrounding each mosque or the vast cities of the dead at Scutari, beyond Pera, and outside the old city walls. TLo roofs of most Turkish houses are a rich brown, while large plane trees, with their bright green leaves, stand ill every garden, and over all is a sky so blue that after a sojourn of sev- eral weeks one longs for the contrast of English clouds.
