TO-DAY, CHARGED WITH DISOR-
DERBY CONDUCT.
The greater part of the time at this
mornings Municipal Court session was
consumed in hearing the case of four
boys, charged by the sixteenth district
officers with disorderly conduct.
The boys in question were James

some months past residents Of Gilpin

annoyed by a crowd Of half-grown boys
who congregate in that vicinity and
throw stones and other missiles at
passersby. Numerous complaints have
been received by the police, which re-
suited in the arrest of the boys men
toned
The specific charge Of disorderly con-
duct was the result of the actions of
he boys on Friday night last, although
general charge was held against
them. On the night in question Malloy,
Dougherty and keenan,, in company
with three other boys, procured an old
wagon belonging to and used by John
BOggs, of Tenth and DUPONT streets

ging it about the streets broke one OF
the shafts. At this mornings court
Sergeant Black and Officers Mcbride
and MeAteer testified to the character
of the crowd Of boys, and of the re-
lpeated complaints they had received
of their actions. The parents of the
boys had been warned to keep them
away from corners at night, but it ap-
lparently had no effect.
Keenan, and Dougherty testified that
although LenhOff sometimes ran with
the gang" that he was not present on
Friday night last. He was fined 81 anc
costs, while the remaining three re.
lceived s. and costs. Keenan, and Nal.

WRINKLES CAUSED
BY LAUGHING.

just how wrinkles are formed and
how they are to be avoided are themes
of special interest to the beauty seek
er, and the lesson was supposed to
have been thoroughly mastered when
it was understood that all worry must
be avoided, and one must keep happy
and contented and fairly bubbling over
with mirth, in order to develop the IA
cial expression that promotes beauty.
Now comes the death blow to this the
ory in newer knowledge as to how
wrinkles are formed. Laugh and
grow fat" seemed distressing enough
to those who are watching anxiously
the development of surplus flesh, but
now comes new rendering of an old
adage. Laugh and grow wrinkled."
Not pleasant reading, is it? Neverthe-
less, it is logical one, says the Pui1a-
delphia North american. The wrinkles
CT the nose, which descend from the
nostrils down each side of the mouth,
are created in laughing. A simple
smile is sufficient to produce them, so
it is not surprising that repetition of
one of the commonest acts should in
time become firmly craven on the
face
But this is not the only manner in
which wrinkles are commonly formed.
Going in the sun with the face INSULT
ciently covered produces wrinkles pre-
maturely. Vertical wrinkles between
the eyes come very quickly to those
who study or worry. The arched wrin-
kles of the forehead, found above the
root of the nose, tell Of long mental
torture. The wrinkles of the cheek and
chin follow the oval of the face, and
are caused by the diminution of the
fatty substance under the skin,. which
then falls into folds. The small wrin.
kles which forms net work in the
lower parts of the cheeks near the ears
have the same origin, and only appear
in old age. Those found in the
upper eyelids, and sometimes in the
lower, which give the eyes an air of
fatigue, are the results of hard living,
grief or worry.

NJ MARLBOROUGH, A MD, friday NOVE> BIER 1899

which has always been house of the
witches and warlocks, lived two old
women, Elizabeth Southerne and Ann
Whittle known as Mother Demdike
and Mother Chattox), who, with their
families, earned a precarious living by
begging and fortune telling. A brisk
rlvarly was carried on between the
two factions, each doing its best to lay
claim to the greater number of occult
achievements. In 1912 these witch
crafts attracted the notice of neigh
boring magistrate, Roger NOVEL;, who
arrested two old women, and sent
them with others to the Lancashire as
sizes, there to await their triul. Dur
their absence, an alleged unholy meet
ing of their relatives, at Malkin Tower,
in the Forest of Pendle, was made an
excuse for further arrests, and after
an elaborate trial, some fifteen persons
were executed. Poor old Demdike,
blind, and over 80, escaped her punish
meats by dying in prison. The con-
victions rested mainly on the malicious
evidence of Janet Device, old Dem.
dike's nine year granddauG Ghter. We
are told that when she stood up in
court to bear evidence against Eliza
beth Device, her own mother. "Her
mother ouerageously cursing,
cryed out against the chyld in such a
feareful manner, as all the court did
not a little wonder at her. x"
Of little use was her cursing. In that
age of superstitious cruelty, witch,
once accused, having no chance of cs-
cape, however outrageously absurd
might be the evidence adduced
against her. In the trial of Lanca-
shire witches in 1884, the accuser,
boy named Edmund Robinson, confess
ed, after the conviction of his victims,
that his statements had been pure in
ventions. 1t seems probable that the
Janet Davis mentioned in this trial as
an accused witch is identical with
Janet Device, the malicious child-accus-
er Of 1912.
