The teeth of the people were found
to be healthier and less liable to decay

two protected cruisers of the second
class are being built in this country

Devils In Russia.

Superstition is very rife throughout
Russia and the East, says St. Peters
burg correspondent of the London Tel
egraph. In some parts of Russia the
people believe that devils can enter
into the organism of human beings.
whose actions they thereafter guide,
and there are sorcerers who profess to
be able to cast out the spirits. These
men are utterly without scruple, and
the sufferings which they cause their
victims to undergo may be easily
imagined. Very few cases ever come
before the law courts. The people look
upon the wizard as a powerful person.
age, who can work them much evil,
and, therefore, not lightly to be pro-
voked. Hence complaints are rarely
laid before the tribunals.
A typical story of the sort, however.
recently came before the court of Via
dicaucase. A Mahometan mollah, or
priest, named Ahmed Ramasanoff, was
charged with torturing a peasant wo-
man named Kotcheretova, his object
being to drive devils out of her. At
the beginning of the present year
Kotcheretova, who was only twenty,
fell i'll, her malady being accompanied
by epileptic fits The villagers and
her husband, man named Aslan-Bek,
came to the conclusion that she was
afflicted by evil spirits, and the hus-
hand co1loI he Tr,n11oh Do,
off to cast them out. The priest came
to the house and began his treatment
First of all they made up a big wood
fire, and when there were plenty of hot
ashes they stripped the young woman
and tied her hands and feet Seeing
these ominous preparations, Kotchere-
tova began to cry out, and begged them
to desist. Cut off my arms, put out
my eyes, do what you like, but do not
burn me-" They paid no attention to
her pleadings, and, picking her up,
placed her on the fire. She then be-
came insensible. She was covered with
burns, which the doctor who examined
her declared to be of a very severe
character.
When brought before the court the
priest explained that the woman's hus-
band had sought his advice. He coun-
seled Aslan-Bek to force his wife to
name the spooks, and he (the priest)
would be able to restore her to health
He had put her on the fire until she
gave the names of the evil spirits,
which he then wrote upon a piece of
paper and threw it into the flames,
after which he was quite sure that the
devils would leave her. He added that |
when she cried out before being put on |
the hearth it was not she that wept, |
but the devils. The inquiry showed
that the woman had been kept on hot
ashes for eight hours. The headman
Of the village deposed that such meth
DDS of treatment were often employed,
md were always successful. The court
found the priest guilty, and sentenced
him to deprivation of all his civil
lights and to one years imprisonment.
The husband would have been also
ried, but that his wife declared that
The forgave him.

diseased portion Of the ear There is only one
way to cure deafness. and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the

Though old the thought and oft exprest

I'll try my fortune with the rest.
Life is a leaf of paper white
Wherein each one of us may write
His word or two, and then comes night.
Ito, time and space enough" we cry,
ITO write an epic" so we try
Our nibs upon the edge, and die.
Muse not which way the pen to hold,
Luck hates the slow and loves the bold,
Soon comes the darkness and the cold.
Greatly begin though thou have time
But for line, be that sublime
Not failure, but low aim, is crime.
All, with what lofty hope we came!
But We forget it, dream of fame.
And scrawl, as 1 do here, a name.
