Another economic statement was that
if all the salaries received by the poll
ticians were compared with the value
of the eggs laid every year, it would
be found that there was more money
in hens than in politics.

There are survivals of old-world
superstitions still existing in this coun-
try which, though perhaps harmless,
bring a curious sense of wonder to
rejecting mind. A Pennsylvania
German" whose wife had recently de-
serted him, ascribed her disappearance
solely to witchcraft. The customary
method of procedure among his people
in such cases is to immerse pair of
the delinquent's stockings in a pot Of
water, place the pot upon hot fire and
keep it boiling for twenty-four hours.
This is supposed to be infallible. The
belief is that it will break the spell
under which the woman is laboring,
and will cause her such uneasiness that
she will gladly return home, but will
also inflict dreadful pains upon the
person who had bewitched her. The
husband followed the formula, but the
result is not stated.
