The Chanselins Child.
The Scientific Explanation of
the Change Formerly At
tributed to the Fairies.

In folk lore stories there Is frequent
mention Of changeiings - children who
were changed by fairy influence Some
loving wife and proud husband found
their child weak Of body, and some
times weak OF mind. II grew up to
be iretful, sullen and perhaps spiteful.
II seemed impossible that love could
bring such child into the world
So the child was called fairy change
ling, a child substituted by the fairies
for one whom in their envy for its lovli.
ness they had carried away.

has been received from Cape Town.

erts' dispatch follows:.

The wounds are as a rule more serious

was going to reinforce French implies
opposition is being encountered ON the
