Witchcraft,

"The sixteenth and seventeenth cen
turies," said John Fiske, were the
fourishing ages Of the witchcraft de-
fusion. Witchcraft, in the early ages,
was considered one Of the greatest of
crimes, as much SO as murder, robbery
or any other serious offense against
the law, and the belief in it was shared
by the whole human race until the lat
ter part of the seventeenth century.
"In England, in 1864 two women
were tried before Sir Matthew Hale,
charged with bewitching several girls
and baby, and they were put to
death, for at that time the evidence
seemed perfectly rational. In ,5l5, in
Genoa, 500 people We're burned to
death on the charge of witchcraft. 1t
was the proud boast of noted execu-
toner in northern Italy, at this time,
that in Is yeats he had assisted in
burning 900 persons charged with sor-
Gerry. In Scotland, between 1860 and
1900. 5000 people were put to death,
an average of 200 year. The last
execution for witchcraft in England
took place in 1712, in Scotland in 1922,
in Germany in 1749 and in Spain in
1881"

one Of Moody,s jokes.

D. L. Moody was always full Of fun.
He saw the comic side of things, and
as boy enjoyed putting practical
jokes upon any one whom he well
knew. In the rear of his Uncle Sam
uers retail shoe store in Boston was
cobbler's repair kit-seat, tools, avis.
etc., and the seat was. as usual. piece
of leather concavely shaped downward
at its center.
One day the workman on this saucer
shaped seat felt it becoming uncom-
fortably damp, then really moist He
rose and saw damp spot on the seat.
supposing that a few drops of water
had been accidentally dropped upon the
seat before he sat down to his work,
he folded an old newspaper and placed
it and sat comfortably down to resume
his work But the moisture seemed
strangely persistent. Rising again, he
found the paper becoming soaked with
water, and he stood perplexed, his
hammer in one hand and the soft, wet
paper in the other.
Looking this way and that in his
perplexity, he soon heard a half chuc-
kle, half smoker, which could no longer
be depressed, and there behind the
door was the country boy, learning
how to be useful in a city shoe store,
as he really and rapidly did, but TAX
ing his fun as he went along. He had
placed a shallow dish of water close
up to the underside of the center of
the leather seat, which only touched
the water when the weight of the oc-
cupant was upon it, so three or four
small awl holes served his purpose for
that NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Two Could Do 1t.

Basel, Switzerland, was visited a
few years ago by an adventurous
Frenchman whose ruling passion is the
ascent of mountains stunned by most
other tourists who value at least their
soundness of limb. He tried strenu-
ously to scale the Gopaltenborn, for
the sake of carrying his name upon
the peak. but all his efforts were vain.
The next year he returned to the at
tack, and eventually, by taking many
precautions, arrived at the summit
On his next appearance at the table
d'hote he recounted his exploit to the
company and informed them that he
had planted on the spot blue silk flag
containing his name embroidered in
large characters.
An Englishman, who had listened
silently, rose from the table and
marched out of the hotel. Two days
afterward parcel was delivered to
the adventurous Gaul. He opened it
and found inside his blue silk flag,
which his English neighbor at the table
d'hote had won from the peak by his
own pluck and daring.

Our Endurance.

During life each member of the
human body produces poison to itself.
When this poison accumulates faster
than it can be eliminated. which al
ways occurs unless the muscle has
an interval of rest, then will come
fatigue, which is only another express
sion for toxic infection.
If the muscle is given an interval o,
rest, so that the cell can give off itsN
waste product to keep pace with the
new productions. the muscl1Will then
liberate energy for long Q5he. This
latter condition is what we call en-
durance.
Like any other ponderous and in
tricate machine, the body requires
time to get in harmonious working
order. The brain. nerves, heart and
skeletal muscles must be given some
warning of the work they are expected
to perform. Ignorance of this fact has
broken down many young man who
aspired to honors on the cinder path.
The necessity of getting all the parts
of the body slowly in working order is
well understood by trainers and jockeys
on the race track. as is evinced by the
preliminary warming up they give
their horses, although it is doubtful IL
the trainers could give any physiologic
reason for their custom.-Popular
