 Such case is the one quoted by GoleridSe of young woman in Ger many who could neither read nor write, but who was said to be possessed of devil because, in a fever she was heard favinS in Latin, Greek and in an ob- scure rabbinical dialect of Hebrew Whole pages of her talk were written down and were found to consist of sentences intclli9ible in themselves. but not having the slightest connection with one another. To say that she was possessed of a devil was the easiest way of accounting for the matter.
 At last the mystery was cleared up by physician, who traced back the girls history until he learned that at the age of nine she was taken to live at the house of an old pastor, great Hebrew scholar, and that she remain ed there until the pastors death. It had been for years the old mans GUS tom to walk up and down a passage near the kitchen and read to himself in loud voice.
 His books were examined and among them many of the passages taken down at the young woman,s bedside were identified. The theory of demoniAcal possession was abandoned. - Youths Companion.

On the occasion of giving concert Mime. Sala engaged Paganini at a fee of 50 guineas, says the Golden Penny The next day she repaired to the vio- linist's house and handed him the sum in gold, the sight of which filled the great player with such violent emotion that he plunged his fingers among the bright pieces, which he poured over his arms and hands as though they were water. Despite this display of avarice, however, he returned the fee to Mme. Sala.
