Witchcraft in Italy.

A shocking case Of superstition al
Verona is reported. A girl in the
service of Prof. Negri attracted the af-
fections of a peasant in the neighbo-
hood, and encouraged him a while, but
afterwards declined his attentions. The
youth exhibited symptoms of madness,
and was transferred to a lunatic asy-
lum. His family, convinced that the
maiden had bewitched their boy, held
a solemn conclave. They then re-
quested the girl to call at the family
dwelling on an affair of urgency. The
girl complied, taking the precaution OF
asking a female friend to accompany
her. After a most amiable reception
the aged mother of the bad boy got
the girls companion away on a clever
pretext, and invited the supposed
young witch to the upper floor, where
the family gathering awaiting her ar.
rival, and, with the object Of inducing
the unhappy girl to break the spell
over her former lover, tortured her
in ways too barbarous and revolving
to be described. When rescued the girl
was a mass of wounds from head to
foot, sad mad through fear.

"REMINISCENCES OF WAR.
Lasting Impression Made Upon 6
Soldiers Memory by Il Poor
Child's Cheap Toy.

A German officer is quoted in tho
London outlook as telling this story
of a Renaissance connected with the
triumphal entry of the German army
into Paris. 1t was a magnificent spec
tacle. Four uhlans were riding ahead
and the band was playing S%chubert's
wonderful march. Yet in memory the
German officer confessed that through
the blare of trumpets and beating OF
drums he heard one lesser sound which
made his heart sicken over the dreary
pathos of a
ft recalled to him one night after n
German victory, when four French
prisoners, all noblemen, were on the.:H
way to Paris under escort. They
stopped at a deserted wine-shop near
a deserted hamlet, and grew quite
cheerful owe the prospect Of supper.
A prince was greasing the pan, and
the uhlans were standing by, laugh
ing, although they would have Drained
him had he made three steps toward
the door.
Suddenly there was a sound from
without, as if some one, walking leis-
urely, was kicking a tin can along
before him.
The officer picked up a torch and
took it to the door. 1t showed a broad
strip of road spread with puddles and
dashed by rain. Outside that circle
was the darkness of the pit filled with
the kissing of the storm. The sound
of the can drew nearer. Then out of
the darl and across the torchlit strip
of road passed a group of specters, as
a company passes in review.
First came two women, n young
the other very old. Each carried a
bundle on her back. They were of the
poorest order of tenantry, and their
faces were blank with deep despair.
After them came a man in wooden
shoes leading a goat. Behind him was
a very old man, leading a child. The
child was crying and dragging along
a tin can tied to a string.
And so ever after, when the onlook-
ing officer thought of wars magnifi-
cent parades, he heard the sound OF
the wretched child's pathetic toy.

PARROT TAUGHT TO THINK.
How Reasoning Power Was Deve1-
Oped in II Highly Intelligent
Bird in Paris.

M. PIERRE Hschet Souplet, writing in
the Paris Press on the intelligence of
birds and animals, relates a remarkable
accomplishment on the part of a par
rot. He admits that the bird was an
exceptionally clever specimen. and he
considers its achievement indicates the
high water mark of psychical possibil-
tiles as far as parrots are concerned.
He had taught Polly to use the words
cupboard" and ladder" and as he
climbed the ladder he had succeeded in
inducing the bird to a%rticulate the word
Climb" Every day when the bird was
brought into the laboratory a small cup
board was opened and Polly helped her
self to hempseed. One day, however. in
stead of the cupboard being placed where
she could reach it, it was hauled up near
the ceiling, and the ladder was placed
among several other articles in the cor
ner of the room.
The question to be decided was wheth-
err the bird, seeing that the cupboard was
out of M. Hachet tSouplet's reach, would
have suficie1t intelligence to use words
1t knew in their proper sequence. The
first days experiment was a failure. The
,arrot screeohed Cupboard" Cup
,oard," beating its wings and biting the
bars of its cage in anger, but it got no
farther. That day the bird received mil
let, which it did not care for; the
hempseed, which it was very fond of,
being locked up in the cupboard.
Next day Polly was in a greater tenn
per than ever, and after a desperate eff
fort to break through the bars Of her
cage, she finally caught sight of the cup
board near the ceiling. Instantly came
the words: "Ladder-climb-cupboard,"
and, Polly having learned her lesson,
the cupboard was brought down, and
she wa rewarded with some hempseed.
M. Hachet Souplet looked upon this
incident as a proof of the association Of
ideas in the birds mind, as no one had
W taught the parrot the phrase she
created.

TOO MANY
There Are More of the Fish i'm North-
ern Minnesota Than the
Fishers Want.

In many parts of the country the
pickerel is regarded as a valuable fish.
In the neighborhood of the Woman's
Lake chain in northern Minnesota,
however, it is oisliked by residents and
visitors alike, says a report from that
section.
The trouble with it is that the WIS.,
itors are all fishing for muskallonge
and the pickerel is too plentiful. 1t
bothers them by getting on their
hooks and fighting hard only to show
up as a pickerel at the end OF the fray.
There is nc known reaso for the
enormous numbers of pickerel in the
Woman's Lake chain. 1t would seem
that the lakes got a stock of them
from the Mississippi many years ago
and they found the conditions favor
able and have multiplied tremen-
dously.
Sometimes an angler who would as
soon catch a pickerel as a muskallonge
If it fights rs hard, keeps a score of
his take in a day, and some of these
scores seem incredible. A man may
catch five pickerel in a day without
exciting establishment, he may even
take ten. If he should take Is he
would be regarded as a remarkable
angler. When it comes to taking from
20 to 30 pickerel, big and little, in a
day while fishing hard for something
else, all pr%econceived notions of pick
erel angling go by the board, yet that
score has been equaled and beaten
more times than once in the Woman's
Lake waters.
Indeed, those waters are not excep.
tional. Pickerel are wonderfully
plentiful in all of the chains of north
ern Minnesota. Just what a scientific
pickerel angler could do with approved
pickerel bait, Suffering in the weeds
morning and evening, and fishing deep
during the heat of an August day, re-
pains to be seen. 1t has never been
tried, but probably he would be get
ting on and taking off pickerel most

RELIEF FOR STORE WORKERS.
Large Department Concern in Chi.
cage Gives Them Respite
Every Two Hours.

do you know that in every we'll
dozens of employees who have to be re.
lieved about once in two hours? That
brief respite of 20 minutes, OF even less
is all that stands between them and
nervous prostration - or something
worse. There is nothing that will af-
feet the mind as soon as deadly mo-
notony. There is such an employe
now"
The superintendent of the store point
ed to a colored nan who was stationed
at the head of the escalator, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
do you see how %nervously he PAGES
the little strip between the moving
stairway and the next counter? Those
are his boundary lines, and he has alb
s~olutely nothing to do but watch that
shoppers coming up those stairs do not
trip, turn dizzy and meet with some ac-
cident which would reflect on the stores
management. The stairs are perfectly
safe, but they affect some people unac-
quainted with them badly.
"Now, if the man were selling goods,
or taking care of stock, or cleaning and
busting, the limit placed on his move
mehts would not get on his nerves. You
PROBABLY think that the ever-changing
tide of shoppers would afford him some
entertainment, but in time all shoppers
look alike to him. When he is relieved,
the employee who comes to his rescue
will stand quietly enough. because he
has been on duty at another post for
the past 20 minutes, and does not have
time at any one place to become nervous
from the monotony. But almost invar-
iably the employe who has been on duty
for two hours or more begins to pace
the floor just before the relief arrives,
for all the world like a lion or tiger at
the ZOO, knowing that the feeding time
is at hand.
Among the employees thus relieved are
the elevator men and telephone girls. I
do not know that every store has the
same relief system, as we pride our
selves on an organization that is almost
military, but some attempt at relief is
made by every management making a
p~retense to modern methods of organiza-
ton"

THE ARROWHEAD.

Deep Graded in the forest clay,
Long lost, it snugly slept away
While winter, summer, passed it Ger
Through twice a hundred years, or more;
While saplings into oaks upreared:
While rood by rood the land was cleared;
Till glancing from the paleface's pillow
1t walked to meet the world of Now
And on my sturdy desk 1t lies,
A dereiict, in mute surprise.
Where vanished is the em'rald shade?
The aisles of the primeval glade?
The deer's shrill snort, the turkeys call?
The moccasin, the copper face,
The war-whoop, and the striped grimace?
~Perchance, could but thy tale be told,
Some wrinkled arrow-maker, old,
Another Minnehaha's sire,
Close crouching by his wigwam fire,
With patient labor, chip by chip
Slow wrought ~thee-barb, and edge, and
tip;
And striding over trunk and brook
A Hiawatha came-and took.
The mind may paint, but cannot give
The breath to make its figures live.
Gone are the hands that shaped thee SO;
Gone Is the warrior and his bow;
Gone is the quarry and the oak;
Gone are the wild, red forest-folk-
Like their own bolts forever sped;
Gone all thy world, o arrowhead.
