piece of titled land that ever deserved
the name. II is not more than eighty
feet square, yet under the women's ca
pable management its productive ca
pacity seems unlimited. Twenty-Five
square feet of the land is devoted to a
strawberry bed, from which twenty
five gallons of berries were picked
this spring-a gallon to every square
foot Since last May twenty different
kinds of vegetables, and in quantity
sufficient to supply the table for thirty
people during all that time have been
grown-Such as celery, onions, cab
bage, carrots, parsnips lettuce, kale,
and turnips for winter use.
All this has been wrought by women,
the profaning hand of man having no
place in the working economy. There
is but one exception, a young negro
named William who is the only man
about the place. He has been with
Mrs. McWhirter ever since he was a
small boy, and insisted upon following
the Sanctified sisters all the way from
Texas. He does all the heavy outdoor
work and attends to the horse. He is
one of the few of his race who know
how to appreciate a good home. The
Commonwealth has also four fine cows
which provide the family with milk
and butter, while the finest kind of
meets with a ready sale during the
summer. No religious services are held
at the home of the Commonwealth.
Such observances are considered use
less Their mode of life is simple in
the extreme and the sisters strive rath-
er to live righteousness than to preach
it. Mrs. McWhrter says that for
years they have been held up as break
ers of the peace and destroyers of the
happiness of families, but she adds that
they could not be the Christians that
the Bible speaks of without calumny
and that it has been so in all ages
people had to leave their homes and
live in mountains and caves and all
sorts of ways in times long past. Why q?
Because their lives were different from
their neighbours and their family's;
and that brings to pass the words of
Christ, "All men would hate us, our
children would rise up against us and
cause some to be put to death, and
they of our own house would be our
enemies"

POWER OF THE "EVIL EYE"
Strange story Told nj n Trial for
Murder in France.


From the London Chronicle.
The superstitious belief in witchcraft
and sorcery is still far more prevalent
in rural France than would be gener-
ally thought A bricklayer named Me-
rot, living in the village of Saint
George -Moulons, was so firmly
convinced that a neighbor had the "evil
eve" and had cast a spell over him that
one day in April last. goaded into
state of terror, he could bear it no
longer, and beat the presumed sorcerer
to death. Merot was put on trial for
murder to-day.
The accused told the court that what
exasperated him most was the nerve
SCATTERING influence the deceased pos
sessed. The dead man was constantly
producing misfortunes that invariably
befel him as foretold Several times the
prisoner declared the parish priest had
tried to exercise the evil spirit from
his neighbor. but without avail. One
day, when Merot met his victim. the
latter said "Hullo, not dead yet? You
have only one week 10 live" Flesh
and blood, declared the accused, could
stand these predictions no longer and
he there and then,it is said, dispatched
his neighbor.
To show his belief in the Teputed
sorcerer's power was not due TO mere
Imagination, Merot related a number
of Instances which he declared afford
ed proof Of the dead mans uncanny
gifts. Thus one night while in bed, Me-
rot said, he was about to expectorate
on the floor, when the voice Of the
evil genius who could not see, was
heard from without to say PSpit on
the right Of the bed" How then"
asked the accused could he have
known I was about TO SPITE" on sew
eral occasions. asserted the prisoner,
the sorcerer had given him stomach
aches. and twice he had brought on
partial paralysis. He afterwards came
and reveled in his (Merot's) sufferings.
Several villagers of Saint George-sur-
Moulons were called as witnesses, and.
in response 20 the judges question as
to their opinion OF the deceased de-
clared that while they had not "ab-
solute" belief In the Iead mans power
Of evil. they were none too sure that
he had not the evil eye.
The jury were so greatly impressed
by the evident sincerity Of both the
prisoners and his peasant witnesses,
that they eventually brought In a yer.
