Cures For Witchery,

Rev. Joseph DoderiGge in his Notes
Of the Settlement and Indian Wars In
PENNSYLVANIA and Virginia" in that
norton Of the work treating of witch
craft" says: The diseases of children
supposed to be inflicted by witchcraft
were those Of dropsy Of the brain and
the ricketts,. These were diseases which
could neither be accounted for nor
cured. consequently they were ascriDed
to some supernatural agency. For the
cure OF diseases inflicted by witches
the picture Of the supposed witch was
drawn on a stump or piece of board
and shot at with a bullet containing
little blt Of silver. This silver bulle'
transferred a painful and sometimes
mortal spell on that part of the wltcf
corresponding with the part of the pic
ture struck by the bullet"

Whenever any one is released from

tence we read that while he was IL
poor or downright bad health when ne
entered he comes out as hearty as

iails and pcnitentiaries are insanitary'
sunless places, with no facilities FOR
precautions usually taken by those who
wish TO get or keep healthy. The mys-
terry lies in two words-regularity and
diet. The first is perhaps the more
important. Clocklike regularity; eY-

ton Of the fact that the body IS a

Fish Pies In England.

In mcdiaeval England fish pies were
q very favorite dish 1T Christmas time,
and lamprey pies were regarded as a
special luxury. The cost OF such dell
cacies was very great. In 1914 the
sheriff Of Gloucester provided forty
four for the royal table at cost OF
t12 5S. Sd. a sum nearly equivalent 10
100 at the present day. Those taken
from the Severn were especially noted
and il became an annual custom IOi
the city of Gloucester to send Il lam
prey pie TO the king. There is rec
ord of such complimentary presents
