STILL BELIEVE WiTCHCRAFT
In Most Prosa.c Communities There
Are Many Who Show Conf
dence in Belief.

Every once in awhile comes testimony
20 belief in witchcraft lingering in the
most prosaically modern communities,
SAYS the Boston Transcript. Among the
charges on which clergyman has been
expelled from the profession by court
OF the Evangelical Synod at Vincennes,
Ind, is ,hat he possessed a book on
witchcraft" This charge is grouped
with some which laymen will unhesi-
tatingly pronounce serious. The pos
session of book on witchcraft is not
usually considered unclerical, and the
suggestion is that the synod must either
have held the dismissed clergyman
something of an adept, or have regard
ed the work as dangerous to the COM
munity. II the latter explanation Is
the correct one, then the extent Of su-
perstition in and around Vincennes,
Ind. must be surprising and afford
very fruitful ground for the seeds Of
delusion. In any event 1t Is difficult to
believe that a synod would regard 4
purely historical work on witchcraft
as barred from q clergyman's library,
and 1t Is reasonable to suppose that II
was a volume on "the black art" which
at least might work mischief II 1t fell

wyLE's ISLAND STATUE.
Antique Specimen Of Sculpture ir
Wiltshire, Eng, That Has
Haxy History.

English people cling to their tradi-
tions and antiquities long after they
have ceased to possess any definite in
terest. One Of the curios Of Wiltshire
is q statue in the middle Of river a.
Wyle, says the New York Herald. Upon
q pedestal near bridge is statue OF
the conductor of a coach blowing upon
his horn. The statue bears every mark
Of antiquity; indeed, 1t Ia 30 old that
no one knows Just exactly what 1t Is
intended to commemorate, although
there IL an unverified legend that 1t is
intended to keep In mind the memory
Of some accident occurring at that point.
According to some, the bridge was
wrecked and many we're saved through
the brave efforts of the conductor, while
according to other accounts the bridge
went down in food and all we're lost in
the angry waters. No matter what the
original intention was, 1t possesses a
modern interest Is being the only
statue erected In the middle of river,
and as such is regarded with more than
local interest. Several times 1t has
been found necessary to make repairs
to the pedestal, and the money has been
cheerfully provided, the town realizing
the value Of this relic Of the past.

Sea Anemones Make an Attractive
Exhibit in the New York
AQUARIUM.

As fine a sea anemone as the AQuar-
ium has ever had from local waters
is now on view, says the New York
Sun Of recent date. It was fished up
lately from the ocean bottom on the
Jersey coast by an angler on one Of
the fishing steamers that 60 out daily
from this city. There was brought up
with 1t a little boulder Of Ave or six
pounds weight, to which the anemone
had attached itself.
This sea anemone, which Is Of deep
and bright salmon pink In color, with
tentacles Of q lighter tint, would mea-
sure distended about six inches In
height with Its top and bottom disks
each about Ave inches in diameter,
while in spread Of tentacles 1t would
measure from six to eight inches. 1t
is big as we'll as fine specimen.
There has lately been received at
the Aquarium lot of smaller sea an
emones, such as are found in great
numbers on the rocks in the waters
hereabouts, and which may be gather
ed at low tide. This lot was brought
from City island.
These smaller sea anemones from
City island are shown In the same
tank with the big one fished up from
the ocean bottom, making altogether
an attractive little spring exhibition
of these curious and wonderful animal
flowers.

Sir Joshua was born at piympton four
miles from Plymouth. in Devonshire,
England, in 1923, says st. Nicholas
His father, rector Of the grammar
school, early trained him in classical
studies, intending his son to be an
apothecary, but he displayed such an
inclination for drawing diligently copy
ing the prints which fell in his way,
that the father yielded and sent him to
London as a student of art. After two
years he returned to Devonshire and
established himself as portrait paint
er in Plymouth. where he was taken up
by Commodore Keppel, who. being ap-
pointed to the Mediterranean station
invited the young painter to accompany
him in his ship the Centurion. Thus he
was able to visit Rome. spending two
years there in very close study. especial
ly of the works OF Raphael and Michel

It was while painting in the corridors
Of the Vatican that he contracted cold
which brought on the deafness that af

Leaving Rome. he visited Parma, where

TIME WHEN HORSES DANCE
Historical Instances Of Terpsichorsan
Performance Of Tie
Equinee.

There is an ancient Roman lamp
among the treasures Of the Louvre In
Paris. and on this lamp is a picture
of morse that is being taught to stand
on his hind legs. The Roman horse
trainer is using q formida BILE looking
whip. says the Chicago Daily News.
The dancing horse figures in that med
ley OF ancient learning, the "Deipno
sophists. or Banquet Of the Learned"
Of Athenaeus. Athenaeus tells that
the Sybarites had carried their luxury
to such pitch that they had taught
even their horses to dance at their
feasts to the music Of the lutte" But
disaster came of this effeminate horse
training For the Crotonians, being at
war with the Sybarites, and knowing
the air to which the Sybarite horses
were accustomed to dance. played the
same melody on the battlefield, land as
soon as the horses heard them playing
on the flute they not only began to
dance. but ran over to the army Of the
Crotonians, carrying their riders with
them"
Dancing cavalry horses appear again,
in greater detail. in the Annals Of
Charon OF Lampsacus," likewise quot
ed by Athenaeus. Charon says that the
general Of the army Of a people named
Bisatae lived. as q boy. in slavery
among the Car!ans; there he learned
that the Cardian horses were taught to
dance at feasts to the music Of the
flute. standing on their hind feet and
dancing with their fore feet in time
to the airs which they had been taught.
So when war broke out the general Of
the Bisatae, secured a Cardian female
flute player. who instructed his own
his own musicians
When the ffute players OF the general
of the Bisatae were sufficiently trained
In the music of the Cardians, he gave
battle. ordering them to play the airs
which they had learned and which the
horses OF the. Cardians knew. "And
when the horses heard the hute they
stood I'D on their hind feet and took to
dancing. Rd the main strength Of the
Cardians was in their cavalry, and 90
they we're conquered"

TWO GREAT CANALS.
COMPARISON OF PANAMA AND
sUEz CHANNELS.
Former Route Is an Unknown Factor
While Latter Has Acquainted
Itself with World--Pros-
pect on Isthmus.


A writer in one of the magazines
goes into comparison of the Panama
and Suez routes in regard to the fu-
ture development of trade over the two
interoceanic highways. The subject is
one into which conjecture largely en-
ters, and must be considered with due
reserve on that point. But the Suez
record Is known and, In itself, is an en-
couragement for ship canals. 1t was
the great success of the Suez canal as
q financial and marine enterprise that
induced the Fre4oh h people to invest an
immense sum In the Panama project,
and though the work broke down on
account of bad management. together
with increasing estimates Of cost. the
wreck was net total, the United States
paying $40000.000 for what remained
Of 1t. Probably the French would have
carried the canal through but for the
peculation and big rake-offs that de-
stroyed the confidence of the thrifty
French masses. The Suez canal. dug
through en- almost level expanse Of
sandy territory. is 100 miles long and
cost $100,000.000. Its gross annual
revenue at present is over $4,000 900.
and its net earnings are II per cent.
made In the face of the fact that it's
charges have been reduced from time
to time
Fourteen times as much tonnage
passes through the Suez canal as used
Its facilities In 1871. II saves Europe
5000 miles in reaching the far east,
and England 5000 miles in the pas
sage to Bombay. Its utilities are Q
simple question In economies includ-
Ing competitive commerce. To some
extent the Panama canal will give Eu-
rope q choice of routes and this part
OF the problem must be left to time.
BY way OF Panama the water route
between New York and San Francisco
will be shortened 5000 miles, and q
corresponding saving will be afforded
gulf ports. Other Pacific harbors will
be brought nearer in q like ratio. The
west coast Of South Africa will b9

EMPIRE STATE LEADS
NEW YORK HAS 100 FREE DE-
LIVERY OFFICES.
Bigger Postal Service in That Section
Than Entire Country Had 80
Years Ago-other Inter-
esting Statistics.

A statement issued by the post ofiice
department, at Washington, showing
the cost of the free delivery service In
the larger cities, the number Of car
riers employed and the comparative In
creases bring out some interesting
statistics.
Taking the service by states, New
York heads the list with 100 free de-
livery post Offices, which is more than
there we're in the whole United States
80 years ago. Pennsylvania comes
next with "a Offices. then Ohio, with
%; Massachusetts,, with 20; Illinois,
with Sc; Indiana, with 5S; New Jersey,
with So; Michigan, with SO, and Iowa,
with 45.
The total number of city free de-
livery Offices on January 1, 1905. was
1.104. Bearing in mind that the re-
quirements Of free delivery are that the
city shall have at least 10000 popula-
ton, or $4,000 gross postal receipts,
that its streets must be paved, and
houses numbered, this indicates how
great has been the development Of the
country since the service started In
1864, when there we're only 66 cities
complying with these conditions.
In area served, Chicago takes first
rank with 1872 square miles Of terri
tory, covered by 1877 letter-carrlers.
New York, with Brooklyn combined.
has 1923 square miles Of territory,
served by 1904 carriers, an increase OF
12s since January, 1904. Philadelphia
has exactly the same area as New
York and Brooklyn, but has fewer car
riers. 1.l47, an increase Of 40 during
the past year. Boston has 95 square
miles and 957 carriers, an increase OF
80. Cincinnati has IS square miles and
2Oi carriers, . very slight increase.
Baltimore has not increased its car
rier service probably on account OF
the FIRE. It has 357 carriers, covering
an area Of 156 square miles. Washing
ton Tor the District of Columbia), once
known % 1.-THE city of magnificent dis
tances," .stil has 4S9 square miles OF
territory served by 259 carriers. This
is only four square miles less than New
Orleans which city, however, gets along
with oifiy i2S carriers. It has q greater
area than indianapolis, which has 81
square miles and 1T carriers; greater
than Minneapolis, 3s square miles, 1s6
carriers; than 81. Paul, 43 square miles,
i43 carriers; or than Buffalo, - square

service Of 43 square miles and only q
carriers, but It's postal receipts measure
up we'll, amounting to $110,306, making

Pennsylvania. the birthplace Of our
postal system, has the distinction Of
having the two most costly free delivery
ofices. Nanticoke, with four carriers
whose pay amounts to 55.18 per cent. OF
the gross receipts, and Plymouth. with
s.x carriers. costing 54.12 per cent. of the
gross receipts. Each Of these cities &C.
quired the free delivery service by rea,

census, OF 10000 or upwards. The gross
postal receipts in both cases fall far be.
