modest, hardy people, who supplement
the scanty harvest of their stony
fields with the finny harvest of the
sea. They live in onestory stoutiy-

stones slung from ropes to prevent
their being blown away by the fre-

PROTECTION AGAINST A WITCH
Law Invoked to Keep Woman From
Supernatural Detective Work.

Supernatural Detective Work.
Once or twice year some extraor-
dinary piece Of evidence finds its way
into the papers of the survival Of the
most primitive forms of witchcraft,
and Of the belief in the same, in parts
of Ireland.
AS a rule these cases transpire when
the law Is broken by persons ill-treat-
ing the supposed witch, as when last
year an unfortunate woman was held
on the fire to drive an evil spirit out
of her.
But the last few days have shown a
novel case, in which the protection OF
the law was invoked to protect certain
persons against a witch.
An old Irish peasant woman had suf.
fered from the theft of small sum
of money. Being unable to discover
the thief or thieves, she had made a
straw, image, dressed it up, stuck Il
full Of pins, and placed it on a bier.
and proceeded to hold wake" or
funeral party over it, She then de-
clared that her intention was to bury
this image, with suitable inyocations.
with the certain result that as the
straw of which it was made decayea
away SO would the body of the thief
waste and dwindle.
Certain of the neighbors (possibly
with guilty consciences) asked that the
police might stop this experiment in
witcbcraft, as it gave them great un-
eashess.
