BLACK ART IN INDIA.
The Leading Imp Is Small, but Mean
Out of All Proportion.

Out OF All Froportion.
1t may not be generally known
that the black art hourishes to a
certain extent in southern India, es-
pecially on the west coast.
The average Malayalee Keralan
is superstitious to the very highest
degree. He considers himself to be
always under. the influence Of some
devil or other (the number of devils
and demigods on the west coast is
legion), and every house in Kerala
has temple dedicated to the patron
devil of the family.
In this country the place of honor
is given by the superstitious Ma
layalee to the imp Kuttichathen,
who is considered by him to be the
most mischievous and frightful OF
demons. This imp is about three
feet high, with hair all over the
body and capable of any mischief
He is the most dreaded of all and
manifests his displeasure in thou
sand ways.
Primarily he begins with throw
ing stones over the house of a man
under his displeasure. If steps are
not taken Immediately after the
preliminary stages Of the manifesta-
ton Of his displeasure it is said the
consequences generally are very VIC
lent.
It is said that every sorcerer has
q devil or demigod under his COM
mand to do his wishes and carry out
his commands. To get the mastery
over devil or. demigod, it is said
one has to undergo severe trials
Keeping vigils, necessarily uttering
the name Of the devil or the demi-
god he wishes to subdue, in crema-
tories and lonely jungles, is the
primary duty of man who aspires
to become sOrcerer.
On the forty-frst day of the vigil
the devil will present himself to the
candidate who aspires to take the
degree of honors in sorcery and sur
render himself to the latter, A sor-
cerer who has already one devil at
his command generally aspires to
exercise sovereignty over another.
This can only be enjoyed after q
great trouble. 1t is said that the
demon whom the sorcerer wishes to
captivate will generally ask the can
didate to fetch inaccessible and I'M
possible things as proof that he is
sincere and capable of doing any
thing. They say that such candi.
dates generally meet their demand
through the aid of the devil already
under command.-Indian World.

HEADS SHAPED TO ORDER.
German Doctor Explains Causes OF
Various Formations.

At q recent convention of German
raturalists and doctors DR.. Watcher,
Of Stuttgart, in an instructive paper
put forth a sensational theory to ex-
plain the formation of the shape OF
the head of infants. He maintained
that the head of a child could be
nodded artificially. He found by ex-
perience that when a medium-shaped
head is placed in soft cushion the
child turns on it's back, or rests on the
back of it's head, in order to free
mouth, nose and face. In this manner
the head rests smoothly, and a snort
head is developed. But if the medium
shaped head of a child is placed on
hard under-rest, like a hair mattress
or rolled carpet, the child's head
turns aside, as 1t cannot stand any
more on it's head than an egg, for the
muscle Of the back is weakened.
Therefore, with continued resting on
the side long head is developed. To
prove his assertions the lecturer pre-
sented a child whose mother and sis
ter are short-headed. The child at its
birth had a short head, now after 18
months it is long skulled. If the child
had been placed on its back, according
to other experiences it's head would
have been short-shaped. DR.. Watcher
did not deny that the shape of the
head was inherited, but asserted that
it could be greatly influenced by the
way the child rested.

It Is a White Elephant.

Kinds county has something very
like white elephant on hand IN the
shape of the traction road working ma
chine which was secured some time ago.
The machine has done good work where
the Typographical and other natural
surface conditions permitted, and has
proven to be an economy where condl-
tions are favorable to its operation, but
it has proven costly in other ways, as
several broken and weakened bridges
which it passed have had to be rebuilt
at considerable cost, to say nothing or
frequent stoppage for repairs. At a
recent session of the board of super
visors two extraordinary claims were
presented which arose as result OF the
operation of the road worker. One OF
these was for 50 for hauling coal for
the engine, distance of several miles,
and another was for 1923 damages to Ia
acres of hay and 20 fence posts set on
fire by sparks from the road engine,
and burned ND"

French Presidents "DoubIe,~

M. Fallieres was, until recently, be-
lieved to be the only president Of tho
French republic who had no double,
but his counterpart has been found.
The man who most resembles him
physically is a respectable merchant
of the Rue Saint Honore, who plays
his part with decorum and dignity. He
wears exactly the same kind Of blue
butterfly necktie with white dots as
the president, the same kind Of hat
and exactly SO oddly cut beard. And
on his promenades he is always ac-
companied by friend who could cas-
lily be taken for the presidents pri-
vate secretary. Dignified and with
measured steps, the enviable double
walks through the Faubourg Saint
Honore and feels overjoyed at being
saluted on all sides.

COSTLY PRESSURE.
Heart and Nerves Fail on Coffee.

A resident of a great western state
puts the case regarding stimulants
with a comprehensive brevity that is
admirable. He says:
Il am Sc years old and have had con-
siderable experience with stimulants.
They are all alike-a mortgage on re-
served energy at ruinous interest. AS
the whip stimulates but does not
strengthen the horse, SO do stimulants
act upon the human system. Feeling
this way, I gave up coffee and all
other stimulants and began the use of
Postum Food coffee some months ago.
The beneficial results have been ap-
parent from the first. The rheumatism
that I used to suffer from has left me.
I sleep sounder, my nerves are stead
