His Undolng.

To find a more ingenious chap
You'd have TO search the town.
Why, no could set the s~tovepipcs up
Az fast ~ they fell down.
Among the minor stunts he did.
All with the utmost ease,
TO mention only Just a few.
His friends remember these:
lie mended all the faucets
For sevcral blocks around:
He nAed the bells and buZzers
When they refused 10 sound:
lie regulated watches and he
TiAkcred up the clocks;
He soldercd leaking coffee pots
And set 10. rights the locks.
The bicycles he dOctored,
From broken back 10 rim;
To start a balky motor car
Was only play for him:
But one day his wifc's eggbeater
Went badly out Of whack--
They took him 10 . bughouse
And he never has come back.

In lie Gauiois for July 10 NJ. AIcIDE EsRAY,
late Consul General Of France in New York
makes public the reasons for his with
drawal from the diplomatic service. IL is
gratifying to learn that these are related
solely with the politics Of his country, his
disagreement with the policy Of the Foreign
Ministers and particularly the awkward posi-
ton in which any representative Of France
is placed through the nti-Catholic measures
adopted by M. CLEMRNcEAU's Government.

The Vanishinc Trick

Into the groceT's shop walked an an c1ent lady with slow and haltin. tread and carrying on her arm haS. ket containing q large carthenwaTe pot with q lid. Placing the basket on the counter, she made various purchases. which she put carefully in the pot. and had her bill made out
 By the way" she said before paying this "do you mind keeping this pot with the purchases in it until I como back and pay for them, as have to buy other things some distance of. and it will he more convenient for me to leave the things here till later?'
 This request was willingly accedcd to, and. lifting the pot carefully out of the basket, the old dame placed it. with an effort, in a corner; then. plac ing her basket on her arm, left the shop. Hours went by, day ripened into evening, and evening gave way to night, but the old woman did not return. At last the proprietor thought of examining the earthenware pot to see If by any chance 1t had it's owners address upon it. and great was his as tonishment not untinged with dis may, to find that 1t possessed no bot tom.-London Answers.

Witcheraft in tho Nineteenth Century.

Witcheraft in the Nineteenth Century.
 Most people believe that witchcraft among civilized people ended when the "Salem witch mania" ran its course and died out in the year 1892. It did as far as America is concerned, except among savages but in other countries the belief !n the superstition did not die until q much later date, even if 1t can be truly said to be dead now. In France an old beggar was tortured to death as late as 1897 on the charge of being one who "communed with evil spirits" and in Spain witch was burned in 1908. In 1850 in France a man and his wife tortured suspected witch to death, and nothing at all was done with them by the criminal courts on account of the lingering belief in sorcery. Four years later witch was drowned in England, and in 1860 one was burned in Mexico. In 1874, 1S7a 1880 and again in 1889 witches were publicly burned in Russia and even as late as 1890 regular judicial trials of witches were had in Prussia, Po land and Austria Hungary.

Hoped He Wouldn't Grow,

A well known member of parliamen: was addressing an agricultural meet. ing in the south of England and in the course of his remarks expressed the opinion that farmers do not sufficiently vary their crops and make mistake in always sowing wheat.
 One of the audience opposed to hnn in politics asked him what crops ho would recommend
 Everything in turn,' he replied
 Well said his interlocutor, "it swedes don't come up. what thent'
 "Sow mustard" said the M. r.
 And if mustard doesn't come up, what then?''
 And so he went on through whole list of crops until. the M. P.'s patience being exhausted, he put an end to his questioning amid roars of laughter by saying:
 "Oh, SOW yourself, and hope you won't come up."
