Hoped He Wouldn't Grow.

a well known member of parliament
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 n mistake
in always sowing wheat.
One of the audience opposed to him
in politics asked him what crops he
would recommend.
Everything in turn he replied.
'Wcll." said his interlocutor, 'if
sWedes don't come up, what then"
"Sow mustard" said the NJ. p.
"Arl If mustard doesn't come up,
what then:'
And so he went on through whole
list Of crops until, the NJ. P.'s patience
being exhausted he put an end to his
questioning amid roars of laughter by
saying:
"Oh. SOW yourself, and I hope you
won't come up"

witohcraft In the Nineteenth Century.

Most people believe that witchcraft
among civilized people ended when the
"Salem witch mania" ran it's course
and died out in the year 1852. 1t did
as far as America is concerned, except
among savages, but in other countries
the belief in the superstition did not
die until a much later date, even if it
can be truly said to be dead now. In
France an old beggar was tortured TO
death as late as 1907 on the charge of
being one who "communed with evil
spirits" and in Spain witch was
burned in 1905 In 1850 in France Il
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 a witch was
drowned in England, and in 1860 one
was burned in Mexico. In 1874, 1879,
1880 and again in 1889 witches were
pnblicly burned in Russia, and even
as late as 1890 regular judicial trials
of witches were had in Prussia, Po-
