A Bit OF Superstition.

London Answers. One Sunday. few
months ago, an interesting proof Of
this fact was seen In the parish church
OF Sutcombe. I'm north Devon. A
woman who suffered from epilepsy sat
In the porch as the congregation came
out from morning service, and thirty
married men, who at her request had
attended church, passed her one by
one. AS they passed each dropped a
penny in her lap. The thlrtieth took
the pennies aud gave the woman a
half crown, which was TO be made into

ton, you exclaim. Yet another
woman. also martyr to epileptic fits.

IRON MILLS SHUTTING DOWN
The Trade Is Swiftly Adjusting Itself
10 Money Conditions.

New York, Nov. THE Iron Age
says: It is amazing how swiftly the
iron trade Is adjusting itself to the
conditions created by the happenings
In the money market. Plants are shut
ting down right and left, or are re-
ducing output as the result OF a con
sensus OF opinion among makers that
such IS the soundest course. There
seems no disposition to keep running
full by attempting to seize work at the
sacrifice of prices. nor any desire,
even where money conditions permit
of IT, to pile up stocks. A large number
Of furnaces have shut down or are
about TO do so. coke ovens and steel
plants have been stopped partially or
wholly. and rolling mills are reducing
output
Coupled with this movement there
are appearing in increasing number
notices of reduction In wages. rang
Ing from 5 to 10 per cent, and II
seems probable that this action will
become quite general. On the whole
the iron trade Is IN excellent shape.
