stitions, Only the other day in Dew
onshire village woman was supposed
to have had epilepsy exercised in the
following way: She went to the viii
lage church. accompanied by twenty
nine married men, who left her sitting
silent in the porch while they entered
the building for service. After service
each of the twenty-nine as he passed
out dropped penny in her lap, and
when the churchwarden had made a
similar contribution the thirty pence in
copper were changed by him into a sill
yer half crown, out of which he had

order. If, however, the woman uttered

her house till her return the charm
must fail.-T. P.'s Weekly.
