When standing before u looking glass

height. Generally the right Is higher
than the left, The reason for this un.
evenness lies in the way one sits. You
get into a comfortable chair at your
desk. and at once you rest your right
elbow ON the arm OF your chair o.
your desk. thus throwing one shoulder
higher than the other. This is especial.

ACCUSED AS A WITCH.

Jane wenham was indicted at the
Hertfordshlre assizes on March 4. fTl2.
for "conversing with the devil In the
form of cat" under the provisions Of
the act OF 1904. repealed In 1876. Her
prosecutors wished to have her also
indicted for practicing wltchcraft TO
the harm of Ann Thorn, servant girl
sixteen years old. but this was not
allowed. although evidence was pro-
duced at the trial to show what injury
had been done the victim by means of
crooked pins and by placing cakes and
eats hairs In Ann Thorn's pillow and
how the prisoner had caused the death
OF some cattle simply by walking
through turnip field.
The jury brought her in guilty"
and SIR. Justice Powell passed sen.
tence OF death. but took steps to quash
the verdict. Wenham's prosecutors
published an account of the case, but
their arguments were pulyerized by
scientific men. Jane Wenham herself
was liberated and taken under the
protection of Colonel Plummer. who
gave her a cottage. and we are told
by DR.. Hutchinson that 10 i120 the
