Spare the Doves.

The turtle doves are great feeders
on the seeds OF weeds, and do much to
protect growing crops from harm
through the ravages of those weeds
on the seeds Of which they feed. The
government biological survey, in con-
Quoting its investigation to determine
tho economic value of these birds,
found in the stomachs of three turtle
doves 23,100 hawkweed seeds, with
tho seeds OF several other kinds Of
weeds which have caused the farmer
inconveniences and expense during a
larger portion of the crop growing
season. These birds are much more
effective as n weed eXterminating
force than an army of men with hoes
and weeders, because the best that
man can do Is 70 keep the weeds in
checks TO a certain extent, while the
seed devoured by the bird is de-
stroyed and prevented from taking
root. II is estimated that the natural
increase of these birds, If they were
allowed to multiply without Interrupt
tion. would save the American farmer
at least $500,OO0,OO0 a year.

FRANCE MAY ExPEL WITCHES
Government 10 After Workers oi
Magic Who Fatten on credulity
Of the Peasants.

M. Cruppl, as minister of Justice is
hard at work attempting to crush the
practice of sorcery in France This
seems curious necessity in the
twentieth century, but 1t is a very
real necessity for all that. French
people, like all Latins, are very super.
stitious, and although most people in
the towns laugh at the thought read
ers and the rest of the tribe even
while they go to consult them, the
wise woman, the witch and workers
of magic. black and white, exist in
the country end practice their arts
with impunity, to their own satisfac-
tion and occasionally to that of their
victims.
A case in n village in Normandy
may be recalled, short while ago,
where an old woman died Of fright
because she had been "bewitched."
She had refused TO give or sell the
witch some eggs because she wanted
them herself The witch made signs
at her and told her she was stricken
dumb. The old woman proved con.
clusively till the witch went away
that she was not dumb just yet at all
events, but that evening she scalded
her tongue badly with her soup; II
swelled little, and she could not
| speak distinctly. This frightened her
so (she was woman of 80 and illit
erate) that she took TO her bed, had
a stroke of paralysis and died a few
days afterward.
At Morlaix last week a worker OF
white magic killed a girl of IS as
surely as though he had shot her
through the head. She suffered from
bronchitis. To cure her the wizard
ordered her to 90 barefoot to the
cemetery collect some earth from o
newly-made grave, strip herself com
pletely, and after finding a spider tC
walk home with the grave earth II
one hand and the spider in the 9th

side her garden gate and to cut hei
finger nails and toe nails with a pail
of rusty scissors before she reenter
cd the house. The girl followed tn,
prescription carefully, and, being IL
before she followed II. she not un
naturally caught another cold ant
