KILLED FOR "soRcERER."

Superstition was responsible for q
terrible crime committed recently
among Hungarian peasants at Lau.
senburg. A young farmer named
Maris of Masel murdered an old mar
of the village, named Heyte, with 8
Ratchet, and then surrendered to the
police. He declared that he had
killed Heyte because the latter was 8
sorcerer, and had been paid by his
cousins, who recently lost lawsuit
against him, to do him bodily harm.
Another reputed wizard in the vii.
lage had revealed to Maris that the
epileptic fits from which he suffered
were Heyte's work, and therefore he
felt justified in killing him.

CHARACTER TOLD BY THE EYE
Different Celebrations Must Mean
Something, 10 the Argument Of
Distinguished Scientist.

Professor Punnet, in a recent
work, argues that it is difficult to
believe that the markedly different
eye coloraticns which occur in the
same species are not associated with
deep-seated chemical differences in
fuencing the character and bent OF
the individual. "May not these diff
ferences in pigmentation," he asks,
''be coupled with and SO become in
some measure guide to mental and
temperamental characteristics? In
the national portrait gallery the pic
lures of celebrated men and women
are largely grouped according to
the vocations in which they have
succeeded. The observant will
probably have noticed that there is
a tendency for a given type of eye
color to predominant in some of the
larger groups. 1t is rare to find any
thing but a blue among the soldiers
and sailors, while among the actors,
preachers and orators the dark eye
is predominant, although for the
population as whole it is far scare
er than the light. The facts are
suggestive, and it is not impossible
that research may reveal an init.
mate connection between PECULIAR.

LARGE SUM LONG UNBOUND.

Strange was the discovery made
recently by the owner of a property
situated in the neighborhood of Pau,
France, when, as he was trimming a
hedge by the railway, he picked up a
big pocketbook, which he found to
contain scrip of the value of $41, 900.
On making inquiries, he ascertained
that the owner was a crazy indi.
yidual, who, on his way from an
other town, had thrown the pocket
book out of window of the carriage
in which he was seated, and had
finally been taken into custody at
Pau Station. The madman's pocket.
book had lain in the hedge for more
than a year.

HERoIsM OF EIGHT-YEAR-oLp.

A remarkable story of the heroism
of a boy of eight was told at the Liv-
erpool ENG coroner's court recent
ly. Charles Abbott, who, with his
brother and sisters, resided with his
greataunt at Moss Farm, Walton,
awoke half an hour after going to
bed to find his room full of smoke.
Seeing his greataunt with her cloth
ing on fire, he climbed the banisters
to get buckets of water, which he
promptly poured over her. Then, APP
prehensive of further danger, he
made his way to the bedroom of his
brother, aged four, whom he carried
downstairs on his back, and returned
again for another child aged six.
Unhappily his greataunt died from
shock.

Since my arrival in this country Just

It seems to me that one of the most
prominent is the dance hall. A great

station for the army of the unfortunates.

to ask her to be his wife-he means COM

marriage question is looked at too lightly,

easy enough to stay married, if people do

ties fear publicity and the possibil-
ity of jokes by their friends, and
hlso two or more where the bride
had to have consent - her parents

this week is as follows:
Alonzo Hattenhauer and MISS
