From tho New York World.

shake the American dust from his feet
and take up his residence in France,
where he can raise artichokes with
out government. interference" II know
OF no industry here" he says. that
is free from interference by the gov
erninent. But in France the govern
mont helps the farmer and ell other
business enterprises as WELL
Is the French government really as
good 10 the farmer as our own: There
is an impression that in no other coun-
try is the practical or amateur agri-
culturist the object Of such consider
ate and unremitting attention as is be-
slowed on him by the Department of
Agriculture at Washington. The only
government interference" is OF a be-
nevolenr kind and intended solely for
his uplift and improvement. If he
wants to raise artichokes the depart
advanced literature on the subject. and
his congressman will see that he gets
the seeds. He may obtain the most ex
pert advice on artichoke culture for
the asking, and he may charge for his
crop all the Broadway lobster-pa1ace
traffic will bear. by and with the con-
sent of the commission man.
An American who complains that his
ambition to raise artichokes will be

Witchcraft.
rom the London Chronicle


Though we still believe in witches, we
have at any rate no longer any use for
the witch-finder Our forefathers found
this worthy abundant employment. some
times fetching the real expert enormous
distances to cleanse an afflicted town. In
1919, for instance, the magistrates of New
castle sent into Scotland for one who
could find witches, agreeing to pay 20
shillings head for all that he convicted.
His particular method consisted in prick
ing the suspects with pins. and fifteen old
women were duly executed as the result
of his visit. 1t is pleasing to remember
that the most notorious OF witch finders.
one Hopkins, was finally executed as a
wizard after trial by one of the more
painful OF his own many cleverly devised
tests.
If belief in witchcraft does still lnger
in England no great harm is done by it
But there are countries in which the eX-
ecution of women as witches is only a
thing OF yesterday. For the last instance
of witch burning occurred as recently as
1855 in Peru. and III other parts of South
America cases continued to occur until
well into the second half OF the nine
teenth century. Oar own last conviction
for witchcraft took place at Hereford in
I7lc and Scotland condemned witch
ten years later. while Spain and Germany
retained judicial belief in witches and
the justice of killing them until 17S2 and
1893.
