FAMOUS TRIALS
TRIAL OF SALEM WITCHES.

The people of Massachusetts in the seventeenth century, like all other Christian people at that time, at least, with extremely rare individual excep- tions, believed in the reality of a hid eous superstition called "witchcraft." '" In few instances witches were be- heved to have appeared in New Eng land'' in the earlier years, but the cases have been sporadic. With three or four exceptions no person appears to have been punished for witchcraft in Massachusetts nor convicted of it for more than sixty years after the settlement.
 The first real show of the witchcraft the daughter of Samuel Paris, the minister of Salem village, and a niece, began to have strange caprices. The former was a child of nine and the latter IF. In the family of the min ister were two slaves, John and the West Indies. The two children startled the neighborhood by their unaccountabie performances. creeping under tables, assuming strange and painful attitudes and uttering inarti- culate cries. This went on for some of a neighbor also began to aci strangely. The families became dis tressed and the neighbors alarmed
 These children would fall into con- vulsions and utter piercing shrieks At other times they would force theil limbs into grotesque pastures and become incapable of speech and mo- ton. At length 1t was declared that nothing short of witchery was tho trouble. The physicians were per plexed and baffled. and naturally en- couraged by the verdict of physician. and ministers, countenanced by Mir Paris and the church members. these "afiilcted children" as they and some

It was his contribution like that of great many others which provided the kind of service which was necessary for the success of this country in the struggle of the revolution.

USE FOR clrRoN.

Citron when properly used and prepared is so dilicious that it should be introduced for a change more fre- quently.
 Substitute citron in any recipe calling for dried fruit; for a plain cake transformation, white, regular or gingerbread, add one cupful of minced citron, slightly f1oured. Put a small cupfui in the doughnut batter, meas ured after dicing. In your lemon or vanilla icing put a little sugar, sprinkle a little of it shaved on top cake before icing is applied.
 When the vanilla ice cream is nearly frozen, remove the lid and for two quarts drip in one of the large pieces of citron, previously put through the meat grinder; again cover and finish as usual. Citron is delicious in apple sauce and Brown Betty"

A DIFFERENT WAY.

Do you want to be just little dif- ferent. even in so small a thing as buttons? They won't be very prac- tieal buttons-that is, buttons about which are to go real buttonholes- The different buttons are merely for ornamentation. They are sometimes, but not frequently (that is why they are different), seen upon coattails or the cuffs of jackets. and are made to overlap one another, From four to six buttons may be arranged in this man ner. one overlapping the other like a drawn out deck of car6s. This Is a. little imported fad which has not yet become prevalent among our own fashionable set.

HIP YokEs.

In contrast to the bouffant hip draperies are the close fitting yokes, which seem to indicate the advent of skirts wider at the foot A very smart little tailored gown of check lainage-worn with a plain coatee- had this yoke brought down as a pan ell at front and back and kilted side pieces set on; quite an old style re- vived. The same idea is seen in thin ner fabrics, but with three or four lit tie fiounces in place of the kilting, and the yoke and panels of brocade.

PErrIcoArs REVIVED.

The revival of the petticoat, which has entirely disappeared from the fashionable woman's wardrobe is a striking feature of some of the new froeks. But it is a petticoat that makes its presence apparent-not one of the old fashioned sort that was quite content to stay hidden
 The new petticoat is three or four inches longer than the skirt under which it is worn. Sometimes it is made of lace, sometimes of net, some times of striped silk.
