Witchcraft and sorcery are abroad
again in the old-world Franconia,
where seventeenth century home
steads harbor still so many medieval
survivals. A musician named Scher=

Upper Franconia. recently demanded
judicial protection against his fellow
villagers, who accused him of being a
master of witchcraft, in league with
the powers of darkness, and finally
caused him to be feared and boycotted
throughout the district. Bailiff ELL

obliged to admit that when Scherbel

the butter so that it went sour. The
whole village kept out of ScherbeIs

Wild Beasts Fall in Love, Marry

Four Forms of Marriage In a World
Where Bachelors and Spinsters Are
Very Rare ouaIities-some
Facts From Scientists.

Surprising though the statement
may seem, it is a fact borne out by
the careful study of scientists. that
practically every form of marriage
contract known to men, from free
love to the soul mate theory, can be
found in the animal world, says Lon.
don Tit-Bits. Male animals even have
their bachelor clubs, and that wonder
full naturalist, Ernest Thompson Sc.
ton, has related how little societies
of animals are established among
deer and antelopes Thesis societies
usually consist of three or tour young
bucks who range and feed together in
perfect friendship. They are quite
happy. and never quarrel or fight un.
til some lady intrudes. But once a
doe joins the herd, goodby to peace.
The brothers fight among themselves,
while the doe looks on and enjoys
the sport, until one of them drives off
the others and goes away with her.
There are four distinct forms OF
marriage among homogeneous animals.
The first closely resembles the trial
marriage, and is the type represented
by the mouse. The male selects a
mate, and is faithful to her as long
as she pleases him, and when she no
longer charms, he promptly divorces
her and finds another mate.
The second type of animal marriage
is that which lasts during the breed.

their mates again next season, but
among rats, rabbits and squirrels the
separation is permanent, although
among foxes, coyotes and smaller ami.
mails. the father, who presumably
hates the worries of domestic life, usu-
ally stays away until the children
have been reared, and then returns.
The third type of animal marriage is
that common among wild geese, pig.
cons and possibly owls. The union
lasts through life, and If one of the
pair dies the other never seeks a sec
ond mate, but mourns disconsolately
until death.
The fourth type of marriage Is the
nearest approach to the ideal married
life, and, curiously enough, is found
most commonly among wolves. Wolves
marry for life, and only the death OF
one leaves the other free to marry
again. Furthermore, there is even a
genuine display of chivalry and af
lection between such animals. 1t is
recorded that two wolves in the Lon
don zoo were very jealous of each
other, and frequently quarreled. One
day, during an unusually furious dis
pute the male approached the female
furiously as If to bite her, but just as
he reached her he stopped as If held
back by something within him. The fe
male then approached timidly, licked
his face, and domestic happiness was
once more restored

Berlin.-The trip to Africa which

1t is understood that the reason for

to the crown prince interrupting his

by such long absence. Another rea-

that the imperial parliament would re-
fuse an appropriation to cover the ex'
penses of such a trip.
