when the immigrants had been settled in their new homes gave Kitty Mac Allister-such was her name-a tenn porary lodging until the chief citizens should decide what to do with her, fol the older persons felt it necessary to get rid of her. She was an odd crea- ture On the voyage she had acquir- ed the name of Stormy Petrel, so hap py was she when the wind put white caps on the water and shrieked in the rigging. Before the voyage was end ed several of the women who had grown sons whispered among them selves that she might be witch.
 If this meant that she had bewitch- ed the young men 1t was the truth, for they were as anxious that she should remain with them as the older ones were that she should go else where. But when the young fellows began to quarrel over her it was de- cided that something must be done. Then the mother of one of those who had been bewitched went to the mag istrate and made the following affi- davit:
 During the voyage to America Katherine MacAllister when a storm ragged went out on to the forecastle and. hanging on to the jib halyards, told the storm to wreck the ship. As soon as the said Katherine MacAllis- ter had spoken the words a great blast threw the vessel on her beam ends, and she was only righted by the pray CTS of pious persons in the cabin.
 And this deponent- further states that since the landing she the depo- nenD went one moonlight night to the shore and saw the said Katherine MacAllister sailing on the water in a sieve"
 Upon this affidavit Katherine was arrested while chasing butterflies and lodged in jail, or. rather, since there was no jaii in the settlement, she was placed in the keeping of Deacon Pad elford. he being chosen for her jailer since he had no sons for her to be- witch. Then court was convened to try her.
 There were q judge. jury, lawyers, witnesses-indeed, all the officials and others pertaining to court just as courts are organized today. And be- fore this court Katherine MacAllister was tried on the accusation in accord an e with the specifications laid down ill the affidavit mentioned and was convicted of being witch.

A Salem Witch She Was a Bonnie Lass
 From Scotland.
By SARAH BAXTER

One night a coach was driven upon a dock in the Firth of Forth in Scot land. A man alighted and called upon a girl to follow him.
 "What are you going to do with meT' she asked.
 "Comev' was his only reply.
 The girl reluctantly got out of the coach. The man forcibly drew her arm through his and took her on board a ship lying beside the dock. She had been taught by rough usage that 1t would be useless to resist, and she ac- companied the man passiveIy across the deck and down the cOmpanionway to the cabin. There he left her and, go- ing on deck, approached the captain, who was giving orders for preparations to sail.
 Here is E2O," he said, counting out the money, flor her passage. Take her her therc."
 "Is she to be turned over to any oneY'
 Leave her there"
 With this the speaker produced q bag opened it sufficiently to show that 1t was filled with gold pieces and hand ed it to the captain. The latter took it, thrust it in his pocket, and he who had given 1t left the ship and was driven away.
 Early the next morning the crew cast off from the dock and sailed out into the ocean.
 "Who is the wench" was asked on the arrival of the ship at Salem.
 "A Scotch lassie," replied a wo- man, "whO was on the ship with us she who feared not the storm when it came, but stood out on the foredeck and talked to it." : "And to whom does she belOng?"
 ''To no one. Some one sent her away to get rid of her"
 ''The lassie must go back in the ship. It is not meant that one so young should be among us without a guard tan," said the people.
 But the lassie did not go back ill the ship because the captain would not take her. One of the women

Cynics was the name applied to a school of philosophers founded by An tisthenes. a pupil of Socrates. The main tenet of the extreme cynics was that civilization is a curse. and true happiness can be Obtained only by gratifying the most primary physical appttites which man has in common with brutes. The general attitude of the cynics as distinguished from that of the stoics. who regarded everything in the external world with indiffer- ence. was one of contempt They were not an important philosophical school numerically. but attracted attention largely by their eccentricities and inSo- lence. On account of their contempt for refinement their name came sullse- quently to be applied to any one who takes n mean view of human life.

SCIENTIFIC LECTURE
BY DIR. R. LEIGH

Wednesday afternoon at o'clock
DR.. Rufus Leigh, Instructor in Ply
siology and Hygiene at the B. A. c.,
and formerly Instructor in clinical
Dentistry at the University of Michi-
gan, delivered highly instructive
and edifying lecture before the ladies
of the Housekeepers' Conference, in
the College auditorium. on the sub
ject of Oral Hygiene of Children. DR..
Leigh is an enthusiast along this line
and does not confine his services with
in the narrow limits Of his Office, but
takes pride in rendering social service
at every opportunity.
The subject was handled under four
divisions viz:
Anatomy of the human jaws and
mouth.
Physiology or Function Of the Den
tai Mechanism.
PATHOLOGY or Depraved Condition
of the mouth cavity.
Measures to prevent depraved con-
dition of tissues.
The first two headings were given
terse and concise review, the most
time being spent on the depraved con-
dition of the mouth cavity and its pre-
vention.
In this connection he discussed the
dire results of the loss of the dental
mechanism on the digestion of foods
and consequently the nutrition of the
body; and also discussed at some
length the fact of general systemic
infection from and through the oral
cavity, asserting that large percen-
tage of such diseases as pneumonia,
la grippe, tuberculosis, diphtheria and
others have their focus of infection
in depraved condition of the mouth.
DR.. Leigh claimed that upwards of
ninety percent of the public school
children had defective teeth, this
having been ascertained by dental
inspection in various schools. A great
social service is being rendered by
the school board in many cities along
| the line of the inspection and care Of
the mouth of the children. This
wave of oral hygiene has just
reached this state.
n The last division of his lecture con
sisted in the means and methods Of thu
prevention of tooth decay. He ex
: planned the proper use of the tootl
/ brush, and stated that this article an,
a plentiful supply of pure water will
do wonders in the transformation o
: the hygienic condition of the mouth
: bringing about all the good result
! of being able to masticate properl,
D inhibit the spread of infection, etc
r At the close Of the lecture Miss Nc
Cheyne announced that a practics
demonstration on the arrangement @
the home would be made by Pro.
Randall Jones who was present an
= would make his own arrangements.
II Prof. Jones gave short talk o
different styles Of architecture an
Invited all to visit several buildings
:, the vicinity, where comments an
Suggestions would be made.

Witness Demonstration at
S. A. Halterman's Big Well.

Through the invitation Of S. A..
Halterman, about twenty persons
went down to his farm about four
miles northwest of Parowan to wit
ness the operation of his new centri-
fugal pump recently installed.
The pump is run by twelve h. p.
gasoline engine, and throws out be-
tween seven and eight hundred gal
Ions of water per minute, filling 6
inch pipe.
Mr.. Halterman is very enthusiastic
over the success of his experiment
which demonstrates beyond doubt just
what can be accomplished in the rec.
lamation Of the vast acreage Of farm
land in our valley.
