Three Witches Of Belvoir.

Here are their names: Anne Ba-
ker, Jeane Willimott, Ellen Greene.
And, above ALL here Is the name of
their cat, "Rutterkin." Fer by means
of Rutterkin they entered, said they,
into communion with familiar spirits.
These three witches, who lived in
1913, were the confidential servants of
the earl of Rutland at Belvoir castle,
England. They had grudge-tOday
we should say "grOuch"-against the
earl and determined upon revenge.
They managed to pluck hair from
the head of member of the family,
and they burned 1t. for Ill luck. They
securely made off with the glove of
the earl and rubbed 1t on the back of
Rutterkin to call down bodily harm
on the gloves owner. They were be-
lIeved to have accomplished the death
of the earl's son, through frightening
the boy, and they were tried at Lin
coin, condemned. and burned at the
stake for the crime of "witchcraft."
At that era the question of witch
craft" was stalking through the world.

HOLD TO OLD SUGGESTIONS
People of Labrador, inheriting Strange
Beliefs, Have Retained Full
Faith In Them.

The superstitiOns still found among
the people of Labrador are attribute
able to the remoteness of the country
from the current Of the worlds
thought, the natural tendency of sea-
faring people, and the fact that the
days when the forbears of these fish,
ermen left "Merrie England" to seek
living by the harvest Of the sea, and
finally settling on these rocky shores,
were those when witches and hob
COLLINS and charms and amuIets were
accepted beliefs, says Or. Grenfell In
"A Labrador Doctor"
Nevertheless, today, as q medical
man, one Is startled to see fOx's Or a

ways twist the way from which the
wind is going to blow. One man had
q barometer Of this kind hanging from
his roof and explained that the pc
culiar fact was due to the nature of
the animals, which in life always went
to the windward Of others; but If you
had u seals head similarly suspended,
it would turn from the wind, owing to
the timid character of that creature.
Moreover, 1t surprises one to be as.
sured, on the irrefutable and quite
unquestioned authority of 'Old Aunt
Anne Sweetapple,' that aged cats al
ways become playful before gale of

There is II great belief in fairies on
the coast. A man came to ne once to
cure what he was determined to believe
was balsam on his babys nose. The
birthmark to him resembled that tree.
More than one had given currency If
not credence to the belief that the
reason why the bulls-eye was so hard
to hit in one of our running deer rifle
matches was that we had previously

Nature Studies on the Prairie.

A Bloom township farmer says that
he has a pet catfish in a water tank
on his farm which serves useful
purpose. Whenever this farmer gets
the fever to fish he digs up few
worms and throws them in the tank.
If the pet fish grabs them up he knows
fish are biting and gets his fish pole
and hikes for the river. If, on the
other hand the fish pays no attention
to the worms he knows 1t is poor day
for fishing and let's his wife tell him
what she wants done and does 1t. So
he never misses It and always returns
from the river with q string of fish
like the proverbial small boy gets. A

Like Qldtime Sea Story.

A tale Of piracy, with an Oldtime
flavor, comes from the Orient. Between
HOngkong and Macao, the captain of
an Oil junk was surprised to observe
seven men, armed to the teeth, stand
ing In an open boat alongside. Four
of them had rifles, two had two revOl-
vers each, and the seventh had a re-
volver and dagger. AS the captain
refused to surrender his vessel when
called upon to do so, the pirates fired
into the air in order to intimidate him.
This had the desired effect, for the
junk was stopped and the pirates
clambered aboard. They overpowered
the crew and steered the ship for an
island where another vessel was an
chored. They transferred the cargo to
it, took everything they could remove
and then liberated the imprisoned crew
and let them sail away In their empty
junk. The pirates kidnapped two of the
crew, evidently being short Of men.
