WITCHES FEARED IN OHIO
Early Settlers Had Strong Belief in
Their Power to Work Harm
In the Community.

Belief In witchcraft was not IN
common among the early white set
tiers in Ohio, and domestic animals
which were claimed to have been taken
possession of by witches were some
times burned alive in order to bring
an end to the evil practice of witches.
1t was held that witches could not
be exterminated in any other way.
Howe's Ohio history records a
story of this kind, said to be on
the records of the common pleas
court of Lawrence county. The story
was brought out in the trial Of q
claim for imposition in a horse sale
in 1928. The purchaser claimed that
he had been cheated, that the horse,
instead of being sound, was sick when
sold to him, and died soon afterward.
The defendant who had sold the
horse claimed that the animal was
not sick, but was bewitched, and in
support Of his contention told of a
COW In the same neighborhood that
had been bewitched. The owner of
the cow was convinced of the fact
and to make sure that the witch
would not take possession Of other
animals In the neighborhood, had
tied the COW to a tree and with the
assistance of neighbors, burned her
there alive, much to the relief OF
settlers in the vicinity, who seem gen.
orally to have been believers in witch.

COUNTRY OF MIXED RACES
Declared Mingled in the DweIlers
In Alsace.

AS we came out Of the square (at
st. Amarin) little boys were bringing
In armfuIs of wood for their school

nOisily scampering home for dinner in
the crisp, sawdusty air; straight COL
umns Of smoke from many chimneys
evoked women standing about nooday
fires; there was homely human feel
ing about II all.
AS / went through the school 1t
seemed to me that the types Of the
children were modified in two ways,
head, with pointed chin, dark hair
dark eyes and mantling color; now
toward the round-headed, square-jaw
ed. blond type, with full, dreamy. blue
eyes. But under these notifications
one felt that there was a persistent
something, that was their own, neither
German nor French nor anything else,
for all the minglng; the AIsatian
root and stem, with an inalienable,
peculiar life mounting in 1t, it's very
own, its race gift.
And this essential gift. this rich, d.
verse inheritance. had been received
from each point of the compass. From
the south, through the defiles of the
Alps. the Great Latin traditions had
infitrated From the north and east
had come Germanic thought. with it's
mystical reactions. its metaphysical
inclinations, its marvellous legends.
and its romantic chronicles of gods
and half gods. From the west. from
Gaul, came grace and courtesy and
the deathless wish for liberty. Was
ever a people more richly endowed?-

Vishnu In Mythology.

Vishnu is the second god in the
Hindu triad. When he first appears
in Vedic times, he Is simply the god
of the shining armament. the younger
brother of Indra, and inferior to him
in dignity The higher rank was &C.
corded to him by later writer's. The
Brahmanic myths relating to vishnu
are characterized by the idea that
whenever great physical or moral dis
order affected the world, Vishnu
descended in a small portion Of his
essence to set 1t right. He is gener-
ally represented as having four arms,
each hand holding some particular
object, and as riding on a being half
man and half beast. His most en-
thusiastic followers are generally
drawn from the middle classes Of
Hindu society. His mark on their
foreheads Is trident, with yellow
prong in the center and white one
on each side.

The Art of PLEASING

The desire of pleasing makes a man
agreeable or unwelcome to those with
whom he converses, according to the
motive from which that inclination ap-
pears to flow. If your concern for
pleasing others arises from an innate
benevolence. 1t never fails Of success
If from a vanity to excel, its disap.
pointment is no less certain. What
we call an agreeable man, is he VINO
is endowed with that natural bent 60

he takes in them merely as such: and
the affectation Of that character h
