Fate's Grim Jest

About the middle Of the Seventeenth
century, when so-called witches were
being prosecuted In England, there
were many fanatics who went about
the country seeking out persons ac-
cused of witchcraft and forcing them
to confess by means of examination
and tortures. One man In particu-
lar, Matthew Hopkins, received the
title of witchfnder-ge general because of
his industry in the search. In single
year (1644) he brought 90 persons to
the stake. Being finally accused Of
witchcraft himself, Hopkins was sub
jected to his own favorlte test of swim
ming, and, happening to float, was de-
clared to be a wizard and put to death.

Tribe Claims Descent
Directly From Adam

In the Mosul area, between Turkey
and Irak, the League Of Nations in
vestigating commission studied a
strange devil-worshiping people called
the Yedizi. The religion of these peo-
pie Is extraordinary. From God, they
believe, amanated seven spirits-the
first satan; the second, Jesus Christ
In their belief God created the world
through satan and leased it to him for
10000 years, 5000 of which have
elapsed. Their name for satan is
Melek Taus, whom they worship in the
form Of bronze peacock. They have
q temple on whose walls are painted
sun, moon, stars and great black ser
pent. There every year they sacrifice
a white bull. For the rest, their re
ligion Is conglomerate. They adore
equally the Old and New Testament
and the Koran, Jesus and Mohammed.
The sign of the cross is holy to them,
but so are Mecca, and verses from the
Koran. They believe in the transmit
grafton Of souls and in the divinity
Of fire. They live in complete isola-
ton. Their origin is obscure. They
speak Kurdish, but look like the types
of old Assyrian monuments. They claim
to be different from all other peoples,
and more ancient. Others, they say,
are descended from Adam and Eve,
whereas they are descended from
Adam alone.

Sound AdUice Giuen

The old sanitary laws devised by the
Hebrews must be recognized by hygi-
eniC experts, as based on sound and
scientific modern concepts, according
TO DR.. Otto Bauer, physician at Jena,
who writes In German popular med
ical journal, Pierre Van Paassen COM
ments, in the Atlanta Constitution.
Humanity must often go back to the
ancients for counsel and advice. The
Mosaic sanitary laws are not the only
instance. How much sound advice, for
example, is there not contained in
Xenophon's Oeconomicus for the young
matrons of our days who wish to re-
tain their schoolgirl complexion and
their slim, athletic figures7
XenOphon writes of a man who told
Socrates how he had counseled his
wife not to use so much white enamel
for her complexion, to discard high
heeled shoes and not to dip too deeply
in the rouge pot. And he added: II
counseled her to oversee the baking
woman as she made the bread; to
stand beside the housekeeper as she

me this would at once be walking ex-
ercise and gynastics. And as a most
excellent gymnastic, recommend her
TO knead the dough and roll the paste;
to shake the coverlets and make the
beds. For by so doing she would en-
Joy her food, grow vigorous in health
and her complexion would be lovelier."
Socrates gravely assented TO this and
referred somewhat contemptuously to
ordinary fine danes, painted counter
feits of womanhood."

Cartridges for Can1els

Camels represent the most valuable
possession of the people of Abyssinis
because they provide means Of trans
portation, without which life would be
In jeopardy. In commerce camels are
used many times as the equivalent Of

PlosU as Wedding Guest

The recent appearance Of tractors
has created great excitement in isolat-
ed villages of Turkestan, Central Asia.
The mullahs, or priests, are strongly
opposed to the invention, which they
call "shaitan omach," or "the devils
plow," and they utter dark prophecies
Of crop failures and other disasters
that will follow it's use; but the
Turkestan peasants take kindly to the
tractor after they realize it's superior
ity over their primitive wooden, OK
drawn plOws.
One case is reported in which a
Turkestan peasant insisted that the
tractor should be present at his mar
riage, as a sort of honored guest.

Women Do the Hard Work

The girls and younger women Of
Rapa do must of the labor in the taro
fields, while the older women attend
to the housekeeping. The exemption
of the men from agricultural labor al
lows them more time for fishing. and
as a result of their sea experience
they are much sought by captains of
sailing vessels at Papeete.
The constant demand for Rapa men
during the period of nearly a century
has led to a considerable preponder-
ance of women in the island popula-
tion-Robert Cushman Murphy. in the

Turkey raisers over near Kent
county, Maryland, are preparing for
one Of the most successful seasons in
the history of the industry. Standard
bred gobblers are being imported from
large ranches in Pennsylvania and
fiocks are being culled there with a
view to greatly improving the size
and weight of the birds that will go
on the markets during the season, es-
pecially the early "squab" market
which brought the growers such good
profits last season. Farmers thruout
the county netted more than 100000
from the business last year, and this
large profit has been the incentive for
the enlarged preparations now in pro-
gress.

Announcement of the discovery
was made by DR.. j. G. Anderson,
Swedish scientist, who is mining
adviser to- the Chinese government.
Anderson discovered an ancient cav
ern in the limestone lodges of Chou
koutien, aboutS twenty miles south
west of Picking.
His discovery was made several
years ago and subsequent excava-
tions were made by the Austrian
palaeoEtologist Dr. o. Zdansky. Ma
terial removed from the cave was
removed to the laboratory of Pro
fessot Wiman in the University of

were discovered while other material
was being cleaned and examined.
Full information was communicated

had discovered the cave, might an

\ ut is not yet established beyond

lived at the opening of the

that his day was no more recent is
attested by the associated animal
