Witches Still Believed In. Neglected by the powers, witches cessed to be so notorious, but the belief continued to exist. and does exist now. In rural parts of Scotland and England, and in England and France, even in the towns, fortune tellers, whether they charge a guinea or a shilling for their advice, are witches under the terms of the old statutes nnd flourish abundantly, but as they are not burned they art supposed by superficial observers to have been exterminated by school boards and electric lighting. The blacker sort of witch who “overlooks” and casts spells on man and beast may be found in many rural regions north and south. One of them was brought before a squire and justice of the peace of my acquaintance as a dangerous nuisance. He said to her solemnly, “You know, Betty, the Bible says ‘Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live in the parish.’ ” And she migrated, under certain conditions of compensation, to another parish. —London Post.

Was Thia a Trained Mad Dogs Not long ago a telephone call was received at the Flora avenue police station requesting that an officer be sent to a house to kill a dog supposedly mad. When the officer arrived he met a negro. “There's a dog under them steps, an' he's shore mad,” the negro said excitedly. The officer fired one shot without hitting the dog. The animal started to run away. “Gimme that gun quick. I’ll kill him.” the negro shouted. Saying which he reached for the officer's revolver and got It He then pursued the dog, aiming the revolver at it as it ran yelping down the street The policeman waited, expecting the negro to shoot at any moment The negro and dog—and the revolver —went round a corner and never came back. The officer has bought another revolver. He says he thinks the dog was trained.—Kansas City Star.

Changing His Colors. I Every Sunday a young bootblack tn New York attended a mission school. This school, through its well meaning teachers, decided to have a Christmas tree. The gifts for the pupils were provided for them by the teachers and some patrons of the school. Jimmy, the bootblack, Was there Christmas eve. but was much disappointed when his prebent proved to be a copy of Browning's poems. He folded it carefully in the paper in which he received it and took it borne. The next Sunday the superintendent of the mission school announced that any child who was disappointed with his or her gift could exchange it. Jimmy marched boldly to the front with his. “What have you there, Jimmy T" “Browning, sir.” “And what do yon want in exchange?” "Blacking, sir.” Quadrupeds That Lay Eggs. The salesman as he —rapped up the eggs conversed politely. “There are quadrupeds that lay, ma'am.’’ he said. “That lay eggs?” “Yes. They are mammals, ma’am, too. Their home is in South America, their names are the ornithorhynchus, or duck billed platypus, and the echidna. or porcupine ant eater. They are the lowest mammals known.” “Really T “Oh. yes! The duck billed platypus lays two eggs at a time. But the echidna lays but one egg. which it carries in a natural pouch beneath its stomach—there’s an idea for the hen there —until the kid echidna, so to speak, is hatched out.’’—Los Angeles Times. Her Ambition. This incident was told by an actress who was once playing Rosalind. and playing IL as she fancied, rather acceptably. As she entered her dressing room at the theater one night a note from a woman was handed to her which read in this wise: "Deae lady I work for a dentist but I have spoiled so many of his teeth saying over your part in the play that now I can say it just at well as you do. and I want you to let me try it tonight and see if I can’t for the dentist says be cannot hare me any more and I must pay for his teeth, and so I must go on the stage and I will be here at 7 o'clock.” The exchange was not made. “Not Worth ■ Cure.,” Curse, anything worthless. Corruption of the old English word kerse, a small, sour wild cherry; French, cerise; German, kirsch. “Vision of Piers Plowman :” Wisdom and wltt nowe la not worth a kerse. But if it be carded with cootia as clothera Kembe their wools. The expression “not worth a curse” used frequently nowadays is therefore not properly profane, though it is frequently intensified by a profane expletive. A Little In Doubt. Hostess—l hope we shall see yon again next Wednesday. I’m giving a dance. Mr. Young—l'm awfully sorry, but I’m going to a wedding. Hostess — Oh. indeed! I'm sure you’ll enjoy yourself far more. Mr. Young—l'm not so sure. You see, it’s my own wedding. Recipe For Happiness. To watch the. corn grow or the blossoms set, to draw bard breath over plowshare or spade, to read, to think, to loVte, to pray—these are the things that make men happy.—John Ruskin. Animals to the number of 70.000.000 are killed yearly for the sake of their tor.

Weak Women Te wrek sad aiitna women, there 1* »t least sa» way to help. But with that w»r. two treatments must 5* combined. One is local, one is coustltntional. but both are important, both essential. Dr. Shao p’s Night Cure is the Local. Dr. Shoop's Restorative, the Conditutional. The former—Dr. Shoop’sNi«htCure-isatop!cal mucous membraue suppository remedy, while Dr. Shoop’s Restorative is wholly an internal treatment. The Restorative reaches throughout the entire sysO'vn. seeking the repair of all nerva, all tissues and all blood ailments. The enre”. as its name implies, does ita work wtiil* you sleep. It soothss sore and inflamed mucous surfaces, heals local weaknesses and discharges, while the Restorative, eases nervous excitement, gives renewed vigor and ambition, builds up wasted tissues, bringing about renewed strength, vigor, and energy. Take Dr. Shoop's Restorative—Tablets or Liquid—as a g-neral tonic to the system. For positive local help, use as well Dr. Shoop’s Night Cure W. H, NACHTRIEB.

Stimpson, of Willimantic, Conn., who, after almost losing hope of recovery, on account of the failure of so many remedies, finally tried Foley's Kidney Cure, which he says was “just the thing” for him, as four bottles cured him completely. He is now entirely well and free from all the suffering incident to acute kidney trouble. THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO. o Orino Laxative Fruit Syrup is best for women and children.
