many cases of this character.

Thekla Popov’s clients were, however,

she had dealings with young girls who

who, from jealousy or rage, had deter

the drugs she admin istered acted slowly,

daughter of old Thekla Popov, came be
fore the court at Gross B» dskerek, and
horrified it by tile tale she had to tell,
she confessed that she gave the wife of
Joeza Kukin a bottle of some red liquid
poison prepared bv her mother’s in-

her respected parent over some prop

Thekla Popov’s daughter further declar

□our this poision into his coffee, and that
die told her mother what she knew and
had seen. The gypsy replied. “One

hold your tongue."
Of course this statement caused Thekla

arrested. They however, denied the
charge brought against them. Oddly

The Harvest Moon.
The September moon fills on the
27th at 22:2B a.ns. It possesses special
claims to distiontion. For, owing to
the position of the ecliptic in retard
to the equator at this season, the
moon rises for several consecutive
nights with only a comparatively
small interval between the success
ive risings. The short autumnal days
seeiu thus to be prolonged by the
floods of silvery moonlight that make
the night beautiful as day. The phe
nomenon is easily explained as the
axial rotation of the earth. Bat In
the olden times, when man was near
