M. Cruppl, as minister of juitlco, is hard at work attempting to qgith the practice of. sorcery (n France. This seems a curious necessity In the twentieth century, but It is a very real necessity for all that. French people, like all Latins, are very supen^ stttlous, and although most people in the towns laugh at the thought read ers and the rest of the tribe evyu while they go to consult them, the wise woman, the witch and workers of magic, black and white, exist In the country end practice their arts with impunity, to their own satisfac tion and occasionally to* that of their victims. A case in a village in Normandy may be recalled.. a sho/t while ago, where ah old woman died of fright because she had been "bewitched." Slio had refused to give or sell the witch some eggs because she wanted them herself. The witch made sign* at her and told her she was stricken dumb. Tho old woman proved con clusively till the wJtch went away that she was not dumb Just yet at all events, but that evening she scalded her tongue badly with her soup; It swelled a little, and she could not speak distinctly. This frightened her so (she was a woman of 80 and illit erate) that she took to her bed, had a stroke of paralyils and died a few days afterward. At Morlaix last week a worker of white magic killed a girl of IS surely as though he had shot her through the head. She suffered from bronchitis. To cure her the "wizard 1 ordered her to go barefoot to- the cemetery, collect some earth from a newly-made grave, strip herself com pletely, and after finding a spider to walk home with the grave earth In one hand and the spider in - the oth er. She waa then to bury them out side her garden gate and to cut her finger nails and toe nails‘with a pair of rusty scissors before she re-enter ed the house. The girl followed the prescription carefully, and, being ill before she followed it, she not un naturally caught another cold and died.—Paris Letter to the London Express.

The variety of ways in which a glr. en number of articles may be placed Ifaa often created much surprise, mathematician once set himself to the talk of calculating .the number of different wayt In which the fifty-two cards of a pack could be distributed .among four playera, thirteen to each, taking every possible combination. II would be useless to present the an swer here In a long row of figures, for no one can realise what such a nu merical array really means, but the following Illustration can he readily grasped: • ' If the entire population of the earth, say one thousand millions of persona, were to deal the carda continually, day and night, for one hundred mi] Ilona of years, at the rate of a deal by each person a minute, they would not have exhausted the one hundred thousandth part of the number of es sentially different ways In which It la tnsslble that the cards can be so dis tributed. - Spare the Doves. The turtle dovea an great feeder* on the seeds ot Weedi, and do much to protect growing crops from barm through tho ravages ot those weeds on tho seeds ot which they teed. The government biological survey, In con ducting Its Investigation to determine the economlo value of' these birds, found In the stomachs of threo turtle doves 23,100 hawkweed seeds, with the seeds of several othey kinds of weeds which have caused the farmer Inconveniences and expense during a larger portion of tho crop growing season. Theao birds an much more effective as a weed exterminating force than an army of men with hoes and weeden, because the best That man can do Is -to keep the weeds In cheeks to a certain extent, while the teed devoured by the bird Is de stroyed and .prevented from taking root. It Is estimated that the natural incrente of these birds. If they were allowed to. multlplyswlthont Interrup tion, would save the American farmer at leatt $500,000,000 a year. The Perverse Husband.
