The superstitious belief ii
witchcraft and orrery is still fai
more prevalent iu rural brunet
than would he generally tiiought
A bricklayer named Merot, livin;
in the village of Saint George sur
Moulons, was so firmly couvincet
that a neighbor had the “evil eye’
and had east a spell over him tha
one day in April last, goaded int<
a state of terror, he could bear i
no longer, and beat the presumec
sorcerer to death. Merot was pu
on trial for murder, says the Lon
don Chronicle.
The accused told the court tha’
what exasperated him most wai
the nerve-shattering influence tin
deceased possessed. The cleat
man was constantly predicting
misfortunes that invariably befel
him as foretold. Several timet
the prisoner declared the pa rial
priest had tried to exorcise the
evil spirit from his neighbor, btr
without avail. One day, whei
Merot met his victim, the lattei
said: “Hullo, not dead yet? Yor
have only one more week to live.*
Flesh and blood, declared the ac
oust'd, could stand these predic
tions no longer, and lit' there ant
then, it is said, dispatched hit
neighbor.
to show Ins belief in tlie reputer
sorcerer's power was not <’ * 1c
mere imagination, Merot r< it r
ft number of instances whi
declared afforded proof of tin m c
man’s uncanny gifts. Tim on*
night, while in bed, Merot s- : (
was about to expectorate on C-»
floor, when the voice of the * vi
genius, who could not see v a
heard from without to say: •‘•'pit
on the right of the bed.” “'low
then,” asked the accused, “could
he have known I was about i<
spit?” On several occasions, as
sorted the prisoner, the sorcerei
had given him stomach aches, nnc
twice he had brought on pnttia
pnralysis. He afterwards rami
and revelled in his (Merot’s) suf
ferings. Several villagers of Raim
George-sur Moulons were called
as witnesses, and. in response t<
the judge’s question as to theii
opinion of the deceased, declared
that while they had not “absolute’
belief in the dead man’s power o!
evil, they were none too sure thai
he had not the evil eye.
The jury were so greatly im
pressed by the evident sineerit v ol
both the prisoner and his peasanl
witnesses that they eventually
brought in a verdict of acquittal.
WOMEN ON STREET CARS.
Difference in Their Individual Con
duct Keeps the Conductor
Guessing.
“Ever watch howdilTerent worn
ensignal to have the car stopped?’'
asked the conduetor, according to
the Chicago Inter < b ean. “I don’t
believe any two women do tin
thing just the same way. There's
the woman who begins to fidget
about four blocks before her cor
nor, and keeps ns guessing as t<i
where she wants to got otf. And
then there's tlie woman who lie
gins to beg ns every time we pc
through the ear not to earrv her
past her corner. One woman tries
to be dignified and nods her head
so slightly that unless you're look
ing close or straight at her yon
don't catch the signal at all. An
other woman stands up, nourishes
her umbrella and then sits down
again. Some w. work their
way to the door a ' ’ •,v«
w■’ reach their cor,, -i. and h; n
wair till the car stops, and then
fall over themselves and every
body else in order to get out.
‘‘One woman this morning
waved a handbag at me and
yelled: ‘Ili, you! I want to get
ofT here.’ Another woman raised
one huger, and 1 could see her lips
moving. She was no doubt nam
ing the street, but I could not hear
that whisper the length of the car,
so I took it for granted that she
wanted to get off at the next coi
ner. But she didn’t. She wanted
three blocks beyond. But the
woman who gets me is the ons
j who jerks my sleeve as I pass and
looks up as besoechinglv as if she
thought I was just there to carry
her past.
“Some women—I call ’em per
i fo(-t ladies—say: ‘The next cor
nei, please, and then all the cheap
. worn* i) in the car sneer at them as
if t hey lowered themselves by
; saying ‘please’ to a cheap skate
conductor.”

Piact.^ajiy Limit to the Expen

The sums squandered on clothes
by the very rich are astonishing,
says Rene Bache, in tin I’liilade!
pliia Saturday Evening Post, it
i is true that even the multi-mil
> lionaire, though his apparel conies
I to a pretty penny, is obliged to be
r severely simple in his ow1 ai'i^p,
I but in the costuming of H
. and daughters he has an op} v, r:
i nity to open wide his overflowing
, purse. For the cost of women's
raiment lias practically no limit,
i :,n,l :l lady of highest fashion can
. hardly be comfortable on a dress
allowance of less than $20,000 a
- year. If her husband is liberal he
may give her $25,000 without fear
. that la* is encouraging her to in
j dulge an undue ext ravn*ranee.
i In order to be comfortable a
woman of fashion oiurlit to have
at least 00 frocks a year. Five of
, these should be tailor-made suits
for street wear. There should b<
> 15 evening gowns, t<-n dining
frowns and six "little dresses.” as
they are called, of soft wools and
, silks, for informal afternoons. To
these should be added 15 summer
i dresses of tine French muslins.
, with much lace and embroidery
and half a dozen tailor-made linen
suits, also for warm weather.
The street suits cost from $125
i to $250 apiece. They are severely
plain, and that is why they are so
• expensive, the glove-like fit being
l all important. The finest tailor
t ing is done on the simplest gowns.
> and it is for this reason that the
linen suits above mentioned come
; to $75 or $100 each. A fashion
1 able dressmaker will charge from
i *150 to $750 for the evening and
■ dinner gowns, $85 to $150 for the
I “little dresses,” and $100 to $.’{00
’ for the summer muslins, with
' their dainty frills and furbelows.
Of “tea gowns,” in which my
lady may receive her very inti
mate friends on occasions, she
1 will have three or four (costing
from 800 to $”00. adorned with
much lace, and one of them
(rimmed with fur. perhaps), and
those will be supplemented by an
equal number of wrappers, of soft
silks and baptistes (fas! ’oriablv
knou n as "negligecs”), equaIly ex
pensive and trimmed with valen
cmnnes.
BUTTERFLIES FOR THE SICK

it a whole ward of children

ARE EXTREMELY DELICATE,
Scientific Operations Necessary in
Taking the Measurement
of the Earth.
The science of geodesy is mak
ing rapid strides along the line of
iceuracy.and there is not much left
to be perfected in the way of
method. The all important prob
lem of modern, as well as ancient
geodesy, of course, is the measure
ment of the dimensions of the
mrth, which enters into all
practical work of surveying,
navigation and terrestial phy
sics, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. The International geo
detic asociation several years
ago undertook the problem, the
different nations having agreed to
contribute their share toward au
accurate determination. As lias
already been recorded, the deter
mination was undertaken in Ecua
dor. in 1901, and extended from the
Colombian to the Peruvian front
ier, ad every possible refinement
to attain the maximum degree of
accuracy was adopted. The great
est difficulty is to secure an aocu
rate base line, which is compli
cated by so apparently trivial a
thin1'as the expansion of the meas
u:, medium. The latest refine
men. in the bar method is that or
iginated by the United States
coast and geodetic survey, using
a single bar immersed in melting
ice, the containing trough being
carried on a suitable car upon a
temporary track. Later still. M.
Guillaume discovered an alloy of
64 per cent, steel and 3G per cent,
nickel possesses an exceedingly
low coefficient of expansion, and,
consequently, offers the best medi
um for accurate base line measure
ments. This alloy is known as "in
var,” and is usually employed n
the form of a wire supported by
tripods and stretched by a definite
weight. A very valuable piece of
work on the island of Spitzberg* n
was completed with the use of this
alloyed wire.
Even the infinitisimal variation
in the force of gravity at different
portions of the earth is not too in
significant to be disregarded, ; d
must be determined and a correc
tion applied. This delicate d< r
mination is made by observin' the
pressure of the atmosphere by e
determination of the boiling i t
of water, and comparing the f • •»
