Faith la Witefcrrtft. Belief in witchcraft is still found among tho jwoplo in many conntrim. The wife of a rich farmer in btyna, Austria, had been paralyzed for years, and the medical men gavs her up as heirless. The fanner lately applied to a soothsayer, who looked into the mat ter and pronounced the patient to be be witched. She pointed mt another farmer who had also been sick for years as the wizard, and prescribed that an old pair of pants of the man and a few drops of his blood must be placed over a dull fire and slowly burned. The pa tient w.mt 1 held over this smoldering fire and thoroughly fumigated, after which she would recover. The pants were obtained and the old sick man one evening, when stepping into the door way of his hut to get a breath of fresh air, was attacked and thrown down on his face to make his nose and mouth bleed. The blood was carefully scraped tip from the ground and the fumigation made, but of course without the prom ised effect of curing the woman. The old man was terribly shaken and has died since, whether as a result of the outrage committed againbt him is not reported. At Velilla, Spain, a farmer was sick. His son went to the only woman in the village that enjoyed the reputation of lieing a witch and de manded of her to restore his father to health. When a few days later his futher had not improved he went and shot lioth the socalled witch and her hubbaud dead. Chicago Herald. IMvlne Service by Telephone.

Lou dun Tit-Cits. Ancient Timl. Wh'ilo legal proceedings as to the ownership of the famous Red Rock caverns, below Menton, in which has heen recently found a still further group of neolithic skeletons of a giant man are still pending, an almost equally in teresting discovery has been made in a deep railway cutting at Andresy, in Seine-ot-Oise, near Paris, where, the workmen ran upon a huge Merovingian cemetery of the Sixth century. Already there have been uncovered nearly til v. I tombs, extending ever an area of l'1.; lniels, yielding a hitherto unheard of mass of curved sarcophagi, knives sjiears, vases, ornaments and pottery of unique shapes and styles of decoration.
