THtf DAILY uiiiaLU: - Jt a P r. U I J. A ' .1 FAITH IX WITCHCRAFT. A CHAPTER OF HISTORY ASTOUND ING TO MODERN NOTIONS. One of the IK liilon of the "Good Old Tlm" What an English Newipapr finjm Penalties Inflicted by Charch and Mate The Inrltan. At Christmas time, according to Bhate irpooro or Marcellus, no witch has power to charm, no hallowed and so gracious Is the time. There Is perliapa no chapter of history more painful or more astounding to our modrrn notions than that devoted to witch craft. Tho delusion was not lite one of those udde;i outbreaks of fanaticism which spring tip. nobody knows how, and die away as sud denly; It was regarded as a lusting evil to Le punished with the severest penalties of the church and of the statu. And for the most part the people who perished under this reign of terror were women. They were gener ally old and Ugly, and had familiar spirits to do their errands; hut sometimes young and fair women suffered on tho rack and at the stake under tho terrible imputation of witch craft. To be accused of this crime was In most cases to le condemned for it; and, indeed, there seemed littlo chance of an escape, for the, testa to which accused persons were put In order to try their Innocence generally prov-.' mortal. To throw an old woman into thk water, and, if sho sinks, to save her chancer at tho expense of her life, Is hardly kind y the old woman. Almost any cause sufliccd as a reason for burning old women. Two, for example, were burned at Constance as tho supposed authors of a great storm, and nnother for dtroying a ship at sea by means of 111 They wore never burnt, we be lieve, without confession; but then it was tho custom to torture tlieni till they did con fess. One notable form of witchcraft, which has t.een admirably turned to poetic account by Kossetti, wus to form a waxen image of some .erson obnoxious to the witch, and as this image was gradually melted by the fire, so it wjii sup;oscd would the victim's life fade nway. Of thi3 form of sorcery Eleanor Cot, ham, wife of Duke Humphrey, was ao--u.l; and llollingshed relates that sho was condemned to do open penance in tho city of lxndon, and afterward to suffer perpetual imprisonment in the Isle of Man. A kind of soro-ry similar to that for which Eleanor C'obham suffered led to the execution, in JG1S, of two ivomen In Lincoln, who were said to have bewitched Lord Ilosse to death by burying his glove; and "as that glove did rot and waste, so did the liver of tho said Jord rot and vi n;to." In the Fifteenth century Pope Innocent VI 11 lisui-J a bull against witchcraft, em powering iu-jyisitors to seek for witches and to burn them, end the agreeable vocation jmist have leen pursued with a zest, for one Injyisitor burned forty -one witches in one year, ,ind another burned 100. It is stated that tena of thousands of victims have suf fered for this imaginary crime. In the dio fso of Como 1,000 vera burned in a year at tie beginning of the Sixteenth century, and at tlie same time 500 perished in Geneva la ihn-c months. Tuo belief in witchcraft and the iutcVrable cruelties eausoJ by this belief tvere not confined to the papal ciiuich. In th 5;vcnteentn century the Puritans in New Upland hanged a number of persons as weil as two dogs for this imaginary crime; and for two years Hopkins, the "witch Cn.fcjr,' drove a nourishing trade in Essex, In 200 years 30,000 witches are said tohavs Jtieen dosucyed in England; and as recently r as 171G, whn iis town was enjoying tho wit and satire of tb "Qiizen Anno men," a woman aud her child 9 years of so were hkiiged at Huntingdon. Addisotl, with a mind tnat wavered between superstition ana good sense, said ho could not forbear believ v'ue "in such a commerce with evil spirits as W-.t. which we exuress bv the name of witch- ' '2W while, at tho same time, ho could , to no credit to any particular modern in- rXnceof it." Thus conclusion is quoted by 'Sickstor.o in tho fourth volume of his 'Commentaries." Scotland, which is regarded as an enlight ened part of the empire, hold with the ut most teuacltv its faith ia witchcraft. The Scotch, a vfgoraus people, put their hands to the work heartily. Jt was easy to find victims, 6ino as wo have said already, they were tortured until they confessed. Take one instance out of thousands. Isabel Craw ford, after the minister had mado earnest prayers to God for opening her closed heart, was tortured with iron bars laid upon her bare shins, her feet being in tho stocks. F or n timo she boro tho torture admirably, tlpugh about thirty stone of irou were laid on her io5, but iu xaovuij tho bars to another part ofYer shins she broke out into horrible cries, nnd coutesaftl to intercourse with tho dovih Kho was condemned, o. course, and at the t.l.uv of execution oji;!y denied her former confession. It calculated iU6 ?,000 per sons were burned in Scotland i:i tho last firty years of the Sixteenth century. A century later a witch epidemic broke out in tho v:llag-: of Mohra, in Sweden. A iiumlier of children were said to bo be witched and familiar witu the devil, who wa described as wearing a gray coit, red njid blue stockings, . red beard and a high crowned hat. Tho witches kept tbisexacting personage supplied with cluiditti, and if t'.jcv did not procure him a good many "ihey liad" no peace or quiet for him." Tho poor wiotches wero doomed to have no more reice or q'lict ia this world.

John Patterson. THE LATEST MECHANICAL WONDER. A Figure That rolls Out Ita Watch and Tells One the Time. Trofessor Charles Richcl, the Inventor of the flying machine which created so much interest a few years ago, is just completing a mechanical wonder which is an astonishing piece of mechanism. It promises to create a great furor throughout tho country. He has been over a year experimenting with it, and has at last achieved results which at the out start seemed impossible, II was given carte blanche from a watch manufacturing concern to get up the novelty, timo and expense be ing a secondary consideration. Professor Richel has kept the matter secret, and has permitted no one to enter his study except ing one or two intimate friends. A reporter was given a private view last evening. The entrance to the studio is by way of a dark staircase on John street. Double doors, a screen and a heavy curtain shut out the daylight. Electric lights are used to work by. There are all sorts of grotesque heads, arms and bits of plaster anatomy hanging around the room, p.nd upon, the work bench are brass molds and a variety of ilne tools for the purpose of working in steel and brass. Tho now wonder is a life sized youth of per haps sixteen years of age. Ho Is a fine look ing lad, in perfect imitation of the average boy of tho present day. The figure stands upon the floor, and is attired in Knickerbock ers and laced shoes, vest, coat, etc, to all ap pearances a living boy. Trofessor Richel did pot approach the figure, but spoke to it, say ing, " Good evening, Bobby; what time is it t" The figure turned its head and bowed slightly, and with its left hand pulled back the coat. Tho right hand, which had been hancinc at the side, was lifted up to tho vest pocket and drew out a watch. The watch was then carried up to tho ear, at the same time the head turned so as to bring tho oar qown iu a listening attitude, while the eyes closed. When the silent youth was assured that the watch was ticking the hand dropped slightly forward; tho head turned so as to bring the faco to look full at tho wntch, the eyes opened and a pletised smilo spread over the features. Tho head was then thrown baclf, tho nana which held tho watch between the thumb and index finger returned The watcu o tie vest pocket and was then gracefully swung back into its resting position by the smo. The mouth opened, and with a pleasant laugh the figure said: "It's just half past 8, gentlwjn." So naturally was all this performed that for an instant it scorned as if the figure was an actual living being. There was no jerky movement, ncr tho slightest jar or noise, Tue r.yes oiieued and closed and the head moved about to all appearances like a living ona Frofos;or Richel laughed and said, "What do you think of it" and tuoa proceeded to ex plain how it was operated. Insido the figure is a u electric motor. This had been set in op eration by touching a concealed button in the iloor several feet away where the professor had been friauding. Afterwards be opened tho chest of the figure and exposed where the cams, springs, weight balances, spirals and levers which had caused the arms and head to move. Tho cleverest Darts are those which cause tho wrist, thumb and fingers to move, iho articuiatory mecnanism is very similar to that employed in a phonograph. New Yofc Woild. The Host and Ills C nests. Social intercourse or tho exchange of civili ties should bo solely for tho betterment and refinement of mankind, and if the status of such is not based upon a high sense of deli caey and cultivation the results must be fruitless. A knowledge of human nature is also im portant in the grouping of people. A wise entertainer knows tho ability of his friends and acquaintances, and would not invite Cassius-iike friendSj with aversion to music ia their souls, to a musicrlo, even though a Rubenstcin was to play and a Patti to sing. Neither would he Invite the bigot In religion to meet a rival one of aivcther school, nor an npostlo of Voltaire expecting pleasure from the discussion sure to arise. Nor would be bid political auiipcdes to attend a "con versation" on government affairs, with out expecting warm words and un pleasant clashing cf opinions. Neither would such invite the brightest lights of the dramatic world to meet those whose religious scruples prompt them to look upon the drama as a satanic invention for tho destruction of human souls. Kcr v.-cu!d it do to invite the merry, light hearted, youthful Terpsichorean to meet the sages of the court and the senate, knowing intuitively that there could be noth ing congenial bt-t'een the dignity and thoughtfulness of the one aud the frivolity and merriment of the other. A correct re gard for tha taste and weaknesses of one's Quests must be considered, to bring only con genial ieople togelhor as far as lc is possible to do so. In official entertaining, hosts have no dis cretion, and are in no wise responsible for the juxtaposition of discordant elements.

Fined for Being Ijite Rlust Stand All Hay ITal f an Ilour for Loocb Whom the Girls Marry Why the Seats Were Removed. "Well, wo have to be here at 8 o'clock every morning, whether we live on the east side, the west side, in Brooklyn or Harlem, and 8 o'clock isn't an unreasonable hour at all, norjlo we ever complain; but if we ore ten minutes late, no matter why, we are fined. Of course, to the cash girls this fine means going without the cup of hot coffee or the little bit of fruit she would have bought to piece out her little lunch; but, so far as I am concerned, I don't care anything about the fine; it is tho restriction that I object to and the being reprimanded. 1 don't intend to be late. I am just as much interested in being here in timo and selling a lot of goods as the proprietor is himself. I like my busi ness, and am proud of rny 6ales and anxious .to begin my work for the day, and the idea that because I happen to miss a car, or have one of the thousand little delaying accidents that every woman and man, too, for that matter Is liable to, that some man who knows nothing alout mo has a right to repri mand me nnd lino mo ju&t makes me cross and hurts my pride. "Then the hardest thing of all a shop girl has to endure is the constant standing from S in the morning until 0 at niht, with only one half hour rest at noon. A few j'ears ago somo one stirred up this subject and seats were placed behind the counter, but they havo been all taken away. Tho salesladies in suit departments can sit down, but not in the room where the customers are. Of course, if they go away in tho littlo side room to rest they miss their customers, and the consequence is that they stand all day outside. We do not mind it on busy days, the excitement keeps us up, but on dull days we almost faint away sometimes standing still with nothing to make us forget how tired we are. "We have half an hour for lunch, which is timo enough for u iersou to eat a cold lunch, but when a girl stands from 8 o'clock until 2, after a 7 o'clock breakfast, she wants some thing besides a sandwich and a cup of tea for her lunch. 1 used to go out aud buy my lunch and have a regular hot dinner, as 1 would at home. I needed it, and worked all the better for it, but of course I couldn't get it in half an hour. I was usually gone forty minutes. After a while I was denied that privilege, and 1 have to eat my lunch in tho lunch room. 1 don't like a cold lunch, and somehow the thought of the being compelled to do anything liko that tills my heart with a kind cjf bitterness that takes away all my ap petite. It isn't the cold lunch or the hot lunch room where they make cofTeo in one end and eat in the other, though ; tba$ isn't exactly w'uat I a'ui ised to at home, but it is the restraint that I rebel against. 'At 0 o'clock sharp we are all excused in a batch, and away we pour out of tho door like a mob of factory hands, and tho people all say, 'See the shop girls.' Now, if some could, wheu they had no customers, go at fifteen minutes to 0 or ten minutes to G, dcu't you see we wouldn't all '.lock out together tLnd at tract attention, for part of us would go at one time anil part at another, bnt now it is push and c?owu aud jam to got cut, so that if you would go decently and in a ladylike way you have to wait uutil all the crowd is gone. i hero ore a great many things I might do evenings to enjoy myselr, out i am too tired and feel so kind of bitter and sorry and re sontful in my heart that I don't want to go anywhere. 1 like my work, am interested in it, and do not want to give it up any more than a man wants to give up his business. My emploj-er is very kind, my salary is very geueroij3, aud all that; it is only a tew little things about the eyitejn managing the girls that makes us unhappy. We are inde pendent business women, earning as much. and in many cases more than men in the same places, and we do not like to be gov erued like tho !nrrates o an orphan home or bouse of correction. 'And what kind of men do we marry? Well, they have to lio pretty nice, or we d?n't bother with them. The hotter cia&s of sales ladies rarely marry employes ia the store Don't you see we are independent, and unless we are going to better ourselves very much. rr unless we eet hoijelossly In loe, we do not care to marry at a!L I know many girls who have married very well, and havo lovely homes. Do we ever marry tho customers whom we meet in the 6tore? Well," wta a toss of the blonde h?ad vna t p ctty flush in the timid face, "I know somo who might have married some of their customers, but wouldn't As far as promotion is concerned, that rests entirely with ourselves, is based on our ability, and I think i3 very fair and just. Some girU never get promoted because they lack ability and push, and others get to tho top in a short time. The promotions are from ?ash to parcel clerk,;irom that to stock clerk, one who assists in keeping the goods in order, then to bill clerk, saleslady, cashiers and floor walkers, and wages increoso from two dollars up to thirty or more." "How much pay do I get?1 said a little, fair faced maiden behind the counter. "Five dollars a week, unless something happens." "And what aoes happen to prevent it J" "Well, if I'm late a few minuter I am fined; if I am half an hour late I lose one quarter of a day's wages; if I make the least little mistake in my bills that is taken out of my pay, aiW if I break anything that has to be paid for. If I am cick half a day I lose that, and so 'OU see 1 don'tal ways get the $5. The floor walker doesn't always look when she hears a crash, because if she doesn't know what breaks or who breaks it, why then she cant report it. But 6hs alvra3'3 docs look if the superintendent is anywhere on tho floor. Sometimes one dish costs a wholb week's pay. "No, our superintendent isn't a wonjan, and I'm glad of it. A womau does nothing but scold and stew and fuss all the time over little things. Yes, it's pretty hard to keep up all the fiiibs, but 1 suppose ii makes us more careful, so that we really do not have so very mauy to pay. No, wo have no seats now; they have ail been taken away. Some times two or three of us crowd on the edge of a drawer that pulls out near the floor, but we fly up lively if we see the floor walker corn ng this way." "The girls abused the privilege," explained the floor walker, a delicate looking girL "They were not quick to rise up when cus tomers came in, and grew neglectful and indolent. Of course, it is tiresome to stand so long, and girls need to be strong to endure it, but they like the work aside from that, and in time they seem to grow accustomed to it, so that they do not mind it as they do at first. "The hardest things we have to get along with are tho cranks that come in here to be waited on. Of course, it is our busi ness to shoWthe goods., but just as much their business to be ladylika I tell you some of the girls behind the counter are more ladylike than the rich people they wait on."

Ilow the Luxuries of Yesterday llecoiue the Necessities of Today Development of Feminine Beauty of Flgare and Grace of Motion. One by ono the luxuries of yesterday be come the necessities of today and the very commonplace things of to-morrow, it is human nature that this should be so, for not only in one case is it true but iu many. The southern fruits which came to us as a rare dollcacy but a few years ago are daily seen on very plain tables. Why not, when they cost uo more than the fruit which grows in our climatel Tho oyster, which was some times sent as a great offering on friendship's altar to our forefathers from some friend at the seacoast, is now a staple article of diet all winter long, and not a costly one at that, though wo live nearly a thousand miles from the sea. The treasured silken gown of our grandmother, carefully kept in neat folds amid lavender sprigs, is today multiplied by fives, by tens, by twenties in the wardrobes of their granddaughters. The printed pages so rare, so treasured in olden times, are sold or given away daily in these days. 'Tis but a short time siuco a stationary bath in one's house was a rare, extravagant elegance, fewer still since the first Turkish baths were established in our larger cities, yet today it would be their absence which would cause remark. "manicure" axd "massage. " Webster's dictionary, revid rvl r:-.'; lislied in 1SS-, dues uut. contain tho word mani cure, yet the educated women in the land grow fewer every week who do not put into practical use their knowledge of manicure articles. For the same reason thfvery ono prefers to comb their hair with the rubber or shell invention of modern times rather than with a bunch of long strong thorns or fish bones, which were some of the contrivances of savago race3, one prefers to use the file and tho rounded scissors of the manicure to trim the nails instead of the penknife. We see the average woman with curefully cared for linger nails, when ten years ago not one of them used the 6ame methods of polishing, filing and trimming. Massuge, too, is a word of Nineteenth cen tury coining. Who of our rugged ancestry would have dreamed of being rubbed for pleasure or to enhauce their physical beauty unless it was the Romans in their ago of lux ury To be rubbed when ill is but an eppct e.l part of tho nursing and tretviirflt, tut to be rubbed into st.rguiats or sleuderness, or to be patted and punched into roundness and firmness of outline or muscle is just dawning upon tho consciousness of the publio as a thing possible to accomplish. It will only Tie iu the vcay noar to-morrow when tho t;iipvomo importance of this massage treat ment will le thoroughly understood by wom en in particular. They know how to appre ciate htheuessand suppleness in another woman, but they are very loth to undertake the proper exercie to develop that same fieedomof movement in themselves, fhat it may be imparted ia a degree by no act of their own vclitipn, but through tho medium of another's 'hands, is a fact to be heralded with joy, and ther-p is no shadow or possibil ity of a doubt that the moving of a joint back and forth, round nnd round, gently, slowly, with certain delicate manipulations, will render it free and elastic to vuauu-k-ahlo degree. What !o surgeons do in tho caso of a broken arm, where tho whole limb has been held immovable for days or weeks bandaged tight and close against the body? Po they leave the wrist and fingers stiH and lifeless, as they appear when tho ligatures and splints are removed) No. At this point in the heal ing the daily, and ofttimes twico daily, viLS of the surgeon are made with oven "more ex actness than earlier in the case, and despite the moans and groans of tho patient he bends every joint of the fingers and w rut backward and forward, each. m& farther and farther, until tha tca tured creature can endure no moro for the nonce. But though tho man of knowledge may desist until !ia.t time he un derstands the necessities of tho case, and no pleadip.g? wiii turn him from his course until tho joints havo recovered their prUtie flexi bility. DEMAXDS rKSONAL ATTEXTIOX. What example can be brought to bear on anything stronger than this argument in favor of massage treatment? Tho figure de mands personal attention today becauso it receives most notice from others, and light ness of gait, suppleness of body, freedom of movement are things desired of every one. Somo one said not long ago that she would liko to have been born her own daughter. This is a more reasonable wish than it seems and loss egotistical. Tho women of today are thoroughly alive to tho modern theories of education and cultivation, and they find it so hard a task to unlearn half they have been taught in order to reach a state where they may imbibe a new course of ideas that 'tis no wonder they wish they might begin over anew as a child. Ono of the terror of advancing ago is the tendency to stoutness; nothing except wrinkles do women more disiko than a heavy, plumping step which some 200 pounds of flesh, moro or less, to carry about engen ders. Masvsage is beneficial for this, though certainly by no means as effectual as active exercise. The ruDDing lor tuis snouiei te combined with long, smooth strokes of the hand from the neck down the spine, and from the hips to the heels, while the same mode of procedure applied to growing girls develops length of limb nnd general height. Another help to lightness, grace and supple ness are the movements taught by tho teach ers of Delsarte. This, perhaps, is tho best way of all for women who have loct the yield ing, springing movements of their youth, by either increase of years or weight. Delsarte saw tho beauty of nature as it should be iu tho human form, and studied but to prove how it might bo developed. His theory If that at every movement or gesture of any part of the body an almost imperceptible ripple of movement should run through the entire frame, and when one once sees the giaco of carding out this theory, no other argument Is needed in its favor. One is taught that the scat of all movemert U iu the waist, and the undulation c iho body, when the waist theory U graceful and mas tered, is the mo.o beautiful. Tho daughters of the women of today will bo brought tq the highest state of physical culture. Why should not their elder3 envy them? "S. S. E. M." in Chicago Herald. An Athlete's Ilulo cf Uealtn.
