In Sonieraetshire the peasants have
no doubt as to the play of malcSoent
influences, says tho Academy. The pig
that falls ill and dies was "overlooked. "
A murrain "afflicts a farmers cattle,"
and off he goes to the "white witch,"
that is, to tho old witch finder, to learn
who has "overlooked his things," and
to ascertain the best antidote, "because
they there farriers can't do no good."
A child pines away with some mys
terious, wasting sickness, which the
Tipperary peasants, as shown in the
recent falsely called "witch burning"
case, believe to be the work of fairies
in substituting a "changeling," but
which the Somerset woman refers to
the action of a witch who has cast a
fatal glance upon the victim.
Often she gives up not only hope, but
all effort to save the child, the conse
quent neglect, of course, hastens the
exnected result and then it is: "Oh! I
know d very well he woukln t never
get no better. Tidn' no good for to
strive vor to go agin' it." This is no
fancy, no isolated case, but here in the
last decade of the nineteenth century
one of the commonest of everyday
facts.
While in England the belief is mostly
confined to rural districts in more hack
ward countries, as Spain und Italy, it
flourishes in the largo towns. In Na
ples the appearance of a person having
the ill-repute of a jettatore is the signal
for a general stampede, and Mr.-kl-worthy
amusingly relates the fright
which he unwittingly gave a second
hand bookseller in Venice when asking
about a copy of Valletto's "Ciealata
sul Fascino." On hearing the last
words of the title "the miin netually
turned and bolted into his inner room,
leaving the customer in full possession
of his entire stock." Pio Nono was be
lieved to have the jettatore and the
faithful, when seeking his blessing,
protectively pointed two fingers at him,

It has. been noted tliBt the first set
tiers in heavily-wooded sections of the
country have generally been healthy,
despite their many privntionn. The
reason for this Is, Rays Hall's Journal of
Health, that trees and plants of all
kinds possess the power of absorbing
poisoned air from decaying vegetation,
besides which tho emanations from
evergreens and the smoke from burn
ing resinous woods are noted for the re
lief they givo to those suffering from
pulmonary diseases.
New. henvilv-wooded countries, as
already noted, aro the most healthy
for settlers, and they continue no for
maliy yertrs, nt only small portion of
the forest can bo elenrej uway each
yeur. After the forest is removed and
sunlight is admitted the will fills nip'
idly with vegetable mold, which dc1
composes more rapidly than it can be
absorbed by tho m-ant vi'in-tation. an, I
ns a result tho atmosphere Is rendered
Impure and umlurla become: a common
complaint. In view of those fuels. I
people arj beginning to undcrsttiml tlie
value of trees as distvise-nb uirbing and

oeneea differs from nearly all of its
many sister lakes in this section of the
state in the matter of its seldom freez
ing over, writes a correspondent of the
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
from Wntkins, N. Y. This is due to
the great depth of the lake and the
fact that it is fed largely by springu
along its uhores and, as many believe,
at its bottom. During the summer Bea
son the lake tbsorba a vast amount of
heat, but owing to tho non-conducting
properties of water it is slow in throw
ing off in the winter.
For this reason on many cold winter
mornings the lake's surface is covered
with vapor, which indicates that the
water is warmer than tho atmosphere.
This vapor is always densest over the
doepest portions of tho lake, showing
that the water along tho shores in the
shallower parts has to somo extent be
come colder. As the surface of the
lake cools the water gradually com
mingles with that below, and finally
the whole bodv of tho lako becomes
cooled. In addition a heavy body of
snow melting in the spring and flowing
into the luko, especially in case of a
freshet, tendti to cool tho water and
render the lidte liable to freezing if
tho surface is not too much disturbed
by wind. For these reason: tho hike
sometimes freezes over very lute in the
spring, even when tho temperature is
.'roin fifteen degrees to twenty-five do
" roes above zero; us for instance a thin
ill in of loo covered tho lake's tmrfaee on
tho mornings of May B, ISOt, May 15,
1872, May 0, 1873, und April 20, 18M4.
On many mornings the mercury has
been down to zero or below, and at
Monterey one day recently the thermom
eter registered thirty degrees below
zero, yet tho lake had not sufficiently
cooled to freeze over, for no snow water
has run Into It this season. However, the
country tributary to the lake la now cov
ered with snow to a depth of from two
to three feet, and if the cold should con
tinuo for somo time yet and tho heavy
body of snow go off In u Hood tho luko
would undoubtedly freeze over.
In a description of Nennca lake Ap
plcton's Cyclopedia states that It was
never known to bo frozen over until
March 2'J, ISM, but according to Wll
Hum C. Coon, of Iturdett, ho and a party
of oliout twenty skated across tho lake
from (lien Lldridgo to Walk ins und
buck on the morning of February 2H,
1 H.5. The ice was then five inches thick
in tho middle of the lake und was clear
und solid. On March 3, 1 KOI, tho lake
again froze over, and In 1N75, for a -
rlod of four weeks and two days prior
to March 14, It was frozen over ho that
persons could cross it liuiny miles from
the head. On February 31, 1h5. it
froze over from shore to shore out as
fur as the rye could reach, and four
d.i" . later a grand rural vnl wos held on
the ire In the evening. Altil one thou
Mind xTMitci assembled, coining from

In the beginning (lod made Adam
out of the earth, but he did not make
(Uus-kabe (the Indian God), says Abbe
L. Alger in the Regular Science
Monthly. C.lus-kabe made himself out
of the dirt that was kicked up in the
creation of Adam, lie rose and walked
about, blithe could not speak until the
Lord opened his lips.
(iod made the earth and the sea, and
then lie took counsel with Glus-kabe
concerning them. He asked him if It
would be better to have the rivers run
up on one side of the earth and down
on the other, but Ulus-kabe said: "No,
they mnst all run down one way."
Then tho Lord asked him about the
ocean, whether it would not do to have
it always lie still. Glus-kabe told Him:
"Kol It must rise and fall, or else It
would grow thick and stagnant."
"How about fire?" asked the Lord;
"can it burn all the time and nobody
put it out?"
Glus-kabe said: "That would not
do, for if anybody got burned and fire
could not bo put out, they would die;
but if it could be put out, then the
burn would get well."
Ho ho answered all the Lord ques
tions.

sembling a piece of "culls" In a rag
shop lay on the ground, where it had
fallen from his head. On one 1001 was
an oi l felt slipper und on the other an

way to a bench that was secluded and
shaded by a tree. Ho had gone to
sleep.
In the tree the sparrows hopped and
twittered in the hlinde of tho foliage.
Suddenly through the branches rime

hard to mnke Its tender w ings Ix-ar tip
