I recall the dylug hour of one old Scotchwoman whose long struggle to "keep respectable" had so embittered her that her last wonts were gllies for thtsw* who were trying to minister to her "Bo you ram» lu yourself thia morning, did you?

The Witch Finders. Three hundred year« ago tbe bual uess of finding out witches was well eHtabllshed and accepted In courts of I law ns highly proper. In 1049 It Is re corded that the magistrates of New castle, England, sent to Scotland for sn expert witch tinder. This gifted person proceeded to show his skill by discovering tlfteen witches and secur ing tbelr conviction. One Matthew Hopkins was a celebrated witch finder of that jteriod. It was easy to discover witches when you knew how. Tbe sus pected person could be forced to weep aud then detected by the well known fact that a witch could shed only three tears and those from the left eye. or she could be pricked wltb pins to dis cover the s[M>t Insensible to pain, which was a sure sign of dealings with the devil. That women were far more likely to dabble in witchcraft than men was conceded. The reason was satisfactorily explained by a famous Herman text book on witches published In the fifteenth century. It was sim ply that women were Inherently wick ed. whereas men naturally Inclined to goodness. The Coyot». Tbe coyote Is the little brother of the Indian. When the buffalo vanished from the plains the Indian shot bls rifle Into tbe air, wrapped bls blanket closer about him and came Into tbe reservation to grow fat and unpictur- es<|ue under federal auspices. When tbe Jack rabbit aud molly cottontail vaulsh from the plains and foothills the howl of the last coyote will sink Into silence beyond tbe great divide. Until that far day arrives, however, hung tbe bacon high, for while the rab bit remains the most skillful four legged forager the world ever knew will bay at the moon by night and Just keep out of rifle range by day. The coyote knows more about traps than n Canadian “voyageur," 1» an expert on strychnine and uever falls for tbe deadfull. He Is rather fond of lambs and calves, but rabbits are tbe oat meal of this phantom highlander, and, as "Diamond Field" Jack Davis would say, "where two or three of these are gathered together there you will find the coyote, seeking to stow one of them into his midst’*—Philadelphia Tele graph. Fooled the Critics. "Beerbohtu Tree,” said a Philadel phia critic, “at tbe beginning of bls ca reer undertook tbe part of the blind Colonel Challlce in ‘Alone.’ Tree was a very nervous man lu those days. He was always forgetting tils lines. But as the blind colonel he seemed destined to be fiartlculurly nervous, and there fore he arranged with the prompter that on the first night, whenever he forgot a speo h, he should snap his fingers as a signal for help. "The first night came, and Tree for got his lines continually. Ills fingers snapped all through the show like an unending package of firecrackers. lie thought bls career was doomed, but the next morning all tbe critics said of him unanimously: " 'Mr. Tree's artistic study of the blind Colonel Chaldee was a revelation. Never liefore have tbe habits and thoughts of the blind been so carefully analyzed and so faithfully [xirtraycd The entire study was [lerfect, even down to the nervous twitching of the fingers aud tbe anxious listening, ns though loss of sight made bearlug all the more dear.’ ” No Wond»r H» Wai Disgusted. It was on the Peary north pole ex pedition that an Eskimo came Into possession of a piece of wire. Never having seen wire liefore. he asked Pro fessor D. B. McMillan wbat it was for. “White men string it on poles struck Into the ground, and by talkiug Into an Instrument at one end tbe voice can be heard on tbe other,” he was told by Professor McMillan. The next morn ing somebody called to Peary and the other memliers of the expedition to come out and watch the Eskimo. He was sticking some forked poles luto the ground and banging bls piece of wire on top of them. He next held one end of the wire to his mouth and talked to It at the top of bls voice. Then he hurried to the other end and held the wire to bls ear. expecting to hear bls own words repeated. When he failed to hear any sound he looked at hla white friends In disgust.—Chi cago Tribune. Snails Are Queer Creatures. The snail la found everywhere, over 3.00(1 apetlea being known. Some of the large tropical snails, as bullmas, form neats of leaves, tbelr eggs tielng as large as a pigeon's. The snail is ex tremely skillful In mending its shell, and some curious experiments may be made wltb them. Thus 1 have seen a bellx of a yellow species attached to another shell of u reddish hue by cut ting off the top whirl of tbe latter, when the snail will proceed to weld the two shells together and occupy both, using tbe addition as a door Hnd possibly wondering at this sudden ex tension of Its house. In the winter some of tbe snails hibernate or lie dor mant until warm weather. A snail of the Philippine Islands has a faculty of throwing off its tall when seised. This Is also true of a West Indian variety, ateuophus.—London Telegraph. When a Burglar Calls at Night. "If a burglar breaks into your bouse nt night don’t try to corner him,” said an old headquarters policeman. “If the visitor awakens you make noise enough to scare him away, but dou't go after him with a gun. Ten to one he'll 'get' you Ix'fore you can hit him. It's better to lose ii few dollars' worth of goods than your life. I'm giving it to you straight.
