Placing the basket on the counLer, she made various purchases, which she put carefully in the pot, and had her bill made out. •'By the way," she said before paying: ibis, "do you mind keeping this pot ■With the purchases in it until 1 come back and pay for 1 hem. as I have to f»n.\ other tilings some distance "ft. and it will be more convenient for me to leave the things here till later?" This request was willingly acceded to, ajid, lifting the pot carefully out the basket, the old dame placed it. iwith an effort, in a corner; then, plac ing her basket on her arm, left the shop. Hours went by, day ripened into evening, and evening gave way 'to night, but the old woman did not return. At last the proprietor thought of examining the earthenware pot to Hue if by any chance it bad its owner's ftddress upon it, and great was his as itnnisliment, not nntinged with dis may, to lind that it possessed no bot tom. —London Answers. Witchcraft In the Nineteenth Century. *lost people believe that witchcraft among civilized people ended when the "Salem witch mania" ran its course and died out In the year 1092. It did as far as America is concerned, except among savages, but in other countries the belief in the superstition did not die until a much later date, even if it can be truly said to be dead now. In France an old beggar was tortured to death as late as 1807 on the charge of being one who "communed with evil spirits." and In Spain a witch was burned in ISOB. In 1850 in France a man and his wife tortured a suspected witeli to death, and nothing at till was done with them by the criminal courts on account of the lingering belief in sorcery. Four years later a witch was drowned i:i England, and in 18(10 one was burned in Mexico. In 1874, 1879, 1880 and again in 1889 witches were publicly burned in Russia, and even as late as IS9O regular judicial trials of witches were had in Prussia, Po land and Austria-Hungary. Hoped He Wouldn't Grow. \ well known member of parliament was addressing an agricultural meet ing in tiie south of England and in the course of his remarks expressed the opinion that farmers do not sufliciently vary their crops and make a mistake iu always sowing wheat. One of the audience opposed to him in politics asked him what crops he would recommend. "Everything in turn," he replied. "Weil." said his interlocutor, "if swedes don't rune up, what then?" "Sow illusion]," said the M. I'. \i l if : listard doesn't come up, what then?" And so lie went on through a whole list of crops until, the M. P.'s patience being exhausted, he put :in end to his questioning amid roars of laughter by ,'m tying: "Oh. .sow yourself, and 1 hope you W il't COUiO lip." Circumstantial Evidence.
