The Vanishing Trick.
. i.ato thf grocer's shop walked an an
ci'ent lady with ;; slow ami halting
tread and carrying on her arm a bas
ket containing a large earthenware pot
with a lid. 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."
