Twentieth    Century    Sorceress    Who
Has Surprised Civilized Humanity.
Is it possible that witches still exist and find credulous victims to cozen and fleece? It is true the voodoo
"woman may be found in the south
and the medicine man is not yet extinct among the Indian tribes, yet
they are believed to be survivals only
possibly among the uncivilized of the
negro and Indian people, says the
Springfield Republican. Yet the real
witch with the caldron in which she
brews her magic philters, with her
spells and curses, are things so wholly of the past that it is a shock to
read of a sorceress having been arrested in fair Perugia Perhaps the
account is the invention of a newspaper reporter bound to produce a
sensation for the benefit of his journal. However that may be, the story
is a good one.
It sets forth, with a due care for
details, the maze of alleys in a suburb
of the city, where a house whose
doors are closed to all but women who
seek powerful love potions to bring
back the affections of lost lovers, or
fatal drafts that shall properly preserve faithless husbands—shelters
a famous sorceress.
Rumors having got about concerning the unholy rites and ceremonies
practiced in that house, the police,
so the story goes, gain admittance
through a pretext, seize the witch
and search the premises and find its
walls hung with mysterious symbols,
human skulls and bones, heads of
various animals, strange weapons,
many books of evil import, full of Incantations and spells and other aids
such as witches are supposed to use.
The woman, who was old and supposed to be fabulously wealttiy, was
seized and all her paraphernalia collected and conveyed away for trial
and all Perugia, and presumably
Italy, is supposed to he in a state of
suspense until the worst is known.
Supposing this tale true, what would
he an adequate punishment for a
witch? In the good old times, so much
lamented, there would have been but
one end possible. The witch would
have been burned at the stake. But
in 1908 a term of imprisonment is
probably the worst that could happen,
and that would be a flat ending of
the story. But the days of what is
called romance are over.
Novels and-the Digestion.
Should you read" novels at meals or
should you talk? - Which" is the better
for digestion? There's-^a common subject for hot-weather discussion on
piazzas of summer hotels.' One person
3ays: "Don't read at meals, especially
an.exciting novel, as it interferes indirectly with digestion. One's mind is
fixed intently on the book, when all attention should be given to the process
of mastication; consequently the
blood which should be helping digestion is rushed from the head."
"A tranquil condition of mind and
body "is needed to insure perfect digestion. I think it- is far better for
one to dine in company. When the
diner talks he naturally prolongs the
meal, thus giving more time for the
food to be digested."
"PittsburghPerfect"
Fences The Best Because
I. Stays;are Electrically Welded to the strands forming a perfect union
and an amalgamation with the strands riot" found in any other fence.
..2. All stay wires are made as heavy as intermediate line wires. A
fence, like a chain, is only as strong as the lightest material in it. Think
this over-caref ully. .
3.   No wraps to get loose, to hold moisture and cause rust.
i.   No projections to injure stock or tear wool from sheep.
5. Stronger at the joints than any other fence.    Welded together with
electricity.
6. Guaranteed that the wire is not injured at the joints.
Guaranteed adjustable to!uneven ground. • ; '.    .,
Guarinteed that stays will riot separate |rom joints.
Guaranteed all right in every particular.
Made by the most modern process and on the latest improyed  machinery.
II. ftlq^t of the weak points jn ofiher fences; $r<3ion apcount of  the way
ho stays are fastened,
Our stays are amalgamatdd with the strands by means of electricity- and
the strength of tho fence increased a hundredfold over the strength of a
fence where the stays are wrapped or clipped on the strands.
""JCou may pay more money for otherroffces but you cannot get as good a
fence as "Pittsburgh Perfect."
