Mme. Tulle, the woman in the case,
was the wife of a saloonkeeper at }lose-

ever 100 souls, near Rouen. She is ir-

eyes and a shrill voice. Pierre Ferqueres
was the village blacksmith,' a big, lum-
bering, slow-witted fellow. Both are

"Oh, indeed," said she on one of these
occasions, "he is attentive enough when

"So," explained Pierre, "pot wanting
to seem more of a fool than I am,. the

all that, "because," as she told Pierre,
"then weeabuld get married."
"One evening," the man told the jury,

HAD TO FLY FOR THEIR LIVES.
How stories of this kind get abroad
it is seldom possible to discover, but
every one who has lived in the East
knows how readily they are swallowed
by an ignorant and ,credulous people.
No invention is too prosperous to find
believers. Sometimes the gossip of on
Indian bazaar is that the Government
requires quantities of human blood
wherewith to anoint the foundations ot
a bridge or other public building' which
iz 'is about to erect. Every family in
the district will be in a fever of appre-
hension lest its children shall be • seized
and murdered for "the purpose. Many.
old travellers relate instances of such
panics, which have also occurred Within
quite recent times.
In some parts of the Punjab people ,
have gone in terror of the "Mummy e
Sahib," an atrocious' European. who is
supposed to abstract his-victires' brains '
through a hole bored in their skull, us- a
ing the extract the preparation of n n
particularly valuable and efficacious
medicine. The "Mummy Sahib" is re- (e:
puted to pay *a. .fee to the 'Government "
for license to ;carry on his nefarious
trade. Not many years ago a native of- a

all directions and the traffic slaugh-
