storm had passed away froth severe head -
'ache and nervous prostration. There is an
extensive deposit of red hermatite iron ore

and it is probable that it attracted the

the ordinary drains and &murals were not

At Hiwayr near Mons, 'Belgium, lived a

.tendered by the seer would scarcely' be
believed in Devonshire, where superstition
is still is plant of pretty hardy growth. "Go
home,"- he said to the peasant, "and to-
morrow morning burn the first person who
masses, your doorstep. . That person will
have been the cause of your. ills. I will
take care that God sends him." The
•tountrynean went home as directed, and
with the aid of his spouse, prepared a kind
of funeral pile in the biggest room of his
house. Early next morning arrived a
teighbor, a kind-hearted woman, who had
rendered all Aorta of service to the pair.
*Notably,she had nursed their child during

its last llness, The • peasant exclaimed:
"Ah!• it's you. Inaight have thought so,

bolted the door, lifter which she set fire to
