Missionary. Cured
By Witch Doctor
Dr: Hagberg Wright, of the London
Library, has recently been emphasiz-
ing "the curative uses of books." .And,
of course, most doctors already k OW
that a patient who is well supe
ed
with interesting reading matter is
happier, and therefore more likely to
benefit by treatment, than one 'who
isn't.
But books have sometimes been
credited with more direct powers of
cure. There are districts in North
Wales, for instance, where the old be-
lief that touching the Bible is an in-
fallible cure for certain diseases still
lingers on.
It's just as reasonable, of course, to
believe in the Bible as "medicine," as
to pin your faith to a cat's skin or a
string of beads. A cat's skin, which
was supposed to be a charm against
catching cold, was one of the exhibits
in a collection exhibited at the South -
dark Museum recently. And there
are London women who believe that
wearing a string of blue bends affords
them protection from bronchitis.
Jungle "Doctors" Are Up to Date.
Not only does the belief in charms
of this sort persist, in spite of Educa-
tion Acts, but there are still witch -
doctors who ply their trade in Lon-
don's East End. Their clients call
them "wise omen," but their methods
are pretty much the same as those of
their confreres of the African jungle.
In one case, which came to the
writer's notice recently, a woman,
whose husband was very ill, consulted
one of these "wise men." She was
told to burn her husband's clothes
and get new ones, "so that the angel
of death might not recognize him."
This -failing to effect a cure, the "wise
man" decided that it was necessary to
]till a pure white cock at midnight.
While London's "wise men" thus
employ the ancient spells and charms,
the African witch -doctors appear to
be moving with the times. It was re-
cently announced that they were form-
ing a "trade union" in order to pro-
tect their interests, and missionaries
are telling some strange stories about
new "cures" which are the very last
word in jungle medicine,
In one case, according to a mission-
ary, a native who was very ill, being
unable to speak or to move his limbs,
was given "medicine" made by mix-
ing powdered gramophone record with
water from a locomotive. The witch -
doctor who invented this novel treat-
ment explained that the engine water
was to make his patient move, and the
record dust to make him talk. And
the patient did move and talk after a
course of this treatment.

CHILDREN
CRY FOR IT—
Who hath beheld her footprints,
Or the pathway she goes`?
Tell me, wind, tell me, wheat,
Which of you knows?
Sleeps she swathed in the flushed Arc-
tic
Night of the rose?
Or lie her limbs like Alp -glow
On the lily's snows?
Gales, that are all -visitant,
Find the runaway;
And for him who findeth her
(I do charge you say)
I will throw largesse of broom
Of this summer's mintage,
I will broach a honey -bag
Of the bee's best vintage.
Breezes, wheat, flowers sweet,
None of them knows!
How then shall we lure her back
From the way she goes?
When the bird flits the cage,
We set the cage outside,
With seed and with water,
And the door wide,
Haply we may win it so
Back to abide.
Another thing a man and his wife

mustn't give up hope so soon. Where
do you live?"
Boy—"Don't know. W—we've just
moved and I can't remember the ad-
dress."
Old Gent — "Well, what's your
name?"
Boy—"D-don't know."
Old Gent—"'Don't know?"
Boy—"No, M -mother got married

Hang her cage of earth out
O'er Heaven's sunward wall,
Its four gates open, winds in watch
By reined care at all;
Relume in hanging hedgerows
The rain -quenched blossom,
And roses sob their tears out
On the gale's warm heaving bosom;
Shake the lilies till their scent
Over -drip their rims,
That our runaway may see
We do know her whims:
Sleek the tumbled waters out
For her travelled limbs;
Strew and smooth blue night thereon,
There will -0 not doubt her!—
The lovely sleepy lady lie
With all her stars about her!

Geld -Mining in Wales
It is well known that gold was work-
ed profitably in several parts of this
country in the time of the Romans,
and in more recent years Scotland
produced the whole of the gold used
in making the Scottish Regalia.
Most of the old mines have been
lost, but In Wales there are still
traces of Roman aqueducts and div-
erted watercourses in the Mawddach
Valley, and gold quartz has been dis-
covered. Mining 'operations on a
small scale were carried on in Meri-
onethshire until about twenty years
ago, and about half a million pounds'
worth of gold has been extracted from
them since 1851. Both the Queen and
Princess Mary have wedding rings
of Welsh gold.
A, memorandum has been present-
ed to the Government asking for a
searching inquiry into the prospect of
developing a Welsh goldfield, Min-
ing experts who have examined the
district say that there is to -day an
area of 250 square miles in North
Wales which contains as good a show
of gold -bearing quartz as any other
area of similar size. With modern
methods and modern machinery it is
possible that Wales may develop a
thriving gold industry.

Prevent Shoe Soles from
Each Witness Gives Wearing Out Quickly
DifferentVersion Painting the soles of shoes will pre -
shoesthe leather very well. For old
shoes put 3 coats of ordinary black
finish paint, allowing each to dry for
43 hours. If the shoes are new, so
that the finish on the soles is intact,
roughen the surface with fine sand-
paper before painting. Some of the
paint will then be able to penetrate.

'Page is a man who
off to nobodY."
New proof of the almost complete
unreliability of the testimony of by-
standers to something that happens,
even though it is the custom of law
• courts to rely almost exclusively on
such testimony, is supplied by an ex-
periment conducted some years ago
by a Boston lawyer, Mr. George G.
Crocker, and recently published with
critical comments by Dr. Walter
Franklin Prince, Research'. Officer of
the Boston Society for Psychic Re-
search. In Mr. Crocker's experiment,
twenty responsible business men and
lawyers of Boston served as witnesses
of a little playlet acted by Mr. Crock-
er and three assistants. In. this play-
let an oral order was given to a
broker concerning the purchase of
some stock and was repeated wrongly
by the broker. In addition one of the
actors laid down a pocketbook, which
was picked up and carrie- off by an-
other actor. A third actor brushed
somewhat violently against the man
who lost the pocketbook but took no-
thing from him. After all this, the
twenty witnesses were asked each to
'write down independently his account
of what he had seen and heard. As
was expected, all twenty accounts
were different. Worse still, not one of
the twenty witnesses, Dr. Prince
points out, saw tht, man who lost the
pocketbook lay that article on the
table. Not one witness saw the actual
thief pick up the pocketbook. • Only
one witness noticed that the broker
repeated the stock order incorrectly-
and
ncorrectlyand `this one witness had the correc-
tion wrong. The moral for scientific
investigators, Dr. Prince remarks, is
"that the human senses may easily be
misled and betrayed amid the compli-
cations of even a bri;f incident."
In Summer When Childhood Ail-
ments Are Most Dangerous.
Mothers who keep a box of Baby's
Own Tablets in the house may feel
that the lives of their little ones are
reasonably safe during the hot weath-
er. Stomach troubles, cholera infan-
tum and diarrhoea carry off thousands
of little ones every summer, in most
cases because the mother does not
have a safe medicine at hand to give
promptly. Baby's Own. Tablets relieve
these troubles, or if given occasionally
to the well child they will prevent their
coming on. The Tablets aro guaran-
teed to be absolutely harmless even
to the newborn babe. They are especi-
ally good in summer because they re-
gulate the bowels and keep the stom-
ach sweet and pure. They are sold by
medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents
a box from The Dr, Williams' Medicine
Co., Brockville, Ont.
Hermits of the Calf
The Calf of Man is at. islet of 600
acres lying to the south-west of the
Isle of Man.
It is a bird -lovers' paradise, be
cause of the innumerable seabirds
which nest upon its cliffs. Apart from
those birds, the principal inhabitants
are rabbits, but there are one or two
houses.
It was recently announced that the
Calf was to be sold, and it has been
suggested that it should be acquired
by the Manx authori.ieS and develop-
ed under their control, but with due re-
gard to the "nesting rights" of the sea-
birds.
One or two hermits have made the
Calf of Man their home, and one of
them was among the earliest food re-
formers. This gentleman, who lived
in the reign of James I., has recorded
that he "resolved to make a perfect
experiment for the obtaining a long
and healthy life," by living on "herbs,
oil, mustard, and honey." This diet
he "most strictly observed" while on
the island, --Answers.
Paint Your Screens
1 have found painting screens with
a shinola brush a great time saver
over using the regular brush. One of
these brushes can be made by tacking
a piece of sheepskin or any nappy
material on a block of wood 6 or 7
inches long. Have your can of paint
or enamel handy, moisten the swab
with it and just go up and down the
screen. The Mesh will not clog up. A
small brush to get into the corners
the screens and to paint the frames is
also good.—Housewife.'

Hint to Jelly -Makers
Jelly makers who use paraffin to
cover their finished product often find
it difficult to clean up the drops that
run back from the ordinary saucepan
in which the paraffin has been melted,
and also to remove the last coating of
paraffin from the pan when the task
is finished, These difficulties can be
completely eliminated at the very
small cost of an individual sized alum-
inum or enamelware coffee-pot, in
which the paraffin can be melted and
from which it can be poured with ac-
curacy. By keeping the little coffee
pot exclusively for this purpose, there
will be no need to remove the surplus
paraffin; it can be left in the pot for
the next time of need. T,,lre covered
pot will keep it free from dust if the
user observes the added precaution to
cover the opening of the spout either
by inserting a cork or by trying a bit
of paper over it.
News stories exaggerate, and doubt-
less there are many Chicagoans who
have never been shot at.
