Odessa and St. Petersburg papers published a singular document, which is nothing less than a formal treaty between one Ljasjkerich, the rausger of an estate in the gererament of Kiss, and a neighbouring peasant woman who passed for a very powerful wilch. He grently feared a blight for his crop of bestenot, and for the honar. O arium of 18 roubles she andertock to ward of the danger by her magical spots, after the 2lat; May. Should the blight reappear, she was to be bound to repeat the inosutatious gratis. Que portion of the encluutment consisted in the witah's walking over the endangered fields at night in a costume the meag renesa of which may be more easily imagiand thou described,
Although there was be no doubt of the large increase in the consumption of tabases in Epg. land during the last few years, it is still taot that the average Enlishaan gets thath less tobacco in a year than the inhabitants of other Europeau natinas. The greatest smokers aro the Belgians, who consunk on an average 550 lbs. of tobace for avery 100 inhabitant while in England the conarmption is only 183 Ibs, par 100 of the population. The natinas which stand next on the fist are Holland. Germany.

It is said that the mufacture of spurious diamonds, of the kind known as "doablets," is exeredingly ancient. The method of man faotaring them, raotised by the celebrated Zocofing, was to procure a thin flake of an in- ferior stone, with as little colour as possible. As a bottom for the artificial gom be took a hit of crystal, and covered it with a transpareat glue. in which was wixed the colouring matorial neers- ry to imitate the finest specimen. Upon this basis ha superimposed the flake of cheap diamond, and su artfully concealed the joining of the two that even the cleverest Ixpiduries were deceived. The Singhalese are experts ia sach frands, which in many cases, especially when both parts are really diamonds are very ditult to dafent. Fre quantly a cinator of diamonds will contain several doublots, and in recklaces are often found 20 per cent of such questionable stones. Doublets are sometimes so artistically made that only the test of apocite gravity will show that they are false. To by diamonds, therefore, of irreponsiblo persons particularly who they are offurad at a temptingly low prico. would be the height of folly, since the chagens ars that spacious stones would be palmed off on the unwary.

A good story comes from the Eastern couns ties of England. Is Ipswich there are two daily papare, ono which has been in existendo for a considerable time, and noother which was until Iataly a bi-weekly publication. The consequence of the bi-weekly's enterprise has been 11 brisk war between it and the older daily, and the new venture has lately been the victim of a most amusing bear which is commorly believed to have been sprung apen it by the "oppost tion rag." The new paper received a comñjuni. cation from a correspondent giving an accound of a great archeological "find" which had been anearthed ka some excavations in a small country town. This was a large stone of ́s povaliar shape. It was cleaned with great care, and then it was discovered to bear an apparently very an cient inscription, which the local sechmologiais had, up till then, Exiled to translate. The corres To pendent thought if the inscription were publish ad "in your widely circulated columne” it was ponibla Rome and more versed in ancient lore would be able to decipher it. The inscription run as follows: For cattleter mbth sirst ern saga inst.” This was really very thin, and a hoax of almost es ancient a kind as the inscription was supposed to be, but the news paper in questing unsuspicionsly swallowed the
