Snails are the Honuw i? l**<? of the
locusts which St. Johu' tho Baptist ate
when in the desert. Hut why witches
should try to take possession of lUmie
on tho night before his feast day Is
| a mystery. They do fly about on
hi'ooiiiKtlckH, says popular report, and
salt and a brooin alone will, keep them
out of homes.
By some hidden law which the
Romans themselves don't trjy to ac
count for, no witch will enter a house
before which stand a basin of salt and
a broom until she has counted every
grain of salt In the basin and all the
wisps In the broom, Ah the nights
are short In May tho witch gives up

never finish her Job before qunrUo;

An odd modern note Is g|V0li by an
enormous merry-go-round. opposite the
ancient church dedicated to St. John.
Its wooden horses go round and round
to American ragtimes, fox trots and
bunny-hugs. It is a mixture of old
and new worthy of that extraordinary
city, where till the centuries get Jum

way you might search the world for

I feasts wdre In honor of the wolf which
I fed Romulus and Renins*, the twin
founders oft-the city. A real live wolf
Is kept In the capitol till that day in
J memory of this One; for had there
been no wolf to feed the twins there
would be no Rome todatf, the Romans

I s It Pseudo-Science?
Human intellect is so partial lo a
generalization that even men of si-i

as far as In rvdily Is concerned is as
