TOLD TO MURDER HerCruel Uncle in a Dream Says Woman ON.WITNK8S STAND. * She Said That She Was Subject to Hallucination, a Voice Commanding Her to "Kill Him" Dreamed She was in the Presence of God. In New York las'! week Josephine Terrauova took the witness stand in her own behalf at her trial on the charge of having murdered her aunt. The defendant said that she came to this country when eight years old, going to live with her uncle and auul the Regglous. She Ih an Italian girl who told one of the?most awful tales of depravity and tne part of her un0 e and aunt, whom she dually killed ior the great wrong they had done her. "1 didn't go to church or to school she said, "for seven years after 1 came to America. My aunt and uncle would not let me. 1 wantfd to go. 1 did everything, washing, scrub bin#, everything and sometimes there were ten, eleven, sixteen boarders in the hi uie." "Do you remember one winter morning when you were about eleven and a half years old?1' she was asked. The girl replied that she did; that her aunt had taken her to the uucle's room that day. "That is what I am on trial here about," she added. As f.ho i*< rl fnl/3 rvt * - uu 11,111 vuia ui iici u 11 uit; a oruatment a woman spectator fainted. The girl hesitated in giving her testimony Baylug that she was ashamed to speak it. She said that her aunt had forced her to obey h>r uncle and had heat her, breaking a stick during one of the whippings, and making the witness so sick that she went to bed. The girl said she was never permitted to play with other children and was forbidden to talk English or associate with the boarders in the house. She said she wanted to go to her mother but was not permitted to. The witness said that her husband was led to suspect what her relations with her uncle had been, because of & remark which the latter made. She declared that her uncles mistreatment covered a period of about six years and that it coutluued up to and including the night after her civil marriage to Terranova. She told of the circumstances which led her to kll the ui.cle, Gaetano, and her aunt, Concetta. S le said that her husband after listening to her confession told her thai she wis no longer his wife and thereupon leit her. Sue remained alone during the following ten days, sul j ct, she said to the Influence of hallucinations in which her uncle appealed. Wheneve- he appeared a voice sa'd "kill Mm."

Attheendof ten days, the girl aald ahe went to her mother's house and was turned awav. Then the mysterious voices became more insistent and their directions more pointed, telling her to buy a knife and a revolver and kill. When armed on her way to their house for this purpose, Bhe said ahe. had crossed herself three times and prayed to know whether she was doing right. She confronted her uncle, calling him "traitor," and he replied: "You are an outcast." "She remembered little of her attack, but asserted that she began to stab when her aunt came between ber and Gaetano. She did not remember which one struck first. Under cross examination the witness said she had been unable to run away from her uncle's treatment, a) she desired to. Her aunt, she said, had told her that there was no harm in her relations with her uncle. Justice Scott, who Ir hpftrlr?Lf t.ho njor ni.ontinn.

Dried llccl Hoi-ho Moat, Otlioeraof the secret service at Mall a nave been engaged in an lnvtKulgation of the alleged killing of diseased hursts for food purposes. They found that the practice existed in several places between Manila and Caloocan, the product having been sold in the form of '"dried beef." Instructions have been given from Wasnington, which will enable the operatois of the information division of the constabulary, co-operating with the health authorities, to break up such unsanitary practices. The report on the case, showing the extent of the business, has been submitted to the war department. The constabulary oftiolals at Manilla have taken prompt, and what promises to be effective, action in the matter. Evkky man Iras a right to think for hinrself, work for his own interest and uo a| number of similar seltish things, but after all the tilings that give the most pleasure when looking backward is the good we have done others. * , , \ v * BREAD SUPERSTITIONS. l>?KMiliar One* Still Premll In R?r?l Frauo*. There are some curious superstitions about baking bread la the coumekof religious seaum* wlikt seem no easy to prove fallacious that one has difficulty in understanding why they are still be* lieved. One would think that some ilay a mistake would occur and the discovery he made that there was no force In them. Probably, owing to the constitution of the believers, the failure of the expected result would he uscribcd to some supernatural cause rather than the real one, and tin? belief would be continued. Most of these superstitions are found in France, the greatest bread eating country on the globe. For Instance, In upper Brittany bread baked on Good Friday, it is do elared, becomes black. In Charante It Is held that he who eats of bread baked on All Souls' day will become diseased. The (lames will burst out of the oven In one's face if bread is baked on the feast of St. Nicholas, say the good people at Aube, so it is not. 1 done. In Burgundy the people believe that if bread is baked in the course of ltogation week all bread baked during the remainder of the year will turn moldy. The Inhabitants of the Black mountains believe the same thing. The Sicilians refuse to bake on Good Friday, because they fear that in some manner they will burn the Saviour. The beliefs which other Europeans used to have in early times demonstrate how Illogical Is all this superstition. These used to think tlmt lirnnil bukod on (Jood Friday would not grow moldy, and tho hot cross bun was Included In tills belief. Some one Ims shrewdly suggested that the spice preserved them. A piece of bread baked on this holy day, perhaps because of Its holy character, was supposed to have miraculous powers If preserved. The house containing It would not catch tire. It was useful for preventing whooping cough and If fed to cattle ill of certain diseases would cure them. The natural deduction from all this Is that In one country bread baked on a certain day will work ill and that baked in another on the same day will work good, which means that bread baked on that day Is about the same as bread baked on any other.?New York Tribune.

Colonial diaries and letters make It plain that our unfortunate ancestors suffered much from Jumping toothI aches, swelled faces and the early loss I or forellne extraction of teeth which at u later period might have been saved to render their owners many years of further service. No wonder, since the care of the teeth was little understood, and that little often but negligently j practiced. Toothpicks were known; the tooth1 brush was not% although rough substitutes were employed, made of (latteuI ed sticks, split and pounded at one end to a stiff, fibrous fringe. Toothbrushes when first Introduced were regarded as by no means important accessories to the toilet, but rather as minor luxuries and suitable for women only. The diary of a London merchant trading to the colonies has this entry: "Bought a Toothbrush for my wife, wlieh, used together with salte water, very strong, and a wasshe of Herbs, she is told will keep her Teethe from falling out or getting hollowe. The salte and Ilerbes mnv woll " ' l',,M strengthening to her (iumtnes well, are tender, but for the brush It hpoiiics but a silly Toy, hardly like to ware the worth of its price and scarce cleanley save when new. But she must have It, being a new thing late from France." In the famous collection of the letters of the Yerney family, as well, the toothbrush Is referred to as "an elegant ttitle, now used by the ladies of Paris." But when Sally Annis, a colonial belle, wrote of it to her sister she had, like the London merchant's wife, good hopes of its proving of more than trilling value. Her seafaring father had just brought her one, along with other gifts. "Besides these, and ye smalle combe, he brt. me a new mouth-brush made of eyvory," she wrote, "the back purte inlayed very pretty with silver: and ye brissles long and stille and sett very flrme: wch lie is assured will help 1 me of my Tooth Akes: wch. yoir will guess deer .Fudy I do pray it may."?
