Modern Witchcraft.
How many English readers who hare
read the witch trial of Vienna know
that just such women as Marie Nebily,
performing Just such tricks, are to be
found in England? Marie seems to
have surprised the Austrian judge by
her story of the Hungarian shepherd.
Stephan Stephanovlcs, who Is ninety
years old and who sells charms sad In
whom she believes. He mads the re?
mark, which we have so often heard
before, that the world ls not In the mid?
dle ages. But the Judge is wrong. A
great part of mankind ls in tbe middle
ages, If by that is meant tbat lt be?
lieves In witchcraft. Tbs credulous
Austrian woman who thought that her
husband could be cured of extrava?
gance If she gave a half of one of his
socks to Marie Nebily, who would then
for a small consideration in ready mon?
ey give a powder to cure him of spend?
thrift habits, has many French and
English fellow believers. White and
black witches thrive In many parts of
England. And what is more, they not
only make dupes, but not a few of
them really believe In their own
charms, as the woman Nebily asserted
that she did.?London Outlook.
