XXXIII.
THE TALISMAN.
At Chatrapur lived four poor friends, who, being in great distress and sorely puzzled how to eke out a livelihood, met at a certain spot to devise means for bettering their condition. They thereupon performed severe austerities to the Kali of the place, who, being pleased with them, appeared to them and asked them what they wanted. They asked her to confer riches and happiness on them. The Goddess thereupon gave each of them a talisman, which was to be carried on the head. They were told to go in a northerly direction, and wherever the talisman fell from the head to dig there, and take whatever came to each person's lot. The four friends set out on their errand, and went a certain distance, when the talisman of the first person fell from his head. When the spot was dug into, an enormous quantity of copper was found. The first man saw the others, and said that he was quite content with his lot, and ​stopping ikere, he carried the copper home. After travelling a little more distance, the talisman of the second man fell from his head. The spot was dug into, and an enormous quantity of silver was found. He followed the action of the first friend, and desisted from going any farther. The other two travelled for some time longer, when the talisman on the head of one of them fell off. When the spot was dug into, ail enormous quantity of gold was found. He, thereupon, told the last friend not to proceed any further, as, with the quantity of gold found, both of them could live happily. But he gave a deaf ear to the advice, and went on for some time longer, till the talisman fell from his head. The spot was dug into, and a quantity of iron was found. He was overcome with grief at his lot, and regretting the neglect of his friend's advice he retraced his steps. But, alas, in this he was sorely disappointed, for lie was not able to find his friend. Thereupon immersed in grief he tried to get at the iron that had fallen to his lot, but he was not able to find the iron. Very sorry for his lot, he ​came back to the town and lived once more by begging.
Moral:—A person who. hears not the advice tendered by his most intimate friends will surely come to grief.

# Folk-Lore/Volume 29/Obituary/Clement Arthur Miles

OBITUARY.
Mr. CLEMENT ARTHUR MILES.
Mr. Miles, who died on 2nd February, 1918, was a member of the Folk-Lore Society. He had been for many years on Mr. T. Fisher Unwin’s literary staff, and had recently been working for the Friends’ War Victims’ Relief Committee. He was author of an important work: Christmas: in Ritual and Tradition. He possessed a wide knowledge of European languages, translated Sabatier’s Modernism and other works from the French, and was co-translator from the Italian of Gayda’s Modern Austria: Her Racial and Social Problems. His early death at the age of 37 frustrates the promise of a distinguished career.
# Folk-Lore/Volume 28/Witchcraft in Great Britain

CORRESPONDENCE.
Witchcraft in Great Britain.
(Ante, pp. 228-258.)
It is a matter of much regret to me that I was unable to hear Miss Murray’s striking paper on the Organization of Witches in Great Britain, on the 18th April last. Miss Murray’s evidence of the existence of secret societies for the practice of pagan cults entirely accords with Grimm’s ascription of the origin of mediaeval witchcraft to the secret practice of heathen rites by persons who remained true to the ancient faith. (Deutsche Mythologie. 1007.) The suffix craft itself implies an organized society for the performance of “mysteries,” whether merely technical or quasi-religious.
With regard to Miss Murray’s last paragraph on page 248, may I draw her attention to Sir John Rhys’s discussion of the ancient Celtic seasonal year, in his Hibbert Lectures (1886). Sir James Frazer’s deduction that this division of the year dates from a period “when the Celts were mainly a pastoral people dependent for their subsistence on their herds,” is natural and probable. The same division still affects rustic life in many ways. Especially does it regulate the life of the cattle, who migrate from stall to pasture and from pasture to stall at the beginning of May and the beginning of November respectively, even in England at the present day.

# Folk-Lore/Volume 29/An Anglesey Superstition: Modes of Protection from Evil Spirits

An Anglesey Superstition: Modes of Protection from Evil Spirits.
For the following note the Editor is indebted to Sir James Frazer.
Twenty-five years ago an old man in one of the parishes of Anglesey invariably bore or rather wore a sickle over his neck—in the fields, and on the road, wherever he went. He was rather reticent as to the reason why he wore it, but he clearly gave his questioner to understand that it was a protection ​against evil spirits. This custom is known in Welsh as "gwisgo'r gorthrwm," which literally means "wearing the oppression." Gorthrwm=gor, an intensifying affix = super, and trwm = heavy, so that the phrase perhaps would be more correctly rendered "wearing the overweight." It is not easy to see the connection between the practice and the idea either of overweight or oppression; still, that was the phrase in common use.
For a similar reason, that is, protection from evil spirits during the hours of the night, it was and is a custom to place two scythes archwise over the entrance-side of the wainscot bed found in many of the older cottages of Anglesey. It is difficult to find evidence of the existence of this practice to-day as the old people no doubt feel that it is contrary to their prevailing religious belief and will not confess their faith in the efficacy of a "pagan" rite which they are yet loth to abandon.

Signed by President Ronald Reagan Friday, August 30, 1985
Federal Register page & date: 50 FR 36033, Thursday, September 5, 1985
A dispute exists between the United Transportation Union and certain railroads represented by the National Carriers' Conference Committee of the National Railway Labor Conference designated on the list attached hereto and made a part hereof.
The dispute has not heretofore been adjusted under the provisions of the Railway Labor Act, as amended ("the Act").
This dispute, in the judgment of the National Mediation Board, threatens substantially to interrupt interstate commerce to a degree such as to deprive a section of the country of essential transportation service.
Now, Therefore, by the authority vested in me by Section 10 of the Act, as amended (45 U.S.C. 160), it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Establishment of Board. There is hereby established, effective August 30, 1985, a board of three members to be appointed by the President to investigate this dispute. No member shall be pecuniarily or otherwise interested in any organization of railroad employees or any carrier. The board shall perform its functions subject to the availability of funds.
Sec. 2. Report. The board shall report its finding to the President with respect to the dispute within 30 days from the date of its creation.
Sec. 3. Maintaining Conditions. As provided by Section 10 of the Act, as amended, from the date of the creation of the board and for 30 days after the board has made its report to the President, no change, except by agreement of the parties, shall be made by the carriers or the employees in the conditions out of which the dispute arose.
Sec. 4. Expiration. The board shall terminate upon the submission of the report provided for in Section 2 of this Order.
