SIClLlAN CIVILIZATION.
1t Is Less Advanced Than That OF other
Portions of italy,

In proportion as Sicily is less ad-
vanced in civilization than Italy, so is
superstition here more obstinate and
childish. One of the strangest beliefs of
the peasantry Is that the soul has its
residence in the pit of the stomach, and
that to its struggles to escape from i'm
prlsonment are due the prolonged ago
MES OF the dying, especially in old age.
On issuing from its confinement the
spirit enters straight way some other
body conveniently situated for the trans
Ter, and there are women 1.-THE cases Of
mon, 1T is asserted, are rarer) in whose
stomachs tho souls of their father, their
mother, and choice number of rela-
tives are said to have found simultan-
eously an abiding place. The pains
caused by these contending spirits and
the varying moods and influences for
good or evil to which the unhappy body,
which II the battlefield of so many
warning forces is subject clearly prove
this. Where rascality and beneficonce,
hatred and loving kindness dominate
alternately one and the same man, is it
not clear that divers spirits have entered
into him? psychological thesis sup
ported, indeed, by the testimony of
Holy Writ.
The case OF y peasant, the Giro Spe-
dalieri, condemned in 1886 to eight
years imprisonment for having be-
witched another peasant, and caused
him frightfulephysical agonies, shows
that superstition is not confined to the
lower classes. The most comical illus
tration Of this was given me at Palermo
In the story of certain pious Marchesa,
whose husband lay grievously sick. His
doctor ordered him certain pills, which
he duly swallowed, until one, larger and
harder than the rest, stuck in his throat
Having pulled it out he discovered it
was piece Of paper rolled tightly up
to represent pill His better half had
substituted printed prayer to the Vir-
| gin, in the firm conviction that he
would derive more benefit thereby than
any drugs. The grandmother of my
friend, General S., remembered and de-
/ scrlbed seeing woman and priest as
her accomplish in witchcraft, burned at
! the stake in the public place at Palermo.
AS to the belief which prompts the MUIR
derer or robbcr to offer up fervent invo-
cations at the shrine of his patron saint
for help and for pardon before the COM
mission of a crime, this parody of piety
is most offensive, as it is the common
est form of superstition still rife in Sici-
ly. Madonna and the saints can be
squared to connive at any thing if they
are only humbly entreated. Nineteenth

The women never let us forget that

Most of these vanes were made many
years ago by an old man who took great
delight in carving the queer figures and
planning their arrangement SO they
would go through various motions. 1t

it, on his own barn, and then when he
became satisfied that it worked proper

the farmer who had ordered it.
There is one which still stands guard
over barn that has long since been de-
serted by its owners, who have left the
lonely farm to seek their fortunes at the
West 1t is the figure of soldier, whose
uniform is greatly faded from years OF
exposure, but whose gun still indicates
the quarter from which the wind is
blowing by its position. Its evolutions

farmers say, backing or hauling" are
quite interesting.
There are animals of different kinds,
such as cows, horses, pigs and bears,
which are used as vane-fgures and
point with their heads, legs, or tails as
the case may be. One figure of horse,
which has long since left its best days
behind it, presents startling effect

been inserted in place of the old wooden
