Hindoo Witchcran.

AL Hindoos believe in witchcraft,
and, in strange contrast to the old be-
levers in witchery, they believe that
young and pretty maidens are the chief
actors in such uncanny nummery. II
crops are blighted, or If a general sick
ness prevails, they write the narpes of
all the young women of the vicinity on
separate tree branches and then i'm
merse the stems Of the twigs for four
hours and half in solution of holy
water and aromatic herbs II one or
more of the twigs wither during the
specified time, the Young women whose
name or names are attached thereto are
immediately pat TO death Thus the
influence Of the witch is counteracted,
the crops saved and health restored
