Is is curious that in the isle Of

this We may mention that a writer
In The Mona 8 Herald newspaper OF
Jan. "a, 1914, In commenting ON a
famous witchcraft case which had
recently been adjudicated upon, re-
marked, according to popular be-
lief, if the witch swears he has not
done it and does not wish to do it,
he cannot witch again. Another
curious and novel idea is that it was.
supposed to be possible to manufac-
ture witch. The method of doing
so was given to our informant by an
old man about the year 1875. who
said that he had it from the victim
herself, then an old woman. An old
woman who had practiced witch
craft and charms during a great
part of her life had grown very fee
BILE, and so, being wishful to endow
her daughter with similar powers,
made her go through the following
performance:

OF clean water. The girl was made.
TO undress and go into the water.
and after thoroughly washing her
self TO get ont and wrap herself in
the sheet. While she stood in the
sheet she had to repeat after her
mother q number of words, the ex-
act nature of which, as she was In
an abject state of terror. she had
forgotten, only remembering that
their general purport was that she
swore TO give up all belief in the Al
migh6y's power and to trust in that
of the evil one instead. The old
woman died soon afterward, but the
girl made no attempt TO practice the
attributes with which she was sup
posed to have been endowed "
If cattle were supposed to be be-
witched, it was customary, till quite
recently, to burn one of the herd,
usually calf, both for the proteo-
ton of the others and to detect the.
bewitcher, for it was supposed that
while the animal was being burned
he would be certain to appear en- the
spot, and if he could not get the ami
mails heart into his possession he
lost his power in the future. Tt was
believed that if cattle which died of
disease were buried one would be.
lost for each one so treated. Dust
was also efficacious in such cases.
Thus Train remarked that IF a
person supposed to have the evil eye
passed by herd of cattle and one.
of them were taken suddenly i'll the
owner of the cattle would hasten
after him and take the dust from
his shoes If possible, or, If not. from
the ground he had just trodden, and
apply it to the sick beast, or even if
an animal were taken i'll without
any one endowed with the evil eye
having passed near it it would prob
ably be cured by the dust from the
threshold of person close by who
was VIGOROUSLY possessor of the
evil eye. ''-Antiquary.
