WITCH WREATHS
SUPERSTITION WHICH

A remarkable object illustrating a
popular survival Of the belief in witch
craft has Just been presented to the
Museum of the University of Pennsyl-
vania by Professor William Romaine
NewbOld. 1t consists of a matted ring
of chicken feathers. about three inches
in diameter, described as a witch
wreath" 1t was secured by DR.. George
B. Kline, of Pittsburg, who gave it to
DR.. Newbold, who transferred it to the
muse um.
A resident of Pittsburg, who had
been i'll for several years, died in July,
1897. During his last illness, extending
over several months. he would fire.
quently throw his pillow away, saying:
There is something in that pillow that
hurts my head" His wife said that this
was impossible, as she had gathered
the feathers and made the pillow her
self few years ago. Some days after
her husbands death the widow claimed
that something seemed TO say to her:
Look at the pillow" Upon opening
the pillow she found this object within
it. When questioned closely she de-
clared that the sewing was hers, and
that ii showed no signs Of having been

in the woman's truthfulness.
DR.. Kline writes that a similar
wreath was found in the pillow of g.
year-old child who died OF the same
disease and about the same time as the
aforementioned patient This was
burned by the witch doctor without Dr..
Kline seeing it, but he is informed that
it is precisely like this one. By in
quiry DR.. Kline learned of four or five
other families who were said to have
found witch wreaths in their pillows,
who ascribe 10 their presence cases Of
illness in their families.
1t appears that a belief in the evil ef-

common in parts Of Pennsylvania and
