MARYLAND FOLKLORE.
superstitiona a. to Hunting, witches
ana selling ones self 10
the Devil.

Interesting stories drawn>from the
folklore Of Maryland, particularly that
of the western part Of the state, were
told one night lately by members OF
the Folklore society at their meeting
in Donovan room Of Johns Hopkins
university. Mr. Crum, who is a native
Of Frederick county and a graduate
student Of Johns Hopkins university
under Prof. Newcomb, in the depart
ment of mathematics, contributed
paper on witch Stories and ConJur-
ing" Some of the superstitions he told
Of were as follows:
"a Hunting Charm-Whenever you
kill a bear, deer or turkey, dip num-
Der of bullet patches in the fresh blood
of the animal. You must on no ac-
count give any of these patches away.
When YOU are out hunting again for the
same kind Of game load as follows;
Take bloody patch, well creased
place your bullet on it, then cross your
self, and as you push the bullet home
repeat: Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
You will certainly bring home game
Of the same kind as that whose blood
was on the patch. Do not keep the
patches near your bed or in your sleep
ing room. The spirits make noise IN
the box where the patches are and will
not let you sleep. The sound is like
a watch ticking, but it gets louder and
louder. until you cannot sleep.
witch Killing-If horses are SO bad
" bewitched that one dies the fol-
lowing will deprive the witch OF her
mower. Take the dead horse out into
a field and burn the carcass beside a
tree. First cut cross in the tree,
then drive a nail in at the cross. Now
take your rife which must be loaded
with silver bullet, choose position
SO that the fire is between you and the
tree and shoot over tfe fire at the nail.
When you hit the, nail the witch will
lose her power, and you cannot miss
with the silver bullet.
ITO Sell Ones Self to the Devil--Go
TO the crossroads at midnight alone and
play on the banjo. If YOU really EVant
TO sell yourself two black dogs will
appear and will dance as you play.
Then you promise something fearful.
Anyone who thus sold himself was
said to be able to outplay and Guidance
any competitors.
"a Method for Girl to Try Her For
tune-Put an egg to the fire and sit
an hour. The wind will howl and the
dogs bark and the man you are to mar
i ry will come in and turn the egg around
If the egg bursts you viii die (or, pos
sibly, my informant adds, you will
never marry) Baltimore Sun.

ENGINES IN THEIR BOATS.

Many shad fishermen this year have
had their boats equipped with gasoline
engines. This enables them to make
their trips down the river much faster
than in previous years. Under the
present conditions they go to the fish-

and do not have TO wait on the tide or

middle of the skiffs and are enclosed
in a wooden compartment which pre-
vents the fish from coming in contact
