MARKET FOR rALIsMANs.
HA.y sf ne. Are suII nsAe, ssId
aal Believed In by Tho1sAads
of People.

There are thousands OF talism ms
sold in New York and other metropol-
itan centers every year. There are
hundreds of men and women who
make business Of making and sell
ing them, and as much rs five and
ten dollars is often paid for little
circular piece of leather or metal con-
tanning inscriptions supposed to pos
sess marvellous power
A belief in charms has existed in
all ages and has been shared by all
peoples. 1t is a natural result of su-
perstition, says the New York Herald.
Talismans. to be efficacious, must
be constructed when the planets are
in benefic confguration. 1t is then
that the magic geometrical words and
figures inscribed thereon are more po-
tent in their results for good. The
date Of birth of the person for whom
the tallsman is made must also be con-
sidered, SO that his particular lucky
star is taken into consideration.
There are thousands who put all
their faith in the talisman. This 10
notably the case with those who are
in bad health, and where medicine
seems to do no good. In such cases
there is talisman containing mag
ical figures which are supposed 10
ward of all diseases and keep the
wearer in excellent health Then there
are talismans for gaining wealth, for
love. for marriage and what not.
A taiisman, to be effective, il usu-
ally worn around the neck or on q
silken string. 1t must. however, never
be seen by anyone else but the
wearer, otherwise its power is lost.
The charm is said to lie not so much
in the magical squares, trinngles and
figures as in the meaning they convey
and the power they exert on the imag-
ination. Itis but another instance of
faith and the magic exerted by the
will.
Many great men were believers in
talismans and wore them constantly.
Napoleon especially was very supersti-
tious, and carried ON his person
charm given to him by an Egyptian
priest, which he regarded as being re-
sponsible for his great success in bat
