LOVE CHARMS.

The love charms of Sicily are many and curious. One. very popular and consid- cred very powerful is to put into an egg shell a few drops of the blood of the longing lover The shell is exposed to the sun for three days and to the dew for three nights. It is then placed on hot ashes until calcined, when the whole is reduced to fine powder and admins tered secretly in d cup of coffee or glass of wine to the object of affection.
 Another charm is for the witch to un- dress at midnight and tie her clothes up in a bundle, which she places on her head. Then. kneeling in the center of her room, she pronounces an incantation, at the end of which she shakes her head. If the bundle falls in front of her it is a good sign; should it fall behind her the charm will not avail
 Yet another Is worked in the following manner: Pieces of green, red and white ribbon are purchased in three different shops, the name of the persons to be charmed being repeated mentally each time. The shopkeeper must be paid with the left hand, the ribbon being received in the right. When all the pieces are bought they are taken to a witch, who sets out to find the person to be charmed. On finding him or her the witch mutters to herself, With these ribbons l bind you to such n one" Then she returns the ribbons to the purchaser, who ties them beneath his or her left knee and wears them at church.-Macmillan's
