USE LOVE CHARMS.
Queer Means Employed by Women to
Gain Affection.

Mrs ManselPleydell writes OF the
curious charms used by the women Of
Morocco: Moorish women resort
much to charms to gain lovers or to
keep their affections when gained.
There is one charm which is seldom
known to fail. 1t consists of shred
dins q small piece Of an undergarment
which the man has worn and, after
certain incantations have been said
over 1t, OF rolling the particles into
the shape Of small ball. This Is em.
bedded In larger ball Of clay and. aft.
er being slightly dampened, 1t is kept
In pot over the embers of live char
coal, have been assured that as
soon as the heat penetrates the clay
the man, whoever he may be, will lay
aside whatever work he is doing at
the time and fly to the arms OF the
woman who invokes the charms. As
long as the ball IL kept warm so long
VIII the heat of love burn In the
heart OF the lover for that woman.
Another spell much resorted to Is cast
by 'ntting of the tips Of a donkey's
eIr,, cooking them and mixing them
III ne mans food. He then becomes
Aa foolish as a donkey with love for
the caarmer who has provided his
UnslVGry repast."
