FOLK XORE. 



Divination hy Bihle and Key seems not merely 

 confined to this country, but to prevail in Asia. 

 The following passage from Peregrinations en 

 Orient, par Eusebe de Salle, vol. i. p. 167., Paris, 

 1840, may throw some additional light on this 

 superstition. The author is speaking of his sojourn 

 at Autioch, in the house of the English consul. 



" En rentrant dans le salon, je trouvai Mistriss B. 

 assise sur son divan, pres d'un natif Syrien Chretien, j 

 lis tenaient a eux deux une Bible, suspendue a une grosse 

 cle par un mouchoir fin. Mistriss B. ne se rappelait 

 pas avoir re^u un bijou qu'uu Aleppin affirmait lui 

 avoir remis. Le Syrien disait une priere, puis pronon- 

 9ait alternativement les noms de la dame et de 1' Aleppin. 

 La Bible pivota au nom de la dame declaree par-la en 

 erreur. Elle se leva a I'instant, et ayant fait des re- 

 cherches plus exactes, finit par trouver le bijou." 



I hardly think that this would be an English 

 superstition transplanted to the East : it is more 

 probable that it was originally derived from Syria.

Newcastle- on- Tyne, May 19. 1850. 



Charm for Warts. — Count most carefully the 

 number of warts ; take a corresponding number of 

 nodules or knots from the stalks of any of the 

 cerealia (wheat, oats, barley) ; wrap these in a 

 cloth, and deposit the packet in the earth ; all the 

 steps of the operation being done secretly. As the 

 nodules decay the warts will disappear. Some 

 artists think it necessary that each wart should be 

 touched by a separate nodule. 



This jiractice was very rife in the north of 

 Scotland some fifty years since, and no doubt is 

 so still. It was regarded as very eirective, and 

 certainly had plenty of evidence of the post-hoc- 

 ergo-propter-hoc order in its favour. 



Js this jnactice prevalent in England? 



It will be remarked that this belongs to the
