_A Charm for Warts._--In some parts of Ireland, especially towards the

south, they place great faith in the following charm:--When a funeral is

passing by, they rub the warts and say three times, "May these warts and

this corpse pass away and never more return;" sometimes adding, "in the

name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost."
