If a person has cramps in the legs or feet

shoes under the coverlid at the foot of the

preventive of cramps.

These and many more strange supersti
tions are part of the faith of the simple,
honest and thrifty farmers of English set
tlement.
Knffllah Farmers In Tills onntrv Who I te
lle ve In and Practice Them,
Mew York Sun.
Years ngo a number of emigrants from
Devonshire, Lancaster, Cornwall, York
shire und othir counties of England, settled
in Northern Pennsylvania, near the New
York lino. They have made some of the
finest farms ill the State, and are the best
of citizens; bnt many of them cling, with
singular tenacity, to a strange belief in the
efficiency of certain charms that have been
used for centnries among the class to which
they belonged in England.
Tho charmed ring care for epilepsy in one
of these. Only a few days ago a jeweler in
one of the villages was called upon by a
resident of the settlement, who lmd with
him his daughter, a sickly girl of 15. The
girl produced nine English two-penny
pieces, from which the jeweler was re.
•pleated to make a ring to lit the ni l's mid
ale finger. It was necessary, the farmer
Maul, that a portion of each coin should bo
used, and the rest of the piecea saved and
returned to his daughter. The coins were
given her by cine boys, ss near her own age
as could be found, which would give to the
ring a charm which, when she put it on,
would cure her of epilepsy, from which she
was goffering. This, he maintained, was a
cure which never failed. If the victim of
•pilepsy was a male, the uiue coins must lie
preutnted by nine females.
Home of these farmers keep tho skins of
adders in or on their bouses or buildings,
believing them to bo u charm against fire.
To cure ague the patient is taken to
■pot where two roads cross and an oak is
fonnd as near tho spot as possible A luck
of his hair is lifted up and driven into (ho
tree with an ash peg. The patient most
then tear himself loose, leaving the hair
■tick in the tree, und walk away without
looking behind.

"uoh, *9.1 Ward off disease of all kinds; but
as tbe person carrying one cf tbeco fox
dongues will sorely die if hu should happen
to meet a r«» at any cross-rovis, (he charm
is seldom invoked.
One old resident of the Settlement entries
in his pocket constantly an immense tooth
from a human jaw. The tooth, ho gays,
~wraa taken from the mouth of n man after he
was dead, who wag hanged in Hertfordshire
more than g hundred years ago, and waa
carried by the present owner's futber,grand
father and great-grandfather. It is carried
aa a preventive of toothache, the tooth from
from a dead person's mouth being a certain
charm against that malady. Tha owner of
tbe tooth aaya he never had tha toothache in
iiia life. A double hazel nut carried In the
pocket or about the person hi also a preven
tive of this painful ailment.
The charma for the dispenion of warte
believed in by many of these honest farm
ers ate numerous and most singular. For
instance, if a person with warts on hit or
lnr hands will writs down the number of
them on the band of a tramp's hat without
the tramp knowing it, he will carry the
watts away with him—that ia, they will
gradually disappear from the perron's hands
and appear on thou of the tramp, jtj cut
ting a notch on a grata elder stick for every
wart a person may have, tubbiug tho stick
m every wait, and then burying it in tbe
ireroyerd, and leaving it there to rot. tho
weria may be cored. Warts tony also bo re
moved by taking a black anal), rubbing it
•even oil the warte at night, and impaling tha
■nail on a thorn bush., tcptaling tho pro-
*•«*£« blue aUeOesslve nights, by which time
Jhe warts and tha snail will both bo shriv
eled np. Another wsy to get rid of warts
ia for tn* person to tee a funeral pee* un
expectedly, wherever hi hi av be, and as it
£ sata rub bit wurta qclokly and repeat
• words: "Warts and corpse px-s away
mud never more return.” tireen peas may
also be hied to advantage in taking on
Warts. Let tbe afflicted person taks as
many pees os he has warts and tonch each
wart with a different pea. lie tunst thrn
wrap each pea in a separate piece of paper,
and bury them secretly in the shade of an
Mb tree or under a hazel buah. If peas
are not inseaeonnnd the person with warts
dots not care to try the efficacy of the
above-named charms, let him select aa
many pebbles ns be has warts. Hewing
them up in a small bng, he most take them
to where four roads ernes and throw tho
bag over his left shoulder. This charm
will never he resorted to, however,
ame who have no maliciousness
hearts, for if by cbauce any other person
should find the bag and open it tho warts
will appear on his hand.
A wen is usually a troublesome and nn
sightly thing to he afflicted with; the victim
of wins need not suffer long if they believe
in the English charm. Take a common
snake, hold it by the head and tail, and
draw it backward and forward nine times
over the wen; then cork the snake in
• bottle and bury it. If that fuils the pa
tient must not repine, bnt simply wait un
til the next May day. Rise early in the
morning of that day before the snn has dis
turbed the dew. Oo to a gravt yard, and by
passing the band three times from head to
loot over the gtave, collect the dew that
lies on the grave of the last young person
who wa* buried in the yard. If the victim
c f the wen ia a woman the grave lunst be
that of a man, and vice versa. Apply the
dew immediately to the wen and a euro ia
guaranteed. In England, according to an
old naident, the "dead stroke” waa consid
ered a never-foiling cure for wens. This
waa the stroking of the affected part with
tbe head of a dead criminal.
The charm for curing nosebleed ia
curious one. If a person is subject to
nosebleed he may tffect a cure by going to
a person cf the opposite sex end requmUng

The New Traveling Torpedo Which li Ex
pected tu Do M uch Dxnmge.
London Time*.
Tho detail* of moving torpedoes, ns re
gards their hteering power, propulsion and
exploeivo charge, have for some time past
formed a special study with Mr. R. Paulson,
who has fUTccted what would appear to l»e
Home important improvement*} in these re-
Hpucta. Eleclro-iuugnets are tho chief
agents u»ed in the utocriug Arrangements,
although their exact construction and ar
rangement are point* upon which the in
ventor prefers to preserve ailetice at pres
ent. No with rtgard to his improved
means of propulsion and the explosive
charge; the most that he is just now pre
pared to state publiclv respecting these is
that propulsion is effected by a system
differing in toto from auy of those at pres
ent employed.
Broadly stated, it consists in the use of
chemically generated gas which is utilized
either for forcing a column of WAter direct
astern, or for causing it to actu.nte ma
chinery for driving a propeller. The ex
plosive charge consists of a species of gun
cotton possessing 50 per cent, more powder
than ordinary gun-cotton, but having nn
equal degree of safety. The steering device
is that upon which Air. Paulson is most
communicative, and this is stated to con
sist of two batteries, one pole of each of
which is placed in connection w*;h the
coils of two sets of electro-magnet^ from
which bads are conducted to two .metal
pins Axed on disc of insulating material.
Both tho other poles of the batteries are
placed in communication with u balancrd
magnetic needle of special construction.
The metal plates are placed one on either
side of tbe needle, And the course of the
torpedo having been set, it is started. Any
deviation of tho torpedo from its assigned
course causes a relative movement of the
needle, which touches oue or other of the
pins, thus establishing tho circuit through
ft? colli 9? one or other of ihe two magnets.
Ah tomalurA counted with rudder Ts at
tracted, und by tbbt metPi the torpedo is
again plucod on its right course. l’Le depth
of immersion of tbe weapon is also regu
lated and maintained in a similar manner
by a vertically balanced needle. Another
fouture is thst the topedo can be directed
toward iron ships, irrespective of the prede
termined course, by mt-uns of another bal
anced needle.
A demonstration of tbe steering powers
of the apparatus was recently given \>y the
inventor at 16 Cockspnr street. Charing
Cross, a model torpedo about 12 feet 6
inches long and 7 inches in diameter being
used. The model was not placed in water,
bnt was |wive!ed on a stand, and it was
clearly shown that when it deviated from
the course upon which it had been laid,
the electro-magnctio arrangement—which
was of course concealed within the torpedo
—came into operation and restored it to its
normal course. More could not be shown,
but it was stated that o full-sized torpedo,
16 feet in length and 14 inches in diameter,
had been made and successfully tried on
the coast of England. On tho hwt occasion,
however, the torpedo had managed to
get away from its inventor snd
hail been no more scene The
material of which Mr. Raulson proposes to
construct the shell of bis torpedo differs
fr?m that hitherto used in that it is a species
of pupUr-muche of a tough snd fibrous
nature. Tha new weapon is to be dis
charged trom the sho:« or from any ordi
nary t>oat, thus obviating tho cost of s
epv&inl torpedo boat This feature points it
out ns valuable for coast and harbor de
fense, for which purposes it is the opinion
of tcveral naval authorities by whom it has
been examined that it is especially adapted.
In view of ita apparent merits it would ap
pear durable that the government authori
ties, who have had tho mutter under con
iildeialion for iwuc little time past, should
lose no time in constructing a torpedo of
the proper working size and having It proc-
tieully tested. This course is tho less ob-
ectiouable, seeing that the co*t is stated to
>e on’y about £160. At any rate tho inven
tion appears to justify prompt and thorough
investigation, in t*fder that ils practical use
