Mongolian Magic.
These Taichinar Mongols are much
given to all forms of magic. Storm dis
pelling they appear to have learned from
the K'amba Tibetans, but the origin of
some of their other practices is aot so
clear. Certain among them, they claim,
can cause a person to be stricken ill or
can even compass his death. Af ter hay
ing procured a few hairs, a nail paring
or something from the person of the in
tended victim, tbey make a little image
of him in flour, and in this stick the
relic. Then it suffices to prick the head,
heart, lungs or limbs of the efflgy to
cause acnte pains to be felt by the orig
inal in the same portion of his body. Of
course one must recite certain potent
charms the while. In them lies the se
cret of success. I am not aware that this
mode of bewitching a person, so well
known in the western world in aatcient

great extent in Asia. Personally I hare
