Thl3 ceremonial is the quaintest and queerest affair which the mind of man ever devised. The dancers of the tribe attire themselves in blankets and head-gerepresenting the wolf. While tlie preliminary ceremonies are going on they bide behind a screen hung in the rear of their outlandish temple. When the singers commence their incantation the wolves issue from the right-han- d side of the curtain and disappear at the other aftc the dance. Other features of their ritual have to be observed, and during the progress of them when one of tlie singers makes a mistake in the rhythm of their song, In the way they turn, smile or chew gum, the members of the wolf society, who are led by the liamatsas, jump from their seats and bite and scratch the delinquent. He drops down at once and feigns fainting, which is the signal for the wolves to surround him, when he mysteriously disappears. This shows that a spirit has taken him away to initiate him.

All Nine Interesting stories drawn from the folklore of Marylard, particularly that of the western part of the state, were told recently by members of the Folklore Society at their meeting in Dono-van Room of Johns Hopkins University. Mr. Crum, who is a native of Frederick county and a graduate student of Johns Hopkins University under Prof. Newcomb, in the department of mathematics, contributed a paper on "Witch Stories and Conjuring. Some of the superstitions he told of were as follows: "A Hunting Charm Whenever you kill a bear, deer or turkey dip a number of bullet patches in the fresh blood of the animal. You must on no account give any of these patches away. When you are out hunting aain for the same kind of game load as follows; Take a bloody patch, well greased, plac- - your bullet on it, then cross yourself, and, as you push the bullet home, repeat: Father, Son and Holy Ghost. You will certainly bring home is. .tie of the same kind as that who'e blood was on the patch. Do not keep the patches uear your bed or in your sleeping room. The spirits make a noise in the box where the patches are and will not let you sleep. The sound is like a watch ticking, but it gets louder and loude-- , until you cannot sleep.
