The Irish Corse.
An Irish authority thus defines as
an expert the effects of a well deliv-
ered curse: "The belief among the an-
cient Irish was that n curse once pro-
nounced must fall in sonto direction.
If it has been deserved by him on
whom it 1s pronounced, It will fall on
him sooner or later, but If it has not
then It will rebata upon the porsnn who
pronounced it. They comps re it to a
'wedge with which a %moanutn cleaves

it will fly out and strike the woodman

have been rsed for cursing by turning
them, and the natives ore very super-
stitious about them.
One node of averting the curse was
for the person agutnstivhon) the stones
were turned to have a grave dug, to
cause himself to be laid ht It and to
bare three shovelfuls of earth east over
him, the gravediggers at the same dine

The reason some people "never havo

because the drainage is defective. A
