You find it In Egypt and nailed to the threshold of the felt and wicker wigwams of the nomads of Turkestan. In medieval England, especially In the southwest, horseshoes were often nailed on church doors to keep out evil spirits 1 and witches. There i^sed to be two huge ones on the south door of the parish churdi of Ashby Foville, in Leicestershire, says the Family Herald. There are records of a number of horseshoes having been nailed up for centuries on the gates of Oakham castle. In Rutland,, which was built hy Wakelin de Ferrars, son of the first earl. Every nobleman visiting it was made to forfeit a shoe of the horse on which he rode or pay a forfeit of money. Quite a number endured the Inconvenience of parting with a shoa rather than pay the small sum, . Probably the oldest continuous dis play of a jiorseslfoe for luck to he found in Britain is the Case of a shoe nailed up at Horseshoe corner, in the city nf Lancaster. The first <>ne was ■east by the horse of John of Gaunt, when he was riding through the streets nearly six hundred years ag<>. Tlie more nails in a “found" horse shoe the greater the luck. / Wilde Well Aware of Failing of Humanity Among other amusing stories in his, “Memoirs and Adventures,” Sir Arthur Conan Doyle reluteskjdii.s characteris tic story told him hy Oscar Wilde: “We were discussing -the cynical maxim that the good fortune of our friends made us discontented. ‘The « devil,' said Wilde, ‘was once crossing The Libyan desert, and he came upon a spot where a number of small fiends, ilwere tormenting a holy hpnii.lt. - The sainted man easily shook <>tT their evil suggestions. The devil watched their failure and then he stepped forward to give them a lesson. “What you do l Is too crude;' said he. “Permit me for one moment." With that lie whis pered to the holy man, “Your brother hast just been made bishop of Alex andria.'' A scowl of malignant Jeal ousy, at once clouded the serene face of the hermit. "That.

He was a born metaphy sician and began to speculate on which side of the railings he was.
