Widespread Belief in
* Horseshoe as Talisman
The tiorseshoe Is one of the very
oldest talismans for wooing good for
tune that exists. -The belieL In its
efficacy is held almost all *»er llie
world, and lias been present since the
dawn of history. 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. " said the devil
to his iiiips^“is the sort of thing which
I Should recommend." ’ ”
Must Not Re Separated
Faraday, tin* great chemist, learned
a lesson In boyhood by a very ehlBlish
experience. As a little lad. humbly
earning his bread selling newspaper's
in the streets, he was wailing outside
the office of an Edinburgh paper for
the morning issue, and thrush Ins' head
and arms through the railings of the
iron gate. He was a born metaphy
sician and began to speculate on which
side of the railings he was. "My head
and hands are on one side," he said to
himself, “and my heart and body are
on the other:" The gate was opened
hastily before lie could disengage him
self, and the wrench he received taught
—. r*- *~* •• *v
him, as tie said it) after life, that all
true work required lie,-nl and heart and
hand' to tie on the sjune side. -
