ORIGIN OF THE HORSE SHOE SUPERSrITIoN.-In
the very carly times, says writer In B tllaCin's
M0nthly, among the Celtic race an effigy Of the
patron saint, so common in churches and tam-
pies, was much used In the dwellings aud work
shoIs OF the people, as so-called ''profection"
against 1ll-fOrtune. The "glory" above the
he ad OF these fgUres-which later was often
rudely carved in wood and painted-was repre-
sented by circular piece OF polished metal, to
convey tue effect of the shining halo or nimbus
frequently seen in illustrations of the Virgin
ard other scripture subjects Often this metal
niInbus was of semi-circuar form; and after the
hgure itself had disappeared by reason Of de
cay, TIE nlmbuS remained and was suspended
In some prominent place at the entrance door,
or other point commanding view. The eftigles
In question were not uncOmmOnly seen by tn.
SIDE OF the doorway. In course OF time the nimous
was much used as substitute for the latter and
was sold In shops for this purpose. The tradl-
lion OF good luck as embodied In the horse shoe
theory, may thus be easily traced, since 1t
became common occurrence, In the due course
OF time, for the faithful adherent in the belief
~ charms and symbols, to adopt the horse
snoe worn 10 brightness, In the absence Of any
0ther, Which he nailed over his cottage door.
Hence piece OF metal OF this shape became
associated In the common mind with super.
natural Presence and care In keeping with the
Denei att: ching to the original figure OF tie
patron Saiut.
