The STEWART WILBERFoRCE Con
c1Rr Friday evening last the people
of Lancaster had the pleasure of listen
iur to some very good music by the
company of 'colored ladies and gentle
men, WHO travel under the above
name. Some of the voices were sup
erior and the harmony, rs is usually
the ease with singers of their race, was
excellent. Their Jubilee songs were
best received by the audience. the con
cert music, especially the duet of MIR.
and Mrs. Stewart, having rather
ridiculous effect when rendered by
"Colored ladies and gentlemen. The
Elocnlionist was a curiosity. He had
every appearance of having snakes in
his boots, and when the jealous maiden
d.r-r-ew the keen dagger and p-l-l-unged
il into her lovers b-r-r-est, his expires
sion was simply diabclical. The con-
cert. however. was on the whole de-
cided success. and ifthe company comes
this way again they will draw foil
house.

HOrSeShOes.

Now that the hor>c cshoe, as pretty
symbol of good luck, forms so much a
part of household decoration, it may
not be amiSs to say a word about its
significance in the olden times. The
horseshoe WAS anciently believed to be
an effectual protection against witch.
craft and witches. who could no more
overcome the sanctity of its seAi-cir-
cular form than they could the move.
ment of stream, which even the most
powerful could not cross. is in the shape
of running brook, as witness the
race of Tam O'Shanter, who, pursued
by them, passed the keystone of the
bridge himself, while the tale of his
good mare on the wrong side thereof,
became the prey of the pursuing w.sr-
locks. We have seen the horseshoe
nailed to the Intel of barns and masts
of vessels, for a W tch, mounted on her
broomstick. might take it into her head
to descend upon some unlucky craft, OF
she might call up the surging waves to
inguf it, unless it We're protected by
this holy symbol. For a horse to east
shoe was a bad omen when gallant
knight was about to start upon some
expeditions; hence, if a horse stumbled
which he would be sure to do if imper-
fectly shod, it was unlucky. We dc
not in our day believe much in witches
or bad signs but everybody is pleas
ed with the good luck implied in the
finding of Il horseshoe. BY an old
Norman custom, which has been pre-
served to the present, the venerable
castle at Oskham is plentifully bedeck-
ed with horseshoes. The Lords de
Freres We're in olden times entitled to
demand from every Baron on his first
passing through the town shoe from
Off one of his horses feet. There are
several shoes over POO years old, the
most notable one being one given by
Queen Victoria. The Princess of Wales
recently visited the town, and, in con.
formity with the custom, a gilt shoe
with her name inscribed upon it, will
be fastened to the castle wall. In oul
day it is not much to give a gilded
horseshoe, as did the Princes of Wales,
but it was serious thing to an old
knight. who, giving direct from his
horses foot, parted with his good luck.

Some Food for Reflection.

The age to which we have at present
attained may be stated thus: Compar-
ed with the period 1S3S-1S54 (the ear
liest for which there are trustworthy
records). the average of mans life
now is Ala years instead of 1913, and
of woman's 1873 instead of 41.9years,
an addition OF 8 per cent. to the female
life and 3 per cent. to the male. OF
each thousand males born in the pres
ent day, A more will attain the age of
50 than used to be the case previous to
1871. For the whole of life the esti-
mate now is, that of 1000 persons
(one-half males and one-half females)
81 survive at the age of forty-five, 26
at fifty-fire, at sixty-five. 5 at seventy
five, and l at eighty-tive. To put the
case in another way, every thousand
persons born since 1870 will live about
2.700 years longer than before. In
other words, the life of thousand per-
sons is now equal in duration to that of
1.070 persons previously; and 1000
births will now keep up the growth of
our population as well as 1910 births
used to do. This is equivalent in re-
suit to an increase of our population,
and in the best form, viz, not by more
