The Horseshoe superstition.

The custom of mailing horseshoe over
the door of a house or other building az
protection against evil spirits and as at:
assurance of good luck is widely spread
over the United States and England. Ii
also f1ourishes among the Teutonic and
Scandinavian races, and has been recoc-
nized as far East as lIindostan. The
horseshoe unites within itself three lucky
elements-it is crescent shaped. it has
been, or is to be, in contact with horse,
and is made of iron. Popular supersti-
ton has for ages endowed iron with pro
tecting powers. The Romans are known
to have driven nails into the doors and
walls of their houses as an antidote or as
preventive of the plague. The Arab
who is overtaken by simeon in the des-
ert seeks to propitiate the Jinns'bt shrek
ing "Iron Iron." In tie mythology of
England tho horseshoe has always been
considered a luck bringer." Aubrey.
in his "MisceIanies, tells us that in his
time most ll'thc houses in West London
had horseshoe over the door, Lord
Nelson nailed one to the mast of tie

A correspondent asks: If A and B are
standing at the rear end of train half
mile long and A walks to the front end,
will he get to his destination before b. or
does he travel faster? He is informed
that if AS destination is half a mile for
ward from the place at which A and b
stood together, and the train stands still,
A undoubtedly travels faster than B and
will get to his destination before B. In
case the train is moving forward, A,
while walking forward, goes faster than
b and will get to his destination sooner
always provided that he jumps of
promptly when he gets there. In the
third case, in which the train backs, A,
while walking forward, will be going
slower than B, provided the trains speed
is greater than AS. Whether in this
case A or B will get to his destination
first depends upon the speed of each
afoot.-Baltmor Sun.

Bnxa Are Going Out of SfyIs.

The advertisements in the New York

of For Adoption" included seven boy
babies and one girl.

That's easy enough explained, she
said, smiling.
Yes"
Girl babies are in better demand ,
hence the supply is less; seven boys tt.
one girl; isn't that about right"
why do people prefer to adopt girl:
"Oh, girls are less troublesome, as i
general rule, than boys, They are
sweeter in disposition and generally more
lovable. As they grow up they are not
so hard to manage. A boy is not boz
unless he is a terror. As soon as he gets
about 6 years old look out. He will be
into mischief day and night. 1t is not so
with girl. That's why girls are more
desired for adoption than boys"

Circus Children,

The scenes in the dressing room of a
circus are both novel and picturesque.
The huge tent is divided, first into two
main apartments. One is the green room,
as it were, where the ring horses are kept
ready for the riders.
Here the properties are handed out,
and the matron of the wardrobe spreads
out the glttering covers for the horses
and other paraphernalia that help so
largely to make the circus performance a
spectacle of dazzling beauty.
The other portion of this same tent is
divided up by strips of canvas stretched
from one of the main poles to the side
walls, forming series of N-shaped rooms,
one of which is devoted to the men, an
other to the women, and a third to the
ballet girls.
A little post in the center of each, with
looking glass not larger than ones hand,
serves as common dressing table, where
the paint and powder and other finishing
touches of the make up" are applied.
The clothes are thrown carelessIy upon
the tops of trunks, which stand in long
rows against the canvas walls, OF are

cents: Save my country, God." The
Wing version, related by Sydney Smith,
was: Nurse. give me some barley

Operating Oh a Tiger.

Doctor Haughton, the curator of tho
Dublin Geological Society, discovered
that one of the tigers was lame. Upon
examining its paw through the bars of
the cage he found that a claw was grow
ing inwards into the ball of the foot,
causing the poor brute great agony when
ever he tried to walk The doctor deter
mined to cut out the claw.
Five keepers assisted him, three in
front of the cage and two behind. The
tiger was lassoed, and, much against his
will, tied down, the five keepers holding
him firmly with rope. The doctor then
raised the bars, entered the cage and be-
gan operating. But he had forgotten to
guard himself against the tigress in the
age adjoining She contrived to reach
him with one paw and knocked off his
bat. The keepers, seeing this, took
fright and fled, leaving the doctor at the
mercy of his patient. The tiger jumped
mp and prepared to spring, but the doctor
,prang through the raised bars and pulled
them down. Against them the tiger
dashed, gnashing and foaming with great
fury.
The doctor called the keepers together
and reproved them for their cowardce; !;
then he locked all the doors, put the keys
in his pocket, and said:
Il intend to perform this operation
whatever happens. You will fix the
Insso again, but if you let 80 the rope
this time can escape and you'll be left
with the tiger"
The men behaved bravely the trouble
some claw was successfully removed and
was worn as scarfpin by the doctor.
From that time, whenever the tiger
heard its friends footstep it would throw
itself on its back, purr, roll about to at
tract attention, and never be satisfied till
he recognized it.

General o. o. Howard reports that
the country's national guard was never
before in such an excellent condition as
1t is at present. If another war should
come-which may fate forbid till we get
the debts of the last one paid at least
then our militia could be placed at once
in defense of important posts during the
formation Of volunteer army. He rec
oInmends that they be armed with the
new rifle and that an appropriation OF
81, 100000 year be made to increase
their efficiency. This is well, and our
citizen soldiers deserve all General How
ards compliments All the same they
should carry themselves in more SOL
dierly manner in order to properly show
off their good looks.
