THE MOP VERSUS THE SCRUB BRUSH.

"The scrub brush as a method OF
cleaning floors, though in extensive
use in this section of the country, and
even more SO in parts further south, !"
remarked New England lady who
took prominent part in the recent
mothers congress. ''long since went
out OF use IN the New England States,
and never did have much OF place in
the progressive new cities of the West.
In it's place mop at the end of stick
is used. The mop does much better
work, as We look at it, and besides can
be used without getting down on ali
tours, which is hard work in itself. A
woman can do double as much work
with mop and in half the time as can
be done with the scrub brush. Per-
sonally, I had supposed that the scrub
brush had gone out ofuse everywhere,
until I saw scrubwomen using it at the
hotel where I am stopping and after
ward in the corridors in one of the de-
partment buildings. 1t is twenty-five
years behind the times, is untidy and
does not secure the results that mop
or long.handled scrub brush secures"

London's population continues to
increase rapidly, but recent census
figures reveal a change in the charac-
ter of this growth which has both sur
prised and puzzled the English statis-
ticians. Up to times comparatively
recent the city's increase was chiefly
ut the expense of the country districts
and of other lands the number OF
births within the metropolitan limits,
when not less than the. number Of
deaths, being not nearly enough in
excess of it to account for the annual
increment. Thus, in the period Of
1871-80, the incroase in population
was more than 100, 000in excess OF
the births over the deaths. In the
years 1881-90, however, the balance
was the other way, the addition to
the population being nearly 11S, 900
less than the natural increase. In the
period of 1915 the excess of births
over deaths was 23o, ooos, but the ac-
tual increase in the population was
slightly less than 100000. From
these figures, it appears that either
London-born children are the victims
Of an excessive death rate, or else
that the opportunities to be found in
the great capital are no longer attrac-
tive enough to satisfy its native in
habitants, large numbers of whom,
therefore, have been led to seek their
fortunes elsewhere. The problem is q
rather obscure one, and the new social
current has not yet been flowing long
enough to make easy determination
Of its direction, extent, and cause.

The Horseshoe.

Every one knows how common It Is
in country districts to see horseshocs
nailed against the doors Of barns and
cottages, as harbinger Of good-luck
This old custom has lately come under
notice In a paper on the Folklore OF
the Horseshoe" read by Dr. Robert
Laurence before the American Folk.
Lore Society. He believes that the Gus
tom of mailing up horseshoes originated
in the rites Of the Passover, the blood
sprinkled on the doorposts and the linte
at the time Of the great Jewish feasts
marking the chief points Of an arch,
which is reproduced in the form of the
horseshoe. 1t is also possible that the
custom Is traceable to the idea that the
horse brings luck, for in legendary lore
the animal has often been credited with
supernatural gifts.
