HORSESHOE MAGIC.

A discussion is in progress in one Of the
magazines on the subject of horseshoe
magic. 1t is a subject which seems to
be of perennial interest mainly because
it touches that little substratum of SUI
perstttious beliefs which is inherent In
most of us; though being a materialistic
people in materialistic age and having
put away from ourselves childish things
we none of US confess to it. AS a matter
of fact however, we are always. either
literally or metaphorically turning over
our money when we see a new moon or
picking up a rusty horseshoe as a har-
binger of luck. But the point that never
seems to be reached in these magazine
discussions is the circumstance that. in
italy and intrinsically, horseshoe magic
has nothing to do with horseshoes. 1t
existed long before horses were ever
shod, and 1t has left traces of its pres
ence in places where horses have never
been known.
In comparatively modern times the
horseshoe over the dS0r-nailed to the
Intel with the points uppermost, be 1t
noted-has been chiefly regarded as pro-
lection against witchcraft, belief which
has survived in it's modified luck bring
ing" form to the present day. But the
horSeshoe-shaped mark has been a myS-
tic symbol from immemorial days, and all
that modern superstition has done mas
been to fit it to the horseshoe. The
mark, sometimes painted and sometimes
cut, has been seen on ancient shrineS and
temples in the interior of China: 1t has
been in use for many centuries in India
1t Is to be found in the Aztec ruins and
on the stonework of the buried cities dis
covered recently by DR.. Schlichter in the
region now known as Rhodesia-
1t has been found incised on the sacred
Churinga stones Of the tribes Of Central
Australia and painted on the bodies of
such of the tribesmen as have gone
through the religious mysteries peculiar
to these aboriginal survivors. Messrs.
Spencer and Gillen tried last year to in
duce the tribal priests to eXpound the
horseshoe mystery to them, but it was
either too sacred or too obscure, and
they learned nothing save that the mark
was an indispensable part of their mys-
tic rites-the very "O'm" of it, as 1T
were The horseshoe mark Is found
also in British Guiana, in the region OF
the Amazon, in Georgia and Illinois, In
Zululand, in the temple of the goddess
Nut in Upper Egypt and on innumera-
BILE dolmens, kists and powders In the
British isles; but always with the points
uppermost. In so far, therefore, as an
tiquity confers responsibility. horseshoe
magic is pre-eminently respectable. The
only awkward thing about 1t Is that we
did not know what terrible mysteries 1t
may have originally signified. or to what
pagan rites we may be unwittingly COM
hitting ourselves when we nall the rusty
symbol over our lintels.

THE LATE BISHOP NEWMAN.

Few men possessing the splendid gifts
and attainments and having accomplish
ed so much for his church, as well as for
the welfare Of society, have passed from
life attracting so little attention as the
late Bishop John Philip Newman Dr.
Newman was universally recognized as
a jealous. devoted minister of the Cos
pei. whose great intellectual powers and
lovable personality brought him into a
public prominence in matters outside the
influence of the church which was not
always in accordance with either his
tastes or wishes. His great life work,
however was done in connection with
the advancement of the interests of the
Methodist Episcopal church
In the establishment of new churches
and of church papers, as well as of an
nual conferences, DR.. Newman was emf
nently successful. His splendid powers in
the pulpit made his services much sought
after, but the broadened sphere of his
influence necessitated that he should not
limit his exertions to any one charge
permanently. He was a many-sided man.
and the records of his travels as publish
ed in the several books of which he was
the author show him to be as eloquent a
writer as he was an orator
During many years of his lifetime Dr.

YOU NEVER WILL BE MISSED.

You man of the majestic mien, all swollen
up with pride,
Who feels that none can estimate your
worth,
Who treads the streets with kingly air
and more than kingly pride
AS II you held mortgage on the earth,
Come down for just moment from your
rather dizzy height
And let this truth find Judgment in your
head;
This world was pronounced success be-
fore you saw the light
And will move on just the same when
you are dead.
The man who wears the workman's garb,
placed in the scales with you,
Might send you spinning upward with
the beam;
In every, manly virtue and in honesty
that's true
Be your superior, though grand you
seem,
Though YOU may look with proud disdain
down from your lofty height
On men who labor for their daily bread,
Remember that the world was here before
you saw the light.
And will never even miss you when
you're dead.
The Master who created you and placed
you here on earth
Gave life unto the man of labor too,
And, though you may be favored with
the accident of birth,
He's fashioned in as perfect mold as
Wrapped in your self-importance, you
should always keep in sight
The fact that though you toss naughty
head,
This world was an assured success before
you saw the light.
And will move on just the same when
you are dead
There'n be no aristocracy in heaven. you
will find,
If you should chance to make landing
there,
And he to whose existence on the earth
you are so blind
Will be your equal in those realms so
fair.
Come down from off your pedestal and
show your manly worth,
From out of cloudland pull your kingly
head
The powerful machinery of this revolving
earth
Will never slip a cog when you are dead.

ON THE FIELD.

God can give me strength to conquer,
He will give me grace to lose!
I am bound to fight His battles
In the way that He shall choose.
Beaten back and lying wounded,
With no weapon in my hand,
I am just as much His soldier
AS the foremost of the band.
Dying, 1 still bear His colors
In this ori1amme Of pain,
And the triumph of the ages
Is the triumph of the slain!
He has filled the need Of service
Who but leaves a broken sword,
And the SORROWS of the vanquished
Are the glory Of the Lord!
