she had cured many a scald head by
taking pure pine tar and enough lard
to make an ointment when melted to-

the head as clean as possible and oil
with the ointment. She said she had
seen it cure heads when the matter had

Horseshoe Nail Rings.

Finger rings made of horseshoe nails!
They are certainly not pretty or grace
full, but they are said to bring good
luck to the wearer on certain condi-
tons.
To be a genuine charm the ring must
be made from a nail taken from a
horseshoe found by the owner herself
and nobody else. This is taken to a.
jeweler, who bends it to fit her little
finger and cuts off the superfuous
length.
The ring is not welded together, and
the head Of the nail stands for the set
ting. There's no way of proving it, but
those who have adopted these orna-
ments say that they bring just as much
luck as horseshoe itself hung over the
door with ends up.-New York Herald.
