SUPERSTITION OF HORSESHOE.
How It Should Be Picked Up and How
It Should Be Mailed on the Door.


There is right way and wrong in the
picking up of a horseshoe. 1 was walking
with a country-bred boy along a Somerset
lane and saw one lying In the crumbling
summer rut. There Is a horseshoe" said
1. The lad sprang forward but stopped
suddenly before his fingers touched the iron.
But ] won't pick un up said he, "or L
shall spoil your luck" 1t may perhaps
have been only point of etiquette, but he
assured me that horseshoe OF my finding
could bring luck neither to him nor to me
IL he touched 1t before me-
The origin of this superstition, now lin
gering chiefly as saying and jest, Is
perhaps cartier than the horseshoe, and
has nothing whatever to do with It. 1t
was from the influence of the new moon
that good was to be expected, and still
there are some who turn the money in
their pockets when they first see her in the
sky. The early horseshoe was a simple
crescent. and the superstition has fingered
around an object that at first was only a
convenient symbol.
1t was to the protection of some moon
goddess therefore. that the householder
first trusted when he kept the witch out of
his dwelling by hanging horseshoe on the
door. Neither spell nor malignant wish
nor the power of the evil eye could cross
the threshold In the presence of the SYM
q
tain whimsical merriment into their practi-
cal joking, were no good in the face IF
that. Cheated out of their nocturnal rides
they might as well retire underground at
once IL horseshoe barred their entry to
the stable
For these troublesome elves in days gone
by. had way of working the cattle by
night for their own amusement, and when
the good man came in the morning he found
the poor beasts ''ali terrified like an out
in a lather o. sweat" And they had even
a worse trick than this They would get
at the good wifes vat and wantonly spoil
the brew. To prevent this she drew with
her finger two hearts and a crisscross upon
the mash, and thus the beer was saved
Whether crescent or cross, no matter The
pixies would sink away abashed by the
sign of Ii.
To this day there are horseshoes on the
doors of many cottages in quiet villages
Doubtless the cottagers do but put them
up for a within, or in the same haif-jocuar,
half-serious spirit, yet with a secret salts
form obsolete practices Just for luck" And
why net l, who find secret delight I'm its
forgotten significance?

still hanging In one of The holes. There
are some who think there is virtue in the
rust. But that Is nonsense. l polished
mine until 1t was bright as the silver moon
and indeed might almost be mistaken for
the metal sacred to Diana. There Is
right way and wrong of putting up the
horseshoe on your door. One thing Is thor
oughly established: II you turn IL INSIDE
down II cannot hold the luck
And where ought II to be placed?
The old world folk often nailed Il on the
threshold. The growing moon has her
horns always toward the left. and only on
the wane does she point them to the right

HOW MEERscHAUM Is MINED.
Where It Is Found-Process of Making
It into Pipes.


It into Pipes.
From the Scientific American.
Despite our familiarity with meerschaum
as used in pipes. it is safe to say that few
of US have more than vague idea of the
peculiar properties of this substance, or the
condition in which 1t occurs In nature. The
ancients believed the substance to be pet
rif1ed sea foam: hence the German name
meerschaum. meaning sea foam: and very
apt name 1t Is. for the mineral Is very white
and so light that 1t will float when dry.
Pieces of meerschaum have been found
floating in the Black sea which were evil
IDENTIFY washed out OF their matrix by the
waves. This may also have had its in
fiuence on the sea foam theory OF its for
nation.
Meerschaum is found In best quality and
most abundant supply in Asia Minor,
Though 1t also occurs In Greece. SPAIN Mo-
ravia and Morocco. and even In this coun-
try in South Carolina. The richest mines
are on the plains of Eskishehr, $50 miles
southeast of Constantinople. One of these
mines is said to be 1000 years old, and con-
sists of about 1000 pits within area of
six miles all but $50 of which have been
exhausted. The mineral occurs In nodules
or Jumps of various and irregular sizes.
buried in the aluvial deposit of the plain.
Another mine comprises 5000 pits, only 100
of which are being worked.
The material Is being mined by the in
habltants of the surrounding villages and
transported In the rough to Eskishehr. The
meerschaum is soft when mined. but soon
hardens when exposed to the air. For this
reason the lumps are roughly scraped off
at first and then laid aside to dry. When
dry they are subjected to thorough
scraping and cleaning. and are finally
waxed and polished. The Jumps are now
sorted according to size in four classes and
packed in boxes. In this condition the
meerschaum is shipped to the pipe manu-
facturers.
