for Germ Diseases.

Sir Almeroth f. Wright, the noted Lon
don physician, who is credited with the
discovery of the opsonic index, which
indicates the power of the blood to de-
stroy diseased germs, is now visiting in
this country, and recently delivered an
address at the Philadelphia College OF
Physicians. He said he had reached the
conclusion, after much experimentation,
that meteorological incubation is the
best means to fight any disease that owes
its inception to germs, not excepting even
tuberculosis. The general plan of treat
ment is the same with that as with other
diseases. After the opsonic test on the
patients blood the vaccine is introduced
into the body until the blood is suih-
GENTLY strengthened to throw of its i'm
purities.

statu. of Churches in Germany.

The official order book of church MEM
bership in Germany, issued by Pastor
Schneider of Elberfeld, as translated and
reviewed by the Literary Digest, shows
that the number of conversions from the
Roman Catholic church to the Protestant
is considerably greater than those who
have gone from the Protestant ranks into
the Roman faith. According to this au-
thority, 1878 members of the Catholic
church in Germany became Protestants
between 1890 and 1894, while only 1904
went from Professionalism to Catholicism.
The order book draws atteItion to the
fact that not only in the empire as a
whole, but in each and every State the
Protestants have been making the greater
gains. Relatively these are much greater
in France than elsewhere.

The Welsh Servant Girl.

She came into the drawing room
Ghere were visitors presently and
said: 'sIf you please, William Hughes
has come. He says he has no head
and has sold his tongue" This ex-
traordinary information startled me
for moment until [ remembered
that | had ordered a calf's head and
an on tongue of Hughes, the local
butcher. Another Welsh maiden in
South Wales sent in singular mes
sage one evening by my English
maid. She brought ''Mrs. Griffith's
love, and she hoped my strange peo-
pie were well after their Journey"
Mrs. Griffith, near neighbor, had
called in the morning and been told
by me that | expected relatives,
whom she had met, from Wands-
worth that afternoon, so she had
sent polite inquiries, and as visitors
are in the Welsh language designat-
ed strangers, the Welsh servant had

THE HORSESHOE.
Its Use as Charm Against Bad Luck
and Evil Spirits.

Its Use as 2 Charm Against Bad Luck
and Evil Spirits.
In Morocco iron is considered
great protection against demons,
who are the lineal representatives,
after all, of the hostile spirits;
hence it is usual to place a knife or
dagger under a sick mans pillow,
his illness being, of course, attribut-
ed TO demoniacal possession. In In
dia the mourner who performs the
necessary but somewhat dangerous
duty of putting fire into the dead
mans mouth carries a key or a
knife in his hand to keep off the
evil spirits. In short, a bit of iron is
very useful thing to have about
you at any time if you desire to es-
cape the unfavorable attention of the
ghosts, the trolls, the fairies and the
demons generally. Thisis goodreason
for buying pocketknife. 1t is also
a reason for mailing up horseshoe.
'sBut why a horseshoe in particu-
lar" you ask, ''more than any other
odd piece of iron?" Well, primarily
the good luck depends more upon
the iron as iron than on the special
| shape or function of the horseshoe
as horseshoe.
But there are also many reasons
why the superstition should happen
to fix itself more particularly upon
horseshoes. We must remember that
in Europe at least it is the cattle,
the horses and the domestic beasts
in general that are specially liable
to the hostile attacks of Sthe little
people," Therefore the elves and
trolls are most likely to be dreaded
on farms or in the country, where
horses and cattle most do congre-
gate. Now, if you want to nail up
a bit of iron as protection against
the fiery darts OF the evil ones on
your stables or COW houses, which is
the place where one oftenest sees
them, nothing is more likely to come
handy to your purpose than a cast
horseshoe. Besides it has obvious
congruity for the place and object,
and it can readily be picked up in
the road almost anywhere. Fur
thermore, it is provided beforehand
with convenient holes, by means Of
which you can readily hang it up,
either over your@awn house door or
over your sheds and stables. These
various advantages of cheapness,
ease and readiness for fixing would
have given the horseshoe fair start
in life, it is believed, as a charm
against fairies, trolls and evil spir-
its generally, even without any 9th
!. er and more special advantages
