Does a Horseshoe Bring Luck !?

OF all the emblems for good fortune
the horseshoe stands among the first
Everybody knows it is unlucky to pass
a horseshoe on the road without pick
ing 1t up. 1t is luck emblem of the
greatest power. We are indebted for
this statement to old tales. centuries
in age, that have descended from
father to son, from mother to daughter,
through the years.
1t is necessary to notice how the
horseshoe lies before picking it up. II
the ends are away from one the sign
is that fortune will be within grasp;
but by extravaganza, carelessness. or
the operation OF rogues, it may depart
almost as soon as it comes. A sign
to take care is given, therefore.
The right thing to do is to turn the
horseshoe around, so that the ends are
toward the finder, before picking ii up.
And In carrying 1t home Ii Is correct
to hold it with the ends upward, or
the earth will attract to itself all the
promised fortune.
When the shoe is nailed up on door
or window in its destined place the
ends must be upward. or the whole
luck emblem will be nullifed. Instead
of keeping evil spirits away the shoe,
in the wrong position, will attract
them! Instead of bringing good for
tune the luck of the house will be di-
Verted.
1t is supposed that the element of
electricity enters into the matter. From
the shoe proceeds current OF beneh-
cent rays that. with the ends upward,
will spread over the house as a pro-
tecting influence; with the ends down
ward the good rays are drawn into the
all receiving, all giving earth, and with
them many of the good influences that
are about the place
Al century ago 1t was very common
TO see upon a cowshed door the horse
shoe that scared away witches, who
would milk the COWS or dry them up.
Nowadays they are not so common, yet
here and there they are still seen.

Spinning of Spiders
by CHARLES CRIsTADORO

Theories have been advanced repeat
edly as to various things done by spid-
ers. spider spins. I don't think so,
and for reasons given below.
Then another holds that spider has
bing
claim that its web is drawn from
il, not spun, the viscid substance be-
ing thrown out in attenuated lengths,
drying almost instantly when exposed
to the air. (Some paintman, could he
learn this mystery of nature, might get
up patent dryer for his paint that
would dry as he painted).
So the spider just touches the sticky
web to a vantage point and regulating
the flow makes the cable big or small
as circumstances demand.
1 saw garden spider, one of those
black and yellow striped fellows,
beautiful to gaze upon and study, build
his lair across some nasturtium vines
in the corner of the garden. And one
day when walking in the grass great,
numbering, clumsy grasshopper flew in
to the trap and at once kicked and
thrashed so as to endanger the very
wed llSeii. But one KICK was eHou6n
and before he could make a second
the spider tackled him-the word tackle
can be read grapple also--and before
the grasshopper knew where he was
at he was rolled into a winding sheet
of silk that held him as close and snug
as a swathed Indian pappoose.
This was all done in period OF the
winking of an eye. Now the spider
did not spin" that winding sheet, nor
was it drawn from him." he simply
put IL all over the captive calculated
