European housekeeping in Papua is
charmingly simple. Everything arriv-

Sometimes a = would arrive with q

SUPERSTITION IS VERY OLD
Fer Many Centuries the Horseshoe
Has Been Regarded as an En-
blem of Luck.

Many superstitions have been
traced, with some defniteness, to
their origin, but that about the
horseshoe has not. It has been
traced back to about 1850, but there
the antiquarians had to give it up.
At that time, most of the houses in
the west end of London had horse
shoe nailed over the door as a protec-
ton against witches and evil spirits.
It was believed that witch could
rot enter house so protected. Many
houses in this country have horse.
shoe attached to them in some way,
and sailors, who are nearly all SUI
perstitious, nail the shoes up in their
ships for ''luck." Out of this old
superstition grew the notion that it
is ''lucky" to find an old horseshoe,
and it is said that the more nails
there are in the shoe when you pick
it up, the more luck you will have.

Decoration WorthiIy Bestowed,

President Fallieres' first list of deco
rations for the New Year included the
name of one man who is little known.
This was young physician named
Louis Bozy, who lost an eye in the
discharge of his duty. DR.. Bozy,
while acting as assistant to an operat-
ing surgeon in one of the Paris hos
pitfalls, had an eye injured through a
d:op of poisonous matter coming in
contact with it. He knew that an
antidote must be applied Immediately,
but by doing this he would have left
the chief surgeon unattended, and re.
manned at his post with his eye I'M
cared for until the operation was
completed. In consequence of his
heroism he lost an eye and was con-
fined to hospital for a long time.
President Fallieres, in comforting the
decoration, said that a wound re-
ceived by physician in the discharge
of his duty was as honorable as one
received on the battlefield.

or come up from the ground. At times
our light so attracted them we went
outside to see if it were not raining
