HORSESHOE LUCK.
An Old Myth That Goes Back to ths

Everybody knows il is unlcky TO pass
a horseshoe OH the road without pick
ing ii up. II is Il 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.
The old myths repay research. The
luck Of the horseshoe has a most re-
spectacle beginning II is traced to he
religion OF the old Greeks and their sea
god, Poseidou. who was identical with
the Roman sea god Neptune.
TO poseidon horses were sacred. apJ
to him they were sacrificed. PoseidoB
was believed To have created the first
horse when he struck the ground with
his trident and horse sprahg from
the hole. which afterward became a
spring. The sea god was tue lord of
springs. 70 him all springs wer,
ascrlbed. In the shape of horse he
sometimes wandered by the shores OF
his ocean domain. aud where he struck
his hoofs deeply there the waters gush.
ed out and permanent springs were
found. This is the reason why horse
shoes are rcckoned lucky. Going 10 the
root of the matter one sees nature
myth rs the root principle. From the
sea all rain comes, and 10 the sea all
springs owe primal origin. and 10 the
rain and the fresh waters. sea derived.
we owe all fertility on earth.
The old Greeks therefore worshiped
Poseidon as the fortune glver through
his springs. They gave him horses. his
precious beasts. and they adored the
footprints OF horses when they found
them, for they might he the very foot
prints Of the god himself
When the horses came 10 be shou the
transition Of the luck emblem froin the
footprint itself TO the shoe mark, prac.
tically the same thing was easy.
Pegasus. the winged horse, from
whose hoofs the water springs gushed
copously when he came to earth. has
been credited with the origin of the
horseshoe luck.
The horseshoe was specific against
earthquakes. II would keep house
safe from harm by earth shaking.

There are three main constituents of
feeds-fats, carbohydrates and albumi-

up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
The carbohydrates, of which starch
and sugar are familiar examples, are
made up of the same Clements put To-

Is hard to digest. but some of it is
used in animal growth. Albuminoids
contain not only carbon, hydrogen and
oxygen, but nitrogen also. In addition
to these three constituents of food it
also contains some mineral elements,
which are commonly referred to as
ash.
This ash IS used in building up the
bones, hair, horns and hoofs. The al
