Luck In Horseshoes.

The superstition about luck in horse. shoes dates back too far for record but it was not always confined to the horseshoe. Any piece of iron foSnd in ones path was accounted a sign of good luck, and as horseshoes were more commonly picked up than any other article of that metal that par. ticular object at last became the standard emblem of good fortune and the supposed defense against bad luck. In Aubrey's "Miscellanies," written 200 years ago. the author mentions having seen the horseshoe nailed up in Church and he also says that most of the houses in the west end of Lon don have the horseshoe on the thresh- old" The horseshoe to possess virtue must have been found, not purchased or looked up. Admiral Nelson had great faith in the luck of the horse shoe. and one was nailed to the mast of his ship, the Victory. - London Chronicle.
