HORSESHOE LUCK.

An Old Myth That Goes Back to the
Greeks and Their Sea God.
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 it 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.
The old myths repay research. The
luck of the horseshoe has a most re-
spectacle beginning. 1t is traced to the
religion of the old Greeks and their sea
god, Poseidon, who was identical with
the Roman sea god Neptune.
To Poseidon horses were sacred, and
to him they were sacrificed. Poseidon
was believed to have created the first
horse when he struck the ground with
his trident and a horse sprang from
the hole, which afterward became a
spring. The sea god was the lord of
springs. To him all springs were
sometimes wandered by the shores Of
his ocean domain, and 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 reckoned lucky. Going to the
root of the matter, one sees nature
myth as the root principle. From the
sea all rain comes. and to the sea all
springs owe primal origin. and to the
rain and the fresh waters, sea derived,
we owe all fertility on earth.
The old Greeks therefore Worshiped
Poseidon as the fortune givef through
his springs. They gave him horses, his
precious beasts, and they adored the
footprints of horses when they found
them, for they might be the very foot
prints Of the god himself.
When the horses came to be shod the
transition Of the luck emblem from the
footprint itself to the shoe m ark, prac-
tically the same thing. was easy.
Pegasus. the winged horse, from
whose hoofs the water springs gushed
copiously when he came to earth, has
been credited with the origin Of the
horseshoe luck.
The horseshoe was a specific against
earthquakes 1t would keep house
safe from harm by earth shaking.
Again one perceives the sea myth
Poseidon was the shaker of the earth.

Sun COOKING.

Sun cooking-roasting and boiling by
sunlight instead of by coal or gas-has
been going on for 800 years. There are
sun stoves that roast a sirloin or boil
a soup to perfection. They are only
used. however, by scientists. A sui
stove consists mainly of mirror-a
spherical mirror--on a joint. There is
also a reflector. The place for pot or
plate is so situated that the mirrors
rays can be focused on it accurately.
A German. Baron Tcherhausen. was
the first sun cook. He began in 1857 to
boil water. and in 1888 he had very
good success in boiling eggs. Sir John
Herschel and Button are other famous
names associated with sun cooking.
In California various sun cooks have
boiled q gallon of water In twenty
minutes. roasted meat in two hours
and poached eggs in fifteen minutes,
quite as good time as the ordinary fire
makes.
An odd thing about meat roasted by
sun rays is that it has an unpleasant
taste. This is avoided by the insertion
of plate of yellow glass between the
meat and mirror. In all solar stoves
the sheet of yellow glass fgures.-Lon-
don Tit-Bits.

An incident that occurred some years
ago during a session Of the British
parliament furnished an amusing il
lustration of the power of satire te
bring about results that sober argu
ment often fails to accomplish.
There had been introduced a bill de
signed to prevent cruelty to wild ami
mails in captivity. 1t was opposed Oh
the ground that. IL passed. it would
endanger certain kinds OF Legitimate
sport.
When the Earl Of Kimberley arose
he gravely admitted the force of this
argument.
There can be no doubt" said he
that the bill would put All end to fish
ing with worms as bait 1t is Il bill to
prevent cruelty to wild animals in
captivity. The schedule states that
the word animal shall be held to in
clude reptile. worm may be held to
be a reptile. A worm impaled on a
hook must certainly be held to be III
captivity; therefore the angler who
uses a live worm for bait would be
guilty of cruelty to an animal in cap
tivity."
The laugh that followed at the ex.
pense of those against the bill robbed
the opposition of whatever force it had
and carried the measure to sue
cessful issue.-Cincinnati Commercial

A Shocked Scot.

The London Chronicle says that two
Englishmen recently touring In Scot
land found that Sabbatarianism occa-
sionally extends to the middle Of the
week. They were forced by the wealth
er to take refuge in a small country
hotel and after lunch adjourned to the
billiard room to kill time until the rain
stepped. The game had hardly started
when the landlord entered in a very
drunken condition, upbraided his Wis
itors for their unseemly conduct and
insisted on their leaving the billiard
room. They received profuse apollo
gies from the landlady. Her husband
always got drunk on Sundays, she
explained, but. mistaking the day, he
had got drunk on Thursday instead,
and from force Of habit. believing 1t
was Sunday, had been shocked at the
click Of the billiard balls.
