For Our Boy and Girl Readers
H0RSESH0ES AND LUCK.
Why II Is That Superstition Attaches
to This Iron Footwear.

why u 10 mat superstition Attacnos
to This iron Footwear.
There are many persons who think
II is lucky to find a horseshoe, and
they will take 1t home and nail 1t over
the door TO bring good luck to the
house or the barn or wherever 1t may
be, although they are not always care
full to have the points upward, which
they should be. or the luck may spill
out.
IF you ask one of these people why
the luck should attach to the horses
shoe more than to his bride or bit you
will probably find that they do not
know anything about it. They have
always heard It was lucky, and that
ends 1t.
This superstition goes away back Of
the days Of ho~rseshoes as we know
them now and is really attached to the
number Z. From early times many
persons have thought 1t very lucky to
find anything connected with the nuz-
Der Z, because 1t seems to be a sacred
number and is mentioned zore than
any other in the Bible.
Ii so happens that a horseshoe usual
ly has seven nail holes In II, and that
is the only reason II was considered
lucky. II you find one with six or
eight nail holes In II 1t would be no
more lucky than a three leaved clover.

CATS EYES AS TIMEPIEcEs.
One Of the Queer Customs In Turkey.
Clocks q Luxury Thsra

One Of the Queer Customs In Turkey.
Clocks q Luxury There.
Fifty years ago q watch or q cfock
was almost as rare in Turkey as an
~aeroplane Is In America now. Even to
day In the smaller cities and villages
house clocks are a luxury of the rich.
Nature supplies the clock OF the poor.
The crow of the cock is their simplest
timepiece. The sun Is the most depend
able and convenient. The cats eye is
the most difficult to learn and the
most amusing to consult
One of their methods Of telling time
by the sur is to make a kind Of sun
thumbs so that they touch each other
horizontally and extend the foreflngers
up perpendicularly. Then they divide
the thumb and f%ore1nger of each hand
into six parts, nominal hour points.
one hand representing the morning
and the other the afternoon. Accord
ing to this division, where the thumbs
join is IL o'clock, the tip of n fore
finger represents @ o'clock in the morn
ing. and the tip of the other o o'clock
in the afternoon. The hours between
II and Q fall at different points be-
tween the junction Of the thumbs and
the tips of the foreingers.
Telling the time by cats eye sounds
absurd, but 1t can be done. Every
n perhaps is not aware that the
shape of the cats eye u~ndergoes a pro-
gressive change during the day. In
the morning the pupil is round, but as
the day advances it gradually narrows
until at noon 1t becomes merely a mar
row streak. From 10 to night it
reverses its action, becomes oval at
about 3 o'clock and Is again round at
about @. 1t is common to see old peo-
pie especially call the cat In order to
look at its eyes and thus get some
idea Of the hour.-Armenia.

She Began Waving the Danger Signal
her feet. 1t wasn't a freight, but a
special, and among the anxious men
who left the coaches and came run-
ming along to make inquiries was the
division superintendent.
How did 1t come aboutY Why didn't
a man come to give w~arning?" he
asked.
"A tramp told me of 1t, and there
was no man to send" she replied.
Ten men followed the light of the
girls lantern over the great heap OF
debris and TO the depot. The division
superintendent was surprised when she
unlocked the door and entered. He was
more surprised when she laid aside her
sodden hat and cloak and sat down to
the key and began calling each way
and finally received a response. He
gave her no instructions. He simply
listened and waited. She ordered a
wrecking crew to the spot and then
turned from the key to meet his eyes.
"I-aw-beg pardonT he said.
81 don't understand. sir" she replied.
"You're-aw-Miss Williams7"
Certainly"

But, Miss Williams, | was iaboring

You see
Il am a woman. sir, and there can be
no misapprehension, and l bid you

Six weeks later the division superin-
tendent stepped down and out. The
president of the road had sat up TO
take notice, and the discharged girl
was bossing things in one of the best
offices on the line.

strono Home WhItewa.h.

In whitewashing or color washing a
scullery wall or kitchen make the wash
permanent at the start and prevent the
rubbing off which usually happens
with friction. This can be done by add
ing a small handful of alum TO each
bucketful Of the wash. and the coating
can be made eve irmer by adding a
pint Of milk to each bucket, in addition
to the alum. Whitewash made in this
way has been known to last for five or
six years.

Here is a little trick to try on your
friends:
Ask one of them to close his eyes
and cross his fingers. When he has
done this take a pencil and touch the
tins of the crossed fingers with 1t.
Then ask him how many pencils he
feels. and nine times out Of ten he will
insist that there are two pencils touch
ing his fingers.

NEW HAVEN
 MAY HAVE A
 TROLLEY STRIKE

New Haven. April s-Whether or not New Haven is soon to face another trolley strike is a question which will be decided before this week is out, according to local trolleymen last night, who will make formal demand for an increase in wages by Wednes- day, if not before. Prominent mem bers of the union were of the opinion last night that the trolley company would refuse the demand and said that there could be but one course for the union in the event of a refusal, and that would be a strike.
 To all appearances the trolley has never been so strong as at present. Even new men who have but come to work on local lines, have been signed up on the unions roster, according to reports, and we'll laid plans govern ing the actions of the union from the moment the increase in wages is ask ed, have been made for some time. The union is a unit so far as the wage increase is concerned, say members, and if their demand is refused, every man on the local lines will walk out.

 Rochester, April 8.-Plans for the Republican convention which con- venes here, tomorrow. "carry the war directly to Colonel Roosevelt" and his followers. They denounce in specific and unmistakable terms the recall of judges, saying such legislation would put the Judiciary at the mercy of the mob" and compel every jurist of re- pute to leave the bench tA preserve his self respect"
 The followers of William Barnes, Jr., the state chairman, who are in control, made it very plain, today, that they are certain that this plank and others fully as conservative will be adopted, outlining the issues of the coming campaign.
 They say they do not care whether the delegates-at-large are instructed for President Taft or not, that what they do intend to do is to place the attitude of the New York Republican organization before the country is un- mistakable terms. The Taft admins tration is to be warmly endorsed, also his peace policies.
 Also workingmen's compensation will be advocated in a plank couched in general terms.
 The Sherman antitrust law, as a Republican measure, will be praised and declaration made that it is not the belief of the Republicans of New York that it should be interfered with. Judicial reform will also be advocated. An appeal for reform in the financial administration of the government of the nation at large will also be made. The convention will meet at noon on Tuesday with Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, as temporary and permanent chairman.
