|Horssshoes and Luck.

The luck Of the horseshoe comes from
three lucky things always connected
with horseshOes. These consist Of the
following facts: 1t is the shape OF "A
crescent; 1t is a portion OF n horse; 1t
is made from iron. Each Of these has
from time immemOrial been considered
lucky. Anything In the shape OF Il
crescent was always considered u thing
TO bring luck. From the earliest times,
too. at least since the world knew
something OF the qualities Of iron. iron
has been regarded as a thing to give
protection and. incidentally, that would
involve good luck. And, lastly. the
horse since the days of English mythOl-
ogy has been regarded as IA lucky ami
NAL. When. then, we had Il combina-
ton of the ~three-the crescent, the iron
and the horse-in one object. 1t became
a true lucky sign In the eyes Of the
people.-Book Of Wonders.

Just Like Babel.

The difficulties which the ancient
builders Of the Tower of Babel expe-
rienced with the language difficulty
may be easily understood by any one
who has spent Il little time In Basrah,
in Mesopotamia. The dialects In com
mon use at Basrah are said to be o
than forty I'm number. The most pop
ular is Arabic, but it is not the Arabic
of Egypt or Morocco. 1t Is a distinct
tongue. with which the Egyptian or
Moroccan experiences the greatest diff
ficulty. Then there is Persian. with
variations known as Bagdad-Persian.
Neid- Persian and Basrah-Persian
Turkish is frequently heard. while
Armenian and Chaldean are the Ian
guages Of the native Christian popula-
ton. Kurdish is used by another sec
ton of the inhabitants, while Hindu
stani is the language of the Indian
troops.

The Motion Picture Interpreter.

The katSuban Is Il native and unique
product of Japanese life and is called
both IA nuisance and n necessity. The
name Is an Infringement Of katsudO'
benshi and means moving picture
speaker. The katsuban follows every
action shown In motion picture plays
and interprets It to the audience. He
must not only have "A fluent tongue,
but have the ability TO initiate profess
sional actors of both old and new
schools as well as being able to speak
several degrees of falsetto to portray
the various characters In the plays.
The profession Is by no means an easy
one, and the skilled members are al
most as popular as the actors them
selves.
The katsuban cannot be dispensed
with because Of the introduction of for
eign films IN Japan. 1t is necessary to
explain the action; otherwise the pic
ture would be unintelligible to most of
the audience. Even In the case Of ma
tive pictures 1t Is said that as yet many
Of the actors are not sufficiently clever
to enable the management to dispense
with the services of the katsuban.-
