The uli.lll of belief III "horseshoe
luck" Is so um lent thst tt never bus
been determined with certainty, and
no superstition Is more universal. Bret

With their use.
The Chinese, for Instance, suy they

the close rvscmblanee lu shape between

prlOdptl doiilea.
Ask a Turkish Mohmninedan for In
formation on the subject and he will
tell you that It Is because they are in
form like a crescent, the sacred Ml'
Idem of Islam.
A Polish .lew will explain that nt the
paaaovor the blood sprinkled upon the
iintei and doorposts, in the manner
directed by their ritual, forms the chief
points of nit nrch; hence, obviously,
the value of arch shaped talismans
such ns horseshoes are.
The stolid and unlmaglnatira Rus
sian peasant, on the other hand, main
tains that the luck associated with the
horseshoe is due cbjofly to the inetal.
Irrespective of Its shape. Iron beluji

nullify the malevolent designs of evil
Spirits and goblins.
Very different Is the story by which
the irishman seeks to account for his
liking for the same tallsmaillc symbol
The mime "Ironland" or "Ireland," Ue
will tell you. originated ns follows:
The whole island was onee submerg
ed In the sen. out of which it only rose
once in seven years, and then only for
n very short time. Many attempts bad
been made lo break the spell and In
duce the country to remain perma
nently above the waters, but nil were

turer threw a horseshoe from a boat
on to the topmost peak of the Wleklow
mountains Just as they were disap
pearing beneath the waves. Then ai
last win tbe ban removed. The Emcr
nld Isle Aegan forthwith to rise again
from the ocean depths Into which It
had sunk. And It has been dry land
more or less ever since.
In England, up to comparatively re
cent times horseshoes wen? extensive
ly used almost everywhere as anti
witch charms, and the custom is not
even yet an extinct one. No witch, it
used to be said, could enter n building
over the door of which a horseshoe -or.
better 9(111, three horseshoes bat!
been nllixed, prongs downward.
The origin of this particular belief Is
referable to the old legend of St.
Dltnstnn. This versatile English eccle
siastic was a skilled farrier, and one
day while nt work in his forgo the evil
one entered In disguise and requested
Dunstnn to shoe his "single hoof."
The saint, although he at once recog
nlzed his malign customer, acceded
but caused hltn so much pain during
the opera 1 16b that Satan begged blm to
desist. This Dunstnn did, but only
a .'tor he had made the evil one prom
Ise that nertlier he nor any of the less
er evil spirits, his servants, would eve!
molest the inmates of a house where
horseshoe was displayed.
