An old and very popular superstition, almost universally prevalent among peusanfry ascribes to the horseshoe (especially to one which has been found In the rood by clinnce) the power of barring the passage of witches. For this pur pose the shoe Is nailed to the door of the 'threshold, and Hone In his "Year Book," snys, "Nulling of Jiorseshoes 8Pciiih to have been practiced ns well to keep witches In as to keep them out. In Monmouth street, London, many horseshoes nulled to the thresh olds, were to be seen In 1797; In 1813 Sir Henry Ellis counted seventeen horseshoes In thnt street, but In 3852 only eleven remained. The great N'el- is .son was or n .superstitious turn, and having great faith In the luck of a horseshoe had one nailed to the mast of the "Victory. Meridian of Greenwich. The meridian of Greenwich Is gen erally accepted as vthe starting lino from which to reckon longitude nnd time all over the earth.

Davles, who has set eomo hundreds of Welsh children on the Interesting work of compiling a record of Welsh rural lore a sort of new Doomsday book has been Inquir ing tho reason for tho curious fact (recorded by ono of tho new chron iclers) thnt whllo Welsh cows aro In variably given Welsh names,. Welsh horses are as Invariably given English ones. The explanation, says the Man chester Guardian, will be found a long wny back in history. The first owner i of horses In Wales were the nobles, many of them foreigners from across the border. Their horses naturally had English names and as the native Welshman, too, began to use horses instead 'of oxen, ho gave them tho familiar names to which he had he conio'accustomcd. So It Is thnt to this day horses In Wales beur such names as Boxer and Duchess, whllo tho cows remain as true Welsh, with nnmes like Siren and Pensgwnr. M&& oc.o.

Tho serum specialists at tho College of Agriculture are of tho opinion that practfedly all of the nbcesses or oth er forms of infection following tho administration of serum and virus ro due to faulty administration and not to the hcrum nnd vitus. (All J brands f.f serum nnd virus Included.) ' t One of the principal sources, of serum contamination is the container' into which tho serum is poured ondJ from which tho syringe is filled. It, Is prncticolly impossible to vaccinate pigs without raising considerable dust, consequently much of thiB dust1 gets into your scrum when tho syr-1 inee is being filled. I The next most frequent source of contamination Is syringe nnd needles which have not been properly steril ized. I To tfot aw.iy from these two sources of trouble the btato berum plant rec ommends that tho serum and virus be 'drawn from tho bottlori through a tube or necdlo inserted through tho c,otk, and thnt "syringes and needles be sterilized by boillnff 20 minutes just before using.

NEVER LACK OF EXCITEMENT Railway Workers on East Jndian Lines Surely Need Not Complain of the Monotony. At lonely spots on tho Madras rail way, In India, may bo seen small stone built huts with Iron gates. They are referred to by railway men as "tiger boxes." The object of these little cabins Is to afford protection for pointsmen and other workers against the tigers that frequent tho Jungles In the vicin ity. These ferocious nnlmnls have In the past manifested a peculiar taste for railway men, nnd It was found neces sary to place retreats at tho moro Isolated parts of tho track. In each hut Is placed half a gallon of water and a rough bunk. In East Africa railway workers use monkeys to warn them of the pres ence of lions and other wild beasts. The monkeys are placed In cages o high posts or other prominent posi tions. They scream when they scent the approach of lions.
