that he "didn't think muoh of tne

that "tbe re-election of Chamberlain

Residence and Business
Property in Medford.
WITH tho country filling up rapidly and the fact evident that Medford is
going to double in population within the next three years, the sagacious
among our citizens are getting hold of inside property and securing the most
desirable residence property, in advance of the newcomer, and we want to call
attention to the number of good business propositions which we now have on
our list. Call and talk it over, and you will find some talking to interest you.
AND RESIDENCE LOTS: We have concluded to meet thedemand for small
lots of good rich land by dividing the large lots of the Garnett Sub-Division
into average sized building lots to give the people what they want, and will give
good terms and cheap prices. LOOK THIS MATTER UP and ACT at ONCE.
THERE Never was a Better Time to invest in Medford property than right
now. and if you do NOT Secure a Nice Home this Spring, you will wonder in a
month from now how you came to bo so short-sighted as to let the opportunity
go by- ' y

HORSESHOES.
The Three Lackr Elements That Are
Aaaoetated In Them.
The superstition tbat associates the
horseshoe with good luck la very old.
It la said to prevail not only among
English spenklng people, but In all the
races of Europe and lu southern Asia.
Antiquarians are undocldcd whether
fta origin has to do with the material
from which the horseshoe Is made or
with Its shape,
Tbe ancients believed that iron as a
metal had grcut secret powers, and
they drove nails Into their walls as a
protection against pestilence. The
Arabs wben overtaken by severe storms
In tho desert cry out, "Iron, lronl"
which they think will propitiate the
evil spirits which hare raised the
storm. The Scandinavians have beld
from time immemorial tbe Idea that It
was lucky to flnil a piece of Iron.
As regards the form of the horseshoe,
thero Is no doubt that among thean
clouts the crescent form was much fa
vored aa having lucky or preservative
powers. Ornaments were shaped In
this way to drive away evil spirits.
The Chinese have their tombs built In
a semicircular form, like a horseshoe,
and the Moors use the same furm In
their architecture.
It may be remarked that In tbe my
thology of Europe horses were also re
garded as luck bearers, and supersti
tion once supposed that a florae's boot
placed under the bed would cure cer
tain complaints. The horseshoe there
fore may be sakl to unite within Itself
three lucky elements it Is In the shape
of a crescent. It is made of Iron, and it
has been taken from a horse.

NATURE'S HOUSE CLEANING.
Rainy Season In Caraeaa the Cltr'a
Sanitary Salvation.
Just what Caracas would do without
Its rainy season I cannot Imagine, for
the city Is far from being clean and
sanitary. Garbage Is thrown Into tbe
yards for tho vultures to feed upon,
dust and papers accumulate In the
streets, and tbe visitor Is about to pro
nounce the city the dirtiest he has ever
seen when nature suddenly decides to
put things to rights. An ordinary rain
fall would not suffice now. A thorough
flushing is needed, and ' nothing short
of a deluge will do it
But somewhere up in the mountain
tops the deluge Is forming, and pres
ently, a great black vapor overspreads
the valley. It comes slowly at first.
as If to warn the people to go In
doors, but when It has acquired suffi
cient density It falls. In a moment al
most the streets and courtyards are
flooded, the fantastic waterspouts that
overhang the sidewalks pour out their
Btreams like gigantic kettle spouts, and
loud Is the noise of the splashing and
splattering.
Half an hour later one tiptoes along
the shiny pavements, as If over a new
ly scrubbed floor. Above him Is a sky
of spotless blue, while the only clouds
to be seen are Insignificant putcbes of
white along the mountain sides. Yet
In an Incredibly short space of time
the whole process may be repeated.

GOOD MUSIC.
It ! Often a Tonic and Always
Character Builder,.
Good music Is a powerful tonic to
ninny people, especially those suffering
from melancholia. It lifts them out of
their solemn moods, dispels gloom and
despondency, kills discouraged feelings
and gives new hope, new life and new
vigor. It seems to put a great many
people Into proper tune. It gives them
the keynote of truth and Uenuty.
strikes the chords of harmony, dispels
discord from the life, scatters clouds
and brings sunshine.
All good music is a character build
er because Its constant suggestion of
harmony, order and beauty puts the
mind Into a normal attitude. Music
clears the cobwebs out of many minds,
so that they can think better, st bet
ter and live better. Some writers are
dependent upon music for their inspi
ration aud their moods. Somehow it
brings the muse to them. It adds bril
liancy to the brain and facility to the
pen, which they cannot seem to get In
any other way.
Good music seems to give us a touch
of the divine and to put us In contact
with divinity. It drives out evil
thoughts, making us ashamed of them.
It lifts us above petty annoyances and
little worries of life and gives us a
glimpse of the Ideal which the actual
Is constantly obscuring. Success,

Mistakes,
A Convaleecent'e Bedtime.
A convalescent patient should never
be permitted to sit up late at night
After tbe evening meal It Is well for
all visitors to be excluded from the
room, and tbe patient's mind should be
kept as free from excitement as possi
ble. The hour for retiring should be
early and such means employed for
aiding sleep as may be directed by tbe
physician. A glass of hot milk at bed
time la often a good device for pro
moting sleep.

London was a place of importance
even un'der.the Romans and was fam

the first century of the Christian era,
Prom the Romans It received mnnlcl

their main features to the present day.
In Saxon times It was. In reality, a
small independent state.
