Fortune Tellers.

The business men OF New York are
noted for shrewdness and hard sense
and would be the last persons to suspect
of superstitious weakness, yet unless
they are wrongly accused many of them
consult the fortune tellers and clairvOy
ants quite regularly. If such a man as
Commodore Vanderbilt had even the
smallest particle of faith in the female
seer, there need be but little difficulty
In accepting the talk that puts many
less noted men in the same category. AT
all events, it is frequently said of this
man or that one that he habtually calls
upon one or another of our modern
wlerd sisters for information and advice
about his business. Also, that there
are tradesmen and others of that class
among us who never begin an enterprise
Till it has been approved by some one
who pretends that he or she can read
the future. Not long since | was a
listener to a conversation that bore
directly on this subject. The persons
between whom it passed were two
gentlemen of considerable shrewdness.

liams has been to see a fortune teller

"That is a singular question. Why
do you askP"
"Well, | hear he is making prepara
tions to enlarge his business"
"And what of that?"
"Why, don't you know that he never
does anything of that sort without
interviewing some old woman before be
begins?"
"You don't mean that Williams is
fool enough to believe in the nonsense
of the fortune tellers?"
Certainly he is, and supposed that
every one knew It,"
"DOes he follow their advice ~
81 guess he does, about as closely as
he can. He has full faith in what they
tell him."
"And how does it generally come
outP"
"Well, he gets along pretty much as
others do, none the better for the
fortune tellers, of course, and possibly
none the worse. Why, there are scores
Of fellows in New York who would not
put ten dollars in new venture till
they had first consulted some clairvoy-
ant or fortune teller about it,"
The enlightened nineteenth century
has some dark spots, after all. But so,
the scientists say, has the sun. The
same scientists, though, would probably
smile very Significantly if one asked
their opinion of clairvoyants.

sunday in san FrancI.co.

This cosmopolitan city is not made
up of church going people. The Sab
bath is more of a day of recreation
than of religious observance. ThOus-
ands 90 over 10 Oakland, or ride out to
tie Cliff House TO spen the day. 1t is
regular holiday. The three thousand
] barroOms and beer gardens do lively
business. Sunday target companies
have now given way to hunting parties
in search of field sports, and you have
only TO ride few hours in the cars he
fore you will hear the crack OF the
huntsman's gun and the yelling of his
dog. All sports and gayeties are open
and above board. There is no attempt
at cOncealment. the representatives
of every nation have their own way of
enjoying themselves in passing the
Sabbath, and those who do not observe
It's sanctity are the foreign classes
which are SO largely in the ascendancy
here In point of numbers. The thea
ters and other places of amusement are
generally Gro wded. The most popular
resort is called Woodward's Gardens,
which attracts thousands of people on
Sundays. Ii Is such remarkable place
OF entertainment that it calls for more
than passing notice. The price of ad-
mission Is only two bits. When inside
you find the grounds very extensive,
covering a good many acres, while the
variety of sights are of such a rare and
unique character that you don't wonder
that thousands go and see them.-On
all sides you tiud curiOsities from all
parts of the world in mineralOgy,
ichthyOlogy, crustaceans, mollusks, in-
sects, oInithOlogy and quadrupeds. In
stIOllng over the grounds the eye falls
upon parterres of the Tarest eXOtics,
while the melodies from avlaries of
birds from every cline delight the ear.
You can plunge into illuminated cav
erns filled with aquaiiums of fish of all
kinds; you can Iecline on green, velvety
slopes shaded with grotesque trees from
all quarters of the globe, while at your
feet runs crooked, ripping stream
over its pebbly bed, and then forming
a succession of cascades before it de.
bouches into pond, where a boat is at
the disposal of amateur oarsmen; you
may behold various strata of rock of
immense size piled up to initiate wild
natural beauty, with dlmples of hill
locks wet with spray of fountains and
fringed with trailing vines; you can
step into an immense inclosure and
take a look at an unsurpassed collection
OF wild, ravenOus animals confined in
cages, and who, when prodded by their
keepers, will startle you by their roar
ings; you can vile away an hour in a
concert room, where visitors are re-
freshed with beer and band of music;
you can pass another hour in an amphi-
theatre and become dazed with feats of
zampillereostation. And all this for
twenty-five cents, and on Sunday rs
well as week days. Such is life in San
Francisco that | cannot realize | am
living in an American city.

as readily as affections of the lungs ana
bronchia. And this, because the action
of the new remedy was general; re-
moving distractions from all parts Of
the system, purifying the blood, and
revitalizing the nervous centres.
Health comes as a natural consequence.
After a few years of unobtrusive
practice In this new direction, and with
results which alike surprised both the
doctor and his patients, the more thor
ough work Of general administration
of the oxygen treatment was given into
the hands Of DR.. @. X. Starkey, at No.
lll2 Girard street. Philadelphia, a
medical practitioner OF over twenty
years standing. 1t is now more
than ten years since he became
identified with this treatment, and
in that time its remarkable curative
and re-vltalizing power have become
known In all parts of the country, and
hundreds stand ready to give their
grateful testimony in Its favor. More
recently DR.. G. E. Palen, physician
of high character and professional abil-
ity, has become associated with DR..
Starkey in the work of introducing this
new agent Of cure more widely to the
public.
In cases of low vitality, and in con-
valescence, this treatment, it is alleged
has been found of great value. After
medicine has done its work of breaking
up some acute disease, and the physi-
clan leaves his patient, as he must to
nature for repair and restoration, he too
often finds that nature builds again so
slowly that the period of convalescence
Is often prolonged through weary
months, while in too many cases the
old vitality is never restored. In this
condition, 1t is said that compound OK
ygen is wonderful restOrer of force
and taking the theory of its action to be
true, 1t is just here that its value should
most certainly appear,
If all that is claimed for this new
combination of oxygen and nitrogen be
indeed true-and we have the most un-
equivocal testimony to its curative pow
er from many persons of high character
and intelligence, who are well known
throughout the country then it looks
as if a brighter day had come for thou
sands of invalids who have heretofore
sought relief from suffering and slow

The Manufacture of Matches.

This industry has now arisen to great
proportions. The demand for matches
In Great Britain Is eight daily for each
individual; in Beglum, nine per capita
and in Europe and North America. the
average is sixty for every inhabitant.
To meet this demand matches are pro
duced by the millions, and the waxed
taper, before division into small pieces,
is measured by the mile. 1t is stated
that one pound of phosphorus is suffi-
Client for 100000 matches, though the
proportion varies greatly. The largest
makers are In Austria, two of whom
use twenty tons of phosphorus each per
anpum, and produce forty five thousand
million matches. One firm in New
York use annually zoo, 900 feet of choice
whlte-pine timber, 100000 pounds OF
sulphur, and 150 tons of strawb board for
the boxes. Great Improvement has been
made In the machinery for bundlinR
the wood aud for making the boxes
