Pictures in tea,cupl Well, the idea
is not altogether a new one, and many OF
my little friends have, 70 doubt, tried
tho old fashioned plan of making pic
lures, or, as think it Is called, 'stelling
fortunes, y in q tea-cup. In fact have q
friend who is quite renowned for her
success as fortune-teller through her
skill in shaking and tapping a tea-cup
until the grounds, or tea leaves, in the
bottom of the tea-cup assume, in a rude
way, certain shapes or forms representing
people, animals and various other images
which she processes to understand as re-
ferring in some way to the person whose
fortune she happens to be telling at the
time. | was present once when she told,
In this way. the fortune of young lady.
The prophecy and the method of making

the gist of it all was, that 10 a short
time young gentleman of extremely
prepossessing appearance would arrive,
and that he was, in some unex-
planned way, to exert a powerful
influence on the future prospects Of the
young lady. Wishing to discover what

the imagination, might be accepted as
resembling q very spare, delicate, and
altogether dilapidated young man. With
the aid of teaspoon, and using a few
other grounds or leaves that were lying
on the bottom of the cup, / quickly
changed the young man into most dis
reputable-looking old tramp. with big
bundle on his back, and accompanied BY
Q ferocious- looking bulldog. Then /
awaited the result. Presently, the young
lady whose fortune had been foretold
took up the cup, with blush of pleas
ure, to examine its contents. The mo-
ment she saw the dreadful figure Of the
old tramp, she exclaimed, = What hor-

And cruel look, where the grass was thick
