Acts Of Parliament passed in 1743 and
1924 made fortune tellers liable to arrest
as rogues and vagabonds, but they still

The Aztecs, before the conquest of
Mexico by the Spaniards, recognized the
value of trees for the maintenance of
moisture and the promotion of irriga-
tion. Prescott tells us that their law
contained severe penalties against the de-
struction of forests.
The curious dwarf trees seen in China,
oaks, chestnuts, pines and cedars, some
times fifty years old and vet not foot
high are produced by trimming the
roots. The tap root is cut off young

year the leaves grow smaller, and at last
a perfect tree in miniature appears.
The most extraordinary instance of pill
taking is probably that of Mr.. Samuel
Jessups, grazier who died at Hecking-
ton, England, June II, 1917. In twenty
one years he took 226, 934 pills, supplied
by respectable apothecary at Bottes-
ford, which was at the rate of 10, SOC
pills year, or twenty nine pills each
day; but as the patient began with more
moderate appetite, and increased it as nc
went on, in the last five years he took the
pills at the rate of seventy-eight a day,
and in the year 1914 he swallowed not les.

Mind Reading.

Attention is given to the singular
theory in London that 'mind reading, a"
as Of late exhibited is based on the mus
cular action of the hand. At a recent
sitting of savants and amateurs an expert
demonstrated, in a manner wholly salts
factory to the spectators, his interesting
proficiency in muscle reading. Though
he admitted that he could not succeed
against determined opposition, and de-
cared it impossible to read abstract
thoughts, the success attending his direct
efforts was surprising. He says that the
delicate muscles of the hand respond to
the processes Of thought, that mental
action has its correspondence in muscu-
lar movement, and that where the mind is
directed to the contemplation of "a par
ticular object or material fact, there is
produced disturbance of minute mus
cular forces which an adept can detect,
and from which he may receive a guild
ing impulse in his own mind, though its
Influence is unconscious.

Not Wanted.

The opportunities of fun from mis-
directed dialogues are multiplied greatly
by the telephone speech. How easily
mistakes are made with the talking
wire" is illustrated by the following
amusing story in the Omaha Republican,
of a young man who perpetrated a rather
sharp joke on butcher without intend
ing it.
1t appears that some one had killed a
dog belonging to barber on Sixteenth
street, and as the body of tho animal was
not removed as promptly as it should
nave been, the clerk of Whitehouse s
drug store took it upon himself to notify
the police authorities. The following
was the conversation;

Congressional Nominee.

Hon. Hart B. Holton was in Balti-
more on Monday and met a number
of his political friends. 1t is still
claimed that Mr. Holton does not
want the fifth district congressional
nomination, but it is said also to be
pretty certain that he can be pressed
to take it. The Howard county fifth
district republican club, which is in
Mr.. Holton's neighborhood, has print
ed letterheads for its correspondence,
announcing that it is Blaine, Logan
and Holton campaign club.
We are strongly inclined to believe
that, although Mr.. Holton does not
wish, and will not seek; the Republi-
can Congressional nomination, be
will yet receive the same. He has
the "soap," and that is the kind of
political material that some votes are
washed with in a political campaign,
if that is all that is wanting.

melons and canteloupes, but the finest
that have struck our eyes have been
those raised by Mr.. John B. Wells

shipping, during the present season,
large numbers of this excellent fruit
to Baltimore city. Their varieties
consist of the gray and blue ice-rind
kind. The "sanctumn of the CAPITAL

of the larger seize melons, but when
they do put in an appearance we
shall be able to speak more under

A peculiar affection has appeared
among the watermelons in some sec
tions of the State. 1t is an excre-
scence several shades darker than the
rind, varying in size from a bean to
an inch in diameter. 1t gives the
melons a very unsightly appearance,
and is injuring their sale. The plan
ters and pungymen have named the
new disease "freckles" Yesterday
there were several boats loaded with
icerinds afflicted with freckles, and they
sold quite slowly. 1t is claimed that
the trouble does not affect the quality
or flavor of the melon, but is entirely
confined to the rind. Many planters
state that they have never noticed
the trouble before, and are at a loss
to account for it. Others, however,
think it is caused by the wet weather
which has lately prevailed, killing the
vines and extending its effects to the
rind of the fruit The price of melons
dropped considerably yesterday in
the Baltimore market, ranging from
$3 to $l2 per hundred.

make daily excursion trips from An

a trip of four hours on the beautiful

Antifermentine is simple, harmless
preparation, free from taste, smell and
color, that has the property of stopping
and preoenting fermentation in all vegeta-
bic food. 1t is especially useful for pre-
serving fruit of all kinds, retaining the
natural fresh appearance and taste Of tho
fruit. Its use does away with labor, and
makes what has been a hot, disagreeable
task, delight and pleasure. 1t subst-
tutes for the summer heat of the kitchen,
the cool shade of the lawn or piazza. It's
results are never doubtful when used
according to directions, and Strawberry
Short Cake, and Peach and Berry Pies
can be had in winter as well as in summer
Its use is profitable and economical, for it
sdCes one-haf of the sugar, saves the jars
broken by heat, saUes the fruit cooked
