A Famous Fortune Teller.

London Telegraph: A once famous and
even fashionable fortune teller, Mother
Moreau." has Just died in Paris. She at
tanned the height of noteriety in the days
OF the empire, when she was consulted not
only by the cocottes, but also by the CO.
c!odettes, as the society beauties of the
time were called. Her rooms were usually
thronged in the afternoon. when her fash
lonabie callers came to have their for
tunes" told, or rather to consult her in
their affairs of commingled business and
pleasure. Nine. Mo,eau was i, skillful
caltomaucienne, and her mastery manipu-
latlon OF the cards must have enabled her
to realize considerable income. Just as
IN IN ordinary prosiac professional life, Nine.
Moreau had formally taken over the prem
Uses and practice Of an equally prophetic
predecessor, Nine. Lenormand, who. in
her day, was veritable Witch Of Endor,
and even preceded modern spiritualists in
evoking phantoms from the Vastly depth Of
the neither regions, or in enabling custom
ers to have comfortable and profitable talks
with the ghosts of their grandmothers.
The deceased cartomancienne, who did not
profess to dabble in the black art" like
her notorious predecessor. and confined
! herself strictly to the cards, died in her
seventy-first year.

Row to Overcome the Dangers Of Ex-
DOSure.

Francis O'Reilly, the well-known livery
man of No. Is Prince street, New York,
says of ALLCocK's Porous PLAsTERs:
For the last forty-two years I have
been engaged in the livery and hacking
business. am greatly aided by my four
boys. We are much exposed to the wealth

TIERS OF very great service. We use them
as chest protectors, placing one on the
chest and one on the pit of the stomach.
They not only ward off the cold, but act
as tonic.
We IRE frequently affected with rheu-
matism, kinks in the back, and pains in
the side; but one or two of A11cocK' S
PhAsTERs quickly cure u.s. My wife and
daughter have been using ALLcocK's
PLAsTERs for weak back, and think the
world of them. l have now been using
them for twenty years, and always have a

Hint to Puhy People.

From their arrival on this planet to their
usually early departure from it, people of weak
constitutions and angular physiques pass a sort
OF half-existence. Like dormice they burrow in
their home retreats, afraid of heat, afraid Of
cold, constantly afraid that the shadow of the
dread reaper will mnterialize and exact the for
felt which he demands from all, sooner or later.
No finer medicinal assurance of comparative
vigor for the feeble exists than that afforded by
Hostetters Stomach Bitters Used with per-
sstence-not with spurts and spasms-this
genial and professionally commended tonic will
do much toward infusing strength into a puny
system, and rounding Off scrawny angles in the
human figure. Appetite nerve tranquility and
nightly repose are encouraged by it, and a
malarinl, rheumatic, bilious tendency overcome.
1t establishes digestion and prevents kidney

AN ENGLIsIIM.4N'S TOUR OF THE
WORLD.
Among the most singular characters
that | have ever met" said young
gentleman who had Travelled consider
ably, "was young Englishman whom
ran across in San Diego. I was with
a friend in that town who was going
down to Ensenada, Lower California, in
his yacht. Peyton is the name of my
friend, and he owns huge rancho on
that peninsula. Well, we were going
to the yacht when this man of whom I
speak came up to Peyton and said to
him. I am an Englishman, and would
like to ship with you as common sea-
man. His language and his address
were that of gentleman, and we both
stared at him. He continued: I am,
as you can see, somewhat above the
ranks of men who follow seafaring
calling. But the truth OF my story is !:
/ left London few months ago, de-
termined to go around the word upon
nothing. lhave reached San Diego, and
Intend to travel for a good many years
without taking tive-cent piece, but by
working my way My friend took
him. At Ensenada he left us. He re-
fused money, and started to walk across
the peninsula with small supply Of
bread. We afterwards heard that he
had successfully accomplished that ter
lble tramp. You know that country is
the most horrible desert. There is
probably not habitation in the inte-
lior, and yet that man walked clear
across the peninsula when brave hearts
have quailed at the attempt, even when
they were mounted. San Francisco

azine in which he takes gloomy view Of
society in America. He thinks everything
here tends to the material, light and flip
