Reading the Cards.

There are variety of ways in which
the cards must be handled, writes an
amateur fortune-teller in the Chicago
Tribune, but the would be seeress must
and always assume a very mysterious air,
sort over her cards with as much care
as Jew diamond-dealer does his stock
IN trade. Then the seeress must know
something about the character of her
subject if she wants to be interesting
OF course, if she has a lively imagi-
nation, she can dispense with this last
requisite, but if she comes near the
truth in some few things, her repu.
tatlon for the possession of occult pow
ers will be increased manifold. The
cards themselves will furnish numerous
suggestions. The queens of diamonds
and hearts are blonde women; the
queen of hearts is valuable in love
and matrimonial affairs, and the queen
of diamonds suggests an heiress The
queens of spades and clubs pass read
lily for handsome brunette ladies, who
may be mated with courtly blonde
gentlemen represented by the kings of
hearts and diamonds. The jack of
diamonds is a mercenary, fortune-hunt-
ing dandy, and can only succeed when
the seeress and the girl whose fortune is
being told are not on good terms. The
other jacks may be Jumped, and will
pass for villains of one type or another,
while the four kings, two blondes and
two brunettes, will give men enough for
almost any woman to weave romance
out of.
Still other ideas are suggested by the
cards. A row of rich, warm, red cards
shows that the person by whom they
were cut must have before her, or after
her, as the case may be, period of
comfort, ease, and elegance. If broken
here and there by black card, it only
means that sorrow is to be mixed with
the sunshine, and that excess of jov
shall not lead to calamity. If the SOM
Der black cards follow the subject, look
out for squalls and trouble. A deuce
stands for carriage ride, and four
spot clinging close to the subject means
an ocean voyage. The eight-spot
means letter, and it can come in the fu-
ture or it may have been received in the
knows of her subjects history-and it
may contain good or bad news by its
proximity to the cards representing the
various phases of life. The six-spot is
an odd card, and can be made to do
duty in variety of ways. 1t can be a
peace-maker or cross-eyed mother-in
law, at the caprice of the seeress, and
| astonishing results can be obtained by
proper manipulation of the card. The
ace of hearts in close proximity to the
| heroine OF the fortune, and in the alb
sence of men, means maidenhood, but
if there are one or two gentlemen round
about, she may be considered on the
sunny side of thirty and still eligible.
The ace of diamonds is suggestive OF
money, and the ace of clubs as OBJ
stacles, which the brave ard energetic
always surmount. The tray is an ener-
getic little card, and always means that
the other woman or man who appears
in the layout is a rival, and is liable to
make trouble.

WHEN A MAN FEELS MEAN,

He stood on the pavement before the store
A great dry goods bazaar,
While feminine tide came surging up
And rolled from near and far,
And they gaze on him with dreadful scorn,
With looks that wither and sting,
With looks of utter supreme contempt
AS base and supertuous thing,
He was reckoned wise 'mong his fellow-men,
And was numbered among the great,
And they laid their homage at his feet
As ruler of the State,
But there alone in that feminine throng
He stood like a a trembling slave,
A fatal focus of whitening eyes
And he longed tor the cool, green grave,
Oh, man may gain deathlcss renown,
And all fame that the world can give,
But if caught in a woman's dry goods crowd
He feels too mean to live.

How He Got Reorufts.

Secretary Whitney.
When the war was at lite height Col,
Payne and myself were classmates at
Yale College. One day he was missed
from his classroom. 1t soon became
rumored about the college that he had
gnmmarily departed to join the army.
Ills father anticipated his appearance at
Columbus, Ohio, in search Of q commits
sion to raise company. He at once
wired the governor, requesting him not
to give him commission. Therefore
when young Payne made his application
it WAS refused. Undaunted, he quietly
set out for Illinois. Gov. Yates prompt
ly acceded to his request. With his COM
mission In his pocket and a captain g
uniform and equipment on his person.
he went to Southern Illinois, or Egypt,
as it was then called.
The young captain opened his head
quarters and awaited the appearance of
men willing to recruit. None came.
Despairing Of raising company, Capt.
Payne determined to try some other To-
cality, but before departing he conclud-
ed to reciproate the numerous hospital
tiles shown him by giving a big
elbow out" He hired the biggest hotel
and all the conveyances for ten miles
around. The people, men, matro"s
and maids poured in from all direct 5
and bad a big time. The young IN, 4.
began to cheer for the captain and want
ed to enlist on the spot
"Well, men," he said, "you mean you
wish to enlist tonight. Call in the
morning and let me know how you feel
then" Enough to fill two companies
did turn out the next morning. In the
dreadful marches and counter hes.
and charges and counter-charges of
Chickamauga, Capt. Payne's company
OF sons of Illinois were marvels OF val
or. In the desperate assaults upon
Missionary Ridge, Capt. Payne again
was applauded throughout the armies of
the Ohio, the Cumberland and the
Tennessee for unparalleled deeds of
bravery and WAS borne off the bloody
field with two.of the enemies bullets in
his body, one of which remained un-
removed many years after the angel of
peace spread her white wings over the
sisterhood of states of the republic.

THE popular notion that the inhab-
itants of Chinese cities are given to I'M
wholesome habits does not seem to be
well founded. DR. Dudgeon. in a re-
cent work on the diet, dress and dwell
ings of. the Chinese, says that the peo-
pie have admirably adapted themselves
to their surroundings, and enjoy a
maximum of comfort. "They have a
good many lessons yet to teach us in
respect to living and practical health. "
After an experiment Of over twenty
years with them, he says that "they are
subject to fewer diseases, their diseases
are more amenable to treatment, and
they possess greater freedom from
acute and infammatory affections OF
all kinds, if, indeed, these can be said
to exist at all, than obtains among
Western nations.

THE FLOODS CAME
And Ihey Came Quick, and With Disas-

A terrific rainstorm prevailed at
Wheeling, w. Va, on the 10Th, flooding
cellars along Main Street, and distrib-
ut1ng debris from the hillsides on many
thoroughfares. While a number of
people were standing on one of the
bridges of the Baltimore & Ohio span
ming the Wheeling River, the bridge
gave way. precipltating twenty to thirty
persons into the river. Eight per-
sons were rescued, but it is feared
that ten to twenty persons persisted.
At Caldwell's Run. in the lower end of
the city, four dwellings were swept
away by. the flood and eleven persons
drowned. The flood was simply ap-
palllng and details are hard to get. Of
the persons on the bridge ten are known
to have been saved. The names of the
lost cannot be given yet. The river
rose three feet in five minutes. Out
the National road, the trains, coal
chutes, houses and all are gone. The
Wheeling q Elm Grove Railroad was
swept away for miles, and the roads COW
cred SIX feet with water. Over the river
the rum is even worse. The storm lasted
less than an hour, flooding the streets
from house to house. The Western

Main and Market Streets as bad. On
the upper end of Eoff Street, high on the
hill in the Second Ward, the water was
over the tops of stoves and like objects
and when it receded left sediment on
the stoves. Wagons in the Valley of
Wheeling Creek were buried beneath
the mud and debris. The Chaplain
Street and Eoff Street bridges are both
gone and Wood Street bridge impossible.
Nine persons living on Caldwell's Run
are known to be drowned, and six
houses on Caldwell's Run are gone.
The list will doubtless be increased.
The Pittsburg, Wheeling & Kentucky
division of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati &
ST. Louis road is badly washed at places
and at others covered foot deep. The
Ohio River trestle at the creek is gone;
sewers burst in several places, and
roads were washed so as to be impassa-

A substantial bridge on the suburban
Elm Grove motor line at Leatherwood
was washed away. The loss in the city
will reach $4,000, and the damage to
the crops is inestimable. The ruin
wrought by the cloud-burst out of town
is awful, and can only be ascertained
definitely when the means of communi-
cation is restored. A man named kelz
was washed away by Bogg's Run, and
he and his horses were drowned. Four
lives were lost at Elm Grove, five miles
east
