gypsy Queen, of course, and she told for-
tunes. She looked like a witch, and cara
luhy cultivated what may bs supposed To
De tae manners of one. She let her lone
black hair fail Gown her back and danrle
about her swarthy face. She wore d,n@v
nondescript roEe. She spoke in
mystic phrases, although her enunciation
was strictly cockney. She was shrewd
creature and many of her prophecies were
startling because they indicated knowl-
edge OF the person under consideration.
The Misses Evarts We're with bevy OF girls
who visited the gypsy queen, with Mrs.
Harrison Us a chaperon. It was all for a
lark, and the SUI mise is that one of the
jocose nlaidens found opportunity to give
points to the witch. Anyhow, she knew
things about some Of them, and used her in
formation quite worldly. When it came
Mrs Harrison's turn the gypsy took her
hand, examined its lines, gazed into her
face. and said:
I'm the third generation it shall come to
you
Being asked what she meant, she talked
vaguely, Eut reiterated prediction that
something fortunate was going to happen
to the lady-sonlething that would be q
repetition of events that had occurred in
the family two generations previous. The
Misses Evarts are, not supernaturalists,
however, and they suppose that somebody,
recalling the Presidency of the first Gen.
Harrison, prompted the fortune teller to
make the point which she did. It must
stand historically, however, as sort of
prophecy that will be fuislle when Mrs.
gets into the Whi.e Honse as its
mistress.

To or Friends and Patrons:
1883 has gone from the history
Of our business. The bright year,
the best we have ever seen has
faded out, but not so its exper-
ieLces and encouragements. A
thousand thanks to you who have
helped TO crowd the year with
gratifying incidents. The I'M
petus given by your patronage
and encouragement will lead us
to better things, to greater
achievements during the coming
year. 1883 has passed. We can
rest on past achievements and
crawl indolenty along. Not even
for short time after a busy hol-
iday season shall we go into
winter quarters, but shall open
the new campaign with the first
business day of the New Year.

Ten cheaper than you will find
them elsewhere, reduced from

ourselves the question: Why is

Paris by irrigation on tie fields of Ach.
eres, a commission appointed by the
French Senate recently visited the 'irriga-
ton fields at Berlin. These are now in
working order, and furnish the most ex-
tcnsivc example of sewage publication by
irrigation in the world. Berlin now con
tains more than thirteen hundred thous.
and inha itants, having trebled in popu-
lation during the last twenty years. In
tie outlying districts the cess, ,.ool IS still
used, but the whole of the closely built
portion of the city, containing 1,l5O. 900
inhabitants, is thoroughly severed, and
all waste matters from this part of the
population are carried by water to the
pumping stations, from which they are
distributed on the irrigation fields.
