On one of the ocean steamers once a
friend Of mine was . passenger. There
was a lady aboard with her daughter.
She was from Wisconsin. She said 70
30 often that finally they took her word
for it and believed it. She knew pretty
nearly everything outside Of Wiscon-
sin, too. Her daughter had to indorse
70 many extraordinary scraps Of infor-
nation that she could only say, Eyes,
ma." when her mother called upon
her to confirm her statements. The
old lady had a lovely time, for she
poked her lose into everybody's bust
ness, from the passenger who was
sick to the captain who was well and
running the ship as well as he could
with her assistance. One day the pur-
ser, the captain and several others
were sitting around smoking, when
the Wisconsin encyclopedia came on
deck. As she came up the purser said,
in an ordinary conversational tone,
with q wink:

There are many ways by which the stars
respond to inquirers respecting the secrets
of the future. One of the simplest is to take
the first star you notice, count the number
between it and the Milky Way, halve that,
and it will give you the number of letters
in your husbands name. Another is to
select the number of stars in a constella-
ton, add it to the date of your birth, and
divide the whole by twelve keep the result
in your mind until you shake hands with
some one, then add the letters in that per-
sons name to what you have divide by
seven, and you will get the number of
months before you will be married. If it
should run over thirteen and be even you II
marry young man, if uneven an old one.
If over twice thirteen and even he will be
red headed, if uneven he will be bald and
very rich.
To tell whether your future husband will
be fond of you and trusting, or jealous and
tired of you, selecta star as you first cast up
Your eyes, and count the number between
it and the clipper" or cancer" and add
thirteen. Halve that, and if the result be
even he will adore you, if uneven you will
have no peace. Clouds shooting across the
sky while you are counting mean rivals

When his holiness was first crowned he de

''See here" said the priest, you must
not go on in that way when you enter the

Modern Psychologists regard the frontal
part of the brain as the seat Of character
and intellect. After the removal of this
part in dogs and monkeys no paralysis OF
any muscles or loss of sensibility occurs,
but singular changes in the behavior, emo
tons and character of the animals have
been observed. They become livelier, rest
less, impatient, irritable, quarrelsome and
violent. Their movements seem purpose
less, and their attention to what is going
on around them and their intelligence are
diminished. These observations have been
confirmed in the case of human beings
