facts only demonstrate the existence OF
a great deal of idle curiosity and per-

are better evidences OF the hold astrolo-
gv has as fn du steele fad. In New
York and Boston there are numbers OF
shrewd, practical men, spectators In
the stock, produce and cotton markets
particularly in the first mentioned
who pay five dollars per month for
forecasts OF the days and even the times
OF DAYS when operations are advisable,
and when it will be best for them TO
carefully refrain from doing business.
And they govern themselves according
ly. me of them said to the writer:

Very well. Here is something more.
There are three astrological journals
(monthlies) published in this country,
three In England. ore in France and
one in Germany. They are strictly

By mail. You will not find in them any
such promiscuous horoscoping OF the
multitude as in the newspapers before
