FATE IN A TEACUP.

Spoonlng Couples Should Learn All Their
Lessons BY Heart.
Here are few old superstitions re-
garding the ever friendly cup that
cheers: If while the tea is being made
and the lid, which has been removed to
pour in the water, is forgotten, it is a
sure sign that some one will drop in
to tea"
IT single person happens to have
two spoons in his or her saucer, it is a
prediction that the fortunate Tor I'M
Fortunately drinker of that particular
cup will be married within a year from
that date.
If you put cream in your cup before
the sugar it will ''cross your love" so
be very careful.
If tea stalk floats in q cup it is
called beau" and when this is seen
unmarried women should stir their tea
very quickly round and round and
round. and then hold the spoon upright
in the center of the cup. If the beau"
is attracted to the spoon and clings to
it he will be sure to call very shortly,
if not the same evening, but il the
stalk goes to the side Of the cup he will
not come.
Examine the tea leaves in your cup
if you are plebeian enough to boil your
tea instead of drawing it in the refined
and dainty fashion, for lot of leaves
mean money and fortune.
If you want to know how many years
will elapse before you may expect to
be married, balance your spoon on the
edge of your cup first noting that it Is
perfectly dry, I'LL another spoon partly
with tea, and holding it above the
balanced spoon. let the drops of tea
gather to the tip of the spoon and
gently fall into the bowl of the one be-
low. Count the drops-each one stands
for year.
It is a sign of fair weather if the
cluster of small air bubbles formed by
the sugar collect and remain in the
center of the cup If they rush to the
sides it will surely rain before night
When toast is made, three or four
thin slices of bread must be cut the
whole length of the loaf. aud placed
one over the other. This done, they
must all be cut in half with one sweep
of the knife. If this is done by q
young woman and the slices are not
severed clean through to the plate she
will not be married within the wear; if
the bread parts in two even heaps, she
might as well order her trousseau On
NO account must she take the last piece
Of toast or bread on the plate, unless
she wishes to be an old maid.-Toledo

BRUTES THAT LOVE TOBACCO.
Bears, Lions, Goats, and Deer Are Fond
Of the SeducfiEe EWeaA

Prof. Paul Neyerheim, the cele-
brated animal painter, contributes to
symposium" in German publica.
tion devoted to the tobacco trade the
following interesting observations on
lovers of the weed:
"What | have observed about
smoking is not very interesting, so
far as my own use of the weed is
concerned. But it may interest you
to learn what my models in the ZOO
logical gardens think about smoking.
There are, to begin with, the
common brown bears. They are
veritable tobacco enthusiasts. Just
blow tobacco smoke toward their
cages and you will see how they rush
toward you, and with every sign of
delight rub the back and the head
against that portion of the grating
through which the smoke passes. 1t
is very amusing spectacle.
cat one time | treated IL sleeping
lion to large. pinch of snuff, which
/ introduced into his nostrils with the
aid of a wooden mode ing knife. His
majesty arose. sneezed with great
vehemence, and then lay down again
to continue his sleep apparently
rather pleased by the interruption.
All kinds of goats deer, lla1nas, and
similar animals are passionately fond
of snuff and cigars. [ once gained
the friendship OF very ugly guanaco
by feeding him frequently with snuff.
Some soldiers who later on teased the
animal and were rewarded, as usual,
by his s?ewlng over them, remarked
in my hearing; Why, the deuce! how
the beast smells Of snuff
Large parlans are also extremely
fond of tobacco smoke. You see, lido
not smoke for my pleasure alone"

A FAMOUS COUNTESS.


Attempt Of One Of Louis NapoIeOn's
Court Ladies 20 Save His Crown.
The once famous Countess de Mercy
Agenteau. whose death was recently
announced. was born at Caraman-
Chimay and Belgium has rarely pro-
duced either so beautiful or so talent
ed woman as Elizabeth. Countess OF
Caraman- -ChimaY. The Imperial
family Of France. in prosperity or ad-
versity. possessed no truer or more
faithful friend. and up TO the last she
was wont to wear a necklace OF three
rows OF the purest pearls given her by
the Emperor.
When Napoleon surrendered at
Sedan, says Galignanis Messenger,
he requested Count de Mercy Argen-
teau to burn the whole of his car
riages. The only relic of his melan-
choly commission preserved at the
chateau of Argenteau on the Meuse
is panel bearing the imperial mono
ram. While detained at v ilhelm-
shohe the captive monarch begged
the cleverest woman of his court to
come to him, and it was into her SYM
pathetic ear that he poured out an
advantageous peace with Prussia
after his army had been restored to
him.
Napoleon concluded by earnestly
begging the Countess to convey let
ter from him to the Prussian Crown
Prince.
Protected by a safe conduct from
Bismarck and leaving her lady's maid
behind her at Strasburg, she set out
without moments delay on her soli-
tary and perilous journey northward.
She was compelled to pass one night
in an ambulance wagon. where she
was carefully looked after by Ger
man nurse who ultimately proved to
be like herself, Princess in disguise,
Having reached Versailles she intro
duced herself to the Crown Prince by
reminding him of the very different
circumstances with which they had
once opened ball at Wiesbaden.
The future Emperor listened cour
teously to her impassioned pleading,
but replied that the best interests of
Germany forbade the granting of the
request and compliance with Napo-
Icons proposal, even if he had been
able to oblige her personally. She
left his quarters almost broken
hearted.

They Conduct Business and Figure in
Society at the Same Time.
The Russian baths of New York
have been patronized during the last
week by a great number of pallid and
wan looking young men who arrive
about $3.50 or O'Clock, take a plunge
and a short rub and then fall into a
heavy sleep. They are walked at 8 .45
in time to get home and dress for
dinner. They are the victims of dis
sipation, but not of drink. Their
names are familiar to readers OF the
society columns of the papers and
they belong to the notable section of
men OF fashion who are known as
dancing men. The pace has been
very hot for them during the month
so far. Society leaders have seized
upon the month OF January for dane
ing and there have been no less than
thirty-two notable balls since New
Years. Many of them masqueraded
nnder the head of small dances"
but they were balls nevertheless.
Ihe strain upon the dancing men was
very heavy, as nearly all of them are
engaged in business downtown.
Even such millionaire entertainers
as August Belmont no longer Junior,
and Richard Mortimer, are found at
their Office in Wall street at 9 o'clock
every morning. Their names figure
at all OF the popular balls. 1t is i'm
possible for them to get homo to
sleep from these entertainments be-
fore o'clock in the morning, but,
like the rest OF the army of the en-
ployed, they rise before 8. The
strain of the season falls very heavily
upon the men. The women sleep till
long after midday so that they are
easily enabled to withstand the effects
of the dancing season.

RUBBING NOSES.
A Style of SalutatiOn Used by Many
Peoples-An Odd Custom,

"a SSy1S OA StAutdtROM GSeO Dy many
Peoples-An Odd Custom.
The junction OF noses is so general
rand described as so forcible in Africa
and Oceanica as TO have given rise to
fanciful theory that it had occa-
stoned the flattening of the noses of
the peoples. But in the accounts OF
many of the tribes OF the dark conti-
nent, and OF the islanders OF New
Zealand, Routama, Tahiti, Tonga,
Hawaii, and other groups. the essen
tial action does not seem to be that Of
rubbing, but OF smelling. 1t is true,
says the Popular Science Monthly,
that the travellers call it rubbing, but
the motion and pressure are some
times not greater than that of the
muzzles OF two dogs making or c.
menting acquaintance. The pres
sure and rub are secondary and en-
phatic. The juncture only means the
compliment: ''You smell very good. I"
,, 1t is instanced in the Navigator group
when the noses OF friends are saluted
with long and hearty rub and the
explanatory words: Good! very
goodi am happy nowr' The CAL
mucks also go through O suggestive
pantomime of greeting, in which they
creep on their knees to each other,
and then DIN noses, as much as pos-
sible like the two dogs before men,
toned. In the Navigator islands
only equals mutually rub their noses.
The inferior rubs his nose on and
smells the superior's hand. The
respectful greeting of Fill is to take
and smell the hand of the superior
without rubbing it. In the Gambia
when the men salute the women they
put the woman's hand up to their
noses and smell twice at the back of
it. In the Friendly islands noses are
joined. adding the ceremony of TAX
ing the hand of the person to whom
civilities are paid, and rubbing it with
u degree of force upon the saluter's
own nose anu mouth. The Mariana
islanders for.uerly smelled at the
hands of those to whom they wished
to tender homage. Capt. Beechy de-
scribes the Sandwich islanders: '.Ihe
lips are drawn inward between the
teeth, the nOsyrils are distended, and
the lungs are widely inflated; the face
is then pushed forward, the noses
brought into contact. and the cere-
monY concludes with hearty rub"
