FARM life may often seem dull and
tiresome in the busiest seasons, but
it is far less SO than it used to be.
Books, newspapers and magazines
come as easily to the country farm
house as they do to the city home.
There is, too, on the average, as
much reading at least by farmers as
there is by city business men. What
IS read is generally more carefully
pondered. The farmer is work with
nature all the time. Insensibly
he gets into the habit of noting the
hints nature gives. This makes the
farmer more philosophical in his
habits of thought than are the aver
age of men engaged in occupations
that quicken and sharpen intellect by
contact with men. but do not broaden
mind, as communion with nature Is
sure to do.

No cobbIers Nowadays.

There is no sense in calling shoe
maker of modern times n cobbler.
The nearest thing to a cobbler to-day
is the custom-made man who confines
his attention exclusively to that one
branch. Machinery for making shoes
in great quantities and in sections is
of comparative recent date, and prior
to its adoption the shoemaker or cob
bier did the entire business, from talk
ing the measure to collecting the
money. In small towns and villages
he literally performed the entire
process himself, having insufficient
trade TO justify the employment of an
assistant and in larger cities he SUI
perintended the work from beginning
to end himself The labor-saving
v onders of the times have practically
swept this man out OF the field, and
there are few members of the trade
who are really cobblers

one or two of the players will hold

Richmond claims, Is not chance or

by law and the players whe are APP
parently having bad luck are simply
subjects of the law and their ruling
card is not in the ascendancv at this
time. The same person at the same

THE French courts have sentenced
poor old De Lesseps to five years. inn
prisonment and to pay fine of 5000
francs. True, the Panama scandal
was nasty one and the operations
of the swindlers connected with it
were most damnable. But still justice
might have been satisfied with the
conviction and sentence of the other
ma ioiactors and spared this octo-
glnarian now shorn OF the high hon
ors the French people once delighted
to heap upon him. The sympathy of
the world goes out to poor old De
Lesseps. He was at the worst but a
cat's-paw, a weak old man, helpless
in the grasp of crowd of unscrupu-
lous sharpers.

The temple is an oblong room OF
large dimensions, fitted up very much
like a Masonic lodge. On entering the
mystic temple the visitor beholds a
miniature representation of the solar
system, which is in a more comprehen-
sible and tangible shape than he has
ever before seen. Suspended from the
ceiling of the hall from end to end are
heavenly bodies, tilted at various an
giles to the plane of the elliptic thus
illustrating their polarities. while at
the same time various satellites revolve
around the primaries.
Mr.. Richmond has over 200 ''mys-
teries" which can be exhibited as proof
of occult knowledge. Among many
other things he can delineate a per-
sons horoscope and tell him things
that he has forgotten, or is yet to
know, the day he was born, giving
year, month and hour from his astral
number, which is contained in books
which he has made through eighteen
years of labor.
Every person born in the world"
continued Mr.. Richmond, ''has a
planet which especially rules over him,
and which during his span on earth,
with other bodies of the solar system,
plays an important part in shaping his
life. Each person, male or female.
has an individual number drawn from
the value of this overruling star in
these scientific calculations, and this
number is the basis for many of the
mathematical wonders. Many of these
mysteries can be mastered and eluci-
dated by nov;ces. These facts are not
the work of spirits, psychology or
hocus pocus, but simple magic, based
on the laws of astronomy as under
stood at the present time, aided by the
ancient methods"
Among other signs and symbols
with which the temple is decorated
were noticed the different figures to
be found on ordinary playing cards,
more or less familiar to all. In the de-
lightful game of whist it frequently
happens that one particular suit

Gxn,ie. and witches.

The gypsies believe that witches use
eggshells to make plates, pots and
dishes to feed out of at their banquets.
Witches, to preserve their health,
must, with every increase of the moon,
suck the blood of such men as were
born at the increase of the moon.
Those people who suffer from witch
fall into kind of a lycanthropy.
They are characterized by pale,
sunken countenance, hollow, mourn
full eyes, swollen lips and fabby, list
less arms. At night they often change
themselves into wolves and do great
harm. Transformed into dogs, they
must accompany the witches on their
nightly forays. The tent gypsies cut
the tail off a dog that comes into their
possession so that he may not turn
back into man, in case he has been
one, and had been changed by witch
into wolf.
