Louise Willis Sncad, in st. Nichoins.
There are three fortunes 10 bc told with
an apple. Peel the fruit without breaking
the skin. and. holding the long spiral
daintily by the end, swing it three times
around the head, and let it fall to the
ground whatever letter the skin then
forms. is the initial of the sweetheart
or friend who loves you best. Then, be
fore eating your apple have some one
name it," as they say, and after You
have saved all the seeds. begin to count
them. thus:
one love; two ! love: three love say;
-Four | love with all my heart
And five, ! cast away.
Six, she loves; seven, he loves; eight, both
love-
Nine. he comes: ten. he tarries.
Eleven, he courts. and twelve he mar
rics.
A moro amusing fortune is that of
placing fresh apple seed on each eye
lid. aud naming each The one which
remains there longest is the truest and
best. A famous custom consists of ponr-
ing n very little molten lead into tub
of cold water; there follows n splaShing
and Kissing as the lead cools suddenly,
md the shape uf the lead reveals the
future. Just as in all oracles, ever since
the days of Delphi, and Diana of the
Ephesians. the scientific wp'k lies in
reading the doubtful forecasts Alright.

And the little Toy soldier IS red win rust

And the soldier was passing fair,
And that was the time when our Little

And don't you make any noise"
So. toldling off to his Jrundle bed
He dreamt of the pretty toys.

Oh, the years are many, the years are

But the little toy friends are true.

what has become OF our Little Boy Blue,
