number with the number on the stick
Which he has drawn is detached from
the board. When translated, lucky
ticket will read something like this:
Though dark clouds now roll over your
head, the fates will ultimately smile
upon You. All your undertakings will
prosper and your path through life will
be strewn with the flowers of peace. :"
A Tribune reporter drew one which
was interpreted as meaning: "Riches

bearers throughout your career, and in
the smile Of Buddha shall you bask.
Your heart shall glow with happiness
even as the steady glow Of the joss

1t is not absolutely necessary that the
Chinaman wishing to have his fortune
told should be present Many customers
remit the fee, and the fortune teller
draws for them and mails the little red
ticket which contains the result. The
results are not always favorable and the
most CHASTITY predictions are contained
on some of the slips, which greatly re-
semble laundry tickets.
The higher grade of soothsayers pre-
dict fortunes by means of casting
horoscope, which is something like that
employed by astrologers. Another meth
cd is by means of an ordinary magnetic
compass, which is set in round disk of
wood. Around the compass little squares
are marked out on the wood containing
numbers. After giving the date of your
birth the numbers are shifted around to
correspond with your age and by some
"occult' reasoning on the part of the
soothsayer the direction of the needle in
dicates what fortunes you may expect.
The fees are not arbitrary and vary &C
cording to the means Of the customer.
They begin at 1 cent for the fiat and
round sticks and run up to 81 for the

EGG MATCHING IN EGYPT.
A Method of Incubation Which Is as Old
as the Christian Era.

Among the fellahs of modern Egypt a
process of incubation is in use which
has been handed down from antiquity,
perhaps from the time of Diodorus, who,
40 years before the Christian era, said
that the Egyptians brought eggs to ma
turity with their own hands and that
the chickens Matched thus were not in
ferior to those Matched in the usual way.
The process is described in Nature.
Ovens are built, consisting of cham
Der about feet square and 4 feet high,
chamber, 9 feet high, it built, with
vaulted roof, having small opening in
the middle to admit light, Below
larger opening communicates with the
room underneath. In cold weather both
rooms are kept closed and lamp is left
burning in each entrance then being
through the lower chamber.
When the oven is ready, the proprie-
tor goes to the neighboring villages and
collects eggs. They are placed on mats,
streWn with bran, in the lower chamber
Fires are then lighted in troughs along
the sides Of the upper room, the eggs be-
ing in two lines Immediately below.
The fires are lighted twice day, the
first dying out at noon and the other
burning from to in the evening. The
first batch of eggs is left for half a day
in the warmest place and then it makes
way for the next, until all have been
warmed. This process is kept up for six
days, when the eggs are examined care
fully in a strong light. Those that are
clear are cast aside. Those that are
cloudy are put back in the oven for an
other four days. They are then removed
for five days to another chamber, where
there are no fires, but the air is excluded
After this they are placed an inch or two
apart and continually turned, this last
stage taking six or seven days.
The eggs are examined constantly by
being held against the upper eyelid to
reveal if they are warmer than the hu-
man skin. The whole process lasts 81
days, but the thin shelled eggs often
hatch in 18. The heat required is sc +.
Excessive heat ID undesirable.

BAD OMEN FOR Wilde
Arthur Taylor, His Alleged
Aeeompliee, Convicted
His Turn Tomorrow.
By Cable to the United Press.

s. LONDON, May 81, 1S95.-The trial "
Alfred Taylor was resumed in the Old
Bailey Court this morning. Taylor was
called to the stand and repeated the
statements he made in the witness po1
at his previous trial. In reply to ques-
tions in regard to the visitors at his
rooms Taylor asked to be allowed to
write their names. The Judge said -
"If the names are written / will read
them aloud. I do not approve of mys-
terry"
Taylor did not write the names. but
mentioned a few which have already
been connected with the case. There
were no notable names among them.
He denied that he had gone through a
marriage ceremony with a man named
Mason After the libel trial of Wilde
against Lord Queensberry the latter's
solicitor, he said, had asked him to make
a statement against Wilde, but this he
had refused to do He admitted that ne
had written a letter to the man Mason,
signing himself with love-
The evidence was concluded with ray
lor,s testimony and counsel began their
addresses to the jury.
The Judge, in summing up the evil
dence, directed the jury to acquit ray
lor as regarded his completely with the
young man Wood, leaving them to- de-
eide upon the three charges in which
Taylor is alleged to be directly guilty.
The jury retired at 1925 P. M.
The Marquis of Queensberry occupied
a seat in court in the afternoon.
When the jury returned to the court
room and had been polled, the foreman
stated that they could not agree that
the prisoner had procured Charles Parker
for wilde nor that Wilde had committed
acts of indecency with Parker. They,
however, found Taylor guilty on two
counts in regard to Charles and VIM.

Taylor's sentence was delayed until
a verdict should be reached in the trial

EMBARRASSING POSITION. -
Treasury officials Worried over tine
Income Tax Decision.


WASHINGTON, May 81, 1S95.-Many in
teresting questions will arise out of the
notification of the income tax law, one
of these is the custody of the returns.
Commissioner Miller will have all these
returns sent to the Treasury, and he in
sists that they can be kept inviolate.
When it was suggested to him that some
unprincpled deputy might sell the returns
to a newspaper for high price, he SAID
that such an act could be punished
with dismissal, but as the deputy Will
be out of office anyway this does not
seem to be a very severe punishment
But Assistant Secretary Hamilton mas
found two statutes which impose a very
heavy penalty for dispensing of any pub
lie record of the Government, and ne
saws that under this law any deputy
can be very vigorously dealt with.
He says that the returns are without
doubt public records and thus'come WITH
in the statutes. 1t is a fact, however,
that the action of the Court in wiping out
all the income tax section. even f1oGSe Ihose
the returns, has given the Treasury ON
cial considerable anxiety. They are sure,
they say that no ret. returns VIII o be fhoae maae
who have made returns will have to De

upon the finances OF the government NsS
fully outlined in my dispatches last week,
when the decision was anticipated. 1t

position, but the officials hope, that they
will be able to get along until Congress
