things, and among these he wishes to

So he began at Christmas time by
sending a present to the youngster of

might roll about and kick up his heels
in.
To this was added a set of silver

TO MAKE CONVERSATION.

4 little suggestion about place-cards
for a luncheon or dinner; instead Of
having the names Of the guests upon
them, cards may be prepared by cut
ting pictures and letters from maya
zines and newspapers and FASTING them
neatly and carefully to make some
illustrated device, sentence or verse
characteristic o. the guest and the
occasion The guests walk round the
table seeking their places, and the va
riOus cards are apt to put the company
at once at ease and to be the source
of a free and general flow Of CONVEX
sation, a thing so really hard to be
sure Of. If the company is one of In
Inmates, familiar with each others
affairs, a very delightful and mirth-
provoking addition to the dessert may
be made by having a surprise 'skele-
ton story" It's subject matter should
deal with the dOings of the various
members of the company, The story
is written complete that no adjeCtves
are used in the narrative, but as many
places as possible are left blank for
them. The company is then calico
upon to name adjectives in turn and
the blank spaces are filed in. The
completed tale is then read aloud, and

FORTuNE-TELLING.

Few people are aware Of the hold
which sOothsaying, or telling,
has upon our people We do not allude
to the poor ignorant and superstitious
devotees of this oldest of all cults, but
to the well-to-do and even the so-called
cultured, the rich and the religious.
In every American city there are hun
dreds of people feeding their dupes
with sorry tales, and to our knowledge
many stockholders, business men and
so-called educated men and women
habtually consult them about invest
ments and personal affairs. Perhaps.
in reference to health of self or others,
to length of life, etc, the fortune-tell-
crs make the most Of their money.
The phenomenon has been explained
as due to the decline of a genuine
religious faith, to the growth of ma
terialism in it's social and philosOphic
aspects, but such explanations do not
entirely satisfy. So far as it pertains
to pathology and physiology it seems
to be part of the great wave of bar
barrie atayism. due to a large extent to
the immense gulf dividing medical
science in its most progressive phases
from popular comprehension.
The more we advance scientifically
the farther behind we leave the people,
so that we find college graduates and
cultivated people addicted to the social
vices of such medical superstitions as
faifh-rure and uOStrum- mOnppring

and medicine is an important duty

Of the medical officers, are longing for
