the Trade
A trial. will come on ina day or two
at the Assize court, which, though OF
triaing Importance in itself. will at
tract attention on account Of the per
sonality Of the prosecutrix and the
profession exercised by the prisoner,
says aSPariss correspondent. Of PalliMall
Gazette. The widow OF perhaps h
most famous Of contemporary French
surgeons, Of that mastery operator, DR..
Pean, has been compelled to take pro-
ceedings against a fortune teller, whom
she accuses Of having sent her a num-
Der Of libelous postcards. Few people
would suspect what an extraordinary
number Of fortune tellers drive a thriv-
ing trade in Paris. One Of the princi-
pal fu%nctionaries at the prefecture OF
police informed me recently that his
department had the names and ad-
dresses Of over 1000 persons who mako
their living, and in many cases an ex-
oellent living, by the most elementary
and common Of all the forms Of the
pseudo-science Of divination, by telling
fortunes from cards. There are other
varieties Of fortune .telIers galore;
those who predict the future from a
handful Of pins thrown at hazard on a
sort Of chess board, or from the shapes
assumed BY the dregs Of coffee In the
bottom of g saucer, those who resort to
mesmerism and somnambulism, the
chirographists, the drawers Of horo-
scopes and many others The earto-
mancists, however, are in the majority
The methods Of all Of them are fdenti-
cal, but their prices vary greatly. Their
stock in trade, apart from some little
imagination, considerable cunning and
unlimited impudence, consists solely OF
the tarot, a specially prepared pack OF
cards, as a rule clumsily hand painted
and pasted on to squares Of cardboard
The cost of consulting the tarot ranges
from a few shillings to f5 and even e..
The fortune teller who al command
these latter prices deals with society
ladies, but the most assiduous clients
of all are actresses, who. with scarcely
an exception, believe in the talents OF
the -cartomancists, and many OF whom
go week after week to the same wise
woman and swallow, with incompre-
hensible docility and contradictory
revelations elaborated for their benefit.
The cheaper fortune tellers r seldom
on never consulted by men, but Curl
ously enough the cartomancists, whose
charges are high, often have men
among their customers. There is one
well-known Spectator on the Paris
bourse who never ventures his money
unless the tarot has assured him Of
the likelihood of his being successful,
and 1t must be admitted that his conf
dence in the cards has, 80 far, not be-
trayed him, for he is exceedingly rich.

to our camp of the presence Of q pair
Of wildcats in q nearby cave, and I

shining eyeballs glazing at me from

vanced toward me rapidly, and with a
squall and a. whirr two magnificent
wildcats passed by me, one on either
hand, and a second later the baying
of my dogs announced their arrival in
the open. I was not only surprised,
but very much puzzled as well, for

COULDN'T KEEP TT Keep it Hid from the Children.

"We cannot keep Grape-Nuts food in hide it, because the children love it so. It is just the food I have been looking for ever so long; something that I do not have to stop to prepare and still is nourishing. Wishing you all the sue cess you deserve" Mary Y Margeson, 80 Lincoln St., Winthrop, Mass.
 Grape Nuts is the most scientifically made food on the market It is per- fectly, and completely cooked at the factory and can be served at an in- stant's notice, either with rich cold cream. or with hot milk If hot dish is desired. When milk or water are used, a little sugar should be added, but when cold cream is used alone the natural grape sugar, which can be seen glistening on the granules, is sufficient ly sweet to satisfy the palate This grape sugar is not poured over the granules, as some people think but ex- udes from the granules in the process of manufacture, when the starch of the grains is changed from starch to grape sugar by the process of manufacture This, in effect, is the first act of d- gestion; therefore, Grape Nuts Food is pre-digested and is most perfectly as simulated by the very weakest stom ach.

JOHN o. ROWLAND APPOINTED.
Fair Haven Man Superintendent of the
 \ L.. I-...a

| Fair Haven Man Superintendent of the Masonic Home. I' Wallingford, May 1.-John o. Row | land of Fair Haven has been appointed superintendent of the Masonic home here, to succeed the late Clark Buck | ingham, former superintendent of the home. Mr. Rowland is grand master Of the Grand lodge, F. and A. M. Mrs. Clark Buckingham has been re- appointed as matron, and Mrs. Row land assistant matron of the home, All appointments to take effect June l, 1900.
 MT. Rowland has for a number of years been connected with H. c. Rowe & Co.'S establishment in Fair Haven and is prominent in Masonic affairs. He is very genial and popular man of excellent business ability, thorough ly competent and reliable man and the management of the home are receiving congratulations on having obtained so good man in all respects for the place.
 Yesterdays Meriden Journal says of the appointment of MT Rowland: The new superintendent for many years has had the supervision of the H. c. Rowe & Co. oyster plant in Fair Haven and is now experimenting the construction of another oyster plant for the same firm in Providence R. l. When the late Superintendent Buckingham was grand master he appointed Mr. Rowland as one of his deputies.
 There Is a coincidence in the appoint ment of Grand Master Rowland as su- perintendent and that of the late super intendent, Clark Buckingham When Clark Buckingham was appointed su- perintndent he was also president of the Actual Past Masters association of New Haven county. Grand Master Rowland at the present time holds the berth.
 There were in all fourteen appica- tions for the position. as follows:
 Rev. J. Anketell, New York.
 w. R. Wetherell Attleboro, Mass.
 E. B. Pinney, Andover.
 H. A. Welton, Thomaston.
 H. H. Atwood, Waterbury.
 F. M Cox, New Haven.
 .Claudius Harvey, New Haven.
 E. A. Watrous, Meriden.
 A. J. Even, Derby
 w. s. Rowe, Fair Haven.
 John J. Dayton, Fair Haven.
 Henry A. Loveland, Fair Haven.
 John O. Rowland, Fair Haven.
 The appointment of Grand Master Rowland will undoubtedly be great surprise to the Masonic fraternity in general throughout the state, and while it will be a surprise the appointment is considered most excellent one and will give widespread satisfaction in Ma sonic circles. It was a wise and judi cious selection.
