empty. All are placed III line on
the table. The ties ,ers are blind
folded, turned about three times and
led to the table. A and is then put
out and a prophecy foretold by the
bowl touched. The water prophesies
a happy, peaceful life; the wine, a,
rich, eventful, noble career; the
vinegar, misery and poverty; the
empty bowl is smybol of bachelor
or spinster life. The bowls are, of
course, rearranged after each test.
Sometimes three bowls are filled,
one with sand, another with flour, the
third being empty. The bowls are set
in a row, and the test conducted as
before. If flour be touched, you will
be the first and only sweetheart Of
your future wife or husband; if the
sand, widow or widower will be
your life partner; the empty dish pre-
diets single blessedness.
There is another charm conducted
with three saucers. One is half filled
with salt, which, being white, stands
for silver; another with cornmeal,
signifying gold, while the third re-
mains empty. If you dip your left
hand into the cornmeal, you will be
very wealthy; if into the salt, you
will be comfortable, but lack the
Injuries of life; if into the empty
bowl, you will be obliged to work
hard for living.
There are munger of ring charms.
A ring, thimble and nickel should
be concealed somewhere in the room,
to the one who finds the ring, his or
her marriage is assured; the thimble.
he or she will live a life of single
blessedness; the nickel promises
wealth. Then there is the search for
the ring in -four. The flour contain
ing ring is packed upon a large
platter. The guests each cut off a.
slice with knife, and the one un-
covering the ring must pick it up
with his teeth. Try swinging a we'd
ding ring over a goblet and slowly
repeating the alphabet, the letter
which is said as the ring touches the
glass being the initial OF the future
husbands or sweetheart's name.
These are all old, old tricks. Very
modern, however, is the test of the
college colors. Ribbons symbolizing
the various universities and colleges
are hung up, the girls are blindfoldeo.
and each picks out streamer, and SO
learns which temple of learning her
husband will hail as his alma mater.

says the st. Petersburg correspond
ent of the London Times. Four new
laws which completely deprive the
Firms of that liberty which for nearly
century has been their pride and
safeguard were last Friday promul-
gated at Helsingford. the capital city.
Hoping against hope the Firms were
sanguine enough to believe that the
tyrannical measures would be with
held but such was never the inten-
ton of Gear Nicholas and his advisers.
The first law makes the Finnish
senate, which is the central governing
body of Finland and also the high
court mere tool of the governor gen.
eral. The latter or his adjutant must
attend all meetings and no action
must be taken in the absence of both.
moreover, the governor general has alb
solute veto over all its resolutions.
Another of the new laws en-
powers the governor and his senate to
remove at will any official not directly
appointed by the car.
Still a third law places the law
courts directly under the control of
the governor general, who may remove
the judges whenever he finds such a
course desirable.
The fourth of these laws prohibits
the prosecution of any public official
without the consent of his superiors
! This completely absolves the police
from all liability of being called to &C
count for their actions.

is now complete. The severe mill

THE WET-MY-lIP.

When on the bank the shearers' coats
Lie black, and gray. and brown;
When on the riggs of ripened oats
The morning sun shines down.
Unseen by cen the brightest lads,
The latest bird that flies
Runs up and down the little pads,
And loud and quick she cries
"Wet-my-lip! Wet-my-lip! Wet-my
lip,"
THE devil blister it for you!"
Says Jenny, speaking plain,
you know the shearin's still to do,
An yet you're wantin rain!"
Then, by the ripe oalss overhung,
While golden mists Grise,
She, as if mocking Jemmy's tongue,
Louder and louder cries
"Wet-my-lip! Wet-my-lip. Wet-my-
lip"
The stubbles matching and the mold
Head, back, and wings and tail
All golden and brown and gold,
How beautiful the quail,
And when the shearers meet at morn,
And each his own hook tries,
Sudden from out the ripened corn
A voice. half human, cries
"Wet-my-lip, wet-my-lip, wet-my-

The following are some of the apple
charms, which, if carried out with
believing heart, are sure to come
true. Suspend an apple in the door,
way so that it hangs five feet seven
inches above the floor, and as many
persons as pass under it without
touching it, so many months will
elapse before you marry. An apple
pared in one long, narrow ribbon,
swung three times around your head
and thrown over your lett shoulder
will fall into the shape of the initial
of the name of your future husband
or wife. Close the eyes, press an
apple seed on the lid of each, first
naming the seeds, wink spasmodically
for second and the one which sticks
on will stick through life. The veal
or woe test is made by trying to toss
an apple through horseshoe which
is suspended in doorway at a con-
venient height Each fortune seeker
tries to throw an apple through the
horseshoe; if successful, happiness
is his or hers.

the looking glass on the face of your
future husband, which will be reflect

OF the nights in the year, there is
none which popular Imagination has
surrounded with more peculiar
character than the evening of the 31st
of October, known as All Hallow's
Eve, or Halloween. On this night
fiuences are supposed to prevail. If
you will look closely enough into
folk lore and fairy lore, you will
discover that the princess and prin-
cesses who had been changed into
beasts or birds were allowed, for ONE
brief period on Halloween, to assume
their normal form, during which, if

Rev. Irl R. Hicks 1908 Almanac.

To say that this splendid work of
science and art is finer and better than
even, is stating it mildly. The demand
for it is far beyond all previous years.
To say that such results, reaching
through THIRTY YEARS, are not based
upon sound sense aDd usefulness, is an
insult to the intelligence of the millions.
Prof. Hicks, through this great Alma
nae, and his famous family and scien-
tifc journal, WORD AND WORKS, is do
ing a work for the whole people not ap-
preached by any other mar or publica-
ton. A fair test will prove this to any
reasonable person. Added to the most
luminous course in astronomy for 1903,
forecasts of storms and weather are
given, as never before, for every day
in the year, all charmingly illustrated
with nearly two hundred engrayings.
The price of single Almanac, including
postage and mailing, is THIRTY CENTS.
