READING THE FUTURE.
How e-Tellers Work The Ir
Craft and Peer Into the Hidden
Mysteries of Life.

ever since Saul proved the incon-
sistency of man by rushing off to con-
suit the Witch of Endor after taking
severe measures to exterminate witch
craft, there has been a universal cray
ing to pierce the veil that hides from
us the good and evil of the future"
says a writer in the Ladies' Field
''The craving for the knowledge of
what the future holds is turned to ac-
count by thousands of persons in
every generation, who claim super
natural powers of vision and prophecy
Astrology is perhaps the most i'm
pressive form of so-called 'divination'
possibly there is something inspir-
ing in the thought of ones destiny be-
ing guided by star. But there is moth
ing sublime about a greasy pack of
cards in the stuffy parlor of a house
in a dingy street, which is the environ
ment of the modern sybil. Yet every
day her rooms are crowded with silly
women, whose carriages wait round
the corner while they themselves sit
shivering in rows for their turn to
have their destinies revealed to them
They don't really believe in it, of course
they will tell you laughingly-'but
it is such fun, and she does really tell
you the most extraordinary things
which, of course, she does when YOU
have given her the clew. After having
told your character and thoroughly
taken in your characteristics at the
same time, the fortune teller invari-
ably tells you to ask any question you
like This request, if acceded to, nat
urally shows her basis to work upon.
She will occasionally go wrong, but if
you correct her she will speedily get
back on the right tack, and with lit
tie assistance, which, the credulous
generally give her, she succeeds in
telling you exactly what you expected,
and you go away feeling that she is
indeed a marvellous person"

WARDROBES OF ROYALTY.
Ladies' of Nobility Who Have Cos.
tunes Enough to Change Sew
eral Tim Each Day.

The empress OF Germany and the
czarina of Russia are the most FORUM
ate women in Europe, if good fortune
means the ability to wear fine raiments
and to change their costumes as often
as it may please their fancy. 1t is said
that to keep the wardrobe of the Ger
man empress properly replenished re-
quires the constant service of dozen
dressma kers, and that on occasions of
court festivities or when her majesty
prepares for an important journey
this regular staff is increased to 40.
We are informed that this wonderful
wardrobe consists of 100 evening and
state dresses, al least two visiting and
carriage costumes and more than 80
house and demitoilets annually. All
these are made by hand down to the
minutest particulars.
The empress of Russia is said to be
the most extrayagant dresser in Eu-
rope, although naturally simple in her
tastes. Her adherence to plain dress
provoked so much grumbling among
the ladies of the court during the first
few years of her marriage that she went
to an extreme of magnifcence which
one finds it difficult to associate with
the daughter of the mild Princess
Alice of Hesse.
