One evening years ago, Alexandra Dumas,

psychologists to dinner. Each was mem

After dessert he had them pass, one by
one into a little room, where sat young
woman palmist. One by one she read the
hands of the men of science; and the PROOF
that they were perplexed and Interested Is
that two days later Dumas published an
enthusiastic account of the seance, giving
names and details.
Nine de Thebes was launched. Since then
she has gone far. Now she is an OLD Wo-
man, at the end of her career; but she has
read the hands of kings. princes, diplomats,
generals, ministers, party leaders, great Ia

turers,, engineers, actresses and Jockeys
She foretold to Bruntiere his election to the

the death of King Humbert. She foresaw

1t is the same with diplomats, engineers,
biologists and manufacturers-the import
ant thing is to see enough of them to get
general indication. Nor does her science
stop here. She is an astrologist, and it can
not be doubted that the epoch now begin

gers. Are not the planets due in rare con-
functions. reproducing those which reigned
over the massacre of st. Bartholomew, the
terror of the French revolution and the up
setting of royalty in 1913?
All over Europe the astrologers are sit
ting up late. Dates big with fate, foretold
by the medieval Nostradamus. are due
shortly. Therefore Nine. de Thebes, sub
jected to these influences, begins with pre-
dictions for the current year, from April.
1903, to April, 1904 and then-but first for
the general indications of the classical as
trology. 1t may be well to cut these out for
future guidance.
April, 1903. The Bull-Children born in
April 1903, will be predisposed to physical
strength and valor which will conduct
them to fortune by way of labor A fine
month for politicians Bad month for
financiers and spectators. Military and
naval officers proposing marriage will have
better chances than any other month of
the year. The favorable days are the I'd,
9th, Sth, 18th, 21st and 9th days of the
moon dating from March 29). Particularly
favorable, the 21st day of the moon-April
10. Unfavorable days, the 18th, 22d 25th
and Goth days of the moon.
May, 1903 The Twins.-Their influence is
to extend particularly from April % to May
q. Births will be easy and babies will
prosper. Growing up, they will be moder-
ate and average in all things. Lucky month
for farmers, not only in cultivation, but In
all projects and investments To CONNER
cia1 people only the evenings and nights
will be favorable. The planet Mars will be
visible. If its red tint is strong look out
for war. Favorable days remain the same
for all the months-the I'd, 9Th, sth, 18th,
favorable days-the 18th, ODD, 25th and Goth
days of the moon. The dates on which they
fall may be ascertained by consulting any
almanac; For example. the I'd day of the
| moon falls on April 2S
| June. 1908. The Crab.-Bad for births;
male children risk growing up stunted in
| body and mind; females will lack energy
| and enterprise. The influence Of the June
| moon is strong on all nature. Bad month
| for any kind of business speculation.
Good month for travel and changes.
An Unlucky Period.
This whole period will be particularly I'M
| lucky for the north of France and Europe
| There will be political troubles and finan-
| cial catastrophes, the worst that have been
known for a long time Death is to be ex-
| pected among high French politicians and
| dramatic authors and artists. Throughout
| it will be a bad year for the arts. In Amer
| lea there will be artistic disasters
Between April and June there are many
| indications of great fires, especially in
| theaters: but only for travelling companies
| 1t will be an excellent period for scientific
! discoveries. great scientific event. of
a nature to modify the conditions of human
| existence, will occur in 1903, and is likely to
| be announced. or. at least. hit upon, be-
| tween March q and June 81.
| Also there are in the hands OF both
| French and foreign scientists, observed by
Madame de Thebes in 1901 and 1902 curious
| condolences indicating great success in
| industrial research. For European agricul-
| ture the indications are bad. So also for
| the military contingent. In the center and
| north of France the peace will be troubled
| All the peasants hands she has seen have
| been alarming.
July. The Lion.-Happy months for
| births. Both male and female children will
| have strength, enterprise and generosity
| But as Saturn is to be specially dominant
| let US hope that he will be clement and
| spare the earth terrible drought Good
for bull spectators; good month for all
| having to do with iron Gas the principal
| feature of their business); good month for
| railway people--on condition always that
| Saturn does not prove vicious
August. The Virgin.-This is not one of
| the best signs, in spite of it's gentle name
| 1t predisposes to trials and hesitations gen
| orally. Children born in August 1908
while likely to be amiable and good. will
| not be particularly well equipped for the
| struggle of life. Bad month for borrowers
| and bad month for sons-in-law. Spccula-
tors must neither increase their holdings
| nor seek to unload. Happy month for mar
riageabe girls, though not necessarily
lucky. Farmers will do well to watch the
health of their wives and their cattle in this
month.
September. The Scales.-The lucky sign
| for births with the ancents, those born
under it being frank. generous, devoted,
unsparing of time and effort for others
Perhaps not so lucky in the modern rush.
| Splendid month for European agriculture.
not so good for American. Great month for
| politicians. and if military or naval officers
have anything TO ask of them, this is the
| month. For spectators numerous slumps
are promised.
