The Dupes of sOOthsayers shown b,
 Three Arrests.

London Special to N. Y. Herald.
 Society women have been greatly in- terested in the hearing of the charges against the heads of two West End fortune telling establishments. whose dupes they have been, which was con- eluded this week.
 Such thriving business have 'Keiro" and Madame Keiro" and "Yoga" been doing among well known women that the matter was brought to the notice of the police who arrested the "seers" and charged them with "witchcraft and obtaining money under false pre- tences," for which offences they now stand committed for trial.
 A great deal of the evidence given against the prisoners at the police court was of very amusing character. Mrs. Betts, a young detective. described her visits to "Yoga" and the Keiros Yoga told her she would live to be 65. Keiro gave her ten years longer. but then she had paid the latter a higher fee. Mrs. Betts also learned that her husband was to make lot of money on the Stock Exchange and that he was very fond of their child when he said or did anything clever. Witness explained to the court that she had no child.
 Her father was described by Yoga as being a man with side whiskers, who was very active and clever. but who would not live many more years. The witness father had already been dead five years when she was t6ld this.

His text was Colosslans' S' 1e, Husbands, love your wives' ana De not bitter against them.' He said ln part:
 '.The model husband Is one wno thinks more of his wife than he does of himself or any one in the world.
 ''The successful business man Keeps close watch on contracts to see that they are fulfilled. Husbands, how long is 1t since you have looked at your marriage contract!
 Many a man, without appreciation of the beautiful flower he has taken unto himself becomes careless and neg lIgent A model husband Is man Of good memory. He remembers the in- troduction that set his heart fiuttering He remembers the walks together be- fore marriage Therefore he does not get half a square ahead and then bawl out: Susan Jane, for Heavens sake why don't you hurry up"
 My model husband doesn't wait un- til his wife dies to give flowers. A single rose perfumed with love in life is worth more than a dozen wreaths on the casket lid.
 'sWhen you go home. put your arms around your wife and tell her how sweet and beautiful she is. It may be stretching the truth, but God will for give you and your wife will be happy
 'Remember how blind you were to her faults before marriage. If you have discovered them since. keep your eyes tightly closed.
 "A model husband always remembers he is the husband of one wife. When you think less of your wife and more of another the breakers of hell are be. fore you"

 How to Grow beautiful Flowers in the

 "Crocuses in January" Why not! asks Country Life in America. Noth- ing is easier nor more enjoyable. A few inexpensive window boxes, few dollars invested in bulbs. and spring indoors may be had for the asking.
 Window boxes have proved. in my experience, much more desirable in many respects for bulbs than the flow CT pots which are commonly in use. A window box containing a huiAlred bulbs, more or less, according to the size of the bulbs, requires no more care than a single flower pot-less, in fact, because the larger quantity of soil retains moisture for a much long CT time: then. too, there Is a sense of permanence in a box that gives 1t something of the dignity and stability of a garden bed.
 A mass of flowers of the same vari- ety is always more effective and satis- flying than a small number of differ ent kinds grown together.
 THE APPLE, WORTHY OF A PLACE
 IN THE SONGS OF SOLOMON.
 If Solomon could say so much in praise of the wild spices of European ITOH WHlCH our dpplc mated, how eloquentlS he might have spoken in praise of the excellencies of our twentieth century fruit.
 Exclusive of core and skin there is generally speaking. less waste matter in the apple than in vegetables and. in fact, most other foods. The acids and mineral matter of the apple make it a very valuable addition to the diet.
 Baked apples are useful for dyspep- tic persons because by baking they ac- quire laxative properties. Because of the slightly laxative properties, apple sauce is eaten with pork, goose, etc. as 1t tends to counteract the effects of the rich and stimulating meats.
 A little old cheese is recommended to be eaten when raw apples have beer partaken of freely because the am monia of the cheese has a remarkable effect in neutralizing the acid of the apples.
 Baked Apple With Prunes. Take as many tart cooking apples a: l are needed, wipe them with damp clotf | and remove the cores, leaving quite { hollow in each apple, in which place z teaspoonful of sugar. a dash of nut meg or cinnamon and as many steweC prunes or large steamed raisins as th' apples will hold.

 The two-step Is doomed. This is the pronunciamento of the American Socie- ty of Professors of Dancing of New York, which has just closed It's con- vention in St. Louis. J. Edward Mar tine, who in five years will celebrate the semi-centennial of his experience as a teacher of dancing In Chicago, re- turned yesterday from the World's s Fair city, and he declared that the abolition of the two-step received his heartiest support
 The public has run wild" said MT. Maritime. lover that ungraceful bolster ous dance, and our convention has un- qualifiedly condemned it. That is, we have condemned 1t as 1t Is danced, for few people in Chicago dance the two- step"
 What do they dancer" be was asked, They do not dance at all When
 man and a woman get out on the | floor and do a collection of bewilder- ing. ungraceful figures, tire themselves out and make thepselves generally | ridiculous, I do not call 1t dancing. "One reason why the two-step is not danced correctly is because the popular music Is not the proper music. The correct time for the two-step Is what | Is known as '6-8' time, and there is q | syncopation about the dance that de-
 mands such time and no other-if the | two-step Is to be danced properly. Now most of the music of today Is | in ragtime or some other form of | terpsichorean inspiration, which in the | first place is not music Anyone who
 understands music will tell you that there Is as much difference between syncopation and ragtime as there is be- | tween music and ragtime. | We cannot refuse to teach the two step. but we can show preference for | other movements. And then we also
 can cultivate in our pupils a taste for | the other dances by introducing more popular forms into those movements To this end our society has expressed itself as devoted to the waltz. To in- crease the popularity of the waltz Vari-
 ous new dances. in which the waltz | or other graceful movement predomi-

 these were adopted by the society,"" l Among the new dances named by MT
