Yet all near work requires the contrac-

is eye-strain.

To Tell Fortunes by Grounds.

To tell fortunes 10y tea grounds is a
trick and requires Il vivid imagination
and quick reader of nature. 1t is folly
to attempt to tell things that everyone
in the room knows. Trust to the cup
for the inspiration and as the fortune
proceeds gather as much information
as possible. Certain it is that the host
ess that searches in the cup for pictures
and suggestions will find them. \ few
old symbols are all that are needed to
make the fortune telling Il success
First there must be grounds in the
cup. The cup must be inverted over the
owners saucer. 1t must never be turned
down in the saucer because that shuts
the evil under it. It must be turned
quite around three times, either above
the saucer or about the head. as the
hostess dictates. While the cup is be
ing turned the three times the owner
must wish keeping the wish well in
mind until the telling of the fortune
begins. If. when the cup passes into the
fortune tellers hands. there are drops
clngng to the inverted cup ii is sure
sign of tears to come.
To read the grounds begin at the up
per edge of the cup and read to the
bottom and begin at the middle and read
toward you and to the left. What is to
be seen near the handle and next the
edge is coming first. A succession of
long lines. in the form of a path. signify
a Journey. If broken and continued, a
journey over a body of water. Short
paths signify visits away from home. If
leading to the edge of the cup, visitor
to come. Square or oblong formations,
solid, indicate letters Larger forma-
tons of the same mean packages
\ circle means an enga gement. n mar
riage or proposal, this to be determined
by the fortune teler's knowledge of the
owner of the cup. In the cup of mar
rled woman ring means a business
proposition. 4 bird promises news, if the
bird is light and apparently sprightly the
news is good; a detected, black bird
means bad news.
Cat means difficulties at nome, and
the formations about the animal often
load to an Interpretation of the difficulty.
Three dots in a row signify the fulfil
ment Of the wish, near the edge Of the
cup soan toward the bottom, later. y
heart. signifies Il SECRET lover. y broken
heart, broken engagement or divorce.
Many small dots in a group signify
money, if near a letter a check or order.
II the cuD<contains Il timber formation,
it may signify the building of a house.
y long hard stick. if upright, promises
visitor; if down, 4 sick friend. The
complexion is told by the ightneSS or
darkness of the tea stick
The cup should be turned three times.
if there is time. once in case there are
many guests.
Peculiar pictures will appear, such as
stoves affairs, horses, etc. These in
connection with the symbols given will
make a story of the fortune. Figures
VIII frequently be turned and these are
always convenient in timing the arrival
or departure Of friends and visitors. let

ALASKA'S BIG BEARS.
The Largest Flesh Eating Animals in the
World


Very few persons really know that the
largest flesh eatHg-4nmals IN the world
are found in America. People generally
hejiev" that the African lion is the King
Of hcusts but he iS not nearly ms large
or as powerful an animal as the large
brown bear Of antarctic America
The bears are not as ioruclous or CONF
bative as the lions, nor are they nearly
as vicious aS they are given credit for
being, but the largest of them are much
largor aud more powerful than any Of
the lions. If is safe to sag that the lurg
est Of the brown bears Of the north
would weigh three times as much as the
largest specimen Of Lion and is beyond
all question greatly superior IN strength.
If brought together in combat the bear
would at first appear very clumsy. says
