quired and the richer ingredients over
load the digestion and invite disease.
so that If Mrs. Fay used a poor quail
lty of milk, on which a child would
starve, that may have prolonged her
life.
Prof Metchnikoffs theory that skim
med milk, sour milk, curdled milk but
termilk and the like are favorable to
longevity is thus not opposed to the
popular and correct idea that milk is
not good for elderly people. If in a
family half the household supply of
milk is skinned for the adults and
the cream is added to the other half
for the children, every one should be
suited. And in old age, which in Mrs.
Fay's case began at siXty-five, little
or no meat should be eaten.
Science has greatly increased the av-
erage duration of human life and the
process is only at its beginning. fhus
far the study has been mainly to 'ure
disease Diet and the prolongation Of
life will be an increasing care i'm the
future.

One of the old Governors of the Caro-
linas was man who had lived
farmers life most of the time until he
was elected and his wife, having new
err seen a steamboat or a railroad and
having no wish to test either one re-
fused to accompany her husband to
the capital.
When the Governor reached his desti-
nation he found that almost all the
other officials were accompanied by
their wives, and he sent an impera-
tive message to his brother to fetch
Melinda along"
The brother telegraphed: shes
afraid even to look at the engine"
The Governor read the message and
pondered over it for a few moments.
AT the end of that time he sent off the
following command: bill, you blind
fold Melinda and back her ON to the
train"

A popular form of entertainment
during fall and winter evenings is for
tune-telling which always proves of
fascinating interest to the young folk
the latter are sometimes loath to ad-
init it. One of the cleverest systems of
those who read the future by cards is
called THE Star Of Fortune" A de-
scription of this method of reading the
future is as follows:
In the first place, shuttle the cards
well, leaving out the one representing
the consulting person. Queen or king
of hearts, diamonds, clubs or spades,
depending on the complexion OF tile
person) Lay this face card in the
center of the table.
After shuffling let the consulting per-
son or sitter cut twice, separating the
pack into three portions, cutting the
cards toward him or her. Lay the
first cut in front of the pack, and jump
the next cut over it toward the one
consulting
Then the fortune teller should look
at the bottom card of each cut. taking
them up in regular order as they lie,
face down.
As the cards run in this cut, good or
bad, so will run the general luck of the
sitter.
Then take up the pack and begin to
deal, with the face card in the center
of the table, discard each card from
the pack in your hand until you come
to seven spot.
Continue discarding and using the
card next after a seven, laying the Sec
ond card obtained directly under the
face card, the third to the left, and the
fourth above.
If two sevens come together, place
the second seven next to the last card
in the pack and continue.
Should three sevens appear in suctes-
sion, shuttle and begin again on the
round, counting it most lucky-seven
being the mystic number.
After the four cards are laid shuttle
the pack and go around again, this
time laying the cards found after each
seven at angles.
The third round, being careful to
shuttle again, the cards are laid as in
the first round. The fourth time at
angles, as in the second round, the
fifth as in the first, and the sixth as
in the second.
Now twenty-four cards have been
laid about the face cards, forming the
Star of Fortune"
Taking the red cards-the ace of dia-
monds means a letter containing happy
news, the duece or two-spot Of dia-
monds is the largest sum of money in
the pack, representing a fortune run
ming into millions.
The three of diamonds means small
sum of money, the four a wealthy
house. Five of diamonds means a
money letter, and the nearest face
card means the one from whom 1t
comes. Six of this suit signifies money
won by very hard work. Seven of dia-
monds always means general good for
tune and a comfortable state Of af-
fairs. Eight is the only unlucky one
OF this suit, indicating loss of money,
and If persistent in returning means
downright poverty. The nine of dia-
monds is the card of the Spectator,
and always signifies a speculative dis
position-if surrounded by cards of evil
