Fortune Telling In Oidcn Days.

Nowadays girls go to fortune
tellers with strange names shiny,
fascinating eyes and wierd studios,
when they want n peep into the fu-
ture. In grondmother's day the
mystery of tomorrow was read In
much more simple ways. One
popular way was to learn which of
two sweethearts was to be the final
choice was to plant three sprigs OF
some rapid growing plant. one
named for the girl and the other
two for each OF her two favorite
beaus. The one that grew nearest
TO her was destined to be her hus-
band. Another way was to lay
three twigs on bench or shelf. II
two of them, one named for the girl
and one for one of the beaus blew
off, 1t meant that the two would
marry and go away. II only one
twig, that of one OF the beaus blew
away, 1t meant that the two remain
Ing would be married. If all three
twigs blew off the bench the occur
ance was interpreted to indicate that
the girl would remain an old maid.
II the two beau twigs were blown
away and she remained on the bench,
1t meant that she would marry, but
not ono Of those two.
In the winter when there were
no buds and all the ground was
white with snow the girls used to
be so anxiouh to know their for
tunes that they would creep down In
the big cellar and hide three onions
on a shelf. They named each onion,
and the one that sprouted first was
the man they were to marry.

Properties of Gold,

Pure gold is unaffected by the at
mosphere either at ordinary tenn
peratures or when the metal Is
heated. It Is also proof against the
action OF common acids when used
singly.
Moreover, It confers its properties
more or less upon copper and silver
when these metals are alloyed with
1T. Thus. for example, twelve karat
go Will withstand the action of
nitric acid and the atmosphere at
ordinary temperature. but some OF
the copper will be oxidized during
annealing. Nine parts OF gold may
be alloyed with tenparts Of platinum
In an ordinary crucible and fire, but
such an alloy will not be uniform; a
larger proportion Of platinum will
free itelf from the solidification and
homogeneous alloy OF the two
metals cannot be obtained.

TO FREsHEN FLOWERS.
Ono of the Little Things That Every
Woman Should Know.

1t always seems so distressing to
see beautiful cut flowers wither and
fade, and to revive flowers that are
not actually dead try my plan. Cut
tiny piece from each stem and
place the stems In a large glass, or,
even better, jar of cold water; then
submerge the jar in bucket of cold
water, allowing the entire bunch to
be almost covered. Put all In dark
place, cover with a newspaper to ex-
clude the air; let them remain thus
overnight: In the morning they will
be as fresh as new, even to the
glistening dew drops"
Roses and carnations respond bet
ter than other flowers treated In this
manner, but SO far l have not found
any way to freshen violets satisfact-
orily, says a writer in Success.
1t might not be amiss to add that
wilted green vegetables, such as spin
ach. lettuce and celery, are to be
freshened by this same means, and
may be kept for days. changing the
water every morning, of course
However. we all know that the fresh.
er all vegetables. the better they are.

II Mr.. So-andSo is in, knowing at the

Important Rules for Vendors Of Ice
Cream, Fish and Meat to Remem.
Der During Hot Weather

Dairy and Food Commissioner
Foust has laid down some new rules
under the new food law, especially
relative to fish and meats offered
for sale in summer. All such food
must be covered and protected from
flies and insects by screens. ANY
meat or fish kept for sale in any
other manner will be held to be a
vocation of the law. This will be
the first time such requirements
have been laid down for the sale of
such provisions and Mr.. Foust be-
lieves that it will do much toward
preventing possible illness.
The last requirements are that
any foreign substance will be con-
sldered all adulteration.
AS to fruit, and nut ice cream,
they must be true to name, no mat.
ter whether fresh or canned fruits
or nuts are used, and must contain
no less than 10 per cent. butter
tat, together with sugar, eggs and
a small amount of gelatine, not ex-
ceeding 3 ounces to 10 gallons of
cream.

A Sustaining Diet.

These are the enervating days, when,
as somebody has said, men drop by the
sunstroke as if the Day of Fire had
dawned. They are fraught with dan
ger to people whose systems are poorly
sustained and this leads us to say, in
the interest of the less robust of our
readers, that the full effect Of Hoods
Sarsaparilla is such as to suggest the
propriety of calling this medicine some
thing besides blood purifier and tonic,
say, sustaining diet. 1t makes il
much easier to bear the heat, assures
refreshing sleep, and will without any
doubt avert much sickness at this time
of year.
