SOCIETY OF ASTR0L 0aERs.
Minneapolis Man Promotes orsaniza
ton of American Star Gazers.

Minneapolis Man Promotes Organiza-
ton of American Star Gazers.
A movement has been started by
Charles M. White of Minneapolis,
Mimi, to organize a society Of all as
trologers and students of astrology
and to incorporate the society in order
to give the reputable astrologers in
the United States the dignity Of pro-
fession which, Mr.. White says. Is as
legitimate as the profession Of medt
cine, dentistry or surgery.
Mr.. White is now sending to almost
every big city of the United States to
get in touch with astrological students
and prepare. for organization. All as
trologers Of doubtful character are to
be debarred from membership, and
any one practicing astrology in an il
legitimate manner or putting it on the
plane Of fortune telling will be prose
cuted by the society and, If possible.
driven out Of business.
Many physicians and men and woe
en- of prominence are interested in tina
movement In New York the ons
most active is A. Stevenson, and otk.
ers are Ray Broughton and Walter 81.
Lewis Of Manchester, N. 81.
Il think intelligent men are begin
ming to realize that the old science of
astrology, which has outlived all the
attacks against it for so many thou.
sand years, is a divine science and
holds the mystery Of the universe.
said Mr.. Lewis the other day. 1T re-
quires a study Of many years Of the
hardest kind before any one can even
get an idea Of its tremendous truth
and possibilities to the human race.
am glad to see that scientific men all
over the country are beginning to
study it. Many physicians are making
use Of the science to diagnose their
patients ailments and are very sue
cessful"

When Sir Charles Napier had con.

possible to force or coax the willy
Egyptian into signing the treaty which
only would make his victory effective
He had nineteen interviews with
Mehemet, in which the Englishman by
turns argued, flattered and threatened
his antagonist. who listened day after
day with the same immovable, smiling
countenance.
One day Sir Charles in speaking OF
England said casually that it twas

countenance, but he made 10 answer
As soon as Napier had gone Mehemet
sent for the English consul, who was
an Egyptian, and demanded:
"You were in London when the Eng

omens bad or good?"
"All good"
"You think that good luck is writ

anxiously. "She must be lucky"

General Gordon's remarkable 1nfu-
ence over the Chinese was in large
degree due, it is stated, to their belief
in his extraordinary luck. During the
TAPPING rebellion he was followed by
an army which did not comprehend
either his ability or his religious zeal,
but which believed that he was pro-
tected by an invisible being who led
them to victory. No sword could
wound him or bullet kill. A certain
black ebony cane which he carried was
supposed to be the magic talisman
which brought him victory, and Cen
eral Gordon was shrewd enough al
ways to carry this cane when he led
them into battle.
These superstitions seem absurd to-
US, but they show that the ignorant
men who hold them believe in an in

fortune at his will.-London Truth.

'"The new religion will admit no sac

terpretations of such rites. Its priests
will strive to improve social and in
dustrial conditions. 1t will not at
tempt to reconcile people to present
ills by the promise Of future compensa-
tion. I believe the advent Of just free
dom for mankind has been delayed for
centuries by such promises. Proven

or creed. Its workings will be simple,

discipline will be the training in the

again and again different bodies

MAN EATING TIGERS.
The Killing Methods Of These Terrible
Brutes In India.

The Killing Methods Of These Terrible
Brutes In India.
The theory that man eating tiger
is always an old tiger, more or less
toothless and feeble, which has found
the strain of catching vigorous wild
game too much for its failing strength.
has been upset by the bagging of no.
torious man eaters which were found
to be young animals in the full pride
of their powers. And it is likely that
the taste for human flesh is passed
on from mother to child, the tigress,
herself a man eater, teaching her cubs
to hunt as she hunts. How terrible a
thing a man eater may be can be
judged from the fact that tiger gen.
orally kills every second night, whether
it's quarry be man or beast. Having
killed, it makes one meal that night,
then drags the carcass somewhere into
cover and more or less conceais it as
a dog may hide bone, On the next
night it's habit is to return to the same
kill, and it is in that second visit that
the hunter usually finds his oppor-
tunity. 1t is not the rule for tiger
to return again a third time, not be-
cause it is above eating carrion, but
seemingly it tires Of the carcass, which
it has already twice mumbled over.
Thus one tiger in India has been
known to kill regularly its fifteen ma
lives a month with almost mechanical
punctuality. Another, which seeming
~ did not confine itself entirely to
human flesh, devoured an average Of
eighty people, men and women, for
several years, while yet another is
reported to have killed 127 people and
to have stopped traffic on a public
road for many weeks. There have
been both English sportsmen and ma
tive shikaris who have accounted for
their hundred tigers and upward, but
many a tiger has killed more human
beings than any man has ever scored
tigers.-London Times. "

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.

the shilling changed into pence.

Something suspiciously like moisture
came into the old mans eyes as he
glanced into the bright, open counte-

ashamed Of himself as he mechanically
held out his hand for the remaining
eleven copies. 49,. .r ,.,.,, :

service does grant. the free use OF
timber to miners in the preliminary
development of their claims. unless
there is n sufficient stand OF timber
for that purpose upon the claims The
locations made by Mr.. Yard and the
mining company have retarded the
timber development of a rich section
of the country lying along the newly
constructed Western Pacific railroad.
Since the claims are located In a
moro or less mineralized country, In
whicn successful mining has been
done IN the past, the locations for
265,066 acres have necessarily en-
braceG some mineral lands, and as The
claimants have carried on no mining
operations, these mineral lands have
really been withheld from legitimate
MINERS and the mineral development
of that section has been interfcred
with and retarded by the fraudulent
claims No effort has been made by
The claimants to discover or develop
minerals upon any of the lands
The decision OF che first assistant
secretary of the interior has estab-
lished a policy which will enable the
forest service to protect national for
est timber lands from fraudulent ap-
preparation under guise OF the mining
laws. Both the department OF the In
terror and the department Of agrlcul-
ture announce that there Will be no
difficulty to distinguish between the
proper and fraudulent use OF tho min
ing laws. The benefit of every doubt
is given to miners The greatest caro-
is used before any report adverse to
miners Is accepted by the general land
Office as a basis for charges against
mining claims. Only claimants who
are pervertlng and misusing the min
ing laws for fraudulent purposes have
anything to fear.
There will be a loud protest against
this policy, but the people generally,
even of the West, will support the for
est service In its determination to
sQuelch land grabbers, who, under the
guise of mining are seeking to per-
petrate extensive timber land frauds.
