Has the veil of mystery that has so
long shrouded the ancient sciences been
raised at last? Can 1t be that a system
has been perfected that reveals with
reasonable accuracy the character and
disposition of an individual, and SO out

errors and taking advantage of opper-
tunities?

j He is a man of kindly feeling to-
ward humanity, and his manner and
tone Immediately impress one with his
sincere belief in his work. A huge
stack of grateful letters from people
who have received readings from him
adds TO other convincing proof as to
his ability. Even Astrologers and Palm
lists admit that his system surpasses
anything yet introduced

CROCODILE TEARS.
Old Legends That the Brutes Shed
Thorn Over Their Prey.

ncWt 0NSE tHCi F'VJt
There was an old story, to which we
find constant reference in Elizabethan
writer's. that crocodiles wept over
their prey. No doubt the legend arose
because the crocodile possesses large
ly developed lachrymal glands. but IL
appears in various amusing forms.
As early as the fourteenth century,
In "Mandevile's Travels we find: I'm
that contre ben great plentee OF Coka.
driIIes Theise serpentes sien men, and
thei eten hem wepynge."
An odd turn Is given to the tale By
the narrator of one Of Sir John Haw.
kins' voyages. Whether he was mar
ried man or not we do not know. but
he writes: "His nature is ever. wher
he would have his prey. to cry and
sob like a Christian body. to provoke
them to come to him. and then h,
snatched at them. And thereupor
came this proverb, that is applied untt
women when they weep, Lachryma'
crocodile. the meaning whereof Is tina
MS the crocodile when he crieth goetl
them about most to deceive, so doth
woman most commonly when sh'
weepeth."
In Fuller's WORTHLESS" there is tn
added information that "the crocodile
tears are never true save when he |
forced where saffron eroweth." Shake
speare. Spenser and Dryden allude t
| this old world fancy.
