SECRET OF TEACUP
FORTUNE TELLING

It is considered good fun these days
to dip into mystery. Crystal reading,
fortune telling and mind reading are
all popular as pastimes.
The girl who is at a loss to know
what to do with her guests some eve
ming might get cup of tea and tell
fortunes. Every one will be interested.
1t is a game that always succeeds.
A few drops of tea must be left in
the cup with grounds in it. The per-
son whose fortune is to be told must
make wish, repeating it-not aloud
three times, after which the cup is
whirled around to throw the grounds
into the fluid. 1t must then be given
to the fortune teller, who begins the
prophecy.
She will have to be rather quick in
speech and imagination. because she
wants to make up things as she goes
along. Some of the indications are
these: A woman is told by a light leaf
that spreads to indicate a gown. A
figure in kneeling posture denotes an
offer of marriage. Groups of dots near
it means acceptance. An absence of
these means rejection. A heart shaped
leaf promises a love affair. Two hearts
mean marriage. Two figures near
together, with the grounds near, means
an engagement.
A love letter is indicated by four
dots forming square. Crosses mean
a6versity; ring denoteA happy mar
riage. Dots in line tell of sickness
or bad news. A long line means jour-
ney. If there are dots clustered at the
end of this it means new friends and
many pleasures at the journeys end.
Seven dots in row stand for great
prosperity. A leaf folded over the rim
promises something unpleasant. If
the rim of the cup is clear a happy
future is assured.-Chicag News.

BUENOS AIRES BECOMES
CITY OF SKYSCRAPERS
South American Metropolis
Rapidly Being Modernized

Nearly 80 per cent of the population
of Argentina live in incorporated
places of over $4,000 inhabitants and
fully 90 per cent of them live within
20 mile radius of the federal capital,
Buenos Aires, which is to a greater ex-
tent than any other capital In the
world the concentrated center Of COM
merce industries, manufactures, popu-
lation and wealth of the entire country.
While only 1887 buildings were erect
ed in Buenos Aires in 1909, as against
1882 in 1908 and .146 in 1907, many
of them were very large, modern office
buildings built of structural steel OF
type utterly unknown four years ago.
The largest hotel and the largest Of
flee building in South America were
completed in Buenos Aires in 1909,
both built by architects and with ma
terials from the United States. Buenos
Aires is being transformed by the new
"skyscrapers" and the large, modern
apartment houses built in the semi
French style. It is said that six years
ago steam heat was almost unknown in
Buenos Aires, where the winter season,
though short, can be cold and damp
while today every new apartment house
mas a good system of steam heating.
The old one story houses are rapidly
giving away to more modern struc-
lures. There are not enough houses to
accommodate the population of a city
which gains some go, 900 Inhabitants a
year, forming an additional reason for
the constantly increasing cost of living.
OF the many municipal improve
ments carried out or begun in 1903
under the supervision of NJ Bouvard,
the eminent French landscape gardener,
the new Congress park will provide a
breathing space the size of the White
House grounds in Washington in the
heart of the city for a time, and thes
broad new streets in the suburbs will
greatly help future traffic.

the rest of the rushing was for short
distances.
At the start Of the second period
Harvard made a field goal from the Is
yard line. Again the play was in the
armys territory, but the cadets line
was stiff and Harvard could make but
short gains. Harvard did not get
nearer than the army's 40 yard line.
Two bad Harvard fumbles at the
beginning of the third period enabled
the cadets to almost reach the middle
of the field. Then the army tried a
double pass and attempted onside
kick. Wilmington broke through.

the first touchdown. Fisher kicked the
goal. Harvard 6, West Point o.
The rest of the period was again In
army territory, but Harvard rushed out
a fine forward pass for 20 yard gain.
West Poipt became very weary in
the last period. Harvard rushed the
ball to the three yard line, where the
cadets made a grand stand and pre-
vented a second score. A Harvard
TRY" for a goal from the field failed
and the game ended with the ball on
the cadets 10 yard line.

Brant kicked off for California and
play seesawed in midfeld. From a
lineout the California forwards secured
and started a long rush along the side
lines which resulted in a long gain.
Hill at fullback and Kennedy at half
back showed well in the play which
followed. Brant broke away for a
good gain and play was transferred
into St Mary's territory.
About the middle of the half Cooper
secured from the serum, and. after
lodging three of the Catholic players,
scored in a good position. Brant failed
to convert.

Every person wishing to pur-

permit from the magistrate of his
district. There is no restriction on
the lawful use Of revolvers. The
import tariff is S1.22 each plus 10
per cent ad valorem- The owner
ship of revolvers is not common to
the people. except in the coast
towns. their use among the farm

favorite type of revolver is the

about $14.6O The police use the
.45 'caliber British army regulation
revolver, the purchase of which
devolves on the secretary to the
law department
Very little trap shooting Is in
