Spain Strengthening Civil Guard.

Madrid, Oct. o8.-(Via Hendaye, Oct.
%. doubtful Of the loyalty OF the
Spanish army to the government, Spain
is today bending every effort to
strengthen her civil guard, the strong
est bulwark OF reaction in the country.
Recruiting is going on everywhere for
the guard, ard sincc tho revolution in
Portugal its membership has been al
most doubled.
The civil guard is distinct from the
regular police, corresponding more
nearly to the French gendarmcrie. In
the vicinity Of Barcelona alone the
government now has 5000 guardsmen
ready for service on an instant's notice.
While the troops recruited from the
people share the lattcr's sympathies
and preiudices and are saturated with
republicanism, the guardsmen are mere
mercenaries. They are well paid, and
instead of being gathered haphazard by
CONSUMPTION, are picked from just the
material the government wants. The
prisons contribute largely to the filling
OF their ranks.

FORTUNE TELLING ON HAL
E.D1fE,EN,

With Halloween SO near everybody
is casting about for suggestions fortheil
own participation in the fun Of this
mysterious fete evening, and many
plans are suggested for ways and means
Of Halloween entertainment.
1t is wise to plan for this mystic
season in plenty of time because Hal
lowe EN- parties require more prepare
ton beforehand than the ordinary
everyday entertainment.
Fortune telling is indispensable II Of
this occasion for Halloween is Il nigh
Of wh.tchcraft, in the working Of love
charms.
Place in row three sauccrs, one
containing milk will marry riches
drinking waite, and sthe third empty.
Bin fold The guests and let each one
dip her fingers IN one 0, the saucers
that containing milk she will marry
riches; the one choosing the SANGER oil
water will be poor and the ono who
dips into the empty saucer will bc an
old maid, or bachelor. as the case may
be.
For n chldrcn's party this fortune
telling game should be varied slightly.
Cut out letters from newspaper and
scatter them in a bowl of water. Let
the blindfulded children draw until the
letters are all gone. What they have
drawn will form words or sSlIablrs
Which the teller of the fortune can con-
s;rue rs her imagination dictates.
Another attrl, tvs fortune-telIing
method for Halloween is the drop
ping OF melted lead TITO cold water. As
the lead har4Icns It viii form shapes
whereby the fortune teller can unfold
4 tale OF the future.
The Russian custom is TO use lard
for this purpose instead Of lead. The
hot lard dropped into cold water as
sumcs all sorts OF fantastic shapes.
There must bo games for the Hal
Iowc'cn party besides the telling OF for
tunes, however, OF which none affords
more than "Spearing at Fate. "
For this game n large pumpkin is
chosen into which the alphabet is
burned with hot poker. Hang the
pumpkin thus prepared in an open
doorway. Each guest must be pro-
vidcd with a meat skcwer. The
pumpkin is set to whirling as fast
as possible and the guests take turns
trying to spur one Of the letters.
If they succeed, the letter spcared as
supposed to be the initial Of his or her
wife or husband, as the sex OF the
spcarer may be.
The obstacle race affords great
deal OF amusement at a Hallowe ZEN
party. Three or four members OF
the party are chosen and sent from
the room. In their absence such
articles OF books, cushions, ncws-
papers, and iootstools arc strewn
about the floor. When this has Keen
done one Of the victims is called into
the room and shown the articles
and their LOCATION, He Is then
blindiollcd, during which process
some one quietly removes Tie articles.
To the merriment OF the spectators
the blindtoldod guest starts toward his
stipulated destination making every
effort to step over the articles which
he has seen upon the floor, but which
are no longer there,
The others waiting outside are in
turn admitted and put through this
highly amusing imitation, much to
their own confusion and tho delight OF
the other guests.
