Israel in the old times, but proph-
ecy as a vocation has fallen into
disuss in modern life-unless we
count the weather man, who is
only q guesser.
Every country since the Bible
days has had its prophet. its seer
into the future. And some Of
them have foretold with surpris-
ing accuracy things which after
wards came to pass.
Among modern prophets is
Mother Shipton, an English wo-
man, who was said to have been
the daughter of the devil and
Mary Shipton." Whether this
is a sarcastic allusion to a bad
father we do not know, but
Mother Shipton in her latter
years came to be something of a
prophecies. She foretold the
wonderful age Of iron inventions,
the telegraph, and a dozen other
things which are realities of our
time. People laughed at her
when she talked of the coming
"horseless carriage" and when
she said that thought shall fly
round the world in the twinkling
of an eye," but today we have
the steam locomotive and the au-
tomobile; and we talk from New
York to New Orleans as quickly
as we can close an eye.
Mother Shipton was discred-
tied in her own time and today
she is set down as a half myth
ical and a wholly crazy old wo-
man.
Picking up a volume of Tenny-
son and reading the following
lines:
"For l dipt into the future. far as
human eye could see,
Saw the vision of the world and all the
wonder that would be;
Saw the heavens filled with commerce,
argosies of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight, dropping
down with costly bales;
Heard the heayens fill with shouting,
and there rain'd a CHASTITY dew
From the nations airy navies graphing
in the central blue;
Far along the worldwide whisper of
the south wind rushing warm,
With the standards Of the peoples
plunging through the thunder
storm;
Till the war drums throbbed no longer.
and the battle flags were furl'd
In the parliament of man, the feder-
alton of the world
That the common sense of most shall
hold a fretful realm in awe,
And the kindly earth shall slumber:iapt
in universal law"
we ask ourselves if there was not
a prophet living nearer to US
than old mother Shipton of $50
years ago.
Was Tennyson but drawing
upon his imagination when he
wrote of airy navies and Of heav-
ems filled with. commerce and
ma gic sails, or was there a CLEAN
of prophecy in his lines, and did
he mean the airships which are
beginning to FILL our heavens?"
It would almost seem that
nearly half a century ago when
he wrote "Lockley Hail." he had
at least as much inspiration for
divining the future as old Moth
er Shipton.
And it is possible that the
Parliament of Man, the FEEDER
alton of the world" which he
wove in his rhyme with such
consumate skill, was a foreshad-
owing of a world peace. the ar
bitration treaties which our coun-
try is about to make with foreign
nations.
He may have been but a beau
tiful rhymer. but who can say
that his poets eye in a fine fren-
zy rolling" did not pierce the
veil that hangs before the future
and see Moisant and his cat, or
Atwood and his empty gasoline
tank, as he now flies toward New
York.

The Doctors Joke.

A physician who never goes out at
night without leaving directions as to
where to find him If wanted profes-
sionally was at a theater near Forty
second street recently with friend.
Just before the curtain went up on
the second act an usher handed him a
note reading: "Come to the office at
once. Don't telephone. Come" The
note was signed by colleague, and
the doctor lost no time in obeying the
peremptory summons. Arriving at his
destination, he was confronted by sew
eral friends, who coo1ly explained that
he had been used to decide bet as to
the length Of time it would take to COW
er the distance which he had trav-
ersed. The victims anger was only
slightly appeased when he was assur-
ed that the perpetrators Of the joke
knew no one else who was good ma
tured enough to furnish the informa.

The Spider Cure.

The request for nut to put a spi'
der in to cure baby's whooping cough
which recently startled Somerset
shopkeeper recalls the spider "cures"
Of the past. There was, and indeed Is,
for instance, that Irish belief in the
web as a remedy for cuts, warts and
bruises and that superstition Of the
eastern counties which credited 1t with
power to cure fevers. The weaver of
the web, too, was looked upon as a
doctor of medicine.
A note from an ancient Notes and
Queries gives the illustration. "One OF
my parishioners suffering from ague,"
wrote a Somerset vicar, "w'as advised
to catch large spider and shut him
up in box. AS he pines away the
disease is supposed to wear itself out"
A similar belief prevailed in the south
of Ireland, but there treacle had to be
substituted for the box as coffin for
the ague Observation-Disclosures Gazette.

What nHamIstu Lacked.

In a mining camp town Hamlet"
was one evening given by strolling
company, and this is the criticism that
appeared next day in the local papers,
written by the miner dramatic critic:
"There is too much chinning in this
piece. The author is behind the times
and seems to forget that what we
want nowadays is hair raising situa-
tions and detectives.
"In the hands Of q skillful play
wright a detective would have been
put upon the track of Hamlet's uncle,
and the old man would have been
hunted down in a manner that would
have lifted the audience out Of their
cowhides.
''The moral of the piece is not good.
The scene where Hamlet sasses his
mother is a very bad example to the
rising Nneration.
"Our advice to the author is more
action, more lovemaking and plenty
of specialties. The crazy girl scene
should be cut out altogether and a
rafting good song and dance substi-
tuted."

PUTTING the Owl to use.

There is q choice old recipe, in which
the owl figures, "to make any one
that sleepeth answer to whatsoever
thou ask" given in "Physick For the
Poor" published in London in 1857.
It says that you are to take the heart
Of an owl and his left leg and put
that upon the breast Of one that
sleepeth, and they shall reveal what
soever thou shalt ask them"
The Hindus, however, declare that
the flesh or blood Of an owl will
make a person insane who eats or
drinks it. On this account men who
are devoured by jealousy Of rival or
hatred of an enemy come furtively to
the market and purchase an owl. In
silence they carry it home and secretly
prepare decoction, which an accom-
pfice will put into the food or drink of
the object of their malignant designs.

"Politics," remarked Washington
official, ais science as well as a cir

heard in that connection was about
the cowboy delegate to the constitu-
tional convention of Nevada when that
territory was about to become a state.
In the consdtu on was the stereo,
typed paragraph about the new states
having two senators to represent 1t In
Washington. When it was read to the
convention the cowboy delegate rose
and yelled out:s What's the use of
limiting it to two? We're overwhelm-

Charles ". at Table.

Emperor Charles V. Of Austria, by
far the most powerful ruler Of his day,
was thus described as he appeared at
table by Roger Ascham, secretary to
the English ambassador, in 1850: II
stood hard by the emperor's table. He
had four courses; he had sod beef
very good--roast mutton, baked hare;
these be no service in England. The
emperor hath a good face, a constant
look; he fed well of capon; l have
had better from mine hostess Barnes
many times in nv chamber. He and
Ferdinando, king of the Romans, ate
together very handsomely, Carrying
themselves where they list, without
any curiosity. The emperor drank the
best that ever saw; he had his head
in the glass five times as long as any
Of US and never drank less than good
quart at once of Rhenish wine." It
was notorious that the emperor ate
and drank immoderately, and as nat
ural result he suffered terribly from
gout from the time he was thirty years
old.

Game to the Last.

Douglas Macdonald and his old cro-
ny, Donald MacDougal, were once op-
posed to each other in famous curl
ing match, and the last two stones to
finish the game were the two cronies'.
Donald MacDougal, with enormous
deiberation, threw his stone. He
threw it well. He made what is called
a pat lid and jumped for joy. Then II
was Douglas MacDonald's turn. His
case seemed hopeless, but such splen.
did throw did he make that the pat
lid was knocked off, and his stone lay
at the side Of the tee, winning the
game. In his joy the old fellow jump
ed sky high. He came down so hard
that he broke right through the ice.
He sank, but, b6bbing up again, he
shouted from the cold water:
