Those who will tolerate the onion
are Mortified at the mere mention OF

AstroIoay With Risks.

Formerly they had rough-and-read,
modes of testing claims to supernatu
raj powers.
"Dost thou know where thou wilt
pass Christmas?" asked Henry VII,
of an astrologer He could not
tell.
Whereupon the kings grace which
did love a merry Jest, made answer:
Then am wiser than thou. for
know that thou wilt spend Christmas
In prison"
John Galeazzo. duke of Milan, is
said to have made even merrier at
the expense of an astrologer who fore.
told him that he would die early.
"And how long do you expect to
liver" he inquired OF the prophet.
MY lord, my star promises me a
long life"
Never trust to your star, man; you
are to be hanged today" the duke
took care that his own prediction
should be fulfilled.

since his days in the Mimic House hos

OF the suffering woman, heard the

treating him to tell all the world what
his Allie was, and listened to Rab
