While there are few civilized coun-
tries in which the plan of giving pres
ents at Christmas time is not almost
universal nowadays, this was not al.
ways the case, Indeed, the world has
acquired many Of the customs now In
vogue at this period of the year from
the Germans, who pay more attention
to Christmas than the people Of any
other nation.
It Is to them perhaps that we owe
the Inauguration Of the gift giving as
well as the beautiful institution of the
Christmas tree. The presents equally
with the tree have been popular
among the Germans from medieval
times, With the introduction Of Ger

Admiral George Dewey, hero OF Ma
Mia bay, when congratulated upon the
attainment of quarters of CEN
utry of good health, gave some good
advice to public men. He said he at
tributed his long life and good condi-
ton to much riding and abstainlng
from midnight banquets, and he added:
so should any man who wants to feel
as young as | do when he is seventy
five" Quite true! The temptations
are great with the man in the lime
light to indulge in excuses. largely
to please his friends and admirers.
The American banquet, an ornate
feeding ceremony lasting several
hours. robbing the man of increasing
years of the sleep which is required
to neutralize the ravages of time, and
playing hob with his digestive appa-
ratus, has undoubtedly cost many
lives. 1t takes strong and vigorous

HOW TO TELL FORTUNES
One Formula Can Be Made to Fit Almost
Everybody.

The way to tell peoples fortunes is to have

to succeed. For instance supposing Falstaff and
Hamlet had their fortunes told by the same
soothsayer. / imagine he would have told Ham
let's character as follows, Maurice Barring writes
in the Metropolitan:
you are not so fortunate as you seem. You
have great deal of sense, but more sense than
knowledge You can give admirable advice to
other people. Your judgment Is excellent as re-
CARDS others but bad as regards yourself You
never value your own good advice You are
fond of your friends. You prefer talk to action.
You suffer from indecision. You fond of the
stage You are susceptible to female beauty.
You are witty amiable and well educated, but
you like coarse jokes You are superstitious and
believe in ghosts You can make people laugh.
You often pretend to be more foolish than you
are At other times you will surprise people by
your power OF apt repartee Your bane will be
your inclination to fat, which will hamper you in
fighting. You are unsuccessful a soldier. but
unrivaled as a companion and philosopher You
will mix In high society," have friends at court.
You will come of badly In personal encounter,
and your final enemy will be king"
Now imagine him saying exactly the same
thing to Falstaff Doesn't it ft him just as well?
