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

The way to tell peoples fortunes Is to have
one list of characteristics and to 1t for every
one without the slightest variation. It is bound
to succeed. For instance supposiug Falstaf 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 a 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 regards yourself You
never value your good advice You are
fond of your friends. You prefer talk to action.
You suffer from indecision. You are fond of the
stage. You are susceptible to female beauty.
You are witty, amiable and well educated but
you like coarse jokes. You supersttious and
believe In ghosts. You 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 unsuccessful as soldier. but
unrivaled as a companion and philosopher You
will mix in high society. have friends at court.
You will come off badly in personal encounter,
and your final enemy will be king"
Now imagine him saying exactly the same
thing to Falstaf. Doesn't 1t fit him just well?
Can't you imagine Falstaff saying He has hit
me off to T." and Hamlet murmuring, my
prophetic soul!' In fact I believe fortune tell
ing, after that of medicine, to be the finest pro-
fession In the world and the easiest.

Ccylon Tea.

Tea plantations in Ceylon have been
in existence only so years, yet the an
nual exports OF black tea amount to
nearly $20,000,O00 in value. Formerly
coffee constituted Ceylon's main in
dustry, but after a disease of the plant
in 1880 its cultivation was discontin-
ued. Many planters, however. re-
couped themselves by tea and rubber.
Thanks chiefly to the former article,
the islands old prosperity revived. To,
day Ceylon boasts 1900 plantations.
Plant necessary to tea cultivation is
costly but very laborsaving. The
work itself is not hard; only the eli
mate makes it irksome. What is
wanted mainly of employees is to
watch mancinery and feed it from the
stock of tea leaves awaiting treat
ment. The workers are not Sin.s-
halese, but natives of southern Indi%.
A laborers wages vary from eight to
sixteen cents day, while a foreman's
salary averages 5000 a month.-Har-

Unplcked Grapes Go to the Poor.

A curious old law, which dates from
1878. has been used to sentence the
owner of vineyard at Capestang.
near Beziers, France, to ane and
costs for picking her own grapes. She
was picking the grapes which had been
left on the vines in her vineyard after
the fall gathering. when the policeman
told her that she was committing an
offense against the law. as all grapes
left on the vines after the harvest
were the property of the poor. The
court at Beziers confirmed the police
mans opinion. and the woman was
