TO FORETELL FUTURE
USE OF WHITE OF EGG Is RECON-
MENDED.
Those Who Are Tired of the Familiar
Methods of Cards and Tea Grounds
Might Find Some Amusement
In the Practice.

This is one of the least known of
all methods of foretelling the future,
according to the ancient, secret wis
dom of prophetic insight. Yet it is
one of the most interesting, and easy
to perform-though, of course, like all
methods of the kind, some skill and
practice are necessary In order to in
terpret quickly and speedily the SYM
bolic interpretations of the signs pre-
sented/ writes Prof. Sothnos Lalillier
in the New York American.
In order to practice this part of ca
balistic Interpretation, you must pro-
cure fresh egg-as new-laid as pos
sible-and carefully separate the white
Of the egg from the yolk Nearly fill
a tumbler with cold water and drop
the white of the egg into it, drop at
time. Now place this glass carefully
aside for "a hours, being sure to cover
the glass carefully, and that the water
does not become warmed by proximity
ito a radiator, etc. /B
When you again look. at the glass,
you will find that your white Of egg
has CONCEALED into various odd-shaped
figures-circles, squares, animals,
trees. crosses, etc.-which are to be
interpreted according to the formula
that follows.
Long, wavy lines denote losses and
troubles;s straight lines, on the con-
trary, denoting peace, long life, pros
perity and happiness.
Squares denote peace and happi
ness; ring, marriage. II letter can
be discovered near the ring this will
be the first letter of the name of the
person you are to marry. If clouds
are about the ring, think long and care
fully before accepting this person,
even if he offers marriage.
If leaf is seen, speedy good fortune
will come your way from some unex
pected source. If an anchor is seen.
fidelity in love is indicated. If dog
is seen, this is good sign, if near the
top Of the glass, denoting faithful
friends; if near the middle, doubtful
ones; and if near the bottom, enemies
to be avoided.
A lily or similar flower foretells hap
piness, If near the top OF the glass;
disappointment II near the bottom If
number of small dots or spots are
present, money is coming your way,
unless clouds surround them, in which
case you will receive bad tidings and
notice of losses A heart denotes a
love letter which you will shortly re,
ceive. The sun, moon or stars denote
happiness and success.

beautiful lakes have been discovered,
which the Hungarians have named the
"eyes of the sea-" The irregularity of
cliff and gorge and the beauty of these
deep highland lakes are the chief seem

There are no glaciers, no patches Of
perennial snow in the system. How
ever, many of the higher peaks are
great, ugly masses of bald rock and

The National Geographic society
gives the following description Of
Czenstochowa, which has figured in the
campaign in Poland:
Czenstochowa, called by the Ger
mans Czentochau, city in Russian
Poland, is one of the foremost Nee
cas- of the pilgrimage-going Slavo-
mans. More than western Christians
of whatever creed go to Jerusalem
more than Roman Catholics go to
Rome or protestants to Eisenach and
Geneva, do the Slavonians take up
the pilgrims staff and wander to their
holy places. These people of the North
are akin to the people of India in that
force of their religion which drives
them from their homes on religious
pilgrimage.
Famed throughout Russia, Poland
and among the southern Slavonians
is the little city of Czenstochowa
wherein is the shrine of the wonder

miles from the German frontier at
Lower Silesia. Czenstochowa lies on
the left bank of the Warta, northwest
of Cracow, and is an important station
on the Warsaw-Cracow railway. 1t is
143 miles southwest of Warsaw.
Commercially, the city is of no i'm
portance. It's business is mostly with
the pilgrims, of whom more than four
hundred thousand come to its shrine
every year. There are a dozen or
more factories in the place, manufac-
turing cotton and wooden stuffs, paper,
leather and beer. More important Is

business with the visitors In religious
writings and sacred pictures. The sale
of amulets, warding charms against

the city's trade.

MANY Animals Killed.

Large numbers of predatory animals
were destroyed last year by federal
forest officers in the national forests.
More coyotes were slaughtered than
any other animal, nearly 5000 being
killed. Wildcats were second in the
casualty list; of these 533 meeting
violent ends. Then came bears, the
death list being 240. Other animals
killed In considerable numbers were
wolves, lyhxes. and mountain lions.
Over 10000 acres In the Coconino for.

the use Of poison.

its parts of most historic importance.
They are steep and craggy in their
northern exposures. while toward the
south they fall away in lesser noun
tain groups and broken, sloping pla-
teaus. With the exception of parts
of the eastern ramifications, which be-
long to Roumania, this range lies
wholly within Austro-H Hungarian terri
tory. It's total area is 1880 square
miles.
The Carpathians attain the greatest
height in the Hohe Tatra group, near
the center of the range and just east
and south of Cracow, the chief city of
Austrian Galicia. The system also has
It's greatest width here. Throughout
the chain the passes over the noun
tains vary from to 230 miles. The
heights of the peaks Of the Hohe Ia
ira group are 5000 feet and more.
Gerlsdorfer peak, the highest one in
the entire system, reaches 8,737 feet
above the sea level Thus the Car
pathian range has no mountain for
nations to compare with the more ma
jestic Alpine groups or with those or
our own Rockies. There are innumer-
able peaks through this Hungarian
line of defense, however, which vary
from 5000 to 1000 feet in height, and
these walls, together with the in
volved characters of most Of the
passes, have made the Carpathians a
very effective barrier against northern
invaders.
People Are MlserabIy Poor.
These mountains separate Hungary,
beginning on the west, from the Aus
trian provinces Of Moravia, Silesia,
Galicia, Bukowina, Moldavia and the
kingdom of Roumania. Some of the
most miserably poor white people in
the world live along this range and
upon its forest-covered sides. They
are mostly Slavs, Polish Slavs upon
the bleak, more abrupt northern ex-
posures, while the jewellers of Slovak-
land, people almost become subject
to the Magyar, live upon the southern
mountains.

their bearing on the European
situation and upon central Eu-
ropean climatic conditions, the
National Geographic society's
bulletin says:
The Carpathians are among the best
friends which Hungary has. They
stretch in wide-flung arc around the
northern plain of the Magyar, from
Pressburg, on the Danube, Aear vi
emma, to Orsova, on the Danube, across
from Roumania. Thus they form
nearly the entire boundary of Hun
gary east and north of the Danube, a
line of about eight hundred miles in
length. The hollow of this arc, as well
as its most favorable approach, lies
toward Hungary. Troops pressing for
ward along this whole convex noun
tain sweep, are facing the least favor
able passes and are operating with
the least shelter from the biting winter.
Besides having served the peoples
who have lived in the Hungarian plain

tense against the wrath of their neigh
bors in the north and east, the Car
pathians have been just as partisan
for the southern plain in times OF
peace. They shut out the singing,
bleak winds which snap across the
steppe wastes direct from the frostiest
Ice fields of the North. While the Car
pathian range Is of low average height
and has no great peaks, it's walls, new
ertheless, are lofty enough to catch
the Russian ice winds and billiards.,
and to defect them away from Hun
gary. Again, in summer, the warm
southern breezes are caught and
broken on the Hungarian hillsides,
which thus prevent them from reach
