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
ali methods of fo-etelling the future,
according TO the ancient, secret Wis
dom OF prophetic insight. Yet il 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 il, drop at 8
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
TO a radiator, etc.
When you again look at the glass.
YOU will find that your white OF egg
has CONCEALED into various odd-shaped
tigures-circles, squares, animals,
trees. crosses, etc-which are to be
interpreted according 10 the formula
that follows
Long, wavy lines denote losses and
troubles; straight lines. on the con-
trary. denoting peace. long life, pros
perity and happiness.
Squares denote peace and happi-
ness: a ring, marriage If a 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
II leaf is seen, speedy good fortune
win come your way from some unex-
pected source. If an anchor is seen,
fidelity in love is indicated. II a dog
is seen. this is a 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 if near the bottom. If
a 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.

The Freaks Must &C.

The secretary of the Minnesota
state fair is authority for the state
ment that the freak" show and the
sensational side show will not have
place in the state fairs of 1916. This
form of entertainment is to be re-
placed by educational exhibitions, the
step having been decided on by the
American Association of Fairs and
Expositions in convention at Chicago.
IL will be a great relief If the
minds of children are not to be alb
normally stimulated by these morbid,
not to say revolving, sights. The idea
that the poor monstrosities of nature
should be exploited by means of their
deformities is repulsive and produc-
tive of no good. The practice of al
lowing takers to grow fat off pro-
ceeds from Showing" these unfor-
tunates is a species of barbarism.
The atmosphere that pervades state
fairs is as wholesome as that which
surrounds any of our national institu-
tions, and it has always been wrong
to vitiate it by the clinical features of
a freak show.-Minneapolis Journal

the Wagon that Must Make Good

The best known materials-the labor
of master workmen-the aid of the most
ingenious modern machinery have been
employed to make the Thornhili wagon.
The wheels are made with excessive
care. For the spokes the manufacturers
use the finest hickory-mactine driven
to insure the right dish. The hubs are
of oak, thoroughly seasoned and banded
with double refined sable iron.
The holsters are of the best white oak.
They have an iron plate at top and bot
tom, riveted through and through-mul-
tiplying their strength.
The "Thornhill" has malleable front
hound plate that is braced to the hounds
at all points. This is an exclusive
