What the Tea Leaves Tell.

Do you know how to tell fortunes
in teacup? 1t furnishes a great dea
of entertainment at a party. This
Chinese rhyme explains it:
zone leaf, alone you'll be;
Two together, the priest you'll see.
Three together, your wish will gain;
Four, letter from loving swain.
Five, good news the letter will bring;
Six in row, song you'll sing.
Seven together, good fortune awaits,
So say to you the teacups' fates.
Tea leaves large and tea leaves tall
Bring you company, great and small.
Tea leaves many and scattered fine
Is of bad luck the surest sigu.
Tea leaves few and near the rim,
Your cup of joy o'erflows the brim."

Joseph was requested to stand in a

short space of time negative was
placed in the mothers hand. She
looked at it very. uneasily for some
time, and then remarked:

CONSUMPTION OF WHISKY.

Because the report of the internal
revenue commissioner shows an in
crease in the revenue from distilled
spirits the liquor interests are using
it to bolster up their pet argument,
prohibition does not prohibit"
The reason for this increase is
found, not in the greater consumption
of whisky by the people of the United
States, but in various changing condi-
lions here and abroad. One of these
is set forth by the secretary of the
treasury in the following statement:
Notwithstanding the spread of pro-
hibition, collections on distilled spirits
for the first ten months of the fiscal
year showed an increase over the cor
responding period of year ago. This
is due in great measure to the effec-
tive enforcement of the internal rev.
enue tax on distilled spirits. 1t is
estimated that through the campaigns
of the treasury department against
undergauging, equalizing and blockad-
ing in distilleries, the revenue of the
government has been increased by
pTODdDlv SO,OUU,OUU duludllly.
A further explanation is that the
large quantity of spirits shipped from
this country to Africa to take the
place of the British product now
barred from shipment because of the
European war, is counted in the Gin
creased consumption" During the
year ending June 80, 1915, exports
amounted to 1868, 900 gallons; during
the nine months, July, 1915, to March,
1916, 5,S50000 gallons were exported.
Then again there has been steady
decrease in the supply of imported
liquors due to difficulties of transpor-
tation. Some of the foreign distillers
have opened branches in this country,
and the taxes on their output are now
added to the internal revenue of the
United States.
Other reasons might be given, but
these suffice to show how alert the
liquorites are to seize upon any appar-
ent advantage furnished by figures and
how prone the public is to arrive at
hasty conclusions. 1t is not within
the province of the internal revenue
| department to interpret its report or
to explain where or how the tax-paid
| liquor is actually used.
If the brewers and distillers believe
what they are loudly claiming, that
the internal revenue reports prove
that more liquor is sold under prohibit
ton than under license, we shall find
them this fall lining up with the drys ;
we shall find them during the anti
election campaign working and spend
ing their millions to make six more
states and the territory of Alaska dry.

0 dessert the second, not the following
day. Another attractive rice pudding
may be prepared by packing the rem
nants into a mold and when time to
serve, turn OUT and cover the mold
with sWeeten%& whipped cream and
surround with any fresh, well-sugared
berries in their season, or muskmelon,
cut in dice, sprinkled with sugar, salt
and a bit of nutmeg makes most at
tractiv'e and appetizing combination.
If cottage pudding is served, bake
n layer or two in jelly cake tin and
have 1t with rich filling for Il cake
to serve with little dish Of fruit for
dessert the following day. Or If the
pudding itself is left, drop the pieces
in paper and reheat or steam in a
steamer and serve with u custard
sauce.
Leftover baked custards may be
carefully dipped into sherbet cups,
layer of nuts or fruit between, and
garnish with cooked egg, white or
whipped cream. Cornstarch pudding
or rice may be served in the same way.
Pieces of pie may be each covered
with meringue and Drowned, making
a very pretty dessert.
Apple sauce may be placed in rame-
kins, cover with rich pastry and
bake; serve hot or cold.

BEER WORSE THAN WHISKY.

This is what the Home Life Insur-
ance company of New York has to say
about beer:
"Of all intoxicating drinks, it is the
most animalizing. 1t dulls the intel
lectual and moral and feeds the sens
ual and beastly nature. Beyond all
other drinks, it qualities for DELHI
crate and unprovoked crime. In this
respect it is much worse than distilled
liquors. A whisky drinker will com
nit murder only under the direct ex-
element of liquor, beer drinker is
capable of doing it in cold blood.
Long observation has assured us that
large proportion of murders delib-
erately planned and executed, without
passion or malice, with no other mo-
tive than the acquisition of property
or money, often or trifling value, are
perpetrated by beer drinkers"
