Sympathy In Plants.

Plants possess feelings and emotion
similar to human creatures. and 1t
may he found some day they possess
powers Of reasoning.
Plants which have been occupying q
large sunny window become attached
to each other, and 1t very frequently
happens that when separated they be-
come sick and finally die. A begonia
becomes very much attached to q

Plants seem to be aware Of each
others presence. even In the garden.
1t is difficult to say how far such
things really go in plant life, and It

interest In as we observe the curious
things In nature.

Fortune Telling In Germany.

Very curious forms Of divinatiOn are
practiced in Germany. The methods
of forecasting the future vary, OF
course. in different localities. In many
parts Of Germany for instance. a girl
who is desirous of knowing the voca-
ton Of her future lover is told to
listen to the singing of large kettle.
With more or less accuracy the trade
or occupation is determined according
to the various tones.
A popular German amusement is the
telling Of fortunes by means Of wal
nut shells. Good or ill-luck is fore
told according to their movements in
a bowl of water. Casting lead Is an
other amusement to which the Ger
man devotes himself. The molten mat
ter is poured into a basin Of cold
water after being placed over spirit
lamp. In tracing the various shapes
assumed by the lead great amusement
is afforded. For they are all presumed.
by the way, to be symbolic as regards
the future.

Truly has it been said that life
gives us what we earn. If we look
for trouble we find it. If we look
for success we find it. If we work
we prosper. If we loaf we do not
prosper. It's mostly up to the in
dividual. The good luck that
comes to some people is mostly
earned-It seldom is really good
luck. And bad luck is in most
cases the name for failure to
make good. Life gives us what

advocated in Denver or years. 1t
IS bound to prove a good paying
enterprise, Notwithstanding the
action of the A. S. & R. Co., in
closing down the Globe plant on
the pretext that it does not pay a
profit. We were talking with a
man Monday who was connected
with a two-furnace smelter for
years and one who is an authority
on the subject, and he told us that
good profit can be made where
plant can receive enough ore to
keep two furnaces in operation.
The trouble he said with the A.
s. & R. and their Globe plant is
that the company feels if it can
abandon the Globe smelter and
thus divert all ores of the north
-ern Colorado mining counties to
Pueblo. of course, their earnings
would be much greater. Here is
an instance where government
control would work to great ad-
vantage. A fair profit could be
fixed and corporation would
have to accept that and continue
