FORTUNE OLD art
Delvlng Into the Future by the Aid Of
Tea-LeaVes Survival Of Ancient
Superstition.

To tell fortune by tea-leaves, you
turn your cup upside down in the sau.
Ger and whlrl 1t around three times
after drinking your tea. Turn the cup
again and examine the Heterogeneous
cllnging to bottom and sides. Then you
can read your future In what the
leaves look like. OF course you can't
count on 1t being true, but you can
get some harmless fun out of 1t. There
were many other old superstltions.
In Egypt, bowl or cup was filled with
water and boy gazed into 1t until he
became hypnotlzed and saw things"
The magician interpreted what the boy
thought he saw. The strolllng magl-
clans of North Africa perform the
same trick today by means Of a drop
Of ink in boys hand. When Joseph
sent his messengers to find his silver
cup In Benjamin's sack, he instructed
them to say: us not this my lords
cup In which my lord drlnketh and
wherein he dlvineth? Hence the mys-
tic qualities of the cup Ceromancy
consisted of dropping melted wax into
water and dlvining by the forms the
wax assumed In cooling. 1t Is a very
old art, but tea was only introduced
into Europe in the Seventeenth cen
fury; yet the primitive mind still sub
slsting in man at once seized upon the
fairgrounds as a means Of foretelling
the future, as that same mind had
seized upon the melted wax thousands
of years before.

GLOVE BY NO MEANS MODERN
lite Use Can Be Traced With unerrlng
Accuracy Back to the Most Re-
mote Times.

The origin Of the glove dates back
to remote antiquity, There Is reason
to believe that the ancient Persians
wore them, since it Is mentioned In the
"Cyropoedla" Of XenophOn that on one
occasion Cyrus went without his
gloves. It is also known that some
kind of protective coverings for the
hands were used by the Romans in GER
tain kinds Of manual labor and In bat
tie. The English scholar, Dawklns,
discovered on bone dating from pre-
historic days a design which ne
claimed to be picture Of a glove On
the monuments of the Pharaohs In
Egypt there are represented among
the tributes paid by subjected people
gloves Of the shape Of the long suede
worn by modern women.
Homer speaks of the gloves worn
by the ancient Greeks In garden toll,
and, though crude mitten may be
meant, 1t is also thought that the an
clients knew the fingered glove. Gloves
OF the ancients corresponded In color
With their foot coverings. The sandalA
and bootlike stockings were generally
white or pink. Mittens are among the
dress accessories found with mummies
of prlestesses dating from the 21st
dynasty of Egypt. They were OF the
same material as the upper garment.

Birds, Nests NourIshIna Food.

On Tawl-Tawl island Of the Sulu
archipelago live colonies Of the little
swalIowlIke swifts that make the edl-
BILE birds nests, so beloved Of the Chi
nese. These birds have some sort Of
glands in their jaws that secrete n
thick glue which they stick up against
the wall as swallow does mud, and
the nest when completed looks like
white glass, but Is very light.
They are sold to the traders for
their weight I'm Mexican silver, and It
takes IT nests to balance a dollar
They are supposed to be extremely
nourlshlng and the broth is in demand
for invallds.
After the "first chop" nests are col
lected the birds begin at once the con
struction Of the second chop but these
are worth only about one-half the first
chop. When these are knocked down
the birds resort to moss with only
enough glue to hold It together. These
are allowed to remain and in them
they raise their broods.

TIb.tan Wool Market.

At Patseo in the wllds Of Tibet Ia
held the wool market to which come
annually the merchants from the rich
plains of India. The Tibetans barter
the fleeces of their focks for the rice,
tea and cotton with which the pack
mules Of the traders are laden. The
wool Of the Tibetan sheep is in much
demand, but as the animals cannot live
below 10000 feet, prospective pur-
chasers are obliged to climb the rocky
sleeps into the very heart Of the Hlma-
layas. The market opens about the
middle of July when herdsmen and
merchants pitch their respective camps
in high valley 1900 feet above sea
level. The sheep are shorn on the spot
and emerge looking incredibly slim
and forlorn, from mass of wool which
lies on the ground like a buffalo robe,
When the market Is made, the fieeces
are wound about with ropes and
pressed into as small compass as pos
sible. They are then loaded upon the
pack-animals, and masters and mules
turn their bseks upon the lnhospitable
hills, well pleased to begin the descent
toward their native plains.
