TO FORETELL FUTURE USE OF WHITE OF EGG IS RECOMMENDED. 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 wisdom of prophetic insight. Yet it is one of the most interesting, and easy to perform—though, of course, like ail methods of the kind, some skill and practice are necessary in order to interpret quickly and speedily the symbolic interpretations of the signs presented, writes Prof. Sothnos Lalillier in the New York American. In order to practice this part of cabalistic interpretation, you must procure a fresh egg—as new-laid as possible—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, a drop at a time. Now place this glass carefully aside for 24 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 lias congealed 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; straight lines, on the contrary, denoting peace, long life, prosperity and happiness. Squares denote peace and happiness; a ring, marriage. If a letter can bo 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 carefully before accepting this person, even if he offers marriage. If a leaf is seen, speedy good fortune will come your way from some unexpected source. If an anchor is seen, fidelity in love is indicated. If 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 happiness, 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 receive. The sun, moon or stars denote happiness and success. The Freaks Must Go. The secretary of the Minnesota state fair is authority for the statement that the "freak” show and the sensational side show will not have place in the state fairs of 1915. This form of entertainment 13 to be replaced by educational exhibitions, the step having been decided on by the American Association of Fairs and Expositions in convention at Chicago It will be a great relief if the minds of children are not to be abnormally stimulated by these morbid, not to say revolting, sights. The idea that the poor monstrosities of nature should be exploited by means of their deformities is repulsive and productive of no good. The practice of allowing fakers to grow fat off proceeds from "showing" these unfortunates is a species of barbarism. The atmosphere that pervades state fairs is as wholesome as that which surrounds any of our national institutions, and it has always been a wrong to vitiate it by the clinical features of a freak show’. —Minneapolis Journal. A Quaint Idea. A new idea was introduced in the display of the wedding gifts at a recent New York wedding—the reproduction, namely, in exquisite miniature, of the gifts that were too huge to be displayed on the black oak tables in the hall. Thus one of the gifts was an old English manor house. Reproduced to the last detail in a two-foot model, the gray manor house of the sixteenth century struck, amongst the pearls ana chiseled silver, an exceedingly picturesque note. Another gift was a very low gray torpedo touring car of sixty horsepower. The model, a perfect one, set on a gold-mounted dressing case, made all the guests's mouths water. The bride's brother's gift w’as a riding horse, an Irish hunter. The model was done in clay by a girl sculptor There were several other gifts also reproduced in miniature, among them a motor boat and a biplane. Like a “Jack” Johnson.” Irvin S. Ccbb, the correspondent and author, was talking in Philadelphia about the German "Jack Johnsons.” those ' adly shells which explode with a tremendous discharge of greasy black smoke. “These shells." said Mr. Cobb, “are to ordinary shells, as a bucking horse of the plains is to a park hack “A tenderfoot once mounted a bucker in Tin Can. He was hardly on before he waq off again—off over the bucket's head. “ ‘What’s the matter?’ said Threefinger Hoover. “ ‘Why. she bucked, said tbe tenderfoot. " Bucked?’ said Three-finger. ‘Bucked? Go on! She only coughed.’”

NOT GLAD TIME FOR WHALES Resemblance to a Submarine Already Is Known to Have Meant Death to One. “In the North sea lived a whale.” That was long ago. Olivette la Audi an's long popular operetta told about the luckless end of that marine mammal in melodious fashion. That whale met a torpedo, and, mistaking it for another and undesirable fish of strange 1 shape, gave it battle with dire results. Now from the same region we have authentic information of a whale which was mistaken, not by another whale, but by a warship, for a submarine I boat. The body of that whale has been cast up on the Dutch coast full of holes made by three-inch shells. Perhaps a whale resembles a submarine more closely than it resembles a tor- { pedo. There are architectural differI ences, to be sure, which would be . I noted except in moments of extreme excitement. On and near the North sea today, however, there is a great deal of excitement, and this doubtless perfectly neutral creature has suffered in consequence of it. There is no evidence that this whale, like his predecessor, "loved to swagger and bully,” or that “the ladies loved him so.” Not being in comic opera, he, or she, presumably had no characteristics unusual to the whales of sober natural history. No record of the incident except the stranding of the mortal remnant exists. One who would describe tlie encounter must use his imagination. A Kipling or a Bullen might be moved to splendid utterance by contemplation of this tragedy, but in a daily newspaper we must stick to facts, and the ascertained facts in this case are scant. NOT THE DESIRED HAVEN Place Described Filled the Bill in Some Respects, But Also Had Its Disadvantages. “Well, brothers,” said the jmber visaged man, rising in their midst, “this is my first attendance, but I am a Socialist almost by nature, and 1 think I can understand, from the previous speakers, what you want. In the first place, you want a realm where everyone has to be good by law.” “We do, we do!” cried half a dozen long-haired young men in turned-dftwn collars. The speaker continued. "Where food and clothing give no trouble, and money does not exist.” “That’s it! That's what we want.” “Where everyone goes to worship on Sunday, and regular hours are kept, week in, week out.” “Yes, that’s it.” “Well, I myself have just come from such a place.” "Where? What’s it called?” "It’s a place called prison,” he said, and resumed his seat.—London TitBits. Soissons. Seissen?, whose ruined cathedral now takes rank with Reims, has a religious and a military history unparalleled among French towns. More than one great abbey took root in the town, but the greatest of all was that ot St. Medard. whose abbot, in the thirteenth century, lorded it over 220 villages, with innumerable manors and vassals. St. Medard drew in 1530 over 300,000 pilgrims to the famous shrine. One or two of the early kings of France are buried in what remains of the crypt of the old abbey. Every war that France has suffered from has visited Soissons with intense severity, sacking and bombardment following fast and following faster. A century ago, in 1814, the town was twice captured by the allies and retaken by the French, to become, in the following year, a cockpit for the contending armies. Worked Both Ways. A story is told by President Poincare of an old peasant who was very superstitious. A neighbor said to him one day: “That potato you gave me to carry in my pocket as a cure for rheumatism has had a wonderful effect. I haven't had a twinge since you gave it to me.” “There!” exclaimed the peasant, triumphantly, “I told you a potato car ried in the pocket was a cure for rheumatism. and you wouldn’t believe me.” . “Yes," the other admitted, “and the really strange thing is that it must have been exercising its influence on me before you gave it to me, for I never had a twinge before 1 began carrying it.” Crystal Palace. The Crystal palace, which is to be closed in order to provide quarters for 10,000 recruits, is not without other connection with the war. Had there been no Krupps, there might have beer, no war, and the palace helped to make the great gun firm famous. The Krupp establishment at Essen was quite a small affair until a two-ton ingot of cast steel shown by the enterprising Alfred Krupp at the great exhibition of 1851 attracted shoals of orders, and led to almost fabulous prosperity.—London Chronicle. Dread Year of the Tiger. The Year of the Tiger—l9l4 was so called in the Japanese calendar—forboded calamity in the prophecies of that people. The Japan Chronicle notes that the ancient superstition is confirmed by the European war, beside which the volcanic eruption at Kagoshima was of trilling cousequence. _
