At one of the recent chureb fairs they had ar. imported fortune teller. Her booth was titted up in compliance with oriental suggestions, her supers turned up at the toes, her features were tinted to a rich, light brow®, and her jewels had their most striking fea­ ture in their size, Among her patrons was a tail, dark and distinguished looking man who extended his aristo­ cratic hand without a word. She drop­ ped her luminous eyes after one look at his face and began reading the lines of fate. "You should complete your college course," she began. "You have learned much, but it is in conuection with the speculative and doubtful. There is a brilliant future for you, provided you will concentrate your forces and dis­ play a proper tenacity of purpose. You are not convincing enough for a law­ yer, you could never keep the secrets of the medical profession, and yott lack the application requisite to suc­ cess In the business world." "How about the ministry?" ^Absurd! You are so cynical and so insistent upon following the lead of pnre reason that you have no religion." Next afternoon the fortune teller was entertained at the parsonage. In the smiling host she encountered the man whom she had barred from the profes­ sions and from business. She learned from the talk about her that he is do* ing a grand work in the pulpit, but a bright woman Is never without ^n ex­ cuse. "I changed you nothing," she laugh­ ed. and no other reference was made to the matter.--Detroit Free Unreaaonafele. "Move forward, there!" It was the hoarse voice .of the con­ ductor.

This is aw every-day function, prepared for and enjoyed by the family as a matter of coarse, and shared with friends who happen to drop in, people knowing that five o'clock is a convenient hoar for finding their intimate acquaintances at home and at leisure. Over the tea­ cups friends may enjoy the latest gossip, ch|t£ about a play or a programme, dis­ cuss whatever is uppermost in popular regard, and, having touched hands in the game, separate and go on, the bet­ ter for the contact Nothing can be imagined more infor­ mal. less exacting, than the ideal after­ noon tea. It may be poured by the mis­ tress of the house or by her daughter, and handed about by a child, or a man who has dropped in, or, if preferred, by a white-capped and white-aproned maid, whose black frock is set off by linen cuffs and collar. The tea itself may be a blend of Oolong and Souchong with a dash of orange pekoe, it may be the straw-colored infusion of Japan, it may be the pungent brew of India, or the soft and smoothly fragrant tea of Cey­ lon. In every case it must be freshly made, with water freshly boiled, poured over the tea leaves and allowed to steep two minutes and no more. A tea cosey to keep the pot hot, a spirit lamp under the copper kettle, sugar in even lamps, cream or sliced lemon, as preferred, a a pretty girl or two, a gracious matron, and friends who know one another-theet are the requisites for afternoon tea. When salads, creams, confections are added one may have a spread; one may fitly regale her friends at a reception after this liberal fashion, bnt she has then passed quite out of the realm of afternoon tea into one of much more splendor and state, and much teas home­ ly fun and easeful pleasure. RULES FOE EMPLOYERS fWe hear so often of 'roles "for em­ ployees' that th^re is another side to this question, too often lost sight of, says the 'Caterer.' A correspondent has formulated a set of rules for employers, which, if carried out, particulary with the female help, would tend to make things domestic run along much more smoothly than they usually do: Run your household on business prin ciples. Servants should have regular hoars of service daily. Complete freedom after work is done. Do not be too pretentious with only one maid-of - all - work. One afternoon and evening out each week. Clean, wholesome bedroom; substan­ tial food. Social privileges within reasonable dia* cretion. If yon have a young, good-looking ca pable servant she probably wants a has band some day. Do not drive her into the street to get courted. Avoid interference with religions -and private life. Do not permit familiarity from the baker's, grocer's and batcher's boys. -Insist on respectful treatment to your servant and set them the example. Avoid personal supervision while off duty. Do not let shipehod, careless work go unnoticed. ̂ ORANGE BO0 ' A raw egg is very condensed nourish­ ment and is strongly advised for people who need building up, and yet have lit­ tle appetite.

Every house- will Ittoa to err on the right side, Ihd siie will find that it is really a sim- pla thing to cook the breakfast cereal over night. Put the double boiler of breakfast food on the back of the range when preparations for the evening meal are begun. By bedtime, when the kitch­ en fire goes out, it will have had a long softening, and in the morning it will really not need to be cooked, only warm­ ed, In the winter when the fire is not apt to die oat until late in the night, the dish is left standing all night on the range. A single trial of the plan will satisfactorily demonstrate that the long cooking makes the food more palatable, as it certainly adds the comfortable con­ sciousness that it has probably much in­ creased its wholesomeness. « Mathematical Problem. Yon will remember that in the check­ er-board prize problem the general stipu­ lated with the monarch that a grain of wheat was to be placed on the first square, twice that number on the second square, twice that number on the third square, and so on, doubling the number put on each square of the board until all of the sixty-four squares had been used. The following table shows the result, the right-hand double column of figures representing the squares and the left- hand portion of the table showing the number of grains of wheat on each of the squares, as well as the total number of grains; x Gr%t,na°f wheat.

Divide the total nam- ber of grains by this amount and the result (quotient) will be 15,872,286,728,- 091 bushels of wheat in the pile that was required to complete the checker­ board quantity. * So the correct answer to the problem is: 15,372,286,728,091 bushels. Here are some interesting facts re­ garding such an. enormous quantity of wheat: If this wheat were were loaded into box cars of 60,000 pounds capacity (1,000 bushels),it wdlild take 15,372,286,^8 cars to contain it. The length of a car of thi# capacity, inside to inside 6f knuckles, is 36| feet, making about 144 cars to the mile, Assuming that the distance around the earth at the equator id $6,000 miles, 8,600,000 cars would reach around the earth; or the cars con­ taining the wheat would reach 4,270 times around the earth. If this train were run to the sun, a distance of, say, 98,000,000 miles, when the first car reached the sun the train would still 60S bel^a strousd the left over. If storage room for all this wheat were required in one grain warehouse, whose liase covered the present site of Chicago (187 square miles), the roof would be tweiv* times aa high as the Masonic Temple, One more illustration: The wheat OTOjp of the world for 1899 is estimated by the United States department of agriculture to be 2,907,000,000 bushels. At this rate it would take the world 5,288 years to grow the amount of wheat required by the general, a sum#the combined crops of the world since we have had history has never reached. So it is plain that the monarch could never keep the promise that he made to the general, in spite of the fact that he thought the general's request absurdly wmUl in the beginning.
