Nowadays girls go to fortune teller with strange names shiny fascinating eyes and wlerd studios, when they want a peep into the fu ture.

The one that grew nearest to her was destined to be her hus band. Another way was to lay three twigs on a bench or shelf. If two of them, one named for the girl and one for one of the beaus blew off, it meant that the two would marry and go away. If only one twig, that of one of the beaus blew away, it meant that the two remain lng would be married. If all three twigs blew off the bench the occur ence was Interpreted to Indicate that the girl would remain an old maid.

Pure gold Is unaffected by the at mosphere either at ordinary tem peratures or when the metal Is heated. It Is also proof against the action of common acids when used singly. Moreover, It confers Its properties more or loss upon copper and stiver whn these metals are alloyed with it. Thus, for oxample, twelve karat go' '. will withstand the action of nitric acid and the atmosphere at ordinary temperature, but some of tho copper will be oxidised during annealing. Nine parts of gold may be alloyed with tenparts of platinum In an ordinary crucible and fire, but such an alloy will not be uniform; a larger proportion of platinum will free Itelf from the solidification and a homogeneous alloy of the two metala cannot be obtained.
