Fortune Telling In Olden Days.
Nowadays girls go to fortune
teller with strange names shiny
fascinating eyes and wlerd studios,
when they want a peep into the fu
ture. In gitind mother's day the
mystery of to-morrow was read In
much more simple ways. One
popular way was to learn which of
two sweethearts was to be the final
choice was to plant three sprigs of
some rapid growing plant, one
named for the girl and the other
two for each of her two favorite
beaus. 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.
If the two beau twigs were blown
away and she remained on the bench,
it meant that she would marry, but
not one of those two.
In the winter when there were
no buds and all the ground was
white with snow the girls used to
be eo anxlouh to know their for
tunes that they would creep down In
the big cellar and hide three onions
on a shelf. They named each onion,
and the one that sprouted first was
the man they were to marry.
Properties of Gold.
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.

say never will be made again. This year several maga
