XJWfJl1 we will call "Cof-
F-l w \ \ fee Carrie , " says
( fZsis m the New York Tel"
ll fer * egram.
v j i ! © > She calls herself
f a "clairvoyant , "
( tag ) but to escape any
cj objectionable atten
tions from the po
lice she only professes to sell coffee ,
and she throws a peep into the future ,
as make-weight , into the bargain. At
"Coffee Carrie's" establishment a good ,
serviceable future may be secured for
the modest sum of 50 cents. Long life ,
happiness and success in business are
guaranteed for SI. True love is the
most costly article at "Coffee Carrie's"
fate factory , for to insure this , accord
ing to that clever lady , the "planets"
have to be "ruled , " and it is an ex
pensive and difficult job interfering
with the fixed habits of the universe.
When I visited "Coffee Carrie" I ex
plained that I did not want her to up
set the whole scheme of nature on my
behalf ; I only just wanted to know all
about everything that was going to hap
pen to me during my future life. That
was all. "When I was ushered into the
"waiting room" of "Coffee Carrie's"
den I found a few other clients for cof
fee and clairvoyance sitting on hard
wooden chairs and looking very uncom
fortable. They might have been den
tist's patients about to undergo a pain
ful operation. All appeared to be
working girls except one man , or rath
er male creature , a weak-eyed , knock-
kneed youth , of about twenty , with red
hair , round features , and white whis
kers , one at a time , at intervals of half
an inch , all over his face.
"Next , please , " came in a cracked
voice from the inner room , as a young
girl , exceedingly pretty and well
formed , with the unmistakable halo of
innocence surrounding her very pres
ence , emerged through the open door.
The male thing slid in , and the girl
commenced to tell her waiting friends
the good things that had been promised
her.
her."I
"I shall do it , " she said. "I shall
shake the store this very night. The
wise woman told me I was truly loved
by a dark man , who only wanted my
consent to cover me with diamonds ,
and I am to be a great lady and ride
in my carriage. All I have to do is to
get S10 , so that I can have my planets
ruled. "
• I heard no more , for it was my turn
to face "Coffee Carrie. " It was a sul
try night , but "the sorceress sat in a
great arm chair beside a hot stove and
behind a little table , on both of which
were articles pertaining to the brewing
and drinking of coffee. Carrie could
lay no claim to beauty. Eyes and teeth
she had but one of each. Her hair was
unkempt and matted , flowing disorder
ly over her wrinkled neck and face. Her
hands were wonderfully ugly , long ,
thin and withered ; never still , but in
cessantly twitching nervously , and with
nails like the talons of a bird. I drank
some coffee. Such coffee ! She took
the cup , and shook it round and round ,
muttering over it for half a minute ,
and then she held it over the dirty floor
until every drop of liquid dribbled out
of it. Next she brought the cup to the
flickering light of an unsnuffed tallow
candle and peered into it with her sin
gle eye , while screwing her mouth and
puckering up her features into horrible
contortions. She then chuckled , not in
her throat , but somewhere down in the
depths of the arm chair , looked at me ,
and said : "Young man , you were born
to be lucky , while few are lucky to be
born. Your path is strewn with roses
white and red , beneath your tread.
Pluck them while you may. You are
surrounded with stars which -wili rain
blessings on you in the shape of a large
family , but unless your planets are
ruled they will bring your gray hairs
in sorrow to the grave. That will cost
you $5 extra. Wealth will be wafted
you from o'er the sea , but beware of the
green-eyed monster in the shape of a
dark woman. She crosses your path
in the fifth meridian and brings trouble
and a letter in her wake. The woman
you love is with your thoughts , but
trust her not. When Jupiter is behind
a cloud Venus takes her light from
Mars. Your rival is a soldier , and the
coffee is a dollar. Next , please. " I did
not go again to have my "planets
ruled , " and my gray hairs are still
growing , but the little , innocent , fairi
haired girl evidently returned to the
old hag with the necessary $10 , for she
may now be seen nightly around Heri
;
aid square.
The Georgia Girl's Opinion.
A little Georgia school girl was aski
ed ' for a composition on "The Confederate - '
erate Veteran. " A few days thereafter '
she handed in the following : "The • '
Confederate veteran is one that fought 7
and bled and died for his country. He }
is sometimes on one leg and some
times on two. The state gives him
enough pension to keep him in tobac
co. Then the state builds him a home -
and sells the home before he can get ' '
in it. My pa says he is a veteran. He -
was wounded by having one leg sawed 2
off in a Confederate sawmill while J
making coffins to bury soldiers in.
The state don't help my pa much , and
my pa says damn the state ! "

Kcvor Try to Gnaw Their Way Ont of
the CiiKC.
While rambling one evening In thof
woods I sat down on a rock close by a' '
shaded bank all overgrown with soft |
green moss and feathery ferns , says St. ;
Nicholas. Not far away there was an ]
ancient tree stump , with a hole run
ning in undearneath it ; and what
should I see peeping out from the hole
but the head of a little reddish brown
animal. At first sight I took it to be
a chipmunk. Its large black eyes
seemed full of apprehension , and a3 I
moved it drew back out of sight. On
rolling over the stump I discovered be
neath It some withered grass carefully
rolled into a globular nest. Cautiously ,
drawing my handkerchief around this
1 tied it up with whatever it contained
and hurried homewhat with my treas
ure. On emptying the handkerchief
into a box covered with wire gauze I
found that I had captured two beauti
fully delicate and elegant creatures ,
somewhat larger than mice. Their fur
was thick and soft , a rich velvet of
reddish brown on the back and snowy
white beneath. Their feet also were
white. But their chief beauty lay in
their eyes great black , liquid orbs ,
half protruding from the head. No
gazelle ever had eyes half so lovely.
They soon became quite tame and with
out showing any fear would allow mete
to put my hand into their cage to give
theim fruits and berries. They carried
their nest into a corner of the cage
and reconstructed it there. After two
weeks I procured a large cocoanut ,
sawed it in two , and taking one-half of
it made to it a little doorway. When
I put this into their cage , turned mouth
down , they seemed to go wild with the
excitement of delight. In and out they
ran through the little doorway a hun
dred times in succession. Sometimes
they would jump up on top of the co
coanut and survey it all over ; and then ,
after "washing their faces" with
their delicate white paws , jump down
again and run inside. Soon they made
up their minds to take possession of it
as their home. Their nest in the cor
ner they pulled to pieces and carried it
off mouthful by mouthful into the lit
tle cocoanut hut. There they have
lived ever since. During the daytime
they sleep , but when evening comes on
they busy themselves running and
jumping about the cage , and they have
never once in three years tried to gnaw
their way out.
ODD MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.
The Mantzu Are Not a Moral People
Property Iti.hts.
The lamas are consulted to ascertain
if the horoscopes of the youth and
maiden fit. If not the difficulty may be
overcome by prolonged vicarious
chanting of the scriptures and liberal
fees , says the Geographical Journal.
The lamas also choose an auspicious
day for the marriage. The marriage
ceremony consists in the bride and
groom publicly joining hands , drinking
wine from a double-spouted bowl and
accepting each other as husband and
wife , after which there is a three days'
feast in the bride's home. She and her
husband then go to their own house ,
and there is another three days' feast.
There are no contracts of marriage for
a limited period , as in western Thibet.
Whether the choice has been for good
or ill , it is for life ; divorce , rarely re
sorted to , being permissible only in the
case of childlessness , and the contract
can only be canceled by the T'u-ssu.
It would not be correct to infer from
this that the Mantzu are a moral pee
ple. Their standard of morality is low
and the lives of the lamas have no
tendency to raise it. Plurality of wives
is an appendage of the position of the
T'u-ssu , but monogamy is the rule , and
polyandry , though the custom of the
Sifans to the north , does not exist. No
presents , except the bottle of wine pre
viously mentioned , are made by the
bridegroom to the bride's father , but
her parents' according to their wealth ,
endow her with cattle , horses and
fields , the last of which , to use our
own phraseology , are "settled" upon
her. A widow does not wear mourn
ing and is at liberty to make a second
marviage. On the death of her hus
band , unless she remarries , she as
sumes complete control over his prop
erty , and at her death it is divided
among the sons , who frequently , how
ever , agree to live together and keep it
intact. If there is trouble concerning
property , the T'eoren usually settles
the matter , and if he fails to make an
amiable agreement it is referred to the
T'u-ssu , whose decision is final.
The Discovery of planetoids.
Since the application of photography
to stellar charting , the discovery of
planetoids between Mars and Jupiter
has : gone on apace upward of four hun
dred i and forty of these bodies having
been ; recognized as such. Of these M.
Charlois i is to be credited with the dis
covery i of no less than eighty-eight of
them during the year 18D6 , during
which nineteen additions altogether
have been made to the already over
grown list. With telescopes of the
enormous aperture now constructed ,
and with sufficiently prolonged expo
sure , there seems no particular reason
why this number should not ultimately
increase very materially.

A novel proposition was made not long
ago to the Receivers of the Bnltimoro < 5c
Ohio Rnilrond. The B. & O has a branch
running from whntis known as Alexandria
Junction , near Washington , to Shepherd's
on the Potomac River , where a car ferry
is operated in connection with the lines
leading south from the Capitol. A pro
fessor of an eastern college desired to lease
this si ort stretch of track for the purpose
of educating young men in practical rail
road work. In his letter ho explained that
he thought there was a wide field for bright
and energetic boys who could be thorough
ly well grounded in the practical side of
railroading , provided they could bo edu
cated on a regular line of road. Ho be
lieved that by the employment of veteran
railroad inon as teachers that the beys
could profitably spend 2 or II years work
ing as trainmenfiremen.engineers , switch
men , station agents , and in other capaci
ties required in the railroad service. As
this branch of the B. & O. is of considera
ble value the Receivers were compelled to
decline the offer.

me. ! have taken but one bottle of the medicine , and I feel like a new person. I have taken all kinds t f med- H
cine' , but all together did not do mo as much good as the first dose of your " 5 DHOI'S. " I recommended H
your medicine to one of my neighbors and it helped him rixht away. He had been usin medicine- * and doc- H
