" "You must hold the tea-cup aloft and twirl it three times in order to bring the tca-grouuds into a fortune-telling shape. " Oh , It Is a case of "Well-shaken Before taken , " "Is it ? " "Yes , a fortune that only covered the bottom of thu tea-cup would bo a very interesting one. " Jtead mo my cup of tea , Sybil of fate ; Tell what It holds for mo Of love or hate. "This , " said the sybil describing a cir cle in the bottom of thu cup , "Is the course of true love and It runs smooth ; this triangle of black specks Is a wish. Tills black square is a letter ; this Hook of birds means good news. Hero are money and a surprise. " "What is that thing in the side of the CUD ? " "That is an anchor of tea-leaves- is the symbol of hope. " "Hero is a visitor in uiy cup , " cries one. one."Bito it : if it is hard , it is a man. If It is soft , it is a lady. " The long tea-Joint is fished out and proves to bo soft , so the guest will bo .a lady. The giftnd'membor of a company who can read the tea-cups linds her hands full. No guest is so dljjnilied that she docs not evince some cuiiosity as to Sometimes the mildest-man her future. - nered ono finds a gallows in the mystical dregs. When the leaves have no shapebut are massed in u dark pyramid , it is a "bad future. " Occasionally the distinct shape of a coffin can bo traced. Then an en trancing shudder runs through the entire group. The plot thickens ! The interest deepens. The tea leaves become impor tant factors m the happiness of a house hold. Exports in forecasting events find rare tilings in the geometric lines of tea ground ) ) , and it has become the fashion at tea gatherings to read aloud each cup in turn , some ladies oven declining to leave the table until the cup is read. It is not as sociable a social custom as palmistry. A man who despises the tat tling of a tea cup lias no aversion to hav ing his hand hold by a pretty girl while the lines are read. But as men are not as a rule given to tea drinking , they will not grope after futurity in the tea leaves. But the tea-cup oracle is a verv harm less , inexpensive form of destiny. Its present popularity is doubtless owing to that secret craving after the superna tural which marks the ago. It gives ex pression to almost a despairing wish to see into the coming to-morrow. And in response to this demand come the soothsayers ! astrologers , seers , clair voyants , seventh daughters of seventh daughters , and others who predict fu ture events. There are secret sessions where the flower and chivalry of the best societv attend , paying a fee that ranges from $1 to $3 just from curiosity , you know. What to learn ? The secrets of the past , present , or future. There is always some lucky hit lucky for the fortune teller. The most of people who have lived to any ago have friends coming from a dis tance. Many have relatives who die and leave them fortunes. Young people are usually in love with some ono of the op posite sex who is either dark or fair , and a jpnrnoy is imminent in nearly all con ditions. Crossing the water may mean going over a ferry or a running brook , as well as an ocean. But the mystic quality lies in the fact that the person tolling all these things is an announced seer born with a caul , like David Copporticld , and having intimate - mate relations with the world of futurity and the powers of mystery. No matter how ignorant of the civiliz ing intluenccs of his life the inspired fortuneteller tune-toller may bo , how cheaply gotten up , or with what sordid circumstances environed , professors of all the sciences are willing to kneel at her feet to learn the secrets of the past , present and future , from her occult knowledge. A now mythology would be a boon to society in its present condition when everybody is looking for a sign. The crowing of the cock was an. omen of ill to Peter. It heralds a visitor in these days as well as a change iu the weather. If you drop the scissors , a fork or a pen , and the point sticks iu the Uoor , some body is coming. If your nose itches you are going to kiss a fool. If your loft hand tickles you will handle a sum of money. If the right hand , you will shako hands with a friend. If you first see a visitor in tho. looking- glass it Is a sign of misfortune. Two spoons signify a wedding ; tea- suoons are understood ; . But thcso signs of necromancy are as old as the doings of Macbcth's witches , whoso weird incantations are practiced to this day. Indeed , a Shake speare fortune-tolling book would not be a bad enterprise. It would give a higher tonu to the soothsayer's art. ! ' It might bo called "Easy Lessons m the Horation Philosophy , " arid servo as a text-book iu supeanatural lore , with a motto by the scond witch : . , By the pricking ot my thumbs , Something wicked this way corner Heavy Life Insurance. New York Mail and Express : It. is a curious fact at least to a majority of people that very wealthy Americans are M a rule quite as anxious to insure their lives for tup benefit of their families as are these citizens whose portion , of the world's goods is small. It - is tho- most positive indication of the feeling of insta bility attaching to riches , and the fear that they may at any moment take unto themselves wings and lly away. . The heaviest life insurance policy known is that of John Wanamaker , the Philadel phia merchant , amounting-to $000,000. J. B. Stetson and Hamilton Disston of the same city carry fSUi.OOO and $500,000 , re spectively. Hon. Chauncey M. Dopow's mind is easy regarding his family's wel fare in case of his death , as ho has a half- ' million policv stowed away. The well known Dr. Hosteller , of Pillsburg , is not altogether confident of his patent medi cines , for ho has a $300,000 policy. Pierre Lonllard carries ono for $350,000 and ( / , M. Pullman of palace car fame , f 100,000. Nearly a dozen well known businessmen of this city have secured themselves iu sums quite as largo. Politicians as a rule are uot partial to life insurance. They do not wish to bo obliged to die to win. Senator Farwell of Illinois , however , carries a policy for 1233,000 ; Senator MoPhorson is insured for 1110,000 , and Don Cameron for $100,000. Senator John Sherman is also heavily insured. Editors seem to take as kindly to lifo insurance asy the do to good clothes and religion. Royal M. Pulsifer the presid ing genius of the Boston Herald , leads thu list , carrying life policies to the amount of $250,000- , Charles A. Dana is insured for $120,000 ; Gcorgo W. Childs of thu Philadelphia Ledger , for $100,000 ; Benjamin Wood of the New York Dally News for $35.000 ; William Bross of the Chicago Tribune for $70,000 ; W. W. Harding of the Philadelphia Inquirer for $00,000 ; Horace White of the Evening Post for 150,000 ; aud Morton McMichael of the Philadelphia North American for the same amount , while Stllson Hutchins of the Washington Post carries a policy of $30,000. Lawrence Barrett is probably the heav iest insured among the actors. Ho is in sured for $120,000. RflT. DeWltt Tal- carries a policy of $00,000.

HE WA8 A CAT-BIRD. Dutllo Has Flown Leaving Only the AVhirrlni ; of Illn Wings. His nnmo was James II. Martin. Ho \vasayoungman , and rather "fresh , " hU friends cluini , but freshness is too Inexpressive a term to describe him. He was only twenty-one years of ace. Ho had been in the city but three months. . Ho came hero from Detroit. Ho obtained a position In the real estate olllco of Tlios. Brunnan. Ho held the no- sition until Friday last , or , to bu more correct , until last Thursday night , at which time , ho is known to have bidden an inamorata a long farewell. The sup position is that , at the same timu , ho bade a figurative adieu to the city of the lingering friends who knew him not vnry long but too well. At all events the Friday morning train Is supposed to have borne him away to Denver. But it did not bear away receipts of well known people to whom ho was indebted for sundry favors. These favors were of a monetary nature. They were friendly loans , negotiated on the spot , and based upon the promise to pay of a young mail who was in ( lib cm- ploy of a gentleman whom the loaners respected. The llrst man caught WHS Mr. Brennan himself. He mourns the fresh ness of ttio young man to the extent of $55. C. J. Smyth longs for him to the amount of $09. With this latter gentle man Mr. Martin roomed when ho was at home. And it is reported that on such occasions his conduct was most exem plary. And It was rewarded by $ OS worth of confidence. Smyth has a silk umbrella to show for his money , but it is known that Major McMulion has an order on the landlady from Mr. Martin for the same article. Major McMahon gave Mr. Martin $23 and still misses It from his wallet. Harry Hough of George Duncan's is $3 in the hole , Cap O'Douohoo's expense ac count has been charged with $7 , with n private mark meaning Mar tin attached. A young gentleman in an educational institution in this city , in whoso company Mr. Martin slept oft' his swelled heads , after nights of debauch , counts up $115 which have disappeared with the youngaiian and his "chronic" headaches. DenhiA Cunningham has abandoned his nttcihipts to regain $25 which he advauco'd 'young ' Mr. Martin on the misrepresentation that ho was a "cousin of Tom Bjcnnan's. " Pat Duffy , the grocer , lias a bill of $25 against the same young num , , ' * which is not for gro ceries either. ' J " * It would take too much to describe the tricks , expedients , , ! misrepresentations and subterfuges' ; r.esorlod to by this young gontlcuianrln scouring these sums.

PLANS. Tbo Board of Education Finding Fanlt with Architect Ellis. A special mooting of the board of edu cation was hold last night at the board rooms , at which all of the members wcro present , The object of the meeting was to receive a report of the committee appointed to examine the plans for the proposed now school building. Mr. Davis reported that the committee had not had a meeting for the reason that Architect Ellis , who was awarded the plans for the sixtcon-room building on the high school grounds , had failed to provide the committee with a copy of his plans botoro the bids wore opened. He stated , however , that ho had examined Mr. Ellis' plans , and was convinced that the building could not bo constructed under the laws of the city according to Mr. El lis' spccilications. The plans , ho stated. 191 the sixteen room building provided for walls only twelve inches thick while the city building ordinance requires that for such a building the walls on the lirst story must bo at least sixteen inches. The floors too , ho said , had been found too light for the purpose for which the building is to bo used. Mr. Davis moved that all ot the bids for the sixteen room building according to Mr. Ellis' plans bo rejected. Mr. Clark thought that such an action would bo an injustice to Mr. Ellis and that action should bo postponed until Mr. Ellis could bo given an opportunity to state his side of the case. Mr. Coburn stated that the building inspector specter had informed him that whilu the building , if constructed accord ing to Mr. Ellis' plans , would bo safe , it would be bettor if the walls for the first story wore seventeen inches or more thick. ' Mr. Conoyer said that Mr. Ellis , when ho submitted his plans , had said that the outside walls would bo twenty-inch walls. If he had shut out other archi tects by cutting down his walls to come within the $35,000 limit Mr. Conoyer thouerht Mr. Davis' motion should prevail and that all of the architects should bo given another chance at the building. Mr. Coburu was opposed to the erec tion of a sixtcon-room building on the high school grounds. A larger building is needed. He hoped the present plans would bo rejected and plans adopted for at least a twenty-four-room building. After considerable discussion the mat- torvas referred toh special committee , consisting of Me. ' srs. Davis , Livesoy , Conoyer , Clark am Coburn , with power to act. The report of the pommittoo on school sites , rocomraendii : the purchase of tax lot 33 for $34,000 , or the I/ard street school , was adoptciT,1 and the secretary Instructed to advertise for bids for the present Izard strcoitsphool property. DOCTOnS 1DEBATE. . Second Days' Sessjop of the Western Jloinw > | atti9. At 0.80 yosterdavimprning the western academy of homeqjtaUiists met for the second days'Session-at the Y. M. C. A. hall with a much larger attendance than on the preceding day. The principal businos of the morning session was the reading of a very exhaustive and inter esting paper on vaccination by Dr. Craw ford , of Cincinnati. The paper and its general discussion occupied the greater portion of the morning meeting. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon the academy mot again. On the president's desk wcro beautiful ami fragrant boqucts , presented by several of the lirms who have exhibits in-the building. A paper was read by ir. ) Hart , of Denver , on oxytropsis lamborti , a now remedy ; the use of hydrogen peroxide in iullammation of the osccor- vix , by Dr. Cowporthwaitc , of Iowa City. The papers were discussed by Dr. Tudnam , of Chicago , nnd Dr..Parsons , of St. Louis. Dr. Parsons also read a paper on the surgery of the hypotrophicd prostate. Dr. Pratt , of Cluchago , addressed the body on orill- cial surgery. Discussion followed by Dr. Stringer. Dr. McAfee ami Dr. Par sons. The discussion was heated. Dr. Pratt and Dr. Parsons grow quite warm at ouo point and for a moment threat ened a storm more serious than that in progress outside. But the cloud passed with the clearing skies and the physi cians shook hands at the close of the dis cussion. The point of dlti'orenco was in stretching a rectal sphincter. "Did you stretch the rectum ? " asked Dr. Pratt , in response to Dr. Parsons , as ho shook a loaiipoucil at the dissenting physician. "And cut the pocket out ? " IA nod of assent. ) "And closed it properly ? " ( An other nod. ] 'And found no bonollcial re sults ! " [ A shako of the head. ] "Then , sir. " said Dr. Pratt as his eye Unshod and his cliolor rose , "then , sir. you are the only man in the world who can relate such an experience , " said Dr. Pratt , closing his sentence in a tot.o greatly modulated. Papers followed by Drs. Campbell , Allen and Forest , on ophthalmology and otology.

Millocckcr's Prottr Opera , "Tho HCR- Knr Student , " nt lloy r . For the llrst time , Millocckcr' ; ! charm ing opera , "Tho Beggar .Student , " se cured n representation last night , in the opera house. The rendition was by Am- burg's Thalia company , of New York. The libretto was in Gorman. To this fact , possibly , may bo a crlbcd the me dium-sized audience which witnessed the production. Of that audience , it must bo said , the greater number were Germans. Just why hundreds will Hook to hear opera in Italian and at fancy prices , while but a few can DO In duced to listed to thu same in the Ger man tongue and at reasonable prices of admission , cannot bu readily understood. It certainly can not bo explained by the fanciful distinction that the Italian tongue Is best adapted to vocal music , because the few who are capable of not ing the distinction would uwako but n small ( iguro among the puoplo who talk about the softness of the Italian notes. The fact Is that music is music whether tin ) moans of producing it bo English , German or Italian. Last night , the stage was held by Germans. What those lovers of music missed can bo appreci ated only by those who were present. In many respects , the performance has not been excelled by any operatic performance - anco give hero this year. The soloists were excellent , the chorus well-trained and powerful. Miss Oflonoy as "Laura" scored a vocal and dramatic success , and made man ) ' friends also by her disposi tion to please. Mr. Kudolph Sinnhold.as thu leading student , acted with spirit and , in all save the prison duct , where it scorned that his voice lost some of its sweeter tones , did admirable work. Mr. Motsch made a humorous governor. It is to bo regretted that another night can not bo had with this company. S1LKNT AGTOItt.

The work of removing the police head quarters to the exposition annex was completed yesterday afternoon. The basement of the annex answers the pur pose for which it is used very nicely. Under the direction of Building Inspector Whitlock the place has been painted up and partitioned so that it is convenient and as attractive as jails can well bo.

On the west side of the building along the walls the cells for the prisoners have been located. These arc four in number.

The police court room is located in the northeast corner of the building and is joined on the south by the jailers room. The entire apartment is clean , cool and well lighted , and is a great improvement in every respect over the old quarters.
