July found me in the depart ment of Calvados, Normandy, at a Til lags near Caen, a mine of antiquities. The cure, Fatlier Aloysina, showed me everything which he thought would interest a stranger. As some slight re turn for his kindness I asked him to lunch with me. We went to the hoteL i Very old, with snowy hair and face as ruddy as a pippin of his province, my companion carried sunshine wherever he all, and it was easy to see that all ven- era ted him. 1 "Yes, monsieur, my people know me, " he said in answer to some remark. 'Forty -seven years I have labored among them. It is almost a lifetime. The church has called me often. My friends say I might have been a bishop, but I oould not leave. " A group of men excitedly gesticulat ing stood round the hotel door. They came to meet us hurriedly. "Have you heard, fatlier have you heard?" they cried. "No, my friends," he answered. "What is the news?" 1 Several spoke at once, but this is the gist of what they said: "You know the old castle is sold? To a rich bourgeois yes? The place is tum ble down. He will have it repaired. Pierre Valois and Jean Prudhomme went with their tools this morning to take down some masonry. M. Orous set, the purchaser he was there too. They found a skeleton in the wall " "Sacred name!" cried the priest, white as a corpse. "At Vallon? No. Not a mile away? Impossible P' : "It is true." Father Aloysins turned to me. He shook like a man with the ague. 'Ton will pardon me, monsieur? I ' must go at once. This is a great discov eijsl I will verify it and return. " He hastened away. I lunched alone. It was 4 o'clock when he came back, still pale, and very subdued. 1 "I have been rude," he said. "I crave again a thousand pardons. I could not tear myself away. Forty-seven years I have sought what chance has brought to light today. You shall hear. ' "Forty-seven years ago I came to this village. I had been asked to take charge of it in the absence of the cure. It was my second night here so Bark one could not see one's hand. I was tired. I 'had been visiting the sick. I lay down in my soutane and slept A load knock ing awoke me. I " 'Who is there? I cried. I " 'Friends of the church, ' a voice an swered. i "I opened thedoor. Two men entered, tall and well dressed. I could not see their faces. They wore masks. " 'Are you the cure? said the man who had answered me a foreigner by his accent "I explained. " 'No matter,' he said; 'one priest is as good as another. A man is dying. He wishes to receive absolution. Will you go?' t "I hesitated. 'Will yon explain why " you Wear those masks?' I said. "He laughed. 'It is the simplest thing in the world.

Ah, father, she is beautiful. I loved her. I love her still She return ed my passion. I am only a tradesman, but we were married. Two months of bliss were mine. One day she came to me trembling. "Fly, " 'she said. "Fly at once. " She would not explain. I had my business my little shop, I had done no wrong. I refused. That night she disappeared. Next day I received a note written by her hand. She bade me meet her in the wood at a secluded place known to us both. I went She was not there. It was dark. I called her by name. Two men came up, seized and gagged me, forced me into a car riage and brought me here. I am con demned withont trial My jailers tell me that I must die or a noble name will be dishonored.

I assured him that he would be free in a few hoars. My guide re turned. " 'I have heard your words,' he said. 'You cannot aid him. If I thought you could, you would share bis fate. ' "He took my hand and led me to the carriage, entering with me The coach man whipped his horses. They galloped. I pleaded for the poor man. My com panion was dumb. I threatened him with the law. He answered not a word. I pictured the vengeance of an offended God. He was stone. I vowed to devote my life to the discovery and punish ment of his crime. Still not a word. But I have kept and will keep my vow. A faint gray light was showing in the east when we reached the cure's door. I alighted. A purse was thrust into my hand. The carnage disappeared. Two hours later the gendarmes were scouring the country. They discovered nothing. Seven days I passed visiting chateaux and houses, to no purpose. Then I went to Caen. I found the home of Jules Devonst Both he and his wife were missing. The neighbors described him a very handsome man, incapable of committing a crime. His wife, they told me, was a beautiful woman, with the air of a princess. She spoke French with a foreign accent, dressed in silk and satin and wore valuable jewels. "The gendarmes wearied of the fruit less search, but I did not I made my home here. I succeeded the cure. I mapped out the country and visited ev ery chateau, save one, within a wide ra dius, every large house. Forty-seven years I have sought a clew. Come to the window. I rose. Father Aloysins pointed to the old castle of Vallon, crowning a hill scarcely a mile distant "That is the chateau which I did not visit, " he said. "It is so near, and I traveled many miles that night There the tomb of Jules Davoust was discov ered this morning. I have stood within it It is a hole in the wall six feet high by four wide. The stones behind which the poor wretch spoke to me bulged with the weight above, and the workmen pulled them down. The skeleton fell out In my presence they replaced them. One stone, just the height of my bead, was without mortar. It could have been removed easily. The two paved yards are there, the passage between the walls, tho stone staircase, the big flagged room. I have no doubt at alL If the criminals are living, they shall bo brought to jus tice." . Twelve months afterward I met Fa ther Aloysins in Paris. He had just re turned from Poland. An examination of the papers of the late owner of the chateau had resulted in the discovery that his grandfather had rented tho place to a Polish gentleman who gave the name of Lnbenskt The latter took it for a year, but at the end of si months apprised the proprietor that he no longer needed it "That is all we know," said the cure. "In Poland I learned nothing. Nor have the police Ken more successful. "And the mystery is as far from be ing solved as ever?' "Yes.

THE FUTUBE WOMEN AS PROFESSIONAIi PKOrUETS. Thoy Seem to Have a Monopoly of Foretelling;. Calforaalty of Their Methods Seveatk DaaghMra of Bit th Daaghtars Calldrwa Barm With a "Caar Cap foams aad Card Cattera. Issued by tha Central frees Association of Columbus, Outo. Tb desire to look into the future is as old as humanity, and as widespread as the race. The cultured Greeks had their oracles, the Hebrews had their seers, the Celts had, and still have, people gifted with second sight; the In dian has his medicine man. not the least of whose power is lifting the veil of the future, and Europe has had for 500 years a wandering race of gypsies, CUTTING THE CARDS. whose principal business it has been to tell the fortunes of women, from the palace boudoir down to the kitchen. It is a mistake to suppose that the belief in fortune telling is confined to the ign it cli a. No doubt th servant girl, the 8iior about to make a voyage, or the workingman who finds himself in love, will quietly seek out the fortune teller; but the best be cause the most profitable patrons of the professional prophet are the rich, and principally women, who are jealous of their lovers or doubtful of their hus bands. I have recently seen a collection of papers from all the British colonies, from South Africa, and the principal cities in Europe, aod in each and every one I have found the card of the pro fessional prophet couched in nearly the same language and claiming the same power to lift the veil of the future. The continuance and extent of this business, or industry, or profession, is the best possible evidence that it has been, is aod will continue to be profitable. No matter the place or the language in which these advertisements appear, all have a striking similarity, and, aa in the spiritual medium business, women, all of whom call themselves "Madam" somebody, appear to have a monopoly of the trade, and advertise their special qualifications for the work in a most monotonous and businesslike way. I have before me a number of these cards from different parts of the world, all of which look as if they had been written by the same hand. For example: Un der the general head of "Astrology," in a leading Parisian paper, I read the following: "The celebrated Mme. A., the sev enth daughter of a seventh daughter, tells the past, present and future with Invariable accuracy. Will show pic ture of future husband. Terms, to ladies only, very moderate. Hours, from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m. Ring second bell." The masric number seven seems to be potent with these professional prophets and in the past, as in the present, they teem to attach to the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter certain powers of prophecy that are denied children Dorn in tne usual order, one mignt think the seventh daughter of a seventh doughter a very rare person indeed; but if we are to believe the advertise ments that appear in the papers all the world over, there are thousands of them, all blessed with the srift of prophecy, and all using that gift for their own profit and, presumably, for .i i:v. a. ' .i ; u tua eiuigiibnieub ui buuir many uutmts. In Great Britain and on the continent of Europe certain powers of divination are popularly believed to attach to what is known as a "caul." This "caul" is a sort of animal parchment, some times found over the face and head of a newborn babe. From time immemorial a belief has existed that a child born with this unusual attachment is par ticularly blest and less liable to mis fortune than the rest of humanity. Not only does the caul confer special favors on its original possessor, but it is supposed to carry with it and convey to its owner the power of looking into the future, and is an infallible protec tion against shipwreck and disaster by flood. Formerly, if not at present, sea captains attached so much importance to the possession of a caul that they have been known to pay large sums for one, believing that so long as they had it on their ship no wreck could come to it and none of the crew could be lost by drowning. Whenever an article becomes marketable and there is for it an assured demand, human ingenuity is sure to supplement the deficiencies of nature, like the Yankee with his wooden nutmegs, and so in many of the European ports the manufacture of cauls, from the intestines of animals, became a regular business, and as there was no means of discovering the deceit we may be sure tbat these artificial cauls were quite as effective as those produced in the regular way. Some of the astrologers advertise the possession of a caul as an extra in ducement to their customers. One of these advertisements reads as follows1. "The old and world renowned Mme. G. has in her possession a caul which was carried by Capt Cook in his many voy ages around the world, and to its pos session be attributed the success of his many expeditions. Mme. G. cuts cards with invariable success, and she counts among her patrons tens of thousands of people who live near the sea, or have friends whose business is on or near the water. Ladies and seafaring men only need apply at No. ." But even more potent than the pos session of a caul, or being the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter, are the peculiar prophetic qualities which are believed to attach to the descend ant of a gypsy monarch. By actual count there are in the prophecy busi ness today more than 300 gypsy queens, who announce themselves as the daugh ters of gypsy kings, a fact wbicb goes to wove that gypsy kings are very Dr. Hand's Colic Cere in Ohio.

There is a general belief that the pousoaslon of fypev blood carries with It th gift of prophecy, and aa ia the case of artificial cauls to supply the sailors, I am Inclined to think that the gypsy race are recruited from the rank of outsiders wbo are willing to pose as the daughters of gypsy kings for the take of the revenue there is in it What seduction there is in the fol lowing: "Queen Hester, the only true and genuine gypsy princes in the city, in order to meet the wants of her Increas ing patrons, has moved to No. , on street As a palmist. Queen Hester is unrivaled by any person living or dead. She tells the past without questions, map out the future, gives the names of winning horses in races and the lucky numbers in lotteries. For SO cent ex tra she will show the picture of the man you are to marry." It will be aeen from these advertise ments that the different nations' ties have varying methods of divination. The gypsies believe in palmistry, and while reading the hand they watch tha face, and being excellent students of human nature, they say things that startle their simple clients and add im mensely to the belief in themselves and so to their revenue. The Irish practice a method of divi nation almost peculiar to themselves, known as "cup tossing." This consists in putting some tea leaves in a cup and pouring hot water over it after the Chinese method of making that bever age. After these are saturated the fortune teller economically drains off the liquid, leaving enough in the cup to float the leaves. The Irish fortune tellers are invariably old women; in deed, with the Celtic race, age appears to be essential to full possession of the prophetio gift The hag circles the cup around three times to the right, then three times to the left, so diffus ing the leaves over the sides of the vessel; this done, she dexterously turns the cup bottom up, letting whatever lirfuid there may be in the cup drain into a saucer; after a minute or two, during which perfect silence is main tained, she lifts the cup and, from the arrangement of the leaves, she reads the past, present and future of her cli ent If there be a long streak of tea leaves, it means a journey by land; If there is a large open space to which none of the leaves adhere, It signifies a long journey by water; where the leaves are jumbled together in a mass, it Invariably indicates trouble, and where they take a circular form with an open space in the center it is a ring, and a sure sign of the approaching wedding. One of these professional prophets, a Celt, we may be sure, from the name as well as from the method employed, advertises as follows: "Mme, Muldoon. of No. iO street, is the champion cup tosser of the worlds She has never had a rival, and she is sure none will ever appear to dispute pre eminence with her in her chosen field. She uses a tea called 'Buds o' Heaven ly Flowers,' picked by the fingers of the mandarins' daughters, from which she gets the most marvelous results. She never makes a mistake. Her terms are low. If you are in trouble or distress, through love or business, call on her at once and have your mind set at rest" I have said that women have a mo nopoly of the professional prophecy business. There is one department, however, in which men stand pre-eminent; that is in what one advertiser calls "The Magical Mathematical Field of Pure Astrology." "Astrology" Is a generic name applied to the profession aa a whole, but bv reason of i ; aup- THE ASTEOLOGIST. posed knowledge of the higher mathe matics and the fact that most of the women who exercise this calling have only imperfect knowledge of the one language which they speak, the depart ment of astrology proper is given over wholly to men. The astrological meth od of divination is as old as history, and while it is not so generally believed in nor its professors so well paid as they were two hundred years ago, vet the professors of astrology, where they un derstand the business, make a great deal oi money, and nave among their patrons people of intelligence, who look down with contempt on palmists, cup tossers, card cutters, seventh daughters of seventh daughters, and even sneer at the professors of the magic caul. The methods of the as trologer are, and always have been, such as to appeal powerfully to the credulity of the ignorant He is popu larly supposed to Know all about the stars, not only from an astronomical standpoint, but also to be able to read their occult influences on the human race. The astrologist may be said to be the Calvisist of the professional prophets. Given the hour, day and year of birth, he calculates or casts the horoscope of a person, proves the influ ences that direct his life, and show that be is really the creature of an inexora ble fate, from which no effort of his own can free him. The astrologer Is necessarily a fatalist; hope is elimi nated from his methods and responsi bility is cast to the winds. All he can do is to show the good or the bad influ ences that control the life and fortunes of the subject The modern astrolo- gists, however, in order to supply the needs of the market, take care thai there is more good awaiting their cli ents than eviL Like the popular story in the popular melodrama, the popular fortune teller, no matter what troubles he or she may forecast, must in the end reward virtue and punish vice. There are a number of negro voodoos in New York, principally men, and, as might be expected, their methods differ very greatly from those that are popu lar and potent with other races. They believe in charms, the casting of spells, the power to bewitch or bedevil others and their ability to separate or unite lovers. The purpose of the voodoo is not so much to foretell what will hap pen as, through certain occult influ ences, to compel things to happen. By means of incantations and charms com pounded of blood, calcined spiders and toads' tongues and such ingredients as the witches of Macbeth threw into the caldron, they can produce any result their clients want It might be sup posed that the patrons of these "voodoo doctors would be the most ignorant peo ple of their own color, but such is not the case. One of these men, known as Dr. Ross, clears, it it said, over $20,000 a year. His clients are among the most fashionable women in New York, and it is not unusual to see carriages with arms bhuoned on them and liv eried coachmen, drawn un before the oust) ain-ry nine enop in wnicn Be manufacture his charms, and back of which is bis private consultation room. In addition to all these there are ia the city of New York, and th same is tru of London, Paris, Berlin and Vien na, certain men and women whose edu cation and well-bred manners separate them from the great herd of profession al prophets, yet who as surely belong to the irreat arm v of Imnwtnn a aoo doctors.
