They Attempted to Foretell Men’s Des tiny From the Stare. The almanac, properly so called In Its origin, Is not merely a device for keeping people in mind of the piog rws of the year, it Is an attempt to show what destiny 1ms In store for us as Indicated by the position of the stars In any particular year, and as. according to astrological lore, the des tlnies of men are ruled by the differ eut aspects of the planets, so also the human body Is subject to the Influence of the constellations through which the sun appears to pass In his Y course. A French almanac of 1010 gives a diagram of the human body surrounded by all the signs of the 7,0 dlac and Indicates the various organs and members over which these signs have power, and this for n guide pour les snlgnees, or to show at what peri¬ od blood may be let with safety. But the same almanac also gives directions sensible enough for the avoidance of the plague which would not be found fault with by a modern fashionable physician: body In health Who would keep his And resist the Infection of the P' a S ue ' Let him seek Joy and sadness ny. Avoid places where Infections aboun And cherish Joyous company. A few examples exist of almanacs of this character before the Invention of printing, although none. It Is beheved. earlier than the twelfth century.

In oue of his Ilibbert lectures Max Muller said to the students: “Many of you, I susjioct, carry a halfpenny with a hole lu it for luck. 1 am not asham¬ ed to own that 1 have done so myself for many years.” The case was c-lted by him In his lecture as an illustration of “survivals” from primeval fett h ism, but on his own account Max Mul¬ ler confessed that when sometimes he had left home without this halfpenny talisman he felt “very uncomfortable” until his safe return. Woman the Waitress. “A woman,” remarked the wise widow, “is always waiting for a hus¬ band.” “How do you figure that out?” que¬ ried the Interested spinster. “If she isn’t married,” answered the w. w., “she Is waiting to get one, and If she Is she's waiting for him to come home.”—Chicago News.

Apply to JULIUS MAGATH, Oxford, Ti\ePwor, of (he Hour JP Its Gasoline Engine Power It has supplanted hand-power, wind-power, horse-power and water power on all up-to-date, well managed farms. No other kind of power is to be considered for farm use or gen* eral use. It so far surpasses any other available power that it is only a ques¬ tion of time when it will be in general use. It is less expensive, less troublesome and less dangerous than steam power; so much so, in fact, that gasoline engines are rapidly replacing the steam engine everywhere. THE I. H. C. GASOLINE ENGINE is the most practical engine for farm or general use, because it is designed by experts who know the requirements of a power for this purpose. It has few working parts, which insures its being easily understood. If you are a power user and are in the market for a gasoline engine, call and let us demonstrate to you the many advantages of owning an I. H. C. engine. HENRY T. HUSON, AGENT
