And She Did, Too, But in tl:e Meantime the Fortune Teller Had Iteon Punished. •Seven months ago a gyp.sy fortune teller told a maid in tho employ of a miller in a small l.jwn near Chard, in .Soinei-selshire, England, that sho would «;mo day elope with luin. The maid told Ihe miller, the miller told the po- lice and the gypsy gol a month's hard lalwr at tlie local lockup. A few days ago b'llh tho miller and the maid dusap- p'arod and inve-stiyalion proves that Ihe fortune teller's prediction has been \eriJled. Under the circumstances, that month in jail looks like a hii of injus- tice toward th.- nomad, but she U gel- ling her revenge. Dozens of serving maids in Somersetshire have applied lo tier for a reading and now every day is her busy day. The gypsy goe.s by thi> rather preten- l.ous name of Britannia Man ley and is well known in the neighborlKwd. I) j'ou cross her paim with a .sixpence she will read your pa.st, foretell your lu lure, and give a piece of lace to booL When the fates are to be bought at lliat .small figure it U not strange that the plausible fortune toller HAS .MANY CUSTOMHBS. The home of the miller and the maid wlio havo .so strikingly vuidicaled Ihe claims of Britannia Manley to prophe- tic powers adjoins the mill in the vil- lage of Forton. Waller Ilellier, the mil- kr, has two little children and liis wife U^iiig conlliied In an asylum, lie kept a maid. Iho latter was a pretty girl about seventeen years of age named r!orrio Tylherleigh. .Seven nwnths ago, Britannia came to tlie door and called 'o Florrie wlw was upstairs lending lo bet hoiLsehold duties. When iho girl csme down she induced her to buy some lace and tlien offered to hold up Ihe "min'or of fate" tor her. The girl re- fu.sed at first, but, upon Ihe gvjjsv de- claring that sho would tell her some- thing nice, as-wnted. Thei fortune teller lo<ik tho girl'.s Iwnd, and U^nding her dusky head over il for a few monieiils, pr-fes.sed lo draw ('â- side Iho veil .shrouding the future, llien she told Ihe maid Hint hivr^tm- ployer's wife was never coming liome. T) this .she added the slalement that Mr. Ilellier was very fond of the maid and that tho maid was equallv fond of the miller. ".Soon,' slie suid. "he will ask you to lake a very long jour- ney with hun, never lo return and you will go." This piece of information, leaving, as il did, the credulous litllo girl .'^IIAKI.NG WITH NEISVOU.S.NESS, was too important to be disclosed for Ihe original fee of .sixpence and be- fore sho departed, Briltania demanded .uid received an e.xtra fee of a like amount. .Soon after the gypsy had taken her Wave, Ilcillier, who hud be.>n absent, relurncd lo the house. Wlioreupon I'lorne, who couldn't keep a secret, set up and told him what the intimate of the fates had told her. He piv)fe.s.sed to be highly indignrinl and immediate- ly informed ihe police. Ihilannia's so- j< urn in jail followed. There wa.s con- sidernblo local inUM'Cist in the affair at tlii^ liino and public opiinion .svmpa- Ihizivl with the miller. Tlio 'gyp,sy served her lime and went away to other parts. She is a wise fortune" teller, so i'he has eschewed clopcm'-nt.s £'nee ttien m her forecastings. .Now that Ueiller and the maid have taken her hint and skipped, the public demand for the same kind ol readings may be .s<i great that she will have to .supply them. It is believed llmt Hcllier and Florrie who took Ihe children along with theiii 111 their night, have gene to Clnnada .s<-.ine erediti-rs of tho absent niiller are esjjeeially anxious for his return as it iA found tliat he wa.s heavily in dobl Tin: I, VST AND THE WEST. (By A. Banker.) Perhaps the line of demarcation be- tween Ihe immovable Ea.>t and tlie ad- vancing West can be observed with greater clearnass at that city of con- trnsl.s, Cairo, than al any olhei' place :ii the world. For, withia live uiinulcs' walk of each other, on the ono side is the .squalid, unclean native quarter, recking in gai-liage, and crowdetl with a motley thiong of tiirbaned Arabo, negroes from tlie .Soudan, axid orienlale of all shades of blown and black; on the other sido a .s-pleiidid city of hand- some buildings, thronged with a fash- ionable crowd, many driving in line motor cars or private carriages, many walking along the crowded streets, many travelling in electric Irunis, motor omnibuses, or public pair-hor,aei vic- torias. Visiting first the native quarter the visitor is .struck by the fiery gesticula- Ik ns and wild a.'jpoct of tho untame- able Arab. If one buys a half piastre wcrth of .some unsavory comixmnd or another, a very war of words lasting perhaps a quarter of an hour may en- sue, resulting possibly in a reduction •â- ( llxc prio^ by a "iiiiliieme," about tlie value of a farthing.

And wl-.at a contrast, too. betwe<'n the shops of Ihe F.uropean and thosj :f tlie Arab quarter. 7i\c former like the best of tlvxse in London or Paris; lh«? latter, dingy, dismal cabins, dis- playing for sale oily looking garbage which few Europeans couid touch with- '111 a shudder, or chop[>ed ii|) offul. or .sheep's tails (which in lliiis part of tho world grow to an enormous size, or per- haps the primitive requiremenLs of an Arab's house, consisting of n-d much more than a pail or two, a few wooden .stools and an iron cxiking trijwd.

Sea, not fa â- from the southwest corner of .Asia .Minor. There were larger health temples than that of Cos, but Ihe newly discovered temple is the most celebrated of them nil, be-au.so It was there that Hip]io- crales, tho Father of Mcdicuie, studied and practised the art of healing and wrote some of the books that have cvme down to us. It was tliere tliat hi; freed medicine from some of the ancient superstitions and that his pow- ers of observation and scientific insight led him to discoveries of new truth that were a blei^ing to tlie Creeks for centurlea after his death. Thia forerunner of the modern ho*, pilal was built about 2.500 years ago. The place where it stood had been so changiHl by earthquakes and live rav- ages of tunc and men that it was not identified as the site of the health temple of Hippocrates till three years ago. Then Uvo British architects began dig- ging and found inscriptions proving tliat on this s|)ot the long lost temple s'kjod. F.xcavalions were rapidly pusl^ e,l and the foundations and ruined buildings, now revealed, were found (o cover an area of 590 feet from north lo south and i23 feet from east to west. -So much has b<vn found that 11 is not diflicult ici make a mental piclura of the ens<>nible of the beautiful build- ings Ihat stood here OVEB 2,C00 YEABS ACQ. The site, two miles from sea, i.s very beautiful, .Mountains rise on two sidc-s <ii it and it Is fronted by the turquoise ^^geivi doited with islands. Tho buikl- ing.s were grouped on lliixio terraces. In front is the three sided .portico and il; buildings where paticnte were re- ceived and where the consultation and operating ix>Dni5 and baths were situ- ated. It was here Ihat Hippocralw wrote his notes on many important ca.se.s. The baths were numcroiis because he \va.4 a great believer in the remedial uses of walcr. II is supposed that the modical .school also occupied some of the front buildings. A flight of stairs in the middle ground lead.s to tho second terrace, and here wa.s the great altar and Iho gymnasium, fe,.- Hippocralcs prescrilicd a great deal of exei-cisc in suitable cases. On this terrace have been uncarllied many wall slabs Inscribetl with wise maxims In regard to health that have come down lo us in the writings of lii|)poerales's. Beached by the broad stuirs ascending t ) tlic third terrace is the restoralLoii of tho beautiful temple to Apollo. Tho temples of all the greater gods exactly faced the east, and thij is the only building in the sanitarium thai had pre- cisely that orientation. TIIE PBIF^TS OF APOLLO here were trained to the care of Ihe sick and so their religious ceremonies occupier.! only a part of their lime. In tlu' buildings tliat surround the terrace on three sides were the sleeping apart- ^ nienls of the patieiiLs. Thus il is seen that 2.400 years ago the sick in this hospital were "surround- ed by many of tlw odvanlages which lo-duy arc regarded as helpful to inva- lids. They were nursed back lo health in a lovely environment, for heiv was the charm of mountains, plain and .sea â€" a place of rest, peace and beauty. There was the tlaily rouline of treat- ment by baths, exercise, massage, a regulated diet, and medicines of vege- table origin, w hich usage had approved, and Itiere were hours of sitting <jut in the sunlight in that pure mountain air, and to divert ttllenlion from human ills there were proccssion.s of whll« rol>ed pries.ls and priestes..sos, with music of llulci and cilhara and the sing- ing of po'ans. Then there wc>re performances o' com<>dy to banijsh despondency, and the studious person was free to Uir- p. \v manascri()l.s from tlie library and dream over works of history, the drama or i>oetry.
