TICKLES THE NERVES That Notify People When Food is Really Appetizing, SIGHTS AND SMELLS AT THE BALL Wandering Willie Strikes the Pure Food Exposition. HOT CAKES AND COFFEE _ canner “Well, say, if this ain't a snap,” mur- mured Wandering Willie after he had made the round of the pure food exposition at Convention Hall last night. Then, as he stood at the upper end of the hall and sur- veyed the scene, while the tempting odors of good things cooking tickled his olfactory nerve, a beatific look of joy overspread his features and a sense of happy anticipation possessed his soul. Wandering Willie was hungry, as usual, and in that cursory glance cast over the premises his practiced eye had caught a number of rich fields to be worked later on. He had noticed a number of booths where cooking was in progress, and edibles and drinkables were being served free of cost to crowds of ladies and gentlemen who thronged the place. “Why, it's a reg’lar plenic,” chuckled Wandering Willie, amazedly. “Now where shall I begin,” he muttered, as he thought- fully rubbed his chin. “Um-m! I guess I'll tackle as an appetizer some of the clam juice. Wonder if it's better than corn juice.” ‘Then he marched up to the booth where several dainty maidens were handing out @aintier cups full of broth that emitted an @ppetizing odor, and which soon filled a long-felt want in Wandering Willie's sys- tem. After casting approving glances at the young ladies behind the booth he solemnly assured them that he would commend their Wares to his wife and would henceforth never be without clam bouillon in the house, especially if it would give his daughters such beautiful complexions as these young ladies possessed. Here he paused long enough to afford them an opportunity to ask him to have SS but they were wary, and it didn’t wor! He concluded that some hot cakes fresh from the griddle would be the next course im order. He had carefully noted the lo- cation of three rival firms dealing in light cereals, each of whom had “Now, just watch me whipsaw them; Tu play “em one against the other,” said Wandering Willie to himself, as he pranced gaily up to the booth. Indeed it was a tempting sight. The cook was busily engaged spreading the bat- ter in little round puddles on the griddle, where it spluttered for a few moments, and was then deftly turned over, displaying a rich, brown surface, and every time the cook flopped a cake Wandering Willie's heart fluttered in joyous anticipation. Final- ly, when the cakes were done they were stacked in a smoking pile on a plate and eux. There was a great roll of golden butter near by, a sugar sifter handy, and for a few moments Wandering Willie reveled. in coramon with a crowd of en- thusiastic people around. Carefully noting the brand of the cereal he passed on. “I wonder how a cup of old government Java and mocha with pure cream would go.” he mused, as he slid over to the other side of the hall, “only the rich can enjoy these things, and I feel sorry for the poor.” He found the condensed milk man doing @ cood business, alorgside of the tea and coffee man, and in Wandering Willie's Phraseology he concluded he would “hit’ the latter. It must not be presumed that he was rude enough to really strike the man. but just “touched” him for a cup of coffee as ali the others did. “I a could understand people’s passion for strong drink.” he meditated, as he moved off toward another hot cake booth. “Now, why a man will resort to liquor when he can ‘get good, strong coffee—" here his eye caught a sign of “grape juice,” and he saw a man dealing out little glasses of something suspiciously like claret to an eager cro’ In his haste to arrive on the scene of action he nearly annihilated a wo- man and three children with their arms full of salt bags.

The coffee stand, where free cups of frag- rant coffee are served, with cream and con- densed milk, is another popular place. The coffee is really delicious, and is always sur- rounded by a thirsty and appreciative crowd. There are all sorts of booths where people are invited to taste the products offered for = — — samples to take away, cocoa, bouillon, tea, grape juice, breakfast food or what not. pi Interested Visitors, A Chicago firm that is advertising a sub- stitute for lard bakes muffins and serves them hot, to show housekeepers that there is no taste from the “shortening” in the bread. A rival firm just across the way makes doughnuts and passes them-around to prove the claims for its substitute for lard. A dealer in flour bakes biscuits in a Jiffy, to show how his flour pans out. A Lively Demand. In one end of the room is a model of a brewery in full operation, demonstrating the Process of brewing beer. It is run by elec- tricity, and turns out one barrel of beer a day. All the evening long crowds came and went through the great hall, viewing the exhibits and listening to the excellent music of the ~and stationed in the gallery. Nearly every one who passed out carried a sack packed with samples of the Productg on ex- hibition. The exposition will continue until January 25, and every afternoon at 4 o'clock free lectures upon cooking will be given. A good deal of interest was shown in the exhibit of cottolene, which, as everybody knows, is a preparation from cotton seed, which is used in cooking much as lard is. The various uses of this Dreparation are fully explained to those who stop to look over the attractive exhibit, and the visitors are not only pleased with the results that are obtained, but they are interested in adding to their fund of information in re- gard to a food product which is not well known. " bs d ~~ The Cats Kept Coming Back. From the Norway Advertiser. This cat story comes from a Free Baptist clergyman, consequently it must be true. In his parish lived a man and his wife, very poor in all their surroundings, yet firm in the faith. They were very anxious for ‘the minister to visit them. He did so and found @ poor house, small, very small. The minis- ter was given a bed, the only bed. He must tarry another night. He learned that the woman lodged on a lounge in the living room, sald room conbining all the requisites of kitchen, dining room and Parlor, while the lord of the household slept on the floor. Jn some way the minister gave them to understand that it would delight him to He en the lounge. When about to retire he mentioned to the man that it would be advisable to put out of doors two cats in the room, which was done. After lying for a few moments on his couch out me two cats from be- neath the lounge, spitting and crying. He arose and threw them out. Very soon the same scene was enacted again and again, until he became disturbed with supersti- tious emotions. He knew not what to do, and still they came and still out they went, and in they came all the long night. In the morning when the man came in the dominie asked, “How many cats have you here? I have thrown out fifty or more and I don’t knpw but what there are more un- der the lounge.” He raised the valance, and lo, a cat hole through the wall of the house! — ie Chickens for the City. “Condensed chickens are a hobby of mine,” said a family man to a Star re- porter. “No, I don’t mean canned fowls. Quite the contrary. You see, we used to live in the country before I came to Wash- ington. I kept a big flock of Brahmas, which, as I suppose you know, are the giants among poultry. They lay large brown eggs and have whiskers on their legs. It was a grief to have to give them up. ‘ot long ago, however, my wife sald to me: ‘James, I can see no reason why we should not still keep chickens, though we do live in town. Our yard is rather small, but we can maintain them on a condensed basis. Instead of a large flock of big fowls we can have a small flock of little ones. I would suggest a dozen bantams.’ Thus it came about tl we went into chicken raising again on the smallest possible scale. “One of our bantams is a wonder. When she wants to lay she comes to the kitchen door and cackles. The door being opened she walks in and jumps up on the dresser. ‘Then the cook pulls open one of the draw- ers of the dresser und she hops into it. The drawer is then closed all but a crack, and she gemains there until she has laid her egg. Having accomplished thi e cackles some more and is let out again. “Last summer we thought that our cat had the mange. Its fur was ull off in speckled with bald eral remedies, but . Finally we discovered that the bantams were accountable for the trouble. Three or four of them had little chicks and every time pussy went through the yard they set upon her, each of them taking out a beak full of fur. Such a ter- rorized cat you never sa pach peTay A Tasty Dish.

HIS FORTUNE TOLD. Experts Investigate a Star Man's Past and Future. FORTUNES :T0LD BY CARDS. —_-—__ The Usual Formula of Dark Men, Light Women and Future Luck. ASTROLOGY, SECOND SIGHT. pibcacstagepncce ses SS REPORTER FOR The Star has had his fortune told. He has hed his past retro- spected, his present inspected and his fu- ture prospected. He has learned that his past contains much that he did not know before, and that his future is variously tinged with promise and despair. He has had several tete-a- tetes with seventh daughters, who claim to have been born with second sight and caul. His first sitting was with a lady who sees through the future and-dispels evil Spells. She received the reporter in # stuf- fy room, vaguely Mghted with a kerosene lamp, and redolent with fried cnions, The lady in question is a 275-pounder with a pitted complexion, full brown eyes and an upper and lower outfit of porcelain teeth. She 1s loquacious, without stating many facts. Her sentences run through many chapters by the frequent use of “well,” “but,” “howsoever,” “and so.” She is a native of the south and used to be called “Doll” by her friends. When the colored folks down on the plantation struck a snag they would “‘ax Miss Doll, fo’ she know.” She came to Washington twelve years ago. Six years ago, being very poor, she accepted the advice of friends and es- sayed the reading of the future. The idea did not wholly please her, for she “knew what the world thought of them people.” After inserting an advertisement she had a treasury surplus of 7 cents. Her first caller was & woman and on the first day, accord- ing to her statement, she cleared $17. This lady told The Star man that she had never resorted to trickery, excepting upon one occasion. His Fortune. “I once worked a spell on a man," she said, “by throwing saltpetre on him, and although he had arranged to receive JW Suest at the last inauguration, he had only nine cots taken. Yes, these little sacks of incense are to be worn inside the vest or corset, for if incense will drive evil spirits out of church, it ought to drive them plumb out of sight.” 1t required over an hour to worm this in- terview out of the lady, notwithstanding the strong bond of sympathy which had been hastily established between the wizard and the scribe. She had been fingering for pointers about the reporter, and he had in- cidentially let some fall. They were not true. The lady anointed her thumb and dealt the soiled cards face up. When a card of some unusual significance showed up, she would say “O! in a long-drawn, whistling sort of w Then she began to utilize the fallen tips as follows: “You have an affair of the heart with a lady. She has blue-gray eyes, and her hair is blonded. Here she is again. My, but she is follow- ing you up in a way that seems to be a marriage. You are enthralled by her pow- er. You can’t keep away. During the sum- mer you were with each other a great deal. I can see you on the water, just as plain as I see you here. Here comes a fine-looking bald-headed man, evidently a professional man. He steps from a buggy, and has flow- ers and cat-tails in his hands. She is eager for marriage and social prominence. Tou are undone. Don't see her again. Here is your wish card. It lies close to you, and you will have your wish. An Astrologer Nest. The Star man called next on a lady, the door of whose room bore the legend, “As- trologer.” The tourist walked in. The apartment was uncarpeted, chilly, but scrupulously clean. In a corner, carefully concealed behind a Japanese screen, was a case of bottled beer. Over the comfortable- looking double bed was a photograph of the lady. The room was full of a terrier named Jack, who loathed The Star man. The in- mate was a prepossessing lady, with youth, form and hazel eyes. She seemed timid, as though a novice in the business, She told the reporter that she had retired from the profession and that the sign was on her door by mistake. She was born 1: keepsie, N. Y., lived for a long time at Nor- and had recently come to Wash- ington. The hidden beer belonged to her husband, who was away. She refused to astrologize, but wou! his character. And this is what said: “You are a lawyer. Your guileless manner is all put on. ‘You are unscrupulous and would do anything except a square act. You think more of the girls than you ought to. You drink and gamble. You have had a deal of trouble, but you are so self-satisfied that you don’t let it worry you. Now let this ray of light fall on your face. Yes, you have a vicious, cunning and malignant nature. If you would brush your hair and — your shoes you wouldn't be quite so ugly.” After some coaxing she got the cards and the reporter arranged the chairs and table near the stoye. She dealt the deck face up and in the shape of a Maltese cross. She said: “You have had some trouble with some girl. She has either black or brown hair, anyhow; she isn’t quite what you'd call a blonde. You are going on a journey to see her and will cross water. Now, please don’t interrupt me. No, sir, she don’t live in Anacostia. There {is a carriage, a late supper and she is wearing your flowers. There is an elder- ly gentleman, very close to you, who does not approve of your way of living. There is a very light man trying to unhorse you, but if the late suppers are late enough and often enough and liberal enough and Mquid enough you will come out on top. There is some family trouble here in which you have lost some money. No, sir, I don’t know when my husband will return. I am sure she loves you and she has a barrel. There is a quarrel ahead for you. No, sir, I don’t like men. You will not love her a: truly as you should. You will have happi ness and live long. Yes, it is rather late. Good evening.” The Star man tramped out into the cold, bleak night and put his over- coat on the inside of him. Came From the Lord. The next resort visited by the reporter was a shanty in South Washington. The proprietress is quite an ancient negress with a large family. She cures all the ills that flesh is heir to by the use of roots and herbs, and serves up the future to suit. It was late when The Star man called. An Ethiopian maiden was reclining on the sofa and was belng fed on hay and sage brush for “mizry in de hed an’ bile.” The head of the form-couchant was swaddled up in bandages wet with vinegar, coal oll and molasses. The reporter explained that the fates were against him on crap; that the bones wouldn't come seven, and that the wrong dog had won. Would she fix up his future and repair his luck? “Lor’, chile, T'se bin tellin’ fortchuns eber sinchew woz a-rootin’ in de parsley bed. How did er git ter er-seeing awl dat woz ter hapn fo’ it did done it? Wy, bress yo’ hart, hunny’ de gude Lor’ done gone an’ guv me dat presshus boom fo’ de redemtification an’ sactificashun an’ edificashun ob his chil- luns.” Translated into Washingtonese, what the old woman told the reporter was | that his pathway was more strewn with | roses than with railroad ties; that he was destined to get milk, honey, mince pies, soda water and parsnips, before, after, at | and between meals, and that when he had | laid down his typewriter and gone to where the good reporters go, he could roost with the angels, make faces at his city editor ; and have his English set up as “she was wrote.” The reporter was told that he “woz | ter weah ginerwine dymuns on de middie finger ob de lef’ han’;” that he would re- ceive some ged things soon, and “hyar sum powerful good noose.” Altogether she was the most satisfactory forecaster whom The Star man struck. Cor ited by Business Men. The next call was to the only German and English astrologer in the city. The reporter jerked the door bell out of joint, and the door opened automatically. At the top of the first flight he encountered a man under- going a toilet. Is the widely-famed and most wonderful lady at home?” queried the scribe. “Yes; walk into the parlor.” It Was evidently the husband, and he unmuz- zled a set of operatic lungs, as he shouted to the lady who was in the roof story, “There's @ man wants to see you.” Soon she, rigged in curl papers and a wrapper that was not next to godliness, entered. “I fear I have disturbed you,” said the victim with naked head. “No interruption in the least—pray don’t mention it—you must ex- cuse my appearance—I was making ready for the theater. I do so like to go to the theater—I have been trying to go for three Weeks—trade is so brisk—the public is be- ginning to be appreciative of my mar- velous power—won't you sit down—the gas is so bad—light this jet—I am so very, very busy—take this chair, please—&c., d&ic., &c. My art thrives when times are dull with other people. No, indeed, ladies are not my best patrons—some of the biggest busi- ness men in Washington consult me before buying a piece of land and putting a mort- gage on their watch.” “How did you discover that you were loaded with this double-back-action sight for hitting capital cash prizes and reading clean through ond Cee ae hand?” inquired the promising journalist. ate was born with me. When I was born my nurse saw a blood red heart in the cen- ter of my forehead, but she whisked a white rag, and it vanished. My ma could have killedsher for wiping off the mark of my divinity. I've been telling fortunes and giving happiness to others for twenty years. Cut the cards, please; they should be cut with the left hand by single men and with the right by married men.” The Star man thought this was a leading question, and although he is not limited by matrimony, he cut the deck with his right hand. “Now pass the dollar over the cards,” said she, “‘as this will give you luck. There 4s much sorrow in your family. You really love your wife, but she is tempted by other people. There is an influence at work which you do not understand, and which it is not right that you should understand just at this time. I see it very, very clear- 1 ‘But my wife is dead,” lied the news hunter. “This influence of which I tell you only hastened your separation—your wife is not dead—I see her standing by your side and stroking your hair. There is some trouble in your heart now. I see a blonde man, lNghter than you, with a halo of treachery around him. If you have had business with such a man he has beat you, and if you are to have business with such @ man he will ‘do’ you. Here is a very dark woman looking at you intently. She is thinking of you and loves you. You may not know such a woman, but if you do not you will. This card says you are to be sick; it may not be serious sickness, but you will feel unwell. This spade man is in love with a diamond woman and so are you. Neither of you may know that you love, or are loved, but I can see it and it will all come out right in the future.” The lady recited all this in a way which induced The Star man to think that it was not purely an extemporaneous fortune. “Now, place a wish on any card you like and I will turn this deck, face down, and deal them alternately to you and me. If ar ag comes to you you will get your wish.” The reporter placed a wish for a promo- tion on the joker and a wish for a kiss on the queen of hearts, but both cards de- clined to com him. Fortunes at a Discount. The next wonder worker visited by The Star man was a man. He was received at the door by @ lady, who seemed to be part of the outfit. she said, “I am not his wife, I am his sister.” “Is this futurity business a family trait?’ asked the report- er. “No, indeed, I only wish I could do it. She sald this as though she had said it be- fore, and did not ve it. In the parlor were three wom il strangers to each other, and in a back room the professor was engaged with a fourth. All the women were poorly clad and seemed not to be over well to do. It was very easy to engage them in conversation. It was difficult to keep them from talking. They all had tales to tell which erected the reporter’s hair. Three of the women were veterans, and had their fortunes told every time they got 50 cents. The author was told, though, that a discount would be made for for- tures in large quantities. The professor presented a humorous appearance. Nobody could possibly get mad with him. He is one of the most inoffensive little men to be met. He is very round and fat. He has @ girlish face and the fnost peculiar hair, It is a reddish brown and wiry. He does not part it; it just grows. This may have been a wig, but the room was not well lighted and it was impossible to do the scalp act. He sat at the table in his shirt-sleeves, with his forearms bared and his collar off and shirt-front open. “You seem to tell a good many fortunes?’ remarked the re- porter. “I’m always busy. I had to go over to Baltimore, Christmas, to get a rest. Peo- ple crowd upon me. ‘How long have you had this gift?” “Ever since I was a boy. I could tell fortunes as far back as I can remember. Cut the cards, please. Oh! but you cut very well; you contemplate making @ change in your present business; you feel that you are greater than other people give you credit for; this change will prove all right, you may meet with some hardships at first, but in the end it will come out ull right. You can travel anywhere and no harm will never come to you. Your most lucky time will be between thirty-nine and fifty-five years old. There is some sickness ahead of you, but nothing serious as I can se2. You ought not to bet or match coins, because your luck don’t run in that line. You will be lucky in leve.

Now there is Mrs. » gosh only knows what her real name is. Why, that woman used to be my servant, and we called her Sallie; then she learned how to read a few cards and now she's telling for- tun Another one, who is setting herself up as great shakes, used to come to me as one of my patrons, and she came so much that she learned how to make out a few cards and now, you see, she’s in the busi- ness, But I don’t run down nobody.

Then {if a person ain’t perfectly satisfied with their fortune I don’t charge them a cent, and if they like their fortune, it only costs them 50 cents, Good-bye.”” Gets a Substitute. The reporter grew tired of finding out 80 much about himself, and selected a very bright young lady to represent him before another of the oldest established clairvoy- ants in town. The girl received pretty much the same kind of a fortune which the reporter had been told, only the gender of the fortune was shifted. She was partially in love with a dark man. She did not know positively whether she loved him, but she leaned toward him very warmly, and at times thought that he was a Romeo from away back. He had kissed her and taken her to the play. She would see him again, and they would have a quarrel, but like everything else, this, too, would come out all right in the end. ———_+ e+ —__ THE SOLUTION OF IT. An Old-Time Courtship Brought to a Round-Up by the Girl. From Texas Siftings. They had been engaged only fifteen years, but it seemed a long time to her, and she was growing restless. “Darling,” she sald in gentlest accents, “our betrothal has been very sweet, has it not?” “It has, it has, indeed, my own.” “But it has been very long, don’t you think?" “Yes, it has been pretty middlin’ long,” he rejoined. “I was thinking, dearest,” she continued, playing with his watch and casting down her eyes, “that our betrothal is nearly old enough to go out and work for its living. Couldn't we have it learn a trade, or get ita clerkship, or put it out at interest, or do something with it so that we might realize something on it?
