Dabbling with Magto, T: Rue Touchet in Paris was near the court section, but was, for all that, one of the lowest quarters of the city. At the end of the street, blook- ing {t Into @ cul-de-sac, stood Solomon Notredamo’s house. Qnce a week or so the astrologers sombre figure might be seen entering or leaving, and men at tavern doors would point at him, and slatternly women, leaning out of windows, cross them- elves, But few in the Rue Touchet knew that the house had a second door, which did not open on the water, as the back doors of the river-side houses did, but on a quiet street leading to it. M. Notredame's house was, in fact, @ouble, and served two sorts of clionts. Great Indies and courtiers came to the door 4h the quiet street, and knew noth- ing of the Rue Touchet, Through the latter came lackeys and waiting-maids, and akulking apprentices and led-cap- tains—the dregs of the quarter, sodden with vice and crime—and knowledge. ‘The house was furnished accordingly. The clients of the Rue Touchet found the astrologer in a room divided tnto ‘two by scarlet hangings, where the sul- len giow of & furnace disclosed alem- bics and crucibles, mortars and retorts, ® multitude of uncouth vessels and vials, and all the mysterious apparatus ef the alchemist, From this room a little staircase, elosed at the top by a strong door, led to the chamber and ante-chamber in ‘which the astrologer received his real gilents, Here all was changed. Both 8 were hung, canopied, carpeted qwith black; were vast, death-like, empty. A kind of al tar at the further end bore two great tomes, continually jopen, In tho fhiddle of the floor was an ‘aetrolabe on an ebony pillar, and the floor itself was @ mbroidered in white, qwith the signs of the zodiac and the \@welve houses arranged in a circle, may have my money?

No guilty man would have bought his wife such lovely dinmonds. “But do you ever buy me diamonds? No; you never even think of stopping in at the delicatessen store for two pounds of cheese as I asked you to. And now you come with a bank book and a erin and think I ought to fall at your fcet because you have schemed to get me to scrimp and save the few dollars Eiget, to keep me in shabby clothes, to starve myself, to worry my- self into my grave that yau may spend the money I killed myself to save, on some other woman. ' “No, thank you, Mr. Nagg. A man with any love for lls wife, a generous man, a kind-hearted man would come to his wife and give her the money without any restrictions.

Allow the body to eway forward when the arms «0 back, but do not duck the head sor let the body bend at the waist. ? One exercise which not only coaxes ourves for the arm, but also adds to the shapeliness of shoulders, requires a wand which should be grasped by the hands extended above the head (Fig. 2).
