Johnstown. fourteen miles distant from
Conemaugh Lake, was busy manufac
turing city of about 10000 inhabitants
which had grown up around the vast
mills of the Cambria Iron Company.
These works employed about 5000 men,
and were the main support of the town.
Iron ore and coal were drawn from the
reighboring mountains, and the vast
plant of the company, which cost about
S. 900, 900, lay on both sides of the river.
q her industries of varied character had
grown up in and about Johnstown, max
ing the city an important manufacturing
centre. Across the river lay Conemaugh
borough, IA suburb of Jamestown, with
population of about 600. Just below
this point the river is spanned by heavy
stone bridge recently built by the Penn
sylvania Railroad to replace an iron
structure. Then came the little SETTLE

of Sang Hollow, six miles below Johns
town; the village of Nineveh, four miles
farther down; New Florence, six miles
below, and Bolivar, three miles beyond,
about twenty miles from Johnstown.
Swollen by the steadily pouring rain
the Couemaugh River rose above it's
banks and began to spr, ad over the lower
portions OF the towns along it's course

higher and higher, but the people, who

Tho Origin of Visiting Cards.

As is the case in many other instances, we
owe the invention of visiting cards to the
Chinese. So long ago as the period Of the
Tong dynasty (61S-900 visiting cards were
known to be in common use in China, and
that is also the date of the introduction Of
the ''red silken cords which figure 50 con-
spicuously on the engagement cards of that
country. From very ancient times to the
present day the Chinese have observed the
strictest ceremony with regard to the paying
of visits. The cards which they use fG this
purpose are very large, and usually of a
bright red color.
When Chinaman desires to marry, his
parents intimate that fact to professional
'lnatch maker" who thereupon runs through
the list of her visiting acquaintance, and Sc
lects one whom she considers fitting bride
for the young man, and then she calls upon
the young woman's parents, armed with the
bridegrcon's card, on which are inscribed his
ancestral name and the eight symbols which
denote the day of his birth. If the answer is
an acceptance Of his suit, the brides card is
sent in return, and should the oracles prophesy
good concerning the union the particulars of
the engagement are written on two large
cards. tied together with the red cords.-To-

Equal to the Occasion.

The best thing told of Del Sarte, the great
master of expression, was his demeanor on a
single occasion when he was taken by sur
prise and fall his arts seemed unavailing. It
was told by one of his personal pupils. As
his life went on, he was in part superseded In
favor by more snowy rival, with whom he
was to unite one day in a recitation before
certain important personages. 1t so hap
pened that the rival was to arrange the per-
Torrance, and as one Of his advantages lay
a voice much more powerful than Del Sarte's,
he maliciously contrived to place the audience
at a very great distance. Del Sarte saw
through the vancouver at glance, and
formed his own plan to counterfeit it. The
rival had tine first recitation, and spoke SO
loud that nobody felt called upon to keep
very still; and there was SO much taking and
moving about as really TO interfere with the
performance. When Del Sarte came for
ward there was a molnentary hush from
curiosity to hear his opening He not only
made no effort to speak louder than usual,
but actually spoke lower, SO that there was
a complete silence through his whole recita-
ton, and nobody lost word of it. A man
thus equal to the occasion could teach lessons
more important than any art Of expression--
