Primitive Astronomy.

The author of "Wanderings in a Wild
Country" gives some curious ideas with re-
gard to the celestial bodies, which he gath
cred from the natives of New Britain. The
''untutored mind" is evidently more imagi-
native than scientific.
In conversation one day with an old man
about the spirits of the deceased, he told me
that the stars were lamps hung by the depart
ed spirits to light the way for those that
should come after Where these spirits were
ne did not say, and although l questioned
him closely on the subject, he seemed to have
no idea as to the sort of place to which they
come at last.
He only knew that they went across the
water to the moon at rising, and, getting into
this, were carried to the region of the stars,
whence they returned to visit the earth by
the same means.
tried to puzzle him BY asking him how it
was that the moon was sometimes large and
sometimes small. He replied that when it
was small there were not SO many spirits re-
quiring to go, as it was at the full moon that
most people died. Naturally, that was also
the time when most spirits required to visit
the earth. Youths Companion.

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. 1t
was told by one of his personal pupils. AS
his life went on, he was III part superseded in
favor by more snowy rival, with whom he
was to unite one day in recitation before
certain important personaSes. 1t so hap
pened that the rival was to arrange the per-
Torrance, and as one of his advantages lay
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 maneuver at glance, and
formed his own plan to cOunteract it, The
rival had the 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 momentary 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 a word of it. A man
thus equal to the occasion could teach lessons
more important than any art of expression.-

The 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 C6ls-9O0 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 so 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 for this
purpose are very large, and usually of a
bright red color.
When Chinapan desires to marry, his
parents intimate that fact to professional
'match 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
bridegrooms 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-
