"Oartes de visite.'

YOuth's Companion,
In the old days in France, visitors
at the court and at the houses. of no.
bility announced their names, on en-.
teriug, to a door-keeper, who inscrib.
ed them on a register. Sometime
afterward, instead of announcing
their names and waiting for them TO
be inscribed, the visitors acquired the
habit of leaving the name, written
upon a bit of paper, with the door.
keeper wwgFk AANf
From this custom, the practice of
carrying cards with ones name writ
ten or printed upon them readily
arose. And these cards have ever
since been called in French, and in
many other languages as well, cartes
de risite, or Visiting cards, though
their use is by no means limited to
visits. -s
Since the time when Frenchmen
began to inscribe their names upon
bits of paper in this way, visiting
cards have gone through IL great
many changes of fashion. After the
French revolution, an elaborate sys-
tenn Of symbolism sprang up. Every
bOdy's card was decorated with some
classical head or emblem, which sig
nified some sentiment OF purpose
which the receiver of the card was
supposed to be able to make out.
One needed to be very learned in
the classics, at this period. Other
wise he was lost in a maze Of referen-
ees to all the gods upon olympus
to the brow of Jove, the club Of Her
cules, the eye of Mars, and so on.
Then there came Il period when
cards were called "artistic," though
ia fact thew were merely fantastic,
and showed the worst possible taste.
This craze for "fancy" cards survived
a long time, and even now exists in
certain places.
In the civilized world in general,
however. there is no longer any lik-
ing for the fantastic in such matters.
Gentlemen and ladies both make use
Of exceedingly plain cards-white
in color, and generally having the
simple name engraved upon them.
So little, indeed, does usage ap.
prove the putting upon cards of any
unnecessary words or letters, that
people who receive them often wish
they conveyed a little more informa.
ton. An a~ffectation of simplicity is
possible, as well as an affectation Of
grandeur.
But though the symbolism of the
classic period in card-making is gone
by, it is still possible to express &c
those who know the Language Of
cards" a great many things by turn
ing down one corner or another
The turning down of n corner
means leave taking; of another con
graduation; of another, coincidence
And very grave mistakes have beer
made by those who, desiring to senC
their congratulations, have sent :

Age of the Species,

Although there is some relation be-
tween size and longevity, the dura-
ton Of the period of growth and
length of life being, speaking general
ly, longest in the largest animals
there is no fixed relation between the
two. The largest organisms live the
longest, some trees reaching an age
of 6. 900 years, and soneanimaIs, as
whales, several centuries. And after
the maturity is reached, larger an
imals require longer time to secure
the preservation of the species. The
explanation of this, as pointed out
by both Leuckhart and Herbert
Spencer, is that the absorbing sur
face Of an animal only increases as
the square of its length, while it's size
increases as the cube, and it therefore
follows that the longer aa animal be-
comes the greater VIII be the difficulty
experienced In assimiIating any
nourishment over and above that
which it requires for its own needs.
and therefore the more SLOWLY will it
produce itself.--Longman's.

Robbing a Safe.

ployed TO protect a jeWelry store in
Denver against theravages of thieves
vas neatly oItwitted by the no.
torious Billy Forester some years
before his death The firm carried
an immense stock of gems, and kept
them in d large, old fashioned safe.
Forester had by long years expe-
rience become so familiar with safes
OF that pattern that he could tell
when to reverse and when to turn
the knob forward. by placing his ear
close to the door above the combi-
nation, and in this way he could
open TIE safe in a short time. By
taking wax impression of the key
hole he made a key for the front
door. Having previously located
the safe in the store he was now
ready to begin 1t was cold, snowy,
stormy night, about 10 o'clock and
Forester walked up to the store
with an air of ownership and
unlocked the door. He carried a
small sample case in his hand. Co
ing in, he turned up the gas in the
rear of the store and then shook down
the stove. He leisurely worked the
combination to the safe, and in less
than half an hour he had before HIM
thousands of dollars worth of costly
jewels and gold watches. At this
very interesting point the night
Waterman came in.
s'Good evening" said the cordial
burglar as he continued to remove
yaluables from the safe to his sample
case. s'Come back to the fire and
warm yourself; it is very cold out to-
night"
The patrolman allowed that it was,
and sauntered back to the stove.

out on the road in the morning, and
thought l would get ready tonight.
There! isn't that a beauty" he ask
ed, holding out an elegant urgensen
for the Waterman to examine
In this way Forester packed over
$4,000 worth of gems and watches
into his sample case, chatting cheer
fully with the night Waterman ali the
while.
As he was about to close the SAM
pie case he stopped suddenly as if
struckby happy thought, and then
picked up a very pretty ring. Turn
ing to the Waterman he asked him
if he had a wife The Watchmap had,
and with a careless laugh Forester
tossed him the ring, saying: Give
her that, and tell her it is mark Of
appreciation for the faithful services
rendered by her husband.
The brilliant guardian of other
peoples property was delighted, and
was unusually wide awake all the
rest of the night It was not until
next morning that he became aware
of the hoax that had been practiced
upon him. Forester by that time
was well out ofthe way, and this con-
neetion with the robbery was not dis
covered till a few days before his
death, when he confessed tx.

As matters now stand, tho world's
fair managers have at their disposal
moro than three times the space used in
Paris.
Originally it was believed 80 acres
were needed between jackson street
and Park row, but according to the re-
port of Director Hutchinson. chairman
of the special committee on that sub
iect, 20 acres are needed instead of 30.
This contemplates the filling in of a
strip of land between Jackson street
pnd Park row of about 500 or 600 feet in
width at an approximate cost OF $780,
600. The committee on grounds and
buildings reports that the South Park
Commissioners offered $50 acres of the
lark area and so acres of the Midway
Plaisance.
THE TRANSPORTATION QUESTION.
The site having been definitely set
tied upon. the next question arising is
the transportation Of visitors between
the city and Jackson Park.
Jackson Park is located on the lake
ishore between Fifty-sixth street on the
north and Sixty-seventh street on the
south. No other site in the city can
compare with it in tho ease with which
1T can be reached. The Cottage Grove
avenue cable line runs to the park en-
trance, the State street cable line con-
