The Origin of Visiting Cards.--It is
said that we owe the invention of visit
ing-cards to the Chinese, and that even
so long ago as the Tong dynasty (618-
800 visiting-cards were used in China.
No nation observes so strictly the core
monies i'm regard 20 the paying of visits
as the Chinese do, but the cards they use
for this purpose are very different from
our dainty bits of white paper, being
large enough to fold twice, and of a bright
red color.
A Birthday Every Week.-There is an
old saying that the sun always shines ON
his own birthday. How many of you
ever thought of the sun as havinga birth
day, or know what day Of the week it
comes on? Yet there is little doubt but
that most of you have read oil about il in
the first chapter of Genesis, beginning at
the 14th verse. If not, do so ON the next
anniversary, which always comes ON a.
Wednesday.
An Effort to Speak. in native
or wild state never bark; they simply
whine, howl, and growl; the noise which
we call barking is found only among
those that are domesticated. Columbus
found that to be the case with the dogs
he first brought to America and left at
large, for on his return he tells us that
they had lost their propensity to bark
Scientific men say that barking is really
an effort on the part Of the dog to speak.

Odd Sport In Provence.

When we had seen the last boat-load
of pretty girls rowed briskly away, we
hurried down the white road. to where the
crowd had collected. Far on the other
side of the lake was circle of gray hills;
the black fishing craft had anchored in a
long line about half way across; and be-
tween il and the shore were the two boats

of the tournament. From each boat two
long beams rose i'm an inclined plane
away out beyond the stern and above the
water, and placed on them, at their ex-
extreme end, was narrow board, on
which presently stepped man in shirt
and brooches, with big wooden shield
strapped to him, and covering him in
front from the neck to the knees, and n
wooden lance in his hand. There were
twelve rowers and twelve oars in ench
boat; i'm the stern stood the steersman,
his hand on the tiller; and in the prov
were trumpeter and drummer.
At the first blast of the trumpet, the
first roll of the drum, the two boats took
up their position about two hundred
yards apart. AT the second, each COM
pctitor waving his little banner rs IL vic

their oars together, pulled with all their
might, the steersman encouraging them,
and the drummer beating louder than
ever, and the two boats drew nearer and

The London Times, Of recent date,
publishes a letter from Cape Town,
South Africa, which says that the Zim-
babye ruins, now being explored by Mr..
Bent, are the most unique in the world.
The walled inclosure, 260 yards round,
containing many phaliic emblems, is re-
garded as being phallic temple. The
walls i'm some places are sixteen feet
thick and forty feet high. Two attempts
have been made to open the large tower,
which is solid and shows no opening ut
the top. There are ruins on the hills
close by of the same age and style. These
consist of numerous walls and steps,
arches and walled-up caves: There are
indications that three persons occupied
these caves. The original builders were
probably Phenician Arabs. The natives
have found n phallic altar, sculptured
with birds and large bowls and with n
frieze representing a hunting scene.
There are four quaggas, at which man
is throwing dart while holding n dog in
leash. Behind are two elephants.
Some blue and green Persian pottery
and copper blade, plated with gold.
have also been found, but no inscrip-
tions. Picayune.

A Kaffir Furrier's Work.

Some of the articles of dress made by
savage and barbarous peoples deserve
notice. They are sometimes elegant in
material and beautiful in workmanship.
No furrier can do better work than does
the Kafiir karoSS-maker.
A large kdross is worn fur inward. IT
made of several skins, the heads are in a
row along the upper margin. This is
bent back and falls outward as cape.
Jackal-skin is priced as thick and soft,
with rich black mottlings. That of the
meerkat is also valued. One kdrOSS OF
thirty-six skins was sewed very neatly;
each skin was pierced by weapon; yet,
viewed on the hairy side, not hole is
visible, circular pieces of skin being "let
in" Great skill is shown in selecting
these pieces, as the meerkatiU extremely
variable. A professional koross-p,nker
takes two pieces of fur, pIaces them to-
gether, hairy sides in and edges just
matching. He repeatedly passes the
long needle between the two pieces, so as
to press the hair downward and out of the
way. He then bores few holes in a
line with each other and passes a sinew
fibre through them, casting single hitch
over each hole but leaving the thread
loose. Two or three such holes being
made and the thread passed through, he
draws it tight so as to produce n sort OF
lock-stitch, perfectly safe and neat.
Finally, he rubs down the seams so that
the edges lie as if one piece.-lPopular

FIRST AMERICAN ANARCHIST.
James Few's Uprising to Overthrow
Government In Colonial Days.

There is a general impression that the
Anarchist is foreign importation, and
that Johann Most Is the first of the An
archists of this country. As matter Of
fact, the first Anarchist in the United
States was an American of English an
cestry, and he lived a very long while
ago as VIC Americans reckon history.
James Few was his name. He was q
thrifty, Industrious carpenter, born in
South Carolina about the middle of the
last century. His parents were simple,
honest people. and he was their only
child. AS he grew up he became their
support. When James Few had grown
to manhood there came new Governor
to the Colony of Carolina. He was
Governor Tryon.
He had a way of clapping on extra
taxes upon every pretext, which was
something the simple people of the
colony could not appreciate. In fact it
enough to eat, and drinking was out of
the question if they were to pay the
taxes. Now, you may sometimes reduce
mans rations and he may not hurt
fully object, but wiseacres let a mans
propensity to drink severely alone, or
else prepare for squalls.
TO James Few the conduct of Tryon
seemed an outrage. He had no book
knowledge of any sort, but few years
later great many others, who did have
a great deal of knowledge, agreed with
him and started the great Revolution that
founded the United States.
But the first anarch went further. II
seemed to him that law was the cause Of
all the trouble. He thought if all the
Governors were abolished the people
would get along very nicely by them
selves. They needed no government to
collect taxes; in fact, there should be no
taxes. He did not stop with thinking.
He talked to his companions at his work
bench until he had won over great many
of them.
One day a friend of Governor Tryons
was brought before him accused of
several heinous offenses. The Governor
made farce of his punishment by order
ing the prisoner to pay a fine of one
penny for each offense. This was the
last straw. The good loyal people be-
came indignant. James Few and his
companions felt that the opportunity had
come to test their theory. They armed
themselves and set about capturing the
Governor But a rumor of the proposed
uprising reached the Capital. Summary
measures were taken. The troops were
called out and the followers of James
Few fell like the summer grass. James
Few himself was captured, and without
even the farce of a trial was hanged to
forest tree.
The people at once dispersed but the
seeds of the great Revolution were sown,
and few years later grew up and over
turned the old form of government.
But poor James Few was not the only
one who suffered from his unselfish de-
sire to help his fellows. The little prop
erty which his domestic virtues had en-
abled him to accumulate was confscated,
and his aged parents were obliged to end
their days in an almshouse. New York

Accepted the Challenge.

During Bishop Newman's missionary
trip around the world, a while ago, he
spent some time in India. One day lot
of native pastors were called together to
hear the Bishops views on the best
methods of carrying on evangelical work.
Native converts, according to the mission
aries, are apt to think they know just
what to do and are perfectly qualified to
get along without advice. Bishop New
man began his talk, but was constantly
interrupted by the native brethren, who
jumped UP one after another to remark
that they thought this or that would be
preferable. Nov, look here" finally
exclaimed the Bishop, losing his patience
little, "if any of you think you can
conduct this meeting better than | can
will you please rise2F There was silence
for moment as the Bishop glanced
around the room. Then four of the
brethren guvely rose and waited to be
counted. -[St. Louis Star-Sayings.

firm, precise handwriting, all sums of
money spent upon the child from the day
of its birth. He can tell at glance the
cost of its food, its dress; what he paid
for the services of nurse and doctor; the
price of its schooling; the money value
of its amusements. And he proposes
when each child is twenty-one to give it
birthday feast, and after the cake is
cut he will present the book to his of

$50 In the Circuit Court against the West

to deliver a message. 1t was shown that
the messenger boy had visited Rappapot's

and diligence was necessary in order TO re-
lease the telegraph company from liability,
and that the messenger boy should have
been dispatched the second time; that
nothing short OF this could be considered as
proper diligence The case was appealed
