The Origin of Cards.

The origin of cards according TO the
oelebrat ed Etteilia, one of the most indie
fatigable researchers into the mysteries
of the ancients, attributes to the prinli-
tive Egyptians the invention of tarots or
Of the book of Thot They were .oonl-
posed of seventy eight thin plates of gold
the purest and tnestsknown to antiquity,
upon which were traced hieroglyphics OF
mysterious characeera, the explanation
of whioh was daily made to each family
by it's head as en- bodying revelations of
destiny.
That book was the only relic of Egyp-
tian lore which escaped the wrath of the
Callph Omar whSn that Mohammelan
zsalot caused the burning Of the oelebrat-
ed library at Alexandria. The Alexan-
drian Jews regarded the book as sacond-
airy only to their mysterious Caballa.
The Greeks next obtained it aud the
Arabs regardedstho original form of the
golden plates with holy reverence. When
the .Moors founded the kingdom Of
Granada in Spain, they brought with
them the vestigeB of the mystic work
which had persisted in tho east and had
been debarred entrance into Europe dur
ing the continuance OF that gloomy reign
OF persecution designated as the dark
ages.
From the Moors Europe received sthe
book Of Thot and that date IS the true
one to assign the revival and expansion
of .cartemanoy. Al the close of the Flour
tenth century cards were q popular
amusement. With the Germans they
formed an Important commerce and
France soon followed, establishing fac
tories for the production of cards at
Loyns, Colmer and Bslfort. But they
suppressed the sense OF the originals by
replacing the signs with Others of their
own invention.
The book of Thot was com posed of sew
enty eight tarots or emblem att cal leaves,
while our modern pack of cards has been
reduced to ffty-two, but the same ideas
are expressed in slightly altered SYM
bolism. The changes were made evil
IDENTIFY the better TO conform to the then
exising condition Of society, to which
the general neral rules of Thot could BIS
as well applied as to the primitive gov
erument of Egyvpt and.it is In this re-
vised state that we now have them.
