Oriyln of Whiting Cards.

The use OF visiting cards dates back
to quite an antiquity" explains Mrs
Van koert Schuyler. in the Ladies'
Home Journal. Formerly the porter
at the lodge or door of great houses
kept visitors book, in which he
scrawled his idea of the names of those
who called upon the master and his
family. and to whose inspection 1t was
submitted from time to time. One fine
gentleman, scion of the nobility from
the Faubourg st. German, was
shocked to find that his porter kept
SO poor a register of the names of
those who had called upon him. The
names. badly written with spluttering
pen and pale or muddy ink, suggested
10 him the idea of writing his own
name upon slips of paper or bits of
cardboard in advance of calling upon
his neighbors. lest his name should
fare as badly at the hands of their
pOrters. This custom soon became
generally established.

with a gasoline tank, carrying suffici

specific warnings of every great
storm, food, cold waveand drouth,
have been plainly printed in his

years. The latest startling proof
of this fact was the destruction
of Galveston, Texas, on the very
day named by Prof. Hicks i'll his

by storm along the gulf coasts.
The 1901 Almanac, by far the
finest, most complete and beauti-

illustrated with charts and half
