The principal reason for assuming

them are all Italian and that these
Italian terms were carried all over

There Is an abundant evidence that
the playing cards which rapidly found
their way all over Euroee were made
in Venice. As each country got TO
making its own cards the emblems Of
the suits were changed to please the
national fancy until there is nothing
left today Of the original faith. char

learning these CONSIDERATIONS" Is from
some one already acquainted with
them. but II the beginner is not fortu-
nate enough TO know any such person
the majority can he learned from any

contained in alma nacs.
Now. IL the budding astronomer will
notice the position OF any OF these
groups or consultations at particu-

few hours afterward lie will see that
during the interval the stars which D.
peared low down I'm the east have risen

on several evenings will show a circu-

Near the north pole IL a bright star
called the pole star" This star Is
easily found when the observer has

A LIVING SAINT.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.

a living saint is as much a better
saint than a dead saint rs life is bet
ter than death.
Miss Sophie Wright of New Orleans
is living saint-"St. Sophie" they cali
her
You women who think your lot is
hard, who feel that you have no chance
to do things that are worth while
Listen To the story of st. Sophie.
Miss Wright was born with u spe-
cies OF hip disease that has made her
a cripple for life Every step she takes
is torture. and although she is a
young woman In years her sufferings
have turned her hair snow white. Her
parents were poor and barely were
able to support her through high
school.
A life cripple. poor, without friends,
how could she earn living sainthood?
She began teaching school. That
was twenty-five years ago when such
Il thing as night school was unknown
in New Orleans.
One night a young man, a stranded
circus acrobat, came to her aud said
ne could get a good job IL only he
could read and write. Would she not
teach him?
She did, and that was the beginning
of her night school. One by one the
pupils came for free instruction until
she was crowded out OF her little home
into larger quarters.
Today as the outcome OF Sophie
Wrights self sacrificing labors the
night schools OF New Orleans instruct
1000 pupils. and some Of the leading
citizens have been educated I'm these
schools.
Miss Wright started private school
for girls which is very successful. She
makes her living by teaching in this
school all day and gives her evenings
to 'her boys I'm the night schools.
That is not all.
This crippled woman has built a
home for crippled children. She Is the
main support of the Home For Con-
valescents and scores OF other chart
ties
Every year the Picayune, a newspa-
per, gives loving cup TO that citizen
who has done the greatest public good
for the city during the year. Several
years ago Miss Wright was awarded
the cup. In 1t was a check for $4,000.

MONEY AND MARRIAGE.

The newspapers printed n story not
long ago that Illustrated the old truth
that happiness In marriage Is not de-
pendent upon money.
A rich young married couple by
some turn OF the wheel OF fortune
lost all their money. Instead OF being
wealthy these people became very poor.
Never mind. DEAR" said the wife:
you can get n job and can cook"
There were no repinings ON either
side and no reproaches. The husband
got job by which he was able TO
make bare living. The wife gave I'D
ner sumpIuous aome and servants and
went to snail fiat. where she did
her own work and helped her hus-
band besides.
Despite their misfortunes they were
quite happy together
Then came another turn OF the
wheel and by inheritance the couple
was rich again.
And then the sequel:
The money that came to them
proved curse instead OF a blessing.
The husband could not stand pros.
perity. Luxury enervatcd~ him. He
A1C lliu tNll
ways. Gradually the husband and
wife drifted away from each other
she into society. he into business and
sports. Finally the husbands inf
deity became intolerabie. He was
VIGOROUSLY untrue to the wife who had
stood by him In the day OF adversely
The story reached its climax I'm the
sordid proceedings OF the divorce
court.
All OF which is typical
AS between the two. Ii would seem
thar poverty has Its advantages over
great wealth In connubial matters.
True. the hard conditions OF the poor
take much out OF life's romance and
tend TO make men and women callous.
But
Poverty endured in the right spirit
does tend 10 bind husband and wife
together In close and intimate fell
lowship.
On the other hand
Wealth tends to separate man and
wife. The husband Is busy making
money or taking care OF his property.
He. as rich man, is subjected to
temptations Il poor man never knows.
The wife. with nothing to do. seeks
some sort of sensations-society. enter
tainment or filrtations. Both OF
them. If they are not careful, weaken
themselves by self indulgence. And
they drift apart
The divorce court record ends 1t.
The poor man and wife have no LEI
sure for luxury. They are too busy to
seek sensations or daily with .afini-
ties" Lacking money for entertain
ments, they are thrown together for
companionship. Mutual suffering binds
them together.
On the whole. one is inclined to pray
- prayer of Hagar. "Give me mel
ther poverty nor riches"
