sons Are Inclined.

rte recent discovery of the skeleton
lost child on the summit of the
s.unest mountain in the Bennachie
s,,n in Aberdeenshire holds no mys-
~ for an Australian bushman.
rho skeleton is supposed to be that
two-year-old child lost seven years
- from farm two miles away, and
= tho time of the disappearance there
.ere apparently number of theories
-, forward for the loss-that the
sS,ld had been stolen by gypsies, eaten
live by pigs or carried away by an
eagle.
Rut had man experienced in the
,sbayior of lost children been asked
that was likely to have become of the
'ost infant he would have said,

few miles, and on one of them, un-.
pss he has persisted on the way,.you
All find the lost child"
In countries like Australia, where
there are still vast tracts of partially
rttled country, the danger of "getting
hrshed," as 1t is called. is still real

THE SYMBOLISM
OF PLAYING CARDS

Aside from their use in various
games. playing cards are interesting
from historic and pictorial points OF
view, and there Is Significance In

numerical arrangement, and the suits
Of which relatively few players are
aware.
In the matter OF numerical ar
rangement II may be noted that there
are SO cards. 365 pips or spots and
13 tricks. representing, respectively.
the weeks and days in the year. and
the lunar months.
The cards in use at the present
time originated in France, and the
four suits represent the four class
es Of people as they were at that
time divided socially. The spades"
were not intended to represent i'm
plements OF labor. but spearheads,
and the spade suit stood for the
military class: clubs" are really
clover leaves, and typified the agri-
culturists; diamonds" were roofing
tlles, representing artisans Tor &C.

The face cards, or court cards"
as they were more properly desig-
mated, are self-explanitory. Jacks"
or kaves were the testers or fools"
OF the royal court. Originally the

less correct likenesses of actual per-
