PLAYING Cards

Many nations claim the invention
of playing cards, but 1t is generally
believed that they came from Asia,
probably from China. The great Chi
nese dictionary claims they were In
vented in the reign Of Seun-ho, in the
year 1120 A. D. They first appeared
In Europe during the Fourteenth CEN
fury, evidently having entered through
the Arabs or Saraeens, wbotlnay have
learned their use from the gypsies.
The earliest cards were painted, but
the art of printing cards was discov-
cred by the Germans about 1860, and
the modern figures on the cards are
said to have been invented in France

When Mark Anthony said Friends,
Romans, countrymen, lend me your
ears he very probably addressed a
small audience, some of whom were
able to hear what he had to say, while
others on the outskirts of the group
very likely looked at each other in a
blank sort of way and wondered what
1t was all about.
According to the encyclopedia Mark
Anthony was at the height of his
power about 80 B. c. Strange as it
may seem, from that far distant date
until the second decade of the TWEEN.
tieth century, there was no change in
the method of speaker getting his
message across to large audiences.
Public speakers not blessed with
stentorian voices were handicapped in
addressing large gatherings whether
In the open or in auditoriums, churches,
schools. and theaters having poor
acoustic properties Frequently such
speakers were unjustly criticized when
in reality they were doing their level
best to be heard. But the natural con.
ditions were against them to such an
extent that they could be heard by
Just few.
With the Presidential Inauguration
OF March 4, 1891, great change was
brought about In public speaking. At
that time the Bell Public Address
System came into use and since has
been used on similar occasions and as
well at State inaugurations and for
many other occasions where large
groups assembled.
The public address system de.

Another belief of the old-time doe

called "humOrs" In the blood has
proved to be the modern 'hormOnes"
which are secreted from certain duct

time dotors rlalmed the disposition Of
their patients and some Uf their Ills
