AutraIia Pictured as
'sLand of Opportunity

An American salesman, who has
spent several years in Australia, says
that it is no uncommon thing for Il
man by farming to accumulate suffi-
cient money to warrant his retirement
in that country in ten years. The land
is the asset Of Australia. Farmers can
start with little or no capital and in
ten years can amass sufficient con-.
petence to retire, he said. He can
take up 1900 acres at 80 cents to S.
per acre, and can&g get advances from
the National Agricultural bank with
which to make the improvements.
The farmer has 80 years to pay off
is farm, and the interest is only
per cent. The first five years he is
not required to pay any interest at
all. No man can take out more than
1000 acres in his own name, but he
is allowed to take out that much for
each of his sons. The great problem
of the country, however, is labor. The
native labor is Of very Indifferent
character, but this is largely overcome
by the use of agricultural machinery,
and the machinery from the United
States is the most favored by the farm
ers of Australia.

His Powers r7ystery

William Strong, the man who could
compute figures with the, speed and
accuracy Of an adding machine-and

He would stand beside railroad
track as long freight rolled by, OBJ
serving the car numbers, and when
the caboose flashed past he would an
nounce the total as correctly as the
tabulator with paper and pad who
stood beside him.
Merchants employed him at inven-
tory time In place of using adding mat
chimes. He would tell engineers how
many brick would be needed for a
wall. compute cube root; give exact
ages the instant q birth date was
given him. Always to the question,
"HOw do you do it?" he would an

was fifty. died recently on a railroad
viaduct in Bartonville, England. where
he was in the habit of going daily to

numbers, "just to keep in practice"
he said.

ten about Black Beard, the pirate.
Ben himself, afterward, refers to them
as miserable ditties" but at that time
they had large sale.
No less interesting than the histor-
ical material to be found on the faces
of the playing cards is that found up
on the backs of the cards. In the
Colonial days it was the custom to use
the plain backs Of the cards for vari-
GUS things. In the Cincinnati museum
are cards with the backs printed and
used as cards of admission to enter
tainments, lectures and classes at the
University of Pennsylvania, from 1765
to III, and as invitations to teas and
assemblies and balls. Some also bear
directions for figures of square dances
and others various patriotic games.
One of the most interesting is that
shown in No. 2. 1t is silhouette por-
trait of Joseph Hopkinson by the
famous artist, Charles Wilson Peale.
In 1924, when Lafayette came back
to visit the country whose indepen-
dence he had helped to gain, a New
England card maker, JAZZ Ell. Ford, is
sued set of playing cards in honor OF
the distinguished Frenchman whose
portrait, surrounded by symbolic de-
signs, was printed as the ace OF
spades, as shown in No. a.
Among the interesting exhibits In
the museum are the playing cards of
the Civil war period in which the pa
triotic motif is strong. Instead of hav-
ing the usual suit signs of spades,
clubs, diamonds and hearts, flags
shields and other patriotic emblems
were used. An example Of this is No.
Of the illustration above In which
the bewhiskered general is the skiing"
Of whatever suit is designated by the
flag up in the corner. The queen" Of
the flag suit was the symbolic figure
Of Columbia. Another card of this
same era is shown in No. 5, in which
the figure Of the Monitor, famous for
its victory over the Merrimac, was
substituted for one Of the conventional
suit symbols.

BY ELMO SCOTT WATSON

teenth century to the Car
dinal Mazarin was en-
NJ trusted the task Of pre-
Se pairing young prince for
u his future career as king
Of France, that career
NJ which was to make Louis
Quatorze (Louis XIV
forever famous as the "Sun King" and
lie Grand Monarque." Mazarin found
that his royal pupil was not nearly so
much interested in the studies which
should fit him for his high position as
re was In other activities. which later
were to make the French court notori-
GUS and which were to lead ertuallys
to the downfall Of the House Bour-
bon.
One Of the young princes favorite
diversions was to "playe ut cardes"
and the cardinal decided that he might
MS well take advantage of that inter-
est by introducing an educational ele-
ment into the pastime. So he ordered
maker Of playing cards to devise
some cards from which the prince
could learn such things as geography
and history while he was playing the
game. Soon there was delivered to
the cardinal two sets Of cards, one
was historical set and bore the pic
lures of famous queens and the stories
Of their careers. The other was geo.
graphical game, each card representing
some country with short description
of that land and illustrated with q
symbolic figure, dressed in the native
costume.
Among the countries depicted thus
were certain parts Of North America,
two of which, Virginia and Florida,
are shown in the illustrations (No. z
and 81 accompanying this article. Nat
urally, the symbolic figures of these
two are Indian maidens, but it is in
teresting to note that the native cos
tune" as shown on these cards print
ed back in 1864, is not so different per-
haps-at least, in one case-from those
of today. Take look at FLORIDA"
above and, except for the bow and ar
row, you might almost think that you
were looking at the picture of a bath
ing beauty at Palm Beach, Miami or
some other seaside resort!
1t is perhaps futile to speculate up
on how much the. young prince learned
from these educational cards and it
might be jumping at conclusions too
hastily to ascribe to them the awak-
ening Of his interest in foreign coun-
tries which made him an imperialist
and led to Frances colonizing expert
ments in the New world. But the fact
remains that "of all the French mon
archs Of the Seventeenth century
Louis XIV was the first and only one
to take an active and enduring inter-
est in the great crusade to the north
ern wilderness. He began his person
al reign about 1860 with a genuine
display Of zeal for the establishment
Of a colony which would by its rapid
growth and prosperity soon crowd the
English off the new continent :.
