Something About Which a Great
many People are Interested.
From the Sew York Home Journal.
It is net easy to determine with precision
where and when visiting and invitatio i
cards originated in Europe. In reality they
were not so much a mat ter of invention as
of evolution. The first person who utilized
the white back of a playing card to write
his i a:ne on when he failed to find his friend
at home; or to leave a message or itivila
tation for him, would, were he known, ho
entitled to the title of “inventor.'’ We
fciiuw tnat in England these cards had their
origin in the wav indicated. Dr. Charlton,
in English Notes and (Jucries, says that
in examining a lot of old papers he came
across a number of such cards dated 1753-
1704, many of which were printed from ele
gant English cooper plates on the backs of
old playing cards.
The visiting cards were small, the cards
having been cut, and those of the earl and
countess of Northumberland were printed
on the back of the trey of clubs and of the
queen of diamonds, respectively. The in
vitations to card parties, printed from cop
per plates, were large enough to cover the
whole hack of a playing card. The duchess
of Grafton's card is printed on the back of
the ace of hearts, and the Lady Northum
berland’s on the back of the ten of spades
and teu of hearts. At the bottom of the
latter are added the words: “Without
hoops if agreeable.” It is presumed the
huge hoops of those days impeded access to
the card table. It would appear that the
use of such invitation cards, especially in
connection with card parties, had become
established in London in the first half of
the eighteenth century. Previously, invita
tions to such parties were wont to be sent
verbally through servants. The writing
on the backs of playing cards was to prevent
mistakes as well as from an appreciation of,
the symbolical appropriateness of the form*
used.
Cardboard proper, as we knew it, had not
yet been invented. The custom was found
convenient, and so was extended to calling
cards anti became fashionable. Some thirty
five years ago a house in Dean street, Soho,
the residence of either Hogarth (1698-1764)
or his father-in-law, was in course of re
pair. On removing a marble chimney
piece in the front drawing-room four or
five playing cards were found, on the back
of which names were written—one that of
Sir Isaac Newton (born 1642). It has been
conjectured these were visiting cards, but
it is really doubtful whether the philoso
pher would have employed such. Might
they not have been produced by the artist
as studies for his art? In plate four, of his
“Marriage-a-la-Hode,” several such cards
are represented lying on the floor in the
right-hand corner of the picture. On one,
the painter, with his wonted caustic humor,
has satirized the ignorance of the upper
classes by inscribing on it the following
ingeniously misspelled polite inquiry:
“Count Basset begs to no how Lade
Squander sleapt last nite.”
In a novel called the “Spiritual Quixote,”
published in Bath in 1766 —the scenes being
laid in that city in the time of Beau Nash,
who died in 1760—a preacher is called to ac
count because, while he is continually in
veighing against gaming, he has in hi*
pocket a pack of soiled cards ready for his
engagements or pleasures. A note says:
“A set of blank cards has since been in
vented by which the above absurdities may
be avoided ” This note seems to date the
eubstitution of visting cards proper for in
scribed playing cards. Nor must we over
look the passage In chapter xii. of “St.
Rowan’s Well, in which “the captain pre
sented to Lucky Dodds the fifth part of an
ordinary playing card, much grimed with
snuff, which bore on the blank side his
name and quality.” Whether Bon. John
tou’s expression, “You shall cartel him,”
points to an earlier use of these cards in
affairs of honor we do not take it on our
selves to decide.
The above may serve to indicate the
origin and development of visiting cards in
England. In this case London seems to
have shown the way to Paris, for there vis
iting en blanc (paying visits by cards in
filace of m person) did not take root till
770. In Venice, cm the contrary, visiti ig
cards were used in the latter port of the
sixteenth century, and there it was the
fashion to ornament them with engravings
of a high order, the most distinguished ar
tists not disdaining to design and execute
their embellishments. A collection of such
cards is preserved iu the museum at Vonioe,
pictures of some of which may be seen in
the Magazine of Art, 1884, page 275. The
fashion of having iltu -r,rated cards became
widespread, and pictorial cards were com
mon in the last part of the eighteenth cen
tury. That of Cauova represented a block
of marble rough hewn from the quarry
drawn in perspective, with his name in
scribed in large Roman capitals.
On the card of Miss Berry and her sister
—ladies well-known in London society—
were two nymphs in classic drapery point
ing to a weed-grown slab, like a tombstone,
bearing the engraving “MissJßerry.” One
nymph leads a lamb (agnus) to typify
“Agnes Berry.” “In the eighteenth cen
tury,” says an authority, “on the continent
visiting cards were a matter of taste and
art. The society of Vienna, Dresden and
Berlin piqued itself upou delicacy of taste,
and, instead of an insipid card with the
name and quality of the visitor inscribed
upon it, it distributed real souvenirs, charm
ing vignettes, some of which are models of
composition and engraving. The greatest
artists,Cassanova, Fischer and Baritiscb, did
not disdain to please fashionable people by
designing the pretty things that Raphael
Mengs engraved.
In visiting cards, as in so many other
things,China was long ages ahead of Enrope.
Bo far back as the period of the Tong
dynasty (618-907) such cards were in com
mon use in the “Flowery Land.” From the
earliest times the Chinese have observed the
strictest ceremony in the regard to the pay
ing of visits, the card they use being very
large and of a red color.
Jerusalem as a Trade Center.
From the London Times.
According to the report of the British
aousul at Jerusalem on the trade of that
town for the past year, it appears that ex
ports, notably those to the United King
dom, have increased, owing to a good
harvest, while there is a small decrease in
imports. Statistics are not obtainable, but
it is estimated that two-thirds of the goods
imported at Jaffa go to Jerusalem, which is
the market for the villages of the interior
and for the Bedouins. The chief industries
are the manufacture of a coarse soap sent
to Egypt, and of object* of devotion in
mother of pearl and olive wood, in which
considerable art is now displayed; £20,000
worth of these were exported in 1887 to
Europe and America. Tne Jewish immi
gration has been checked by a regulation of
the jiorte prohibiting Jews from settling in
Palestine, and restricting their residence in
tho country to a period of three months.
The culture of tho vine by German set
tlers is extending, and the quality of
tho wine produced is improving. The
price of land in the vicinity of
the city has continued to rise in price, the
'"“st fetching, on an average, 6 shillings the
square yard, which not many years ago
p ould have been obtained for a sixth of the
Pnce. This rise is due to the Jewish immi
gration before it was interfered with, to
the multiplication of religious establish
ments and educational and charitable insti
tutions, English, French, German and Bus
man, and to the desire to live beyond the
"'alls of an insalubrious and confined city,
l'ut the acquisition of land by foreigners is
subject to two disadvantages, for all
claims and questions concerning it are
settled by the native courts, the consul hav
ing no right to interfere, and the owner
cannot build on it witiiout the consent of
the government. German trade with Pal
estine is rapidly developing on account of
the large and prosperous German colonies
W'hieh have established thorns ives in Pales
fine, and the members of widen are invad
ing all branches of commerce, industry and
handicraft. The colonist* exercise a bene
ficial influence on the natives.
A STORY FROM INDIA.
However Thore is No Law Compelling
You to Believe It.
From the Boston. Home Journal.
A traveler trom India relates the follow
ing trick of the fakirs, which, if true, cer
tainly out-Houdinizcs Heudin. It is told so
to speak, from the front side of the gibe
eiere. A fakir makes a wager with some
skeptical person or persons, generally otli
co;of the British army, that he will allow
himself to be I uried in the earth “from
corn to corn,” a period of about six montns.
When the arrangem -nts are completed the
fakir betakes himself to his family, prob
ably for the purpose of going through a
course of tree.tmeut. He is then brought
forth dressed in the flannel which is tea
chief article of apparel among his class.
Every one who desires is permitted to wit
ness what occurs trom this point.
The man i- then laid upon the ground by
his brother fakirs and his tongue is thrust
upward and backward into his throat and
there secured. This is probably done, phy
sicians think, to prevent toe flow of saliva.
Ilis knees are then drawn up and his head
thrust down between them, bringing him
into as small a compass as possible, Li this
position he is allowed to remain until such
time as he becomes unconscious arid In
respiration imperceptible. It is supposed
that unconsciousness is produced by the
position of the tongue. He is then placed
in a rubber bag. to protect him trom all
moisture, and the bag is sealed up, By
this time physicians claim that he lias
passed through the comatose state and into
a state of coma, only one remove from
death.
The persons who have made the wager
are then allowed to select the spot in which
they wish the body buried, there being but
one restriction imposed upon them, which
is that they shall select a place slightly
elevated above the surrounding country in
order that the water or moisture may not
settle about the buried fakir. He is buried
in plain view of all. Over him the ground
is harrowed, and corn sowed and
reaped. In one instance where this
trick was performed the office's
who laid the wager ktpt two sentinels, w ho
were relieved according to regular military
custom, pacing over the body of the buried
fakir both night and day from the time he
was interred to the time he was exhumed
in their presence. When the six months or
thereabouts had expired the body was dis
interred and laid upon the ground in the
presence of a considerable audience. After
a short time the rubber bag was removed,
care being taken to keep the body always
on its right side, and another interval oc
curred.
Then the flannal covering was loosened,
and shortly after the tongue was brought
back to its proper position. Tho body was
then raised to a standing position and car
ried about between two fakirs until its limbs
became capable of motion. These demon
strations were continued but a short time
before the fakir, to the stupefacation of his
audience, walked up and down unaided
several times before them, and then
departed alone to his home, to
bo cared for by his family. Medical men
who were present at this experiment
and were allowed to examine tho fakir
when exhumed asserted t at they were un
able to detect the slightest evidence of cir
culation by feeling of the pulse or the heart.
It is known that the beet European chemists
are unable to teach chemistry to the learned
men of India, and that they have failed as
signally wherever they have attempted to
do so, as they have in their endeavors to re
produce certain Indian dyes, especially
Tvrean purple. And it is not impossible
that the east may be ahead of the west in
other lines as well.
A GIRL BLACKSMITH.
Firat-Class Horseshoes Made by 16-
Tear-Old Annie Bole.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
Among the exhibits of the Mechanics' In
stitute fair, few have more interest than
the dozen horseshoes to the right of the
main entranoe. These horseshoes, perfectly
shaped, handsomely polished and withal
scienticflcally correct, are the work of Miss
Annie Bole, aged 16 years.
Miss Bole is the daughter of a teamster
and lives in the rear of a blacksmith shop
at 911 Battery street, kept by a man named
Walsh. It was in this shop that an
Examiner reporter fouDd her yesterday.
Walsn said that the young lady had been
taught by him, and he was very proud of
his pupil.
“I’v6 seen dozens that tried it,” be said,
“but none of ’em had the natsrai talent for
making horseshoes that the young laddy's
got. Mis’ Huntington, that’s worth her
forty millions, made a good offer at it, but
couldn’t quite do it. Tnere ain’t a man this
side of Lunnou that could make horseshoes
like that young leddv.” At tho black
smith's request, Miss Bole made a horseshoe
then and tnere. A piece of round iron was
cut off by Mr. Walsh, and Miss Bole rolled
up her sleeves, thereby revealing a rather
small arm, lied on a leather apron, and
plunged the Iron into the fire. The youug
lady is about 5 feet 3 inches high and rather
fragile than strong. She brushed the hair
hack from a laughing face, and soon the
hammer was ringing on the red Iron with
a true sound. Sne made the crease in the
shoe, turned it into shape like a veteran, re
farilleas ef the flying sparks, drove the nail
oles, and finally turned out as fine a shoe
as ever maced tne foot of a race horse. For
Miss Bede will have nothing to do with
sboes for ordinary dray torsos, but confines
hers If exclusively to the finer shoes of com
position or polished iron.
Miss Bole said that she first became ani
mated with the idea of making horseshoes
bv watching the blacksmith. Finally she
asked him to let her try it, and he was so
much pleased with her first effort that he
showed her all that he knew, and the result
was the exhibit at the Mechanics’ Institute.
She says that she will not m ike any prac
tical use of her accomplishment, though
she seemed anxious about her exhibit and
several times asked: “Will I have to go
out to the fair and make a shoe there before
I get anything T' Her instructor confidently
expects that she will take a premium.
Ihe horsesnoes were filed, polished and
finished in her own little vise, which she
keeps in her own room. Mr. Walsh declares
that lie is going to send one of the horse
shoe* to the Queen of England.
M JUDICAL.
Liver Disorders
Boon cause the blood to become contam
inated and require prompt treatment.
The most marked symptoms are loss of
appetite, headache, pains In the back
or side, nausea, and relaxation of the
bowels. Ayer’s fills assist nature to
expel the superabundant bile and thug
restore the purity of the blood. Being
purely vegetable and sugar-coated, they
are pleasant to take, mild in operation,
and without ill effects.
“ After many years’ experience with
Ayer's Pills as a remedy for the large
number of ailments caused by derange
ments of the liver, peculiar to malarial
localities, simple justice prompts me to
express to you my high appreciation of
the merits of this"medicine for the class
of disorders I have named.” —S. L.
Loughridge, Bryan, Texas.
“I had tried almost everything for
chronic liver complaint, but received
no relief until I used Aver's Pills. I
find them invaluable.”- W. E. Watson,
