There are no friends like the old ft-Teala,
World-wander as we may.
fbe heart grows young at the mystic spelt,
And lore at its ebb takes a wondrous swell.
As we drink from memory's dear old well,
And live over our life's young day.
There are no friends like the old friends,
Though soores of years away
There's a fresh blown flower, and a perfumi
rare.
That steals on the breath of the evening air
and age is lifted of grief and care,
With the friends of life's young day.
There are no friends like the old friends,
When we drank the sweet white wine
Of life's fresh draught, and we felt the thril1
Of a nameless purpose our great hearts Oil,
Tied on by the force of a boundless will,
The aroma of love's sweet wine.
There are no friends like the old friends.
Who've wandered on before ;
In some still hours we bear them eaU ;
Almost we hear their footsteps fall,
And we are reunited, all,
To the dear friends of yore.

A WORLD'S FAIR ROMANCE.
HE ticket
taker no
ticed, as she
came througl
the gate, that
she limped a
little. And
he noticed,
too, that she
smiled at him
plcaiantlr, which made him conclude
quite correctly that she was not Iron
the city, and that this was her first da;
at the Fair, and that it was a verj
great occasion, indeed, for her. He
was actually mean enough, was the
ticket taker, to keep his foot lingering
on the iron release a moment before he
let the turnstile swing to admit her,
just for tho sake of seeing her look
puzzled. The ticket taker might not
jave done this if it had been a busier
hour of the day. But it was still enrly
in the morning. There were few in the
Fair grounds yet, and the young
woman looked around in some surprise
at the almost . empty avenues that
stretched down between the buildings.
Her limp seemed really painful to
the ticket taker as she made her way
over to where a group of young
theological students stood silently
together by their "Gospel chariots,"
as the irreverent newspaper fellows
had dubbed their wheeling chairs.
Some of them were raw looking fel
lows, and appeared much more fitted
for the wheeling of chairs than the ex
ercise of oratory in the pulpit or elne
where. Somo looked rather weak and
inane, as if .they had not positiveness
of character to do anything but pray.
But there was one among them who
was standing straight on his legs, as an
athlete naturally does, and there was
something in the lines of his firmly
closed mouth and the pose of his head
that made the young woman go up to
him and ask him what the price of his
chair and his services were for the day.
Not that she had any need to ask, for
she had read all about it in the papers,
and calculated on it very carefully.
But she asked by way of opening the
conversation. The student took off
his bine cap and answered her slowly,
and with an accent of indifference
that somehow was not just what
Mary Stuart had been expecting. Hei
own blood was tingling in her veins.
It was almost unbelievable to her that
shews really at the Fair at last ihe
Fair which had been before her eyee
as "a sort of glorified vision for twe
years, and for which she had saved and
planned and sacrificed. It seemed tc
her that everybody must have been
working just as she had been to get
there, and that it was only natural that
their voices should be tingling with
enthusiasm. She felt for a moment at
if she would have liked to change hei
young man and get one who eeemed
less criminally indifferent to the glories
of the moment, but she was too shy to
, do that, and she made her bargain,
" and seated herself with some embar
rassment in the chair, blushing, as she
was rolled away, to feel that the eyes
it the young students were on her.
She was very light weight so light
that the well oiled chair, on its easj
bearings, impelled the pusher to walk
faster than he intended, and ho had tc
use a little resistance to moderate its
pace. The little black sailor hat she
wore had no trimmings but was swathed
in a fleecy black veil, as tho young
man noticed on looking downward.
The simple black gown hnd neither
crinoline nor flounces, as he noticed
alsp, but merely wide white cuffs and
eohar, and the high tan boots and
gauntlet gloves had been selected with
careful reference to each other. ODe
foot was a little shorter than the other,
s was evident even as they rested on
the little shelf on the chair. So much
the young man casually noticed, and
that the body was very slight indeed
and had a sort of tension in it as if
serves and muscles were on the alert.
'Where do you wish to go?" he
tsked perfunctorily, as he had asked
on many previous mornings of his
"fright." But the answer was not
forthcoming. Instead, the young
woman wheeled around in her chair
and looked up at him with some dis
refts on her pale face.
"I haven't an idea," she said,
haven't been here before. This is my
first day. I'll only have five days here. I
might have had seven, only it takes a
day to come and another to go. I
want to see just as much as I can. I've
been saving for two years to come here.
I'm a typewriter and a stenographer.
I can'; walk much at a time, or I'd
never have thought of taking a chair.
If it hadn't been for taking a chair it
wouldn't have been so hard for me to
come. But you see how it in. I
haven't been to school much. And I
thought I could get a good deal of ed
ucation here. l'erhaps you cau tell
me how. It's very important to me."
The morning wind blew her reddish
Drown hair about her face a little un
der the veil, and made her cheeks look
paler than ever. Xathan Ingersoll
stopped the chair and looked down Rt
her a moment. He had got in the
way, during his thirty odd days al
ready spent at the Fair, of keeping hie
personality well out of sight. At first,
to be sure, he had permitted himsell
some feeling of personal interest in tho
women he wheeled about the grounds,
and had ventured on a few occasioni
to forget that for the time being he
eras a paid servant, and had let hia
thoughts speak themselves in their ac
customed way. But he had suffered
three or four rather severe rebuffs,
over which he had good noturedly
smiled, saying they were really just
what he needed, and that they wer
good training. But all the Eame he
bad smarted under thorn, aad fur th
last two weeks had kept himself well
in hand, and been as indifferent to lh.t
persons he was pushing around th
ground as they were to him. New,
however, there seemed to corns into
sudden cxisien ca new condition.
Evidently this was a case that involved
some moral resposibility. And iDger
aoll was almost morbid on the subject
tLmoxal ressojisbilitr.
Jtlf
' The reS-Df own eyes; which matched
:he half curling hair so perfectly, were
still looking up at him. Ingersoll
smiled down at them with an unoon
tcious eloquence that eame from his
youth and his strength and his mascu
linity. "Til do my level best," he said
heartily, all of the indifference gone
out of his voice, r,and if yon don't see
what's best to see in the time you are
here, it won t be my fault.
"Oh." said Miss Stuart almost
Breathlessly, "do you mean it would
be possible for me to have you to
Uave this chair, I mean every dayr
Incrersol) laughed outright this time.
She was evidently very muoh confused
lest there should seem to be something,
personal in this request.
"You can have this chair ever
lay," he replied, "if you come at
early as you do this morning that is,
if no one gets me that is, the chair
before you do. I think I could manage
to keep in the background and not to
make any engagement until you came
if you think it will help you to see the
Fair systematically by having the same
ruide every day."
"That's exactly what I meant,
jaid Miss Stuart, gratefully. "It
would be such an economy of time and
energy. We would know just where
ire left oil; and wouldn't repeat o Ur
iel ves."
Of course it was a different day from
jthers. How could it be otherwise ?
411 the thoughts that had been stirring
in Ingersoll s mina insisted now in
breaking out of their shells and try
ing their wings now that he had
listener.
'It's the apex of the century," he
;ried enthusiastically. "This mass of
finished material, this marvelous
architecture, this meeting of the
Nations and the handicraft of the
Nations, this putting together of all
sorts of energies 1"
It sounded a little sophorino to be
iure. ile looKea down a little shyly
to see if Miss Stuart were laughing ;
he knew her name by this time. But,
so far from laughing, she had quite a
rapt expression, as if she were concen
trating all of her thoughts on the hour
indthe snrroundmgs. It got so after
time that she venturdd bits of con
fidence. "I've been in the same office threi
rears," she said once, "and the man
there has never said a word to me dur
ing all that time except to dictate let
ters. He doesn t even say good morn
ing when he comes in or good night
when I leave. I haven't missed a day
in that whole time, and have hardly
nade a mistake in my work. He payi
my salary, but he doesn't show an
other mark of appreciation. "
"The clam! ejaculated Ingersoll,
hich was, perhaps, a little thought
less of a divinity student.
One Christmas, went on Misl
ituart, feasting her eyes in rapture on
i case of German opals, "I thought I
arould see if I couldn't cure him of his
rrnmpinesa. I bought him a bunch of
oses and put them on his desk. W hen
le came he never even noticed them,
ind the next morning they were
;hrown out, though they couldn't pos-
ublv have been faded.
"Snch a man onght to " began In
gersoll, in a wrath that oould hardly be
ailed righteous, when suddenly Mist
stuart cried out that there was an opal
with a red light in it, and they went
;loser to look at it. She liked womanly
;hmgs. she almost trembled at the
tplendor of some of the jewels ; she
lever wearied of the china and the
narvelous tints of the glassware ; she
jointed out beauties in the laces and
embroideries that Ingersoll could not
possibly discover ; and she went into
he most outspoken raptures over the
Felix gowns.
"You're not one of those very im
jroved women who disapprove of fern
nine tilings, are you?" aaid Ingersoll.
"Oh, well," she said rather sadly,
'perhaps those improved women have
lad all of these fine things. Shall I
:ell you the truth? I never even saw
t great many things of this sort be
"ore. I think I'd juist as soon wear
;hem for awhile as not Then I eould
renounce them after awhile, and be
ust as superior as the other women. "
"It's a great year for women," said
"ngt rsoll, with just as much original
ly of manner as if there were some
;hing new in the remark.
"Yes," 6aid Miss Stuart, indiffer
ently, "but I know so few women. In
'act I know hardly any. I'm so busy.
Vnd there's only the women at the
hoarding house. And they don't care
nuch for me on account of my doinf
.ynowriting. Not that I mind."
"Of course not," said Ingersoll witr
xmviction.
By the end of the first day they had
lone a good part of the Liberal Artr
3uilding.
"It would take a week to do it prop
rly," Ingersoll explained, 'but we'r
adapting ourselves to circumstances,
ion't you see."
"I m so much obliged to you, cnea
Miss Stuart. "I don't know what I
would have done if I hadn't met you
or some one like you."
So ended the first day.
The next morning was dull and cold.
Beyond the peristyle the gray waves
dashed sullenly. The sky was like a
pall. But at the hour of 8 Mary
Stuart limped in the gate, wrapped in
a mackintosh and carrying an um
brella. Nathan Ingersoll stepped out
of the group of young men and helped
her to her seat. She spoke to him a
little coldly. Nathan was not a young
man of much experience. He thought
maybe he had been too familiar. He
resolved not to speak till she gave him
permission. She was determined not
to make a spectacle of herself again
that is what she told herself in the
night she had been doing. They went
to the picture gallery. He got her
catalogue for her, and took one from
his own pocket. They looked at the
pictures silently. When she motioned
to move on he obeyed her.
How was it that little by little the
silence which had begun in sullenness
began to be a delight? A fuller sense
of color and form seemed to break
apoii her. She wondered if the lone
liness and dissatisfaction she had al
ways felt had been because her life had
had so little beautiful in it. Every
moment she seemed to understand
these pictures better. She began to
notice how marvelous was color 1 How
full of wonderful gradations I Were
shadows like that? Were they ever so
purple? Was light on plains and
deserts white as those pictures showed
them to be? Were women so beauti
ful? Was love so poetical that paint
ers painted it always, and with sue h
passion? How fast life seemed to be
infolding 1
Her startled mind showed her sud
lenly the interior of the office where
the had sat for three long years, and
he felt again the silence not a si
lence such as Corot had painted, which
might at any moment be broken by
the wind of dawn rushing up through
the meadows, but the silenoe imposed
upon slaves ! Sho saw the immovable,
dull, yellow face of the man she worked
for the man who could not differen
tiate between the machine and th
woman, and thought of them both as

threw back her head and looked up a
her companion. She wanted to maki

He looked back at her without smiling
but with perfect comprehension. Anc
f,nm lAmAvhiTA there eame a wave ol
warmth, delicate and touched with
wntient joy, and passed oyer her body,
and seemed, someway, to bring with it
perfume and a song, and all the pic
tures swam for a moment in a goldez
haze fairer than that any of the artistt
lad put on their mountain tops.
Youth is an alchemist. He will maki
;old for one any moment, if he if
nly given the right materials
To follow the" evolution of a soul
who can do that?
One day came when these two poo
?le were saying always:
"It is the last day."
Anyone who could have heard these
anspoken words and the sorrow ol
them would have "supposed that on the
morrow creation would be destroyed.
That day whatever they said was flip
pant. They did nothing but jest.
"Has anyone ever been over then
to the south end of the grounds,
Mary asked. Ingersoll shook his heac
ioubtmgly.
"I hear they are thinking of send

want to know if he wouldn't be willing
to penetrate them.
They got endless amusement fron
the people. Mary could tell whenever
he met any one who was on his "first
lay." They did the Midway Plais
ance that day. The four ends of the
earth seemed to have been swept to
gether and dumped here. It was won
derful. It swept down little patriotic
distinctions and all narrow thoughts ol
locality. These men from the Soudan,
these mighty women from Dahomey,
these dancers from Asia Minor, these
tallow men from the spice-perfumed
isle of Java, these Eskimo women who
held their b-.bies close in their arms,
these dreamy eyed Bedouin, these
languid Turks were they not all the
ame? To live, to love, to laugh, tc
hope, to weep, to aie what difference?
Tis the same from Martinique to
Madagascar! Someway, Mary had
never thought of that before. The
vorld was getting very large to hex
And it was the last day I
That night she stayed on the grounds
instead of leaving at 6 o'clock, as she
had previously done. She wanted tc
tee the great basin lit by electricity.
Ingersoll invited her to supper, and
they ate together in the Polish restau
rant, though since they had an Irish
stew, they might as well have eaten
anywhere else. But they didn't much
notice what they ate.
The light was not yet quite out o
ihe sky, when 100,000 persons stood
together in silence around the still
lagoon that runs from the Administra
tion Building, waiting waiting for a
thing so much a part and parcel ol
this century that never can the one be
spoken of in ages to come and be dis
associated from the other. The sky
was a cold blue. Against it the ex
quisite building with dome, and slop
ing lines, and statue and tower, out
lined themselves clearly and delicately.
Beyond the peristyle the blue lake
gleamed, and in the east there hnng a
star. The great white mountain poured
fta musical streams of water down the
gleaming steps. The gondolas drifted
back and forth noiselessly on the
'.agoon. Schubert's "Serenade, ol
Ul thing in the world, came softly
lown through the space, throbbing
rith passion.
Suddenly there was a transforma
iion. From white dome and peristyle,
from colonnade and water's edge, frorr
pillar and freize, gleamed out in on
startling second innumerable pomu
f fire, bright as gold, pieroing in their
ntensity.
It was the climax ! This was th
oest the century had done. Thii
magic thing, born in the clouds, har
nessed, tamed, trained, subjugated,
made man's best messenger, his il
luminator, his intelligencer, his
notive power electricity the ma
terial triumph of the age !
Whiter than ever looked the build
mgs, colder and bluer than ever th
arching sky. And like a million neai
familiar stars gleamed the incandescent
lights, and from the heart of th
lagoon poured the waters, lit with fix
nd tinted like the rainbow.
If it had been any other time it
might not have meant so ranch to th
two people who stood there among the
throng in silence watching it. But as
it was well, as it was, the beauty and
the throbbing serenade, and the mar
vel of it all, and the subtle, thrilling
magnetism of the great crowd
brought about an emotion no more to
be restrained than the falling of the
green waters over the Niagara. Inger
soll stood beside the ohair and
dropped a hand on that of Mary. She
did not look up. She had known h
was going to do it.
How long could you be patient,
he said, softly, "a year?"
"A thousand years.
It was hard that there should have
oeen a nnnarea inousana persona
present. Though, come to think of it,
one spectator would have been just a
bad.
"I won't mind the old curmudgeon,
she said. She meant the man shf
rorked for.
I'll write every dav," he said. Ht
instinotly offered a compensation.
The people on the great porches oi
the Administration Building were
shouting their applause of the scene
below. The torches flamed around
them and made them look like brown
ies, as they threw up their arms and
waved their hats. Ingersoll ana Mary
watched them, with their hands claspel
light
"It'll take me a year to finish col
lege," he said. "You know what 1
told von about my prospects. I think
I m a very fortunate ieiiow.
He wasn t, in comparison with a good
nany men. But it's all in the point of
view. Good fortune is merely a matte
of opinion.
Later on he wheelea toe cnair toward
ihe gates. The crowd poured along
toward the Illinois Central train. In
gersoll said some wonderful things
then. Mary wondered how mere words
could seem so beautiful. Ha felt him
self thrilled by his eloquence. - It gave
him courage to think he might be a
great man when he got in the pulpit.
What he was really saying was: "1
love you." When the sky is blu
enough and the summer wind blows,
and the night is present these) wordt
may come to seem like the lyric of thr
greatest poet.
"I suppose you found the Fair verj
educational?" said Mrs. Van Doosen,
wife of the local jeweler, at the dinnei
table, when Mary had got back to the
boarding house. Mary's red brown
eyes swam suddenly with a sort of mist
"Yes, I did," she said softly.
She waited for Mary to say some
thing more. But Mary had nothing
more to say.
"What a stupid liiila thing," thought
ihe jeweler's wife. "What good doe
it do people of that sort to go to the
Fair?" Ella W. Feattie, in

The most beautiful spot in all this eity is
'nseparably associated with the name ol
Haekley. Chas. IL Hockley has been In the
'umber business hero continuously since
1856. and in that time has amassed a fortune
whleh gives him a rating among the wealthy
men of tho nation. But with wealth there
tld not oome that tightening of the purse
strings which to generally a marked eharae
etistle of wealthy men.
It is no wonder then that tho name o.
Charles H. Haekley is known at home and
abroad. His munifloence to lluskegon
alone represents an ontlay of nearly half a
million. Tor the pant twenty years he has
been a constant sufferer from neuralgia and
rheumatism, a'so numbness of the lower
limbs, so much so that it has seriously Inter
fered with his pleasure in life. For some
time past bis friends have noticed that he
has aeemefl to grow young atrain ano io

youth.

"with rutins in mv lower limbs so severely
that the only relief I could get at night was
rV putting COM water compresses on my
limns. I was bothered more at night than
in the day time. The neurnlrie and rheu
matic pains In my limbs, which had been
growing in intensity for years, finally be
eame chronic. I made three tripe to the
Hot Springs with only partial relief, and
then fell back to my original state. I
eouldnt sit still, and my sufferings began to
make my life look vary blue. Two years o
last September I noticed an account of Dr.
Wllllama' Pink Pills for Pale People and
what they had done for others, and some
cases so nearly resembled mine that I whs
interested, so I wrote to one who had given
a testimonial, an eminent professor of music
in Canada. The reply I received w.is even
stronger than the printed testimonial, and It
gave me faith In the medicine.
"I began taking the pills and found them
to be all that the professor had told me they
would be. It was two or three months be
fore I experienced nny perceptible better
ment of my condition. My disease was of
such long standing that I did not expect
speedy recovery and was thankful even to
U relieved. I progressed rapidly, however,
towards recovery and for the last six months
have felt myself a perfectly well ran. I
hate recommended the pills to many people
and am only too glad to assist others to
health through the medium of this wonder
ful medicine. I cannot say too much for
vhat it has done for me."

The Trail of a Moose.
The trail of a moose, leading some
mes for miles together through a net
work of fallen debris, the labor of fol
owing him, and to do go climbing
rcr and under the innumerable fallen
ogs and interlacing brandies, may be
nore easily imagined than described
lowever weary the hunter may be, h
nust never for one instant relax his
aution, and in those large silent woods
lever, if possible, break a stick.
The moose has an intensely acut
jnse of hearing and smelling, and as,
if course, despite all his caution, when
mnting before the snow has come, the
mnter, although moccasin -clad, must
ireak sticks sometimes, he finds f re
cently, after working his way on thf
rail through one of these horrible
voods, that on reaching the other side
he quarry has started off across a milt
f open prairie to seek the shelter ol
i similar cover on the other side.
As the moose, even when undis
urbed, is a tremendous walker, brows
rig on the low willows as he goes,
here is no knowing when or where he
will stop again. Things being thus, it
ollowa that the days when there is a
high wind are the best by far forhunt
ng. Then in the crashing of the fall
ng branches and the rattling of the
imbs of the trees the wary brute gett
jareless, and in easier of approach.

nas progressed so'far as to induce repeated
bleeSings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ
ing tubercular matter), great loss of flesh
ind extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by "Golden Med
ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease ? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the nest
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery,"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these

Case of the Baling Passion.
Human nature is a queer tiling. A
man died in New Jersey not far from
here lost week who waa worth $100,
000 and had no near relative. About
an hour before he died he asked for a
workman who occupied a little house
on the place. The physioian and nurse
surmised that now the dying Dives was
about to give that little home to the
workman who had been faithful bo
many years. "Lazarus," aaid the dying
man Dives (that was not the workman's,
name, however), "you only paid me
$4 on the last rent, and in case I die I
want to have things straight, you know,
so I'd like you to pay the other $2.M
The money was paid, and a few min
utes after clutching it Divea breathed
his last apparently happy. Philadel

r peaking of the Dutch process of preparing
Cocoa by the addition of potash, and of the
process common in Germany in which ammo

processes is to make the liquid appear turbid

a real solution of the Cocoa substances. This
artificial manipulation lor the purpose or so

)NQO RIVER..
i. Ksoira from Its soar
to the Sam.
The second in yolame of tho grea'
rivers of the world Is known at last
from its main source to the sea, says
the New York Sun. Seventeen years
KO Mr. Stanley paddled down the
Congo for 1,200 miles and hauled his
boats around 300 miles of rapids. Since
that time no part of the world has been
the field of so many explorations. We
are now indebted to Mr. Mohun, our
sonsul on the Congo, for filling up the
last gap in the preliminary survey of
the main river.
About two years ago Alexander Del
;ommune followed the Lukuga Eiver
to the Congo. This river was long a
puzzle. Geographers were divided in
jpinion as to whether it was the outlet
jf Lake Tanganyika. It was twenty
fears after the lake was discovered be
fore exrjlanation had conclusively es
tablished the fact that its waters flowed
westward through the Lukuga, in
tracing this river to the Congo Delcom
mune did what many an explorer has
been compelled to do: He applied the
ponge to the map of Africa, besides
sdding details to it. The Arabs had
jaidthat the Lukuga and the Congo
mingled their waters in a large lake
aamed Landji. The Belgian explorer
proved that this was not so, and Lake
Landji is now disappearing from its
familiar place on the African maps.
No traveler had ever traced the Con
;o between its junction with the Lu
kuga and Tippu Tib's old town of Kas
longo, which several explorers have
made well known. This is what Mr.
Jttohun has done. He has added about
sighty- five miles of surveys to the
maps. His discoveries are purely of
geographical interest, for this stretch
if river adds nothing to the Congo's
importance as a commercial highway.
In no other part of the Congo's course
tiavs rapids and cataracts been found
so numerous and crowded so closely to
gether. Awhile ago we could not have saia
AiatMr. Mohun's journey completed
the preliminary survey of the Congo,
because it was not then known whether
the Luapula or the Lualabia branch of
the upper Congo was the better (entitled
to be known as the main river. Del
:ommune's investigation showed, how
ever, that at the point where these
rivers meet the Luapula supplies much
the larger quantity of water. The Lu
ilaba, not yet completely known, is
therefore the tributary, and the little
river Chambesi, which rises near the
northern end of Lake Xj-assa, and after
passing through Iike Bangweolo be
;oiues the Luapuala, is entitled to fame
is the head stream of the mightiest
-i-ir in Africa.

Old Visiting Cards.
fo0 fiftr yi-s nrn, whin a house
A lleau bUeet, Soho, was being re
paired, on removing a marble chimney
piece in the front drawing room, four
ar five "visiting" cards were found,
ne with the name of Isaac Newton on
t. The names were all written on the
backs of common playing cards. The
louse in Dean street was the resi-
lence of Hogarth or his father-in-law.
In "Marriage a la Mode," (Plate 4.)
iis celebrated picture by Hogarth sup
plies an additional proof of play
ing cards having done duty as
visiting cards and cards of invitations
luring the middle of the last century.
There are several lying on the floor in
the righthand corner of the picture.
One is inscribed: 'Count Bassett beers
to no how Lade Squader slept last
Qite." Soon after this period some par
ticularly ingenious individual hit upon
the idea or. supplying iantastically-3and-written
cards to the "nobility and
jentry," and very elaborate and gor
geous specimens of stationery and cali
graphy these same cards were.
Then the inevitable evolution set in,
ind cards soon developed into respect
able specimens of the engraver's art,
ind, though various changes took place
in the shapes and sizes, eventually the
sensible cards, as used at the present
lay, soon took a hold on tho public,
and the neatest and plainest have re
mained the fashion. But the fantastic
and absurb reigned for some considera
abla time, and stationers vied with
each other as to who could produce the
most elaborate. The present writer
has seen some of the earlier cards quite
ten inches long by six inches broad,
with lace bordering. Notes and Quer-
es.
