T!UE VISITING CARD CustomDates Back to the 'limes of the Ancient Egyptians—Quaint- est ,giiptians—Quaint-est Known Visiting The visiting eard of to -day has a eery long pedigree, and dates back to the times of the ancleut. Egyptians. It was not actually a card then, of course, says a Tit -Bits article, but took the form of a glazed ware tab- let, and was offered, when visits weir, being made, in mueb the same way as cards are in England to -clay. Not much „is .' known about this Egyptian custom, however, and the visiting card is really lost in anti- quity until it became a vogue in China during the seventeenth cen- tury. Chinese cards were then, and al- ways have been, much larger than those in general use in England, and more often than not they were high- ly colored; generally red. In this land of the East cards have always played an interesting part, particularly• in marriage arrangements. A Chinese, desirous of marrying acquaints his parents with the facet. and they, in tuns; hand the matter over to a professional matchmaker. This man selects a fitting bride inner a list he always has handy. and 1•;:en calls on the parents of the prOMP" (- tile bride and offers the y,)uii,' inn 's card. On this is inscribed one or two particulars, besides the name, in- cluding details of the man's birth and his ancestral home. If the suitor is approved the 11 rt'lo' card is sent to him in return, awl ultimately, if the oracles pr ophuey good, the marriage takes place. From the East the custom spread indirectly, if not directly, into Ger- many, and fromthere it found its way into France, and finally, in the latter part of the eighteenth century, it began to establish itself. in England. The cards of our near ancestors, however, were nothing like those in use to -day. Now we insist on sim- plicity, but then the cards were noth- ing if they were not elaborate, and for several years famous artists and designers found a ready practice to making new, and often grotesque, de- signs for their wealthy patrons. One practice was .that of having a pastoral scene painted on the card with the name hidden discreetly among flowers or trees and sometimes birds. At another time cards were used depicting happenings in the lives of their owners, and yet another fashion was that of having drawings of some popular hero, military or otherwise. Cards used by women were even more elaborate than those of the menfolk, and besides the full name and title they often bore the name and title which the 'woman possessed before her marriage. But the honor of making the quaintest known visiting card — if card it may be called—must surely belong to the Dutch painter, Frank Flores. He journeyed several miles once to see his friend, Aartgen, and finding, when he got there, that the friend was out, he is supposed to have drawn a figure of St. Luke on one of the walls. Returning later, Aartgen declared that no one but Flores could have been responsible for such a,drawing, anad accordingly he immediately set out to repay the visit.

Before the train had been made up, however, and in spite of the fact that it was. pouring rain, hundreds of youngster began to arrive at the station, and by the time the great Santa Claus steeped aboard his special car the station platform was a mass of kiddi.'•s, all scrambling for a candy or a handshake, from. the important visitor.

DROP IN ELECTRIC RATES ' AT WALKERTON As will be seen by the big adver- tiseinent on another page of . the Walkerton Eleotric tight sad Power CO'., a reduction for current here has been Made, and will be retroactive to' Nov. 1st, thus giving the Patrons fell benefit of ,the cut -on this month's bill. The greatest reduction is made on Commercial or store lights, which ar•e reduced from Sc, to 4c. for the first 100 k. w., and, froth 4e. to 2c. per' k. w. for the balance. 'A service charge of 40e. per• month for rental of meter, etc., will be found on the new bills. Residential or domestic rates drop from 7c. for the 1st 12 k.w. ,and 4c. for the next 50, k.w. to 4c, per kw. for the 1st 40 k.w. and 2c. per - k.w. for all additional current, with a service charge of 30c, per month extra. These ar•e practically the same rates as Hydro offered Southampton, and which the Company have met and are putting into force ••at Walk- erton, Port/Elgin and .Southampton commencing with Nov. 1st. The re- sidential rate represents -a drop of 15% while the reduction in power prices is approximately 10%. A cut of 50c. per light on all 'street lights of 100 watts is Also announced and as this comprises .;the vast majority of the street gleams in Walkerton the benefit to the tax -payers will be gen- eral. Whether Hydro will go the local Company one better on accent of the extra .quantity of juice used here as compared with Southampton, can only be seen when the Town Coun- cil gives Hydro an opportunity to submit their figures.• Of course, the talking point of the Hydrotes is that the town would eventually own its distributing system under the pub- lic ownership plan, which is not pos- sible under a privately controlled sys- tern. (Walkerton Herald -Times). Is the Horse Stupid? Many biologists maintain that the horse is stupid as animals go. They even argue that the cloven hoof al- ways indicates more brain than the solid. Nevertheless, the horse has not been the intimate friend of man through all these centuries for noth- ing. Whatever he does not know, he knows his friends; and you do not, discover how clever he is till he is ill, A particular' and very valuable horse which recently fell very ill, itirites an authority on the subject, lies down when the vet. enters his stable, turns his head and looks in- tently at the region where the pain is. He diagnoses as well as indicates his own pain, and most horses are ex- cellent xcellent and intelligent patients. No other animal is quite so sure that his master will help him if he can and that he can. If faith is a symp- tom of intelligence, then the horse is' among the most intelligent. At London he made a triumphal trip through the city, in a procesiine headed by a brass band, arid acconi- partied by thriusands of children 'anis oilier interested people, MASON'S DEDICATE HALL AT LUCKNOW A most interesting event in local IVlasoriry took place Friday evening when the most worshipful Hon.

This is. the 'famous iron crown of Lombardy, one of the most precious heir -looms of the Italian royal house. The crown is made partially of iron. Tradition de- clares that it was made from one of the nails used at the Crucifixion. This was beaten out into a thin rim of iron, which was set in gold and adorned with jewels. Pope Gregory bestowed it upon Queen Theodolinda, under whom the Lombards first changed their Arian faith for the Catholic. Charlemagne was crowned with it, and so were Henry of Luxem- burg and succeeding emperors. It was also used at the coronation of Napoleon I. The Emperor of Aus- tria restored it to the King of Italy in 1866.
