CURIOUS, MEANINGS AND CALCULATIONS.
The actual and authentic "history of playing cards only goes back about 500 years, and variods: theories bave' been mooted as to the source from which Europe obtained them.
It is an established fact that in past ages, Eastern people, notably those of India, Chine, and Chaidos portéssed canda which dif- fered materially, both in use and design, from there known in the West at a later date. There seems litle doubt that the " Wish Man of the East" regarded their cards as a medium for partial revelation of the Unknowable, and in- cinded them as part of theirfmystic lors..

ast cards were the "tarols." Cartomancera and occullets trace there to the remotest past. The science of hieroglyphics was bared opon an alphabet in which gods' wars letters, letters „Idens, idaus numbers, and numbers, parfect signs. This alphabet dates from the days of Abraham and la called the famous "Book of Thoth" (at least so it is supposed). Someone had the idea of adding numeral to the nym. balical cards, so as to use them for gamer. This was done about the middle of the fpur. teenth century; at the beginning of the fifteenth century, a pack in Venice was composed of seventy-eight cards, twenty-two symbols and fifty-six numerals, four coat (court) cards-a king, queen, chevaller, and valet-and ten polot, or pid, cards to each suit. The Bity.six were reduced to the post number by the rejection of one of the picture cards. Tha Spaniards abolished the queens, but the French kept the dame and rejected the chovaller. Tho early Germas cards were the same as the French, but the queens were again rejected in favour of a superior name called Obermang. England accepted the Spanish or French pack As she found it.
