ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS CARD
It Is Said to Have Sprung From
"School Pieces" of Middle of
Nineteenth Century.
The Christinas card Is the legitimate
descendant of the "school pieces" or
"Christmas pieces" which were popu
lar from the beginning to the middle
of the nineteenth century. These were
sheets of writing p-.iper. sometimes sur
rounded with those hideous and elab
orate pen flourishes forming birds,
scrolls, etc., so unnaturally dear to the
hearts of writing masters, and some
times beaded with copper plate engrav
ings, plain or colored. These were
used by schoolboys at the approach of
the holidays for carefully written let
ters exploiting the progress they had
made in composition and cliirography.
Charity boys were large purchasers of
these pieces, says one writer, and at
Christmas time used to take them
around their parish to show and at the
same time solicit a trifle.
The Christmas card proper had Its
teutative origin in 1854. Joseph Cun
dall, a Loudon artist, claims to have
issued the first in that year. It was
printed in lithography, colored by hand
and was of the usual size of a lady's
card.
Not until 1SG2, however, did the cus
tom obtain any foothold. Then experi
ments were made with cards of the
size i\f an ordinary carte de viste. In
scribed simply "A Merry Christmas"
and "A Happy New Year." After that
came to be added robins and hody
branches, embossed figures and land
scapes.

Duty. 1
It has been asked what is at the •
present day the Duty of which we
have spoken so much? A complete re
ply would require a volume, but I may
suggest it in a few words. Duty con
sists of that love of God and man
which renders the life of the Individ
ual the representation and expression
of all that he believes to be the truth,
absolute or relative. Duty is progres
sive. as the evolution of truth; it is
modified and enlarged with the ages;
it changes its manifestations accord
ing to the requirement of times and
circumstances. . . . One period claims
the pen of the sage, another requires
the sword of the hero. But here, and
everywhere, the source of this is God
and his law—its object, humanity—
its guarantee, the mutual responsibil
ity of men—Its measure, the intellect
of the Individual and the demands of
the period—its limits, power.—Maz
zini.
To North Pole by Airplane.
An expedition to be led by Capt.
Robert A. Biirtlett, explorer and navi
gator of Peary's ship Roosevelt, will
be sent to the polar regions next June
to survey the North pole by airplane.
The plan was conceived by Rear Ad
miral Peary, discoverer of the pole.
Bartlett Is a Newfoundlander, forty
three years of age. He began explora
tions 22 years ago. wintering with
Peary in the Kane basin in 1897. He
commanded the Roosevelt in its fa
mous trip of 1905-9, reaching the
eighty-eighth parallel. He was with
the Canadian government arctic expe
dition In 1913-14; his vessel was
crushed by the ice, and Bartlett, with
17 others, reached Wrangel islnnd. He
left 15 there, and with one Eskimo
crossed to Siberia on the ice and re
turned with a rescuing party.
