The History Of Cards.

Mr.. George w. Pettes gave an inter,
esting lecture on Saturday evening at
the Mercantile Library Association
rooms, corner of fremont and West
Newton Streets, on "The History of
Cards and an Analysis of Whist" to
goodly number of members and their
gentlemen and lady friends. The lect-
urer said that the first known of cards
was in Hindostan some twelve cent
uries ago, when they were made
of sort of canvas bearing fig
ures and emblems of various sig
niticance, and that some of these are
yet to be seen in the Puniaub, although
very rare. In the reign of Charles
VII, cards similar to those of the
present day were used in France,
although the court cards were known
by different names, and in the reign of
Edward |. of England charges for cards
are found in the royal accounts, while
in 1902, in the reign of Queen Anne,
10000 reams of paper were used for
making playing cards. The use of
cards was made to afford information
and pleasure to the heather, and it was
Christian Europe that debased their
use by the introduction of gambling
and sharping Whist probably took its
name from a game called whisk or
swabbers, although the two were very
dissimilar, the one being noisy and the
other quiet and thinking game. In
England, Lord Folkestope and friends
revised the ancient game of whist, and
made the present long game of ten
points, and this was published in Ed
mund Hoyle's treatise in 1742, but he
was not the father of the game, being
only the patron saint of gamesters.
The game of short whist was conceived
by John Lorraine Baldwin, of England,
in 1864, and rules were then made for
its play, but the lecturer condemned it
as being far inferior to the full long
game, as also Il game of five points,
excluding honors, which is sometimes
played, and which he called mongrel
game. Mr.. Pettes claimed that Whist,
properly played, was one of the most
scientific of games. which, while it re-
quired close attention. was rest from
active business for the player. and was
peculiarly q game which showed the
disposition Of every man who played il,

How Great Things are Done.

The success in great things generally
depends upon the care and faithfulness
with which all the little details are done
This is true whether it be a serm oron
shoe factory, a play or printing
house, a picture or war.
The fact is strikingly illustrated by a
description Of the manner in which the
fastest railroad train on the continent
is run between New York and Phisa-
delphia, as described in the American
Mdchtf1iSt.
To accomplish the distance in the
time requires the most minute super
vision-the engine even down to the
oil cans, must be in perfect order, the
brake air-pump working, the valves,
Joints and reservoirs in exact condition.
To pass over what would be obviously
necessary in the skill and Judgment of
the engineer, there is the skill of the
fireman alone, whose neglect would
cause a serious difference in the time
which the train is Obliged to make
His coal is all broken into Jumps of
equal size; it is to be pitched, while the
engine rocks and leaps, to the right
spot in fire-boX ten feet long; only one
shovelful is thrown in at time, so that
the fire is not choked by too much fuel
us it would be by an unskillful fireman;
but every two minutes in goes the right
quantity at the right spot and the door
closed quickly
When the engine arrives at its desti-
nation there are only few inches of
glowing Goals left, so accurate is the
calculation by which the steam in the
boiler is kept to an exact and steady
degree of temperature, and the very
highest service got out of the engine in
consequence. 1t is in this way inyari-
ably that great and substantial achieve
ments in every department Of life are
gained.-DetrOH Free Press.

The Boy was All Right.

A clothing dealer down on Jefferson

of his store in a great rage yesterday
when an acquaintance halted and asked
him the cause of his excitement:

-'And you lose fifty centsp"
''Feefty cents! | discharge dot poy

In the course of an hour the pedes-
trian was repassing the store and seeing
the man at the door with smile on his
face he asked:
"Well, did you discharge the boy?"

UncOnsciOusness Of Dying Persons.


"a dying man may be burned with a
redhot iron and not feel PAIN Dr..
Crawford said to a reporter. Soon
seriousness may remain to the dying
almost to the dissolution, but generally
they lose the power of thought long be-
fore actual death. In cases of death in
which there seems to be suffering the
writing and spasms are due to reflex
muscular action. Fear weakens the
nervous system, and, consequently,
hastens death; and the reverse of fear
may prolong life" The doctor cited q.
medical report concerning Methodist
minister. He lay on the verge of death,
cold and pulseless, and friends around
his bed sang his favorite hymn. AS
they ceased, and while the physicians
stood timing the death, the minister's
hands moved, and he whispered,

that. He said he understood every
