MAKING PLAYING CARDS.
Processes by Which the King, Queen, Jack
and the Rest of Them Are Produced.

1t is surprising the great number OF
playing cards that are used. One
factory alone, in Ohio, turns out an
average of $4,000 packs day. The
owner attributes the present great de.
mand principally to the progressive
euchre craze, and SAYS that the Amer
leans are the greatest people on the
globe for amusements at cards. A re-
porter of the Cincinnati ISmes-Star.
who visited the establishment. was told
in answer to numerous queries about
the ways of manufacturing the cards:
much of the process is a secret with
us, but still can tell and show you a
great deal. The bristol cardboard for
making the cards consists of two sheets
glued together by being passed between
two immense rollers. The cardboar
must then be dried. pressed, glazed and
prepared for further work. The card.
board is prepared in sheets large
enough to contain whole pack of play.
ing cards.
whats this?" asked the newspaper
man, as he saw large revolving ma
chine turning out endless-or seeming
ly SCROLLS of white paper, with one
side printed the color of variously fig
uIcu CdllCO.
Its the process of printing the
paper which is to be pasted on the back
of cheap playing cards. It's printed
just as calico printing is done. All, OF
nearly all, cheap playing cards have a
calico-colored back. This lengthy strip
of calico-colored paper is subsequently
cut into sheets about three feet in
length to correspond to the sheets OF
bristol cardboards."
''Are the various colors on cards
printed on the cardboard?"
Sometimes. See this glazed face
on the sheets of cardboard? Well is
now ready for printing. The printing
is fine art, too. as so many colors are
often put on at one impression. After
being printed the sheets are dried and
then sent to the cutting machines to be
cut into strips as wide as playing
card is long. These strips are care.
fully assorted, measured and then
passed to the 'punchers,' or machines
which punch or cut out the separate
cards. every one of which must be
punched separately, great care being
necessary in order that the punching is
done accurately. otherwise the margin
of the cards will not be true and they
will present an ugly appearance. The
punching is a wonderful process and
the machines which do it are almost
human-like in their motion and dexter.

OF sucn. larger and more brilliant than
those We are accustomed to in our
northern latitudes, load the air with
the sweetest scents. At sundown
again there is revival of life, but not
of so cheerful disposition. The
tree-locusts in myriads shrek their
deafening ''p-r-r-r-r-r'; drowsy opos-
sums snarl in the gum-holes. and hocks
of cockatoos scream as some great gray
kangaroo bounds past them like be-
lated ghost. If there is marshy ground
near, the deep boom of the bittern, the
wall of the curlew, the harsh cry of the
crane, mingling possibly with the
strident screams of returning flock OF
black swans, will add to the concert.
In a moment of silence one may be
startled by the mocking laughter OF
the jackass or the prolonged howl OF
the wandering dingo. The dead OF
night is not so still as the universal
quiet of midsummer noon.

Ancient Feet.

A noticeable thing about the statues
found in our museums of art. supposed
to represent the perfect figures of
ancient men and women, is the ap-
parently disproportionate size of their
feet. We moderns are apt to pro-
nounce them too large, particularly
however, that for symmetrical Derfec-
tion these feet could not be better. A
Greek sculptor would not think of such
a thing as putting 4 nine-inch foot on a
Observation-Disclosures woman. Their
types for these classical marble figures
were taken from the most perfect
forms of living persons. Unquestiona-
bly, the human foot, as represented by
these old sculptors, was larger than
the modern one, and, in fact, the prim-
tive foot of all people of whom we
have any record either in printing or
statuary, was considerably larger than
the restricted foot of modern times.
The masculine foot. forming an ap-
proximate average of four different
countries, was about twelve inches
long. This would require at least
No. y or 13 1-2 shoe to cover it COM
fortably. The average masculine foot
to-day IS easily fitted with No. IL
shoe, and is therefore not above ten
aud seven-sixteenths of an inch. Now.
by the old sculptural rule of proper
ton, a man five feet nine inches in
height should have foot eleven and
one-half inches long. or one-sixth his
height. It was of no great conse-
quence what size sandal he wore, but
he would have required modern shoe
of at least No. II for real comfort.
For women, allowing for the difference
in the relative size of the two sexes,
which was about the same then as
now. a woman of five feet three inches
in height would have had foot ten
inches long, requiring a modern shoe
it ought to be spoken only in whis-
per--No. 6 as the most comfortable for
that foot or No. 5 1-2 as the limit of
torture. The reason for the difference
between the old classical foot and the
modern one is obvious. Restriction
is what has done it.

A Japanese Romance.

In an account which he gives of
visit to Count Ito. one of the most
famous of modern japanese statesmen,
Sir Edwin Arnold relates the following
incident in the history of the count:
At the time of the fierce strife which
arose between the partisans of the Sho-
gun and the loyalists, who were for re-
establishing the ancient regime, Count
Ito was paying his addresses to the
lady who is now his wife, and while he
was fugitive from his enemies there
came a time when they had tracked
him to her house and had chosen band
of soshis to assassinate him. The
noise of their dogs and the rattling of
their scabbards was heard, and the
count, trapped like royal stag in his
mountain pleasaunce, drew his Bizen
blade and prepared to die as Japan
ese lord should, amid circle of dead
foes. But while he murmured 'Sayon-
ara" and knitted his fingers round the
sharkskin hilt of his sword. the brave
lady whispered: do not die; there is
hope STILL" upon which she removed
the hibatch or trebox, over which they
were sitting. and lifting up the mating
and the planks beneath, induced her
lover to conceal himself in the hollow
space which exists under the floor of
japanese houses. The murderers
broke into the room-a ferocious band
Just as the firebox had been replaced
and the countess had assumed a
position of nonchalance. They de-
manded their victim, and when she
protested against their intrusion. and
babe them search if they wanted Ito,
the wretches dragged her about the
apartment by her long, beautiful black
hair-now touched with silver-and
grievously maltreated her. but could
not shake her resolnte fidelity. Thanks
to this Count Ito. the hero of many an
other strange adventure. escaped from
the chief peril of his career, and has
lived to give his country new con-
stitution and to be one of the foremost
and best reputed statesmen of modern

Beautiful Ecuador Women.

The females of Ecuador are provcrb-
ial for beauty. those among the aristo-
cracy being said to have the fairest
compilations of any in South America,
while all possess large, soft and ex.
pressive dark eyes, the blacklist and
most abundant hair, the whitest teeth,
and feet. Like all women in the
tropics, they mature early and fade
quickly, but perhaps their average span
of forty years includes more heart
happiness than comes to women OF
colder climes in three score years and
ten, for these are harassed by no
''carking cares or high ambitions.
Indolence, religious superstition, and
faithfulness unto death are their most
prominent characteristics their passion
ate natures are completely satisfied in
the love of home, husband and children,
and for them the whole universe lies
within the limits of vision. What
higher praise could be bestowed upon
the women of any country? To be
sure, they are notoriously untidy in
dress and habits, but the manta OF
paneulon, like the mantle of charity,
covers a multitude of sins. As the
puncho, for men. is the universal and
most useful garment for the middle and
lower classes. answering for coat by
day, coverlid by night, an umbrella
when it rains and basket when there
is anything to carry, the female manta
IS worn by all classes and is equally in
dispensable, sinces it hides unkempt
hair and all defects of toilet. t.-EcuadoY

Oriental Ideas of Punctuality.

The Indifference to time characteris-
tic of orientals was illustrated in many
amusing ways when first railway
was opened in a new part of India.
Nothing but bitter experience could
convince the natives that train, un.
like the bullock wagons they had been
accustomed to. would not wait an in
definite time to pick up passengers.
The deputy commissioner had on one
occasion. shortly after the opening of a
new line, sent his servant with his Of
ticial letter-bag to meet the train. and
was much annoyed at seeing the man
presently returning with it, having
missed the train.
you had not half a mile to go,
and you know that the train left the
station at o'clock"
"Yes, truly, your majesty" replied
the man in an aggrieved tone, ''but
when it strikes three the train goes
from there"
That was sharp practice of which he
had no previous experience, and it was
evident that he did not think it very
creditable to the Temple
Bar.

1t was a case of love at first sight,
but the girl didn't know how I felt,
neither was l sure that she cared

retiring. bashful little thing. and while

her. But she was SO shy 1 thought it
would frighten her away if l spoke.
