HIS LATEST INVENTION.


''Pigs in clover" was introduced about
twenty-five years ago, under the name
of ''la petite bagatelle,,' and it had quite
an extensive run. 1t was copyrighted,
but after the expiration of the copyright
some enterprising individual named ii
''pigs in clover" and its popularity re-
vived
The famous 14-15 puzzle was originally
designed as an advertising medium, and
some 10000, 600 were utilized for that
purpose before it was sold as a game.
His latest invention is ''blind luck. !"
It has occupied the originator eight
years of study, and has passed through
some hundred various forms before the
present one was finally selected. Its
name is peculiarly happy one, and it is
the most simple looking affair it is pos
sible to imagine There is nothing
mathematical in its appearance. The
game consists in placing half dozen
little sticks upon numbers from one to
six, arranged upon horseshoe design.
The numbers have the appearance of the
face of dice, there being four ones and
so on until four skies are reached. The
game is to try and make fifty-one or pre-
vent your opponent from making it.
Each player plays alternately.
The mystery in the game is to explain
why it is that the more you look at it
and study it, the greater is the certainty
of your being beaten by one who plays
haphazard and depends entirely upon
his luck to win.
P. T. Barnum invested thousands of
dollars in advertising his show through
the medium of the pony puzzle and the
trick donkey puzzle. So did many others,
though not ON the same colossal scale.
There is scarcely novelty publishing
house that is not more or less familiar
with this puzzle inventing genius.

HE INVENTS PUZZLES
A MAN WHO is RESPONSIBLE FOR
MANY BRAIN HACKERS.

He Is Mathematician, Chess Expert.

the "Trick Donkey"

vent something that has caused the ban
ishment of sleep from the eyes of hun
dreds of his victims, who have at vari-
Gus times become martyrs to his invent
i've genius
The person referred to Is a mathema-
tician, chess expert, a ventriloquist, a
a prestidigitator and a journalist. He is
also member of the New York Press
club, and has provided entertainment
for hundreds of thousands of persons.
His genius, however, is more especially
employed in inventing puzzles, both of a
mechanical and mental kind. His name
is Samuel Lloyd. He has during the
past twenty-five years invented over 500
various problems, the names of the lead
ing games having become famous
throughout the length and breadth of
the United States and even in Europe.
This gentleman is the inventor of the
celebrated 14-15 puzzle, parchesi, the
pony puzzle, the trick donkey puzzle,
the pigs in clover and many others. He
has recently copyrighted his latest in
vention, which he calls "blind luck,
and which he pronounces to be the best
of them all.
HOW BE THOUGHT OF ONE.
Mr.. Lloyd recently gave several inter
esting particulars in relation to his many
games. Parchesi was invented in 1865,
and the idea came about in rather curl
ous way. A Broadway merchant had
bought quantity of gayly tinted paper
remarkably cheap, and not knowing what
to do with it had suggested to the puzzle
inventor that the colors might be utilized
in making up an attractive game. In a
few hours the various combinations of
colors were deity utilized and ''par-
chesi" was the result.
In 1869 the "trick donkey" came to
light. This was developed by accident.
The inventors father and himself were
crossing from Europe in the company of
a distinguished Pennsylvania. The lat
ter's daughter, Annie, then a little girl
about 10 years old, being in need of some
amusement, the inventor took pair of
scissors and a rough silhouette outline of
donkey, cut it away from the body of
the paper, and left it to little Annie to
put together again. With few later
improvements the puzzle assumed the
form made familiar to many thousands
of young people.
Although this happened twenty-five
years ago the reporter saw letter writ
ten quite recently by New Jersey firm
requesting that 100000 copies of this
puzzle be sent to them. OF the three
puzzles considerably over 1900. 900 each
were sold at profit of about 100 per
cent.

In this issue we publish contribution
upon the subject of Rev. Father MolIinger's
marvellous power of relieving the physical ills
of the human body. Our contributor has
lived in Allegheny City. Pa, where Father
Mollinger is located. and he differs some
what with others who have described the
reverend doctor and his work. The prin-
cipal difference is in regard to the priests
knowledge OF medicine. According to our
contributors information Father Mollinger
had never studied medicine until after he
had entered the priesthood. A correspond
ence to the Nashville American says that
the reverend father was an eminent German
physician before he took the oaths of the
priesthood, and that he claims his powers
from three sources: From God direct: from
the judicial use of medicines: from self
sacrifice. He does not cure all who go
to him nor does he pretend to be able to do
so. 1t seems to US that is cures are nothing
more than the results of sound medical
practice. He prescribes the drugs needed,
imposes wise hygienc rules and. above all,
inspires his patients with strong confidence
in their speedy restoration to health
