Japanese Swords.

People whe are fond Of rumaging
about in curio shops are no doubt sur
prised at the cheapness of Japanese
swords. They are cheap because they
are plenty. When the mobiles threw off
the native customs and adopted Euro
pean ways they took to European Gus
toms also and seemed to acquire dis
taste for many of the things that had
been personal or house belongings.
The short, Aeedle-pointcd, raxor-edged
swords wern by the danios and their
retainers, though of the finest steel
and ornamented, were discarded for
English sabers and dress swords and
came to this country by thousands. In
San Francisco a dozen years ago they
were heaped in boxes and tubs and
were sold for less than one dollar a
piece. The price has advanced little
since then, the values running from
two dollars to ten dollars. according to
the condition of the blade, the rich
ness of lacquer on the scabbard, the
ornamentatiOn in gold and bronze on
the handle. But plenty of good ones
are still to be had. One cranky freak
of collectors is to break up the weap-
ons, preserving only the bronze and
iron guards, which are often decorated
with flowers and figures of exquisite
workmanship in gold and silver. One
man in New York has dismantled over
five hundred swords for this purpose
and wants more.-N. Y. Sun.

'Solly has again won by a fuke." It

critics have always been wide of the

A goldenrod festival yesterday
brought out the pretticst costumes

Gus flower exist if it didn't remind one
of the coming of the winter? The gold
of it is so dazzling, the spray SO
feathery and the combination Of it with
the deep red of the cardinal flower so
satisfying to every eye that cares for
color and cares warmly.
Brown earthen pots filed the YER
andas and the hall and the drawing

and the graceful flower rose up
from out them and nodded cordially.
A tall, slim girl with red brown hair
wore well thing I detest, though
now and then it is not unbecoming-
black gown. Hers was soft thing
of crepon with black chiffon ruff1es for
the neck, edged with narrow white
Valenciennes. 1 think it must have
been the Valenciennes which saved the
toilet, for in general black is as odious
as it is convenient, and that is saying
a very great deal.
The oldest frock on show, and yet
not at all bad one, was made OF
deep pink silk with wide black ribbon,
with large sailor collar at the open
throat and with broad band at the
waist line. A black picture hat was
worn with it, with great wild pink
hollyhocks tumbling from the crown.
White and green is a curious costume
combina ton, or would be curious in
any season less catholic in its choice of
colors. Yet a white and green en-
semble can be made most picturesque.

WHERE OLD PLAYING CARDSSGO.
Perhaps You Think the Servants Get
Them, But They Don't.

Them, But They Don't.
Onloolers in the card rooms of clubs,
gaming resorts and similar institutions
have sometimes asked what became of
the soiled playing cards after they
were cast aside in such places. The
number of new packs of cards called
for in fashionable club or prosper
GUS gambling house is enormous. A
pack may be used through an entire
evening, but it frequently happens
where high stakes are being played for
that half dozen new packs will b
called for in a single game in tho
course Of night. AS none but cards
of excellent quality are used, and as a
player for stakes has a right to de-
mand fresh pack whenever his ca
price or superstition prompts him, the
keeper Of gambling house finds the
cost of providing them considerable
item of his running expenses
What is done with soiled cards? You
may think the servants get them. But
they don't. There is a traffic in them
which in the course of year in
city like New York or Chi
cago amounts, to quite fig
ure. The cards that have been
used are carefully saved and sold
to regular buyer, who contracts to
take all that the proprietor may have
to offer during the year or season. As
a rule these cards are but little soiled,
many of, them having been used for
perhaps less than a dozen desls. The
buyer, who conducts a regular bust
ness, sorts them, cleans them as well
Us he can. replaces missing cards from
great stacks of odd cards kept for that
purpose, puts them into the original
wrappers which have been saved for
him, and then resells them. His GUS
toners are mostly second and third
rate social clubs, or non-gcInbling
clubs in smaller cities and retailers
who can be persuaded by low prices
to purchase in large quantities. Nine
packs out Of ten of these cards will
pass anywhere as strictly new ones,
so carefully are they cleaned and re-
stored, and for all practical purposes
they are just as good as if they were
strictly fresh. l know a swell club in
busy city in the interior which is
noted for its unlimited supply of first
class playing cards. Outsiders marvel
at its extravaganza in providing what
seems to be brand new pack for
every game of whist, pedro, eucher or
poker that starts in it's card rooms. As
a matter of fact the cards all come
from the secondhand dealer in New
York and cost about six or eight cents
pack in large sets. 1t enables that
club, as it doubtless enables others, to
make great deal of show for very
little money.-N. y. Herald.

A BAD PLAN TO scoLD.
1t Makes Women Grow Older Than The
Years.


It Makes wome. Grow Older Than Their

Not long ago man was seen to take

sugar
Mercy exclaimed his friend, show
could you do that?"
Every easily; have been accustomed

it about the time had discovered that
/ had married scold. One dose was
as bitter as the other; now I can
swallow either without giving it a
thought"
Not very gallant speech, but WON
derfully suggestive.
The most deluded mortal in the
world is the woman who fancies that
much is gained by scolding, or whining,
or complaining. She may seem to gain
her ends for while flor at first one
will do most anything to avoid swallow
ing bitter dose,) but if she would
stop to consider, she would soon dis
cover that every day she has better
cause for scolding or whining or com
planning. whichever method she adopts,
and that, as the month rolls by, an
eyer-increasing amount is required to
accomplish the same result.
The scolding woman never has things
her own way without a vast expendi-
ture of nervous strength-much more
than the object to be gained is worth.
Why can not she realize that and adopt
some pleasanter method?-Philadelp his
