The man who causes two colts stogrow

sidered 10 be public benefaetor nova

No other business SO largely specula-
tive has held Its own as well as the trot-
ting horse industry during these hard
times,
In Paris in 1893 10000 horsea were
atea by the people, Ia the United States
/ In 1898 twice that many horses ate their
heads off, How much better the Paris
plan isl
II is not the long drawn out contests
on the trotting turf which tire the gem
eral publici it's the long drawn out scor-
ing aud postponed on account Of dark
ness that make them tired
No man need expect TO set Q high
price now for q trotter that cannot trot
no more than he would for farm that
would not produce, an engine that would
not run or ship that could not sail,
If you are farmer, breed for the
seryiceable, good roadster every time,
and IL you bring down trotter make
the best disposal Of him you can, but
don't bank on him as q great source q
profit, Turf, Field and Farm.

origin Of Playing Cards.

The invention of playing cards has
been attributed to the Chinese, Hin
docs, Arabians and Romans, but cards
now used were invented by Jacques
Gringonneur, a painter, in Paris, in
the fourteenth century. They were
supposed to have been first made fol
the amusement of Charles vi. of
France, who was deranged. The
French had particular names for the
twelve court cards. The four kings
were David, Alexander, Caesar and
Charles. The four queens Angine,
Esther, Judith and Pallas; the four
knaves or knights, Ogler the Dane,
Lancelot, La Hire and Hector de Gar
lana. Cards seem originally, however,
to have been taken to England direct.
ly from Spain, having probably been
introduced into that country by the
Moors, the clubs in Spanish cards not
being trefoils, as with us, but cudgels-
that is, bastos; the spades were swords,
espades. They were at first stamped
from wood blocks in outline and filled
in by hand, but after the invention of
engraving the best artists engraved
them on copper and struck them off
at once. Columbines were spades
rabbits, clubs; pinks, diamonds, and
roses hearts. Human figures opposed
to those of flowers and animals were
the ancestors of court cards.
