Playing Cards.

The invention of playing cards has
been attributed to the Chinese, Hindoos,
Arabians and Romans, but cards as
now used were invented by Jacques
Gringonneur, painter, in Paris in the
fourteenth century. They were sup
posed to have been first made for the
amusement of Charles vi of France,
who was deranged. The French had
particular names for the 10 court cards.
The four kings were David, Alexander,
Caesar and Charles; the four queens,
Angine, Esther, Judith and Pallas; the
four knaves or knights, Ogier the Dane,
Lancelot, La Hire and Hector de Gar
land. Cards seem originally, however,
to have been taken to England direct
from Spain, having probably been in
troduced into that country by the Moors;
the clubs, in Spanish cards, not being
trefoils as with us, but cudgels-that is,
bastos the spades or swords, espadas.
They were at first stamped from wood
blocks in outline and filed in by hand,
but after the invention Of engraving the
best artists engraved them on copper
and struck them of at once. Colum-
Dimes were spades; rabbits, clubs; pinks,
diamonds. and roses. hearts. Human
