Playing Cards.

The Chinese, who, according to their
histories, invented everything before
anybody else, claim the merit of having
first designed playing cards and devel-
oped the games arising out of them. The
Emperor Soun-Ho had many wives, who
naturally found time hanging heavily on
their hands, so the emperor devised
amusement for them by inventing cards
that's, if we are to put any belief in the
words of the Chinese historians. There
We're 30 cards i'll each of his packs-three
suits of nine each and three extra or SUI
perior cards The Chinese cards were
oblong as ours are, while those of the
Hindoos We're round.
Surprising though it may seem, it is
nevertheless true that the queen in our
suits is comparatively modern innova-
ton. The picture cards were at first
entirely military-king, knight and
knave. The Italians were the first, it is
said, to give the lady place in the pack

But One Snuff Taking Senator.

Many years ago, when the now vener-
able Captain Bassett of the senate was a
youth, he was directed to place snuff
box in each of the small recesses of the
rear wall of the chamber to tho right
and left of the vice president and to
keep them filled for the Clays, Websters
and other senator's of the old school who
were habitual snuff takers The snuff
boxes remain as n reminder Of the times
and habits of senator's who made his
tory. But they are seldom filled, as Mr..
