onr,ou. chIn... Playing Cards.

A pack Of Chinese playing cards is a
genuine curiosity. They are generally
printed in black on thin cardboard, the
average width and breadth being about
that Of the finger Of human being. In
some cases they are only half an inch
broad and about 81 inches in length.
The length, no odds what the size, is
always at least six times that Of the
width. Some Of the packs have queer
representations of our kings,
soueens'' and "knaves" stamped upon
them in black. Others are decorated
with the figures Of animals. birds and
fishes. Those used by mandarins and
high officials bear only figures Of myth
illogical creatures. st. Louis Republic.
