THE SPIRIT OF COMEDY

The Spirit of Comedy is a muse, not
a harlequin. When she speaks, her
utterance, whether it be in prose or
verse, is that form of humor which
is recognized as literary. She does
not know the products of the mechani-
cal testers trade-the painfully re-
modelled jokes, the elaborated puns.
the horse-play coraled Systematically
by jaded pen and pencil. She is a
subtle spirit, who has her favorite
dwelling place very near the sources
OF our deepest thought and emotion.
Where she cannot look on life through
Women's eyes, she will not finger;
though women rarely know her as
men do. She loves love, though he
regards her with jealous fear. She
knows tears, but never confesses to
the knowledge. Her speech is the
final gracious flowing of the knowledge
of life. Her touch has power to keep
ointment wholesome and passion
sane; it has power to confer immor-
tally On great emotion by guarding
l. against destructive excess. The
smiles and laughter which she evokes
are the foam-bells on a deep current
of wisdom.-The Illustrated American.

RARE PACK OF CARDS.
Old Deck of the Sixteenth Century
Discovered in New Jersey.

The oldest pack of cards found in
the United States is a deck which was
discovered in perfect condition in a
closet in an ancient house in New
Jersey, says the Collector. The date
of the pack is of the time of Charles l,
and the cards are Of English make.
Some very odd playing cards have
been found in the board bindings of
early books. 1t looks as if illustrative
art was used in the making of cards
even before the pictures in books of
religion, which shows that man
thought more of his amusement than
of the saving of his soul. At recent
sale in London some old playing cards
were disposed of. A geographical
pack, 1875, with the rare explanatory
card describing other packs of the
period, brought f3; a pack of Old
proverb cards, not in the British mu-
scum catalogue, f4 lis; Dutch satitri-
cal cards, first quarter of the eigh-
teenth century, with the two supple
mental cards, SO 1885,; a pack of gro
tesque cards, the suits cleverly de
signed and colored, e. los; a pack il
Illustrating the American civil war,
with portraits Of the generals engaged
therein, e. Is, and the rare Polish
plot pack, published in 1879, one card
missing, e. 1Ss.

SOME OF THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN.

A case of some interest was tried
at Brockton, Mass, a shoe town in
Massachusetts. Charles A Eaton and
Fred E. Field, representing two shoe
manufacturing firms were tried on
the charge preferred by state detec-
tive, of violating the state law regulat-
ing the hours Of work for women and
minors. 1t appears that women
worked, by their own desire half an
hour overtime in the shops cited.
The proprietors were fined $500 each.
Mr.. Field paid, but by arrangement
Mr.. Eaton appealed test the con-
stitutionality of the state law Mr..
Eaton questions the power of the
legislature to dictate to women of age
how long they shall work They
have, he says, the same rights as men

FISHING DORIES.

The American fishing vessels are
schooners. You can tell them by the
dories which, when not in use, are
''nested'-set one inside the other
on deck. An ordinary ships boat
usually has a ring in the bow and
it is hois5ed aboard are hooked. A
dory, however, has a long eye in the
painter-the rope at the bow-and in
the stern a ''becket''-a loop formed
by passing a rope through two holes
There are five dories to the ave-age
fishing vessel, and two men to a dory,
besides the captain nd the cook, who
remain aboard while the dories are
out. The frs thing the dories do is
to ";T'un their gear"-set their travis
A trawl is a line, about mile long,
from which a thousand hooks hang
by smaller lines. At each end of the
trawl is keg-flOat. The kegs of diff
ferent vessels are identified by dis
tinctive little fangs, and marked with
the vessels name. The kegs are
anchored, and that part of the line to
which hooks are attached rests on
the bottom. On a forenoon in fine
weather the dories will ''underrun"
the travis begin taking them up
at one end, and as fast as they take
fish off the hook will rebait and throw
the line over, hook by hook But in
the evening they take up the entire
trawl, return with it to the vessel,
bait up aboard, and set the trawl
against. Nicholas.

TESTING A THEORY.

Conan Doyle tells a story of a
friend Of his who had often been told
tat there is a skeleton in the cup
board Of every household, no matter
how respectable that household may
BIT; end he determined to put this
opinion to a practical test. Selecting
venerable archdeacon of the church,
against whom the most censorious
critic had never breathed a word, he
went to the nearest postoffice and
dispatched this telegram to the rever-
end gentleman: All is discovered,
Fly at oncei" The archdeacon dis
appeared and has never been heard of
since.
