High Prices For Playing Cards.

A sale Of old playing cards took place
in London recently. The catalogue con-
tanned IS lots, and though they lacked
the extreme rarity Of many in the
Schrieber collection there were q num-
Der of unusually interesting and curl
GUS packs. These were the characteris-
tics especially of 50 old proverb cards,
the rarity Of which is testified to by the
fact that they are not mentioned in the
British museum catalogue, in which
every known variety is recorded The
pack was in fine condition and realized
the sum of e4 Is. A marble backed set
of 81 Dutch satirical cards, engraved in

tury, fetched e3 18s. The sum of IS
was paid for an antique geographical
pack of about the year 1875. This set
also included the rare explanatory card
and another card describing other packs
OF the period. The "popish plot" pack,
which was published in 1879, was sold
for So 18s. These cards are very scarce,
but the completeness of the pack was
broken by the absence of the seven of
hearts, and this Influenced the price.
A pack illustrating the American war,
with portraits of the generals engaged in
it, realized 2 guineas.

The Queen of Greece.

1t is said by lady who recently Wis
i ed Greece and had the honor of meet
ing the royal family that perfect har-
mony exists between them, and the king
and queen are devoted to their children.
The queen is still a very beautiful wom-
an and the only lady admiral in the
world. She holds this rank in the Rus
sian army, an honorary appointment
conferred on her by the late car because
her father held the rank of high ad-
miral and for the reason that she is a
very capable yachtswoman The king
has very remarkable memory, an in
teresting personality, and is brilliant
conversationalist. He goes about the
streets Of Athens without any attend
ants and talks with any friend he
chances to meet. Prince George is very
attractive, and his feats of strength,
shown often in the cause of chivalry,
are continuous subject of conversation
among the people.

LIGHTHOUSE IMPROVEMENT

Changes That Have Been Made In Lights
and Lenses.
An article about lighthouses, entitled
"The Lights That Guide In the Night, .
is contributed by Lieutenant John M.
Ellicott to st. Nicholas. After telling
OF the growth in the number of light
houses Lieutenant Ellicott says:
Meantime the means of lighting were
being steadily improved. The open fire
gave place: to the oil lamp, then
curved mirror, called parabolic mir
1or, was placed behind the lamp to
bring the rays together; next, many
lamps with mirrors were grouped about
central spindle, and some such lights:
are silk in operation. The greatest:
stride came when an arrangement of
lenses, known as, the Fresnel lens, in
front Of a lamp replaced the mirror be-
hind it. This lens was rapidly improved
for lighthouse purposes, until now a;
cylindrical glass house surrounds the
lamp fame. This house has lens shaped
walls, which bend all the rays to form
horizontal zone of strong light which
pierces the darkness to a great distance.
The rapid increase in the number of
lighthouses has made it necessary: to
have some means of telling one from
another, or, as it is termed, of giving
to each light its characteristic. " Sol
oring the glass made the light DINNER,
but as red comes most nearly to white
light In brightness some lights have red
lenses The latest and best plan, how
ever, IS. to set upright prisms at inter-
walls in circular framework around
the lens and to revolve this frame by
clockwork. Thus the light is made to
flash every time a prism passes between
it and an observer. By changing the
number and places of the prisms or the
speed Of the clockwork the flashes for
any one light can be made to- occur at
intervals of so many seconds for that;
light. Putting in red prisms gives still
other changes. Thus each light has it's,
characteristic" and this. is written
down in signs on the charts and fully
stated in the light lists carried by ves-
sells. Thus, On chart you may note
that the light you want to sight is
marked "F. W., v. W. FL, 10 sec., )"
which means that it is fixed white
varied by white flashes every ten Sec
onds. " When light is sighted, you see
II those are its characteristics. and if SO
you have found the right one.

Won TAUSCH TRIAL.
noted Case Against The German Police
Commissioner Begun.

Noted Case Against The German Police
Commissioner Begun.
BERLIN, May 25.-The trial of Hem
Won Tausch, the former commissioner
OF the secret political police, who was
arrested on Dec. s last, at the close Of
the sensational Luetzow- Lockers trial,
during which the imperial chancellor,
Prlnce Hohenlohe, the minister for for
elgn affairs, Baron Marschan Won Bieber-
stein, and the German ambassador tc
Austria, Count Phillip Won Gutenberg
were among the witnesses, has COM
menced and will probably last a week.
Among the witnesses summoned are
Baron Marschal Won Bieberstein, Count
Phll1p Won Gutenberg, ex-Ministers Won
kutler and General Bronsart Won Schel-
lendorf, Police President Windheim,
Herr Bebel the Socialist leader, and
about 80 newspaper men, besides num-
Der OF officials belonging to the different
ministries.
At the opening Of the trial the presi-
dent OF the court cautioned Baron Won
Leutzow not to depart from the actual
truth III the testimony which he might
be called upon to give against Won
Tausch. The former chief of the secret
political police was then examined He
made a statement relative to the en-
ployment of Won Leutzow and news
paper man named Schumann, by the
secret political police, and assured the
court that he, Won Tausch, had never
caused political interests to be served by
his agents. Schumann, or Normann-
Schumann, is said to have been much
more guilty than Baron Won Leutzow.
Schumann escaped from Berlin just in
time to avoid arrest. He was charged,
in conjunction with Baron Won Leutzow,
with having signed fictitious names to
receipts for money given them to bride
newspaper writers or editors or subordi-
nate employees Of the government to fur
nish secretly information of every kind
wanted in the alleged campaign to dis
credit the existing cabinet.

MOTHER GOOSE,
The 1conoclast Throws q Big Stone a,
Boston's Famous Parsonage.

The 1conOclast Throws Big Stone at
Boston's Famous Parsonage.
Iconoclastic Boston has decided that
IT there ever was Mother Goose with
poetical talents-which isn't likely
she was not the Mother Goose buried in
that city and whose grave has for years
been haunted by sentimental, patriotic
and more or less literary visitors from
all parts of the country. It seems that
the respectable Mrs. Elizabeth Goose,
whom legend credits with the compost
ton Of all those spriehtly lyrics in
which, for no very good reason, chill
dren are supposed to take such delight,
had no more right to place among
Americas eminent women than Jack
the Giant Killer has to be included
among our famous generals. She lived
and she died. and that, except the
names of her parents and the fact that
she had some children, is absolutely all
which is known about her.
The story that she wrote, or at least
collected, the famous poems is myth
invented by one of the presumably good
lady's descendants. "Mere l'Oye' was
from time out of mind character in
French fairy tales. The name first ap-
peared in English in 1929, when the
prose "Contes de ma mere loye" were
translated as ''Tales of Passed Times
by Mother Goose This book became
the property of John Newbery of Lon
don, the famous publisher of little
books for children, and about 1865 he
utilized the trade name by printing as
q companion book 'Mother Goose 8
Melodies. The latter was merely a
collection of old English nursery rhymes.
From England it came to America and
was reprinted by Isaiah Thomas of
Worcester, Mass, about 1857, then by
Munroe & Francis of Boston about 1895,
and now by every one. The fiction
about Mrs. Elizabeth Goose Of Boston
was started by John Flint Eliot about
1860, utterly without proof or probable
ity, and has since been repeated, gain

In the year 1868, Mr.. ]. R. Watkins first began
the manufacture of DR.. Wards Liniment. For
years he struggled along with limited means,
striving with all his powers and at times despair
ing of success, but at last established living,

inc all these long years of toiling and waiting,

found so lost to every principle of right and
Justice as to undertake TO despoil him of his bus
mess, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labors. However, in this
matter, he learned that he was mistaken. In
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus
agents offering medicines said to be DR.: Wards or

Roaming with Smiles.

Are the countenances of people who have found speedy marlborough relief from malarial, kidney, bilious, dyspep- tic or nervous troubles through the aid of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters Such countenances are very numerous So are letters from their owners at testing the efficacy of the great family medicine. Among the signals of distress thrown out by the stomach. bowels and liver in a state of disorder, are sick headache, heartburn, nausea, loss of appetite, sallowness of the skin and eyeballs, and an uncertain state of the bowels. They should be needed at once. If the Bitters are resorted to, the woe begone look which accompanies sickness will give way to cheerful looks produced by renewed health. If you are drifting on the coast of disease, throw an anchor to windward by summoning the Bitters to your assistance. It will keep you in safety.
