High Prices For Playing Cards,

A sale of old playing cards took place in London recently. The catalogue con- tained 46 lots, and though they lacked the extreme rarity of many in the Schrieber collection there were a num- Der of unusually interesting and curi- ous packs. These were the characteris- tics especially of 52 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 54 Dutch satirical cards, engraved in the first quarter of the eighteenth cen- tury, fetched e3 18s. The sum of e3 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 G2 1Ss. 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 1t, realized 3 guineas.

He and TOOle Made a Tipsy Waiter Re-
 pent Temporarily.
 Sir Henry Irving tells an amusing story of joke that he, with MT. Toole and a third party, played some years ago at a Glasgow hotel. After their work they were supping at the hotel, where, says Sir Henry. "there was in the room a high screen. The instant the waiter was gone we commenced opera tions. We stripped the silverware, of which there was a tolcrable supply, from the table and placed it behind the screen. We then opened the window and turned out the gas, and finally all got under the table. We had only to re- main ill our cramped position few minutes before we heard the unsteady feet of our friend, the waiter. along the passage.
 ''The darkened room amazed him and the cold air from the window seemed to strike him with alright.
 "'GoodnessI' exclaimed he, its thieves they are. A thocht as much frae the luiks O. them, and frae their gay talk and their lauchter Eh, but I'm a ruined man. A wish a had nae taen the hale O that last bottle. Hearl HearI Thievesl Thievesl Murderl Thievesl Thievesr and shouting at the top of his voice he ran out of the room and along the passage.
 "The minute he had gone we shut the door, lit the gas, restored the silver to the table and sat round as before, enjoying a quiet cigar. Presently there was a confused murmur along the pas sage. It grew louder and louder, and in poured a truly motley throng, most ly half dressed, consisting of the man. ager, two men in bare legs and slip pers, and a lady with blanket, in the alarm of fear caught up, followed by our agonized friend, the waiter One man was armed with a poker and the other carried Q bronze statuette ready to hurl at the thief. AS they entered we all sat back and looked at them in we'll feigned amazement, and Toole said to the astonished and bewildered man. ager, Do you always come in this way with your friends when a gentleman asks for his bill?'

A 10 CENT QUEEN.

One Who Is Shipped All Over the World
 In a Box.
 Imagine a queen travelling around the ous, and yet it is fact There is a cer- tain man, according to the St. Louis Re public, who will do this for any one who will send him an order. whether it comes from England, China or any oth CT foreign country, and he says:
 'I have frequent demands from all parts of the world. You see, send these queens as follows: You will notice that there are two little circular apart ments in this royal carriage" " and he produced little wooden box, lone in which the queen is kept and the other for her suit. The little plug in the cen ter of the box is solidified, candied honey, which will furnish food to the regal party until they arrive at their destination.
 ''The compartments are covered with fine wire gauge to prevent the escape of the insects.
 ''This large one in the first compart- ment, the one with the delicately shaped, long body and beautiful markings, is an Italian queen bee, and she is valued at $1O. have queens valued all the way from $2 to $25.
 ''The others, in the second compart- ment, are the suit or worker bees, that will accompany her on the trip, not only for company, but also for the heat they will produce to keep her comfortable on the stormy voyage over the great, cold seas.
 "After we have the bees safely stow ed away ill their proper compartments, we switch the little lid around and fasten it with a tiny screw at the ends, and on its top surface the address of the consignee is written, the stamp is affix- ed, and away goes her majesty, queen sold into slavery for the trifiing sum of $10 and sent to her destination on a 10 cent stamp.
 Bee culture has grown so rapidly in the United States that there are few farmers now who have not substantial apiary and who do not net handsome income each year from the honey the bees yield, and besides the farmers there are thousands of gentlemen and ladies who are apiarists purely from the fas- cination the hobby affords"

Beauty Is Wealth.

Beauty is as essential to a woman as any other quality; with beauty of form and feature comes beauty of mind and character. Physical beauty Is a rounded form, the brightly tinted cheek, the viva cious eye, a certain ease and grace of manner, which indicates a superabun- dance of physical strength. Very few wo- men possess these qualities, but very many more might possess them who do not. If you feel that you are losing vitality, los ing your beauty, losing your strength, if you feel that your face, which once was plump and rosy, is becoming thin and sal low, that wrinkles (which are the terror to all pretty women) are beginning to ap- pear, take our advice and try that great est of discoveries, the Massage Face Cup" which is the only means known to science to convert a thin and sallow ex- pression into plump and rosy face. It will transform face with plain or homely features into an expression of grace and beauty. Physiology teaches us that If we would be strong we must exercise the muscles that need the developing. Exer- else causes the blood to rush to that part of the body called into action, the muscle is fed and strengthened by the fresh blood and will therefore develop.
 The Massage Cup will do for the face, If properly applied, by contracting and relaxing the muscles, what exercise will do for the other parts of the body.
 If you would have a plnkish complex ion, if you would like face plump and rosy, if you would like to remove that "horrid wrinkle," send One Dollar to us and we will mail you the great Massage Face Cup, with full directions for use Remember, you can have your money back If you say so.

Welsh Rabbit.

Welsh rabbit is not corruption of any rare-bit. It is simply colloquial name for a dish and has numerous kin dred names. Here is tolerably con- plete list, the first four being of Amer ican, the others of British origin: "Jer- sey lightning" meaning whisky; Cape God turkeys" meaning codfish; Al bany beef," meaning sturgeon; Mary land chicken, " meaning lobster; "New- haven broth." meaning boiled mussels i; "Digby chickens" :" Glasgow magis- trates,' "Gourock hams," Dunbar wethers, Norfolk capons," all mean ing red herrings; Field Lane ducks, i" meaning boiled sheepshead and onions; Bombay ducks," meaning dried fish; Bristol milk, " meaning sherry; "Irish apricots, "Irish fruit,'' Munster plums," meaning potatoes. Then an Essex stile" is Q ditch; an Essex lion," calf; Jerusalem pony" a donkey. So Welsh rabbit is one of many territorial slang names of articles of food.-New York Sun.

The First Teacups.

Even after tea was introduced into Europe and had come into general use teacups were scarce. At the same time coffee was introduced, but apart from Constantinople the first coffee cups in Europe date back only as far as 1645 in Venice, 1859 in Paris, 1652 in London and 1894 i'll Leipsic. From the first, however, the conventional oriental cof- fee cup, without stem or handle, was little used, and in Germany not at all. The Chinese teacup was used for tea, coffee and chocolate as well. Specimens of porcelain were undoubtedly intro duced into Europe in the middle ages, yet not till the sixteenth century were cups imported from China ill any great quantities, and even then it was as ar ticles of vertu. Most of these found their way back to China again, as col lecting porcelain is a lasting fad there, and high prices are paid for good spec imens. The collection of Chinese porce- lain, if only the genuine specimens are desired, requires immense study and knowledge, as the Chinese are skillful imitators and put numerous falsifica- tions on the market.

Suicide.

An English statistician says there is not much of a psychological mystery in the fact that so many more people com init suicide in summer than in winter, and he does not think that the differ ence is in any large measure due to the direct effect of cold upon human minds and bodies. It must be borne in mem- ory, he says, that drowning is the con- honest method of self destruction and resort to it is difficult or impossible when rivers and ponds are covered with ice. This accounts for a part of the de- crease. Another part is explained by the circumstance that in cold weather people live more in association, and there is thus less opportunity for com mitting suicide. He does not think, however, that it is possible to explain the matter wholly without reference to the depressing effects of cold on the nervous system and the exciting effects of heat. It requires some energy and determination to commit suicide, and this is lacking in a person suffering from extreme cold. All these considera- tions working together, the result is that many people endure through the winter life which they have ceased to value and throw it away when the sea- son comes in which tho material diff culties ill the way of continued exist ence are at their minimum,
