Antiquity Of Playing Cards.

"~$AA~A&] Va 81 O~HW
The game Of cards was first played
IN the east and seems to have had q
military origin. Cards were introduced
from Asia into Europe at the time of
the crusades and were first used by
necromancers to foretell fortunes. They
oon became a popular amusement In
the south of Europe, where the Sara.
Gems and Moors taught the people how
to use them, and card playing spread
to all parts Of the continent. The state
records Of Germany mention the fact
that Rudolph l., In 1875, was fond OF
the game and played with his court
iers.
After the invention of paper the man
ufacture Of cards became extensive,
but declined somewhat when card play
ing was forbidden by several Of the
German states and by the English gov.
eminent on account Of the supposed
immoral tendency. Before the era OF
paper cards In the orient were made
Of ivory, papyrus and canvas, less fire.
Quently Of the precious metals and
quite commonly Of wood.

uANA DEFINES A CAUSE

Esrepesa Skin Specialist Says Daadraii
10 Caused BY Parasites.
Upon that theory, proved beyond a
doubt, a cure for dandruff was sought
after. Scientists. chemists, druggists
and physicians all "took a hand" and the
successful issue is the present product
known as "Newbro's Herpicide."
This remedy actually kills the para
sites that infests the hair bulb, does its
work most effective and contains not an
atom of substance injurious to anything
else than the germ alone. Herpicide
causes the hair to grow as nature in
tended it should, soft and abundant.

queror had rendered him invaluable

"A lake covering about two acres in
extent, containing the dead bodies OF
20 mules, is not tempting water to
drink, but / was one of the many who
drank it, and all of us would have done
so if we had known there was death in
every swallow. This illustrates but one
of the many hardships and privations
passed through during the Civil War,
and it is no wonder that G. A. r. men
suffer from aches and pains, the most
prevalent of these being due to kidney

and gardens, this month there is much
about the world out-of-doors in Deem

of unusual design and large photograph,

est of California put in as a supplement.
Among other leading features are 1.-The
Chesterbrook Stock Farm" by Francis
Nelson Barksdale, which tells how A. j.
Cassatt, president of the Pennsylvania
railroad, raises blooded horses, cattle and
sheep on his famous bluegrass estate in
eastern Pennsylvania.
In an article con tributed to the De
cember Review of Reviews under the
title, "From Picking to st. Petersburg by
Rail-" Mr.. Alfred Stead gives an inter
esting account of practically the first
through railway journey across Asia and
Europe made by on-Russian traveller.
He describes in some detail the new
Manchurian connection of the Trans
Siberian Railway. The article is accom-
panied by a map and Photographic views
along the route. There is also a brief
account of the famous Bagdad railway
project of the Germans, with map and
other illustr atoms. These two articles
in the same magazine serve to emphasize
the recent remarkable developments in
Asiatic railroad building.
