The Games That Were Played In the
Eighteenth Century.

Eighteenth Century.
After the advent of the house of Han
over the favorite games at court were
"quadrille," an improvement of "om-
bre," and commerce" The gains and
losses of the kings and queens We're, as
rule, restricted to 100 guineas, but on
Twelfth Night It was customary for
thousands to change hands. On one
occasion Lady Cowper, lady in wait
ing, refused for the sake of her chill
dren to take part In the game, as none
sat down to the table with less than
f20O.
About the year 1T40 a rage for
"whisk," or whist, set in. but ut first
1t was considered too wise a game for
ladies to join In. Hume, the historian,
never went to bed without his whist,
and even the great johnson regretted
that he had not learned to play cards.
In 1742 "Horry" Walpole finds it abso-
lutely necessary to learn "whisk,"
'haying waited In vain for its being

his charming Duchess Of Grafton, who,
1t appears, had been playing cards in
Rome when she ought to have been at
a cardinals reception, where the floor
fell in and all the monsignores were
precipitated into the cellarl

on that account were usually plain,

famous order to retreat at Culloden

A fresh attempt was made in 1879 to
remedy the state Of gambling in Eng

ENGLISH SPARROWS.


Imported Into This Country.
have been asked several times late
ly at what date the common English
sparrows were imported into the Unit
ed States and by whom.
It seems that the first attempt was
made in 1858 by private citizen Of
Portland, Me. In the fall of that year
he liberated six sparrows, and they i'm
mediately made themselves at home
In his garden and outbuildings. For a
few years these birds and their de-
scendants were seen In and about the
town in smalia squads. These birds
multiplied until in the winter Of 1871
a flock Of them appeared in every near
by town, th1s showing their tendency
to spread over adjoining territory.
About 1860 IL birds were imported
and liberated near Madison square,
New York city, and this was repeated
for several seasons.
In 1864 the commissioners of New
York liberated IA birds in Central park.
About this time numerous persons re-
turning from abroad brought a'few
birds. home and set them at liberty in
and about Jersey City.
The craze for importing these birds
spread, and in 1868 the city govern
ment Of Boston imported a great num-
Der. But the birds had not been care
fully handled, and they did not thrive.
and others were brought over. The
birds which survived from these va
rious importations were carefully fed
and looked after by the city govern
ment.
In 1869 a thousand were imported
and liberated in the city Of Philadel-
phia, and soon the birds spread over
all adjacent territory.
About. this time the Smithsonian In

any man of fairly respectable life and
position and appearance who cared to
make the experiment could marry in
his own class, could marry probably q
woman much superior to himself.
But what about the girl who intends
to marry some day." Is she not in a
very different position from the man?
Here is girl of good character-much
better than the mans, probably-aver-

Theoretically she Is free to marry

A Love Letter of Prince Bismarck.
ION my window sill, among all sorts
of crocuses and hyacinths, stand two
camellias which always inspire me
with strange thoughts. One Of them,
slender and pretty, with its ornamen-
tai crown (top) and soft, pale-very
pale-pink blossoms, but little foliage
and only two buds, transports me to
Reddetin, holds itself rather stifly and
iisps English. The other makes far
less impression of beauty as you look
at 1t, and Its stalk betrays In its gnarl-
ed twisting lack of care In its pruning.
From the midst Of the foliage looks
out a dead branch, but the crown Is
rich In leaves, and the foliage Is green
er than that Of its nelghbor. It gives
promise of abundant poisoning In its
eight buds, and its color is deep dark
red and white in irregular gay variega-
ton. Do you take the comparison
amiss? 1t is lame comparison, more
over, for l do not love camellias, be-
cause they are without odor, and you
love precisely on account of the fra

Mrs Bowser went up stairs without a
word, and after pacing up and down for
few minutes he went to the back window
and called softly to the cat She prompt
ly responded and TO his JOY was accom-
panied by three other cats, thus affordins
him an almost unlimited opportunity for
the study of natural history. TIe closed
the window on them and then got paper
and pencil to iot down notes. 1t wasn't
over five minutes before the four felnes
seemed very much at home, and then he
began:
