when Coal Was Prohibited.

1t makes the present generation smile
to read the accounts which have come
down TO us concerning the prejudices
which were formerly entertained
against certain articles which are of
everyday consumption.
For instance, it is said that when coal
was first used in England the prejudice
against it was so strong that the house
of commons petitioned the king to pro-
hibit the Use of the '~noXious" fuel.
\ royal proclamation having failed to
abate the nuisance, a commission was
issued to ascertain who burned coal
within the city of London and it's neigh
b0rhood, to punish them by force for
the first offense and by the demolition
of their furnaces if they persisted in
transgressing. \ law was finally pass
ed making it a capital OtfenSe to burn
coal in the city and only permitting it
to be used by FORCES in the vicinity. 1t
is stated that among the records in the
Tower of London Il document was
found according to which a man was
hanged in the time of Edward L. for no
other crime than having been caught
burning coal. IT took three centuries
to entirely efface the prejudice.

Antiquity of Playing Cards.

The game of cards was first played
in the eaS and seems to have had a
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
soon became a popular amusement in
the south of Europe, where the Sara
cen 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 1915, 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.

when the vegetables, meat, etc, are
already boiling. They cook no faster
