PLAYING CARDS.
The Figures They Hear and What

The Figures. They Hear and What
They Arc Supposed To Represent.
There are but few persons. even
among the historians. antiquarianS and
students iii general, who have the least
idea of the Significance of the figures
OH playing cards. In very early times
the four suits represented the four
principal trade: followed by the pco-
pie. and the figures on the cards were
supposed to be symbolic of the same.
The heart was the symbol of the choir
men, or ccciciiaSticS. and in all carry
packs. besi,.2s the figure of the heart,
each card also bore Il rude picture of Il
monks cowl or of his cloak and crook
ed staff
Some authorities say that the cut of
the early mOnkish cloak WAS III the
form of heart and that the figure
used today Is hut representation OF
picture Of that portion Of the old pref
ate's wearing apparel. The spade" is
really Il pike or spcarhcad. and was
originally the trademark of the sol
diery, typifying the nobility Of that very
important branch of ancient indus.

resented by either Il MasCn'S arch or
by Il diamond shaped roofing tile. The
former. being somewhat unhandy tC

the tile. which is still used and called
Il diamond because of its shape.
The farmers, or great class of agricul
tural labOrers, were given their SYM

the common straw band. AS clover

The four kings were originally Da-

monarchics. Authorities differ as &c
the queens, but the preponderance OF
the evidence is in favor of the opinion
that they are Argine. Judith, Esther
and Pallas. The knaves, or Jacks"

RAILROADS DEMURRER
SUSTAINED BY COURT

Judge Mumford has sustained the de-
fendant's demurrer in the case Of Zoe La
forrest administrators on the estate of
Joseph Laforrest. against the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad COM
pany.
Mr. Laforrest was killed while unload
ing lumber from car that had been de-
livered to the consignee by the railroad
company.
IL was claimed that the lumber was not
properly loaded and that the defendant
had not properly inspected the car.
In the course of the rescript the court
says
IF the lumber fell while being unloaded
the fall can hardly have been due TO the
unsafe and insecure loading OF the car,
II the fall was due TO the negligence of
the servants OF the consignee, then there
Is an intervening cause, so that the neg
ligence of the defendant, IL any, would
not be the proXimate cause OF the plain
tiffs intestate
Even II the defendant is under obliga-
ton TO make reasonable inspection OF
the manner in which a foreign car is load
ed, / do not think that II can be main
tained that il the car Is so loaded, the load
is not liable to fall after the fastenings
are removed and the car Is I'm progress

years after the marriage the Count and
Countess de Castellane were reported To
be financially embarrassed IL being alleged
that the count had already spent about

family intervened, and the income OF the
countess was cut down to 500, 900.
