PLAYING CARDS.
Peculiarities of Those Used by the
Different Nations.

Different Nations.
zone of the most interesting collec-
tons of foreign loot that I've seen
recently said a man ordinarily too
busy to make the "trip over the seas
himself, ''is an assortment of playing
cards from various parts of the world.
In every country the owner Of the
collection visited-and he went to
good many-picked up cards of local
manufacture and so representative of
the nation.
THE Russian cards are perhaps the
most elaborate. -The faces of the kings
and queens are different in each suit,
indicating the racial elements that go
to compose the empire.
"On the Greek cards classical heroes
and heroines are represented. Nestor,
for example, is the king of hearts and
Orestes the knave. Agamemnon is the
king of clubs, Hercules the jack of
spades and Minos and Danae the king
and queen of diamonds The Greek
pack is rather a cheap one and scarce
ly does honor to the celebrities por-
trayed.
'Cadiz is center for card manufac-
turing The idea of the Spanish card
maker seems to be to get as much color
on the cards as possible. The royal
robes are of unusual magnifcence.
The clubs are big bludgeons in green
and red, and the knave of clubs, gay1y
caparisoned on a prancing horse, re-
minds you instantly of Jack the Giant
Killer The spades are ugly little dag
gers, and for hearts and diamonds
there are disks and dice cups. The
cards in some of the Spanish packs are
very thin and have a capital spring.
THE Madeira cards come from Lis
bon. The figures are more convention
al in design than on the Spanish. The
ace cards are adorned with typical
Portuguese scenes.
"a popularity of the pack bought in
Constantinople is that the ace cards,
in addition to the single spade, dia-
mond, club or heart in the center of
each, have diminutive aces at the up
per left hand and lower right hand
corners.
1.-THE Italian face cards portray de-
cidedly gloomy personages. Each one
of the face cards, by the way, carries
in small print the name and address of
the maker. There are-tiny packs, an
inch and a quarter by an inch and
three-quarters in size, which can be
bought on the streets of Naples for a
Soldo Those resemble the Sn9niSh
cards to some extent although the
royalties are more dignified.
Cairo is a great card emporium, and
Mousky street offers rich returns to
the card hunter. Fortune telling cards
must be in demand there, to judge
from the samples l saw in the collec-
ton. The Cairo playing cards come
mostly from Germany. They are bril-
liant in their coloring The aces carry
scenes from lands both west and east.
THE gem of all the packs comes
from Switzerland. The cards are
small, one and three-quarters by two
and Il half inches in size, and the back
design is the edelweiss. The kings,
queens and jacks are delightful studies
in Swiss costume, and the purchaser
certainly gets his moneys WORTH for
each face card has two half figures
quite unlike. On the aces are Swiss
scenes and objects of interest, also two
castle of Chillon, the Matterhorn, the
bridge at Lucerne and the Lion of Lu-
cerne indianapolis Star

Mirrors are usually silvered by coat
ing the glass with amalgam. For this
purpose a large, perfectly fiat stone is
provided, and upon it is evenly spread
a sheet of tin foil without crack OF
flaw. This is covered to the depth OF
one-eighth of an inch with clean mer-
curry. The plate of glass, perfectly
cleaned from all grease and impurity,
is aoated on to the mercury by sliding,
SO as to exclude all air bubbles. 1t is
then pressed down by loading. it with

received in gutter around the stone.
After about twenty-four hours it is
gently raised upon its edge, and in a

Funkley. The murder was cold
blooded, premeditated crime, and
Mathieson, since being captured, has
confessed to having committed the
murder. What his plea will be if
indicted by the grand jury is not
known.
The other murder charge which
will be considered by the grand Jury
is that of the state VS.. w. S. Mum,
who shot and killed August Franklin
at Spooner early this summer.
Mum has claimed self defense as
justification for the killing of Frank
lin and if he is indicted his defense
will probably be conducted along
that line. The jury will also con-
slider the case VS.. Jennie Anderson,
in charge of obtaining money in
false person. Mrs. Anderson, it is
claimed obtained a check for $4,000,
belonging to another Mrs. Jennie
Anderson, wife of A. E. Anderson,
deceased; the money being the
premium of the policy held by Mr..
Anderson as member of the
A. 0. u. W.. 49,

consideration are as follows:
State VS.. Albert Belke, forgery.
State VS.. Ole Torgenson, assault in

State VS.. ]. ]. Carter, grand lar
ceny.
In addition to the above, the
principals being in jail or out on

deavor to indict several others
charged with crime, but who have
not yet been apprehended.
