CARD GAMES.
The Earliest Played In England Were
Imported From Spain.

the Earliest Played In England Were
imported From Spain.
Spain is generally believed TO have
sent us our first card games. ''El hom-
bre." or 1.-THE man." corrupted by us
into 'ombre,' was probably our earli-
est card game in England, and that
must have come from Spain. Also the
oldest packs Of cards found in England
show Spanish symbols, such as cupus,
maces and swords. Another popular
English card game in the sixteenth
century was trump, clearly form of
the Spanish game triumfo.
Cards could be bought In 1545 for
twopence a pack. These were very
wretehed specimens and most Inferior
to those produced by the Cardmakers'
company of London, In which Charles
l. created monopoly, with the finan-
cial genius of his race, by buying them
up cheap and selling them at high
price. In this he was a more open
rogue perhaps than his father, who
forbade card playing in Scotland and
INDUCED in it himself at every oppor-
tunity.
Cards have always been a royal
game. Queen Elizabeth played cards
and lost her temper over them fire.

Don't Try to Be General and Pri-
Vate at the Same Time.
When you are so buried in the de-
tail Of your business that you cannot
get clear, sharp view of your affairs
in all their relations, you are in danger
of failure.
No great general ever takes a gun
and goes with his soldiers into the
thick of the fight, where he would be
so stunned by the noises and so blind
ed by the smoke of battle that he could
not watch the movements Of the en-
envy, could not see where his own
troops needed e-enforcements or how
to hurl his forces on the weakest place
In the enemy's ranks. He must go
where he can watch every movement
of the armies.
If you are going to be a general in
business, you must Keep where you can
get clear view of your affairs and

Four Bad Snakes.

Snakes are much maligned creatures,
although they are, for the most part,
Of considerable value to man, as they
live almost entirely on insects and the
small rodents that are injurious to
crops. OF all the snakes that inhabit
North America there are really only
four that are dangerous. These are
the copperhead, the moccasin, the rat
tlesnake and little snake of southern
Georgia and Florida known as the
coral snake. OF course there. are a
number of different species of the rat
tier about thirty, but they inhabit
different parts of the country and are
all to be known from the fact that they
rattle when approached All the
rest of our snakes are absolutely
harmless, and their bite Is to be less
feared than that of mosquito.-Scrap
