Cards are square shaped pieces Of
pasteboard printed with various de-
vices and employed as a business me-
dunn by money changers. They are
usually made up In packs Of fifty-two,
one for each week of the year. A good
many people play cards for pleasure,
in which case their opponents are said
to be buying experience. In most card
games the rule is that the cards may
be cut, but not otherwise marked. This
rule is not strictly observed in games
in which only three cards are used.
Indeed. the marking of cards has at
tanned a high. degree Of perfection
since the Introduction of numerous
card index systems. Fashions change
in card games as in everything else.
Old maid, for instance, is nowadays
seldom played in the best clubs. Play
ing cards should not be confused with
score cards. which are rather larger,
or with visiting cards, which are small

Gathering Cloves.

Cloves are now cultivated in many
of the tropical regions of the earth. A
Glove tree begins to bear at the age of
ten years and continues until it reach
es the age of seventy-five years. There
are two crops a year, one in June and
one In December. The tree is an ever
green and grows from forty to fifty
feet high, with large oblong leaves
and crimson flowers at the end Of
small branches in clusters of from ten
to twenty. The tree belongs to the
same botanical order as the guava.
The cloves, which are the undeveloped
buds. are at first white. then light
green and at the time of gathering
bright red. Pieces of white cloth are
spread under the trees at harvesting
time, and the branches are beaten gen.
tly with bamboo sticks until the cloves
drop. They are dried in the sun, being
tossed about daily until they attain
the rich dark color which proclaims
them ready for shipment.

Rritain,s Greatest Preeinioa.

Writing to the Newcastle Journal in
regard to the drowning of three bird
catchers at st. Kilda, correspondent
says the wild fowls Of st. Kilda find
nesting places that enable them to bid
defiance to the sportsman and to the
most daring Of bird catchers. There
is, for example. the precipice called
Conagher. the same being far and
away the greatest preclpice in the
British isles. the deepest perpendicu-
lar precipice. 1t rises from the sea
level to a clear height Of 1.220 feet.
Consider that man might jump from
the top of Conagher into the sea with
out getting scratch by the way.

A Rhineland legend.

There is Rhineland legend Of three
German robbers who. having acquired
by various atrocities what amounted
to a very valuable booty. agreed to d.
vide the spoil and to retire from so
dangerous a vocation. When the day
appointed for this purpose arrived one
Of them was dispatched to a neighbor-
ing town to purchase provisions for
their last carousaL The other two
secretly agreed TO murder him on his
return that they might divide his
share between them. They did so. But
the murdered man was a closer cal
culator even than his assassins, for he
had previously poisoned part of the
provisions. that he might appropriate
to himself the whole of the spoil. This
precious triumvirate were found dead
together.

Expectations Not Disappointed.

When Senator Bob Taylor of Ten
nessee arose to address the senate on
the tariff he said he proposed to at
tack the tariff in high places only, for
the low places in the pending measure
related to free raw material. In spite
of the long drawn out discussion this
session the Tennesseean has contented
himself with making a single speech.
But he had been listening mighty
closely to what the other senators had
to say, and when it became known
that the famous lecturer was going to
talk the chamber quickly filled up, for
senators generally expected entertain
ment. OF course Senator Taylor threw
some fun into his argument. There is
lots of droll humor in the man, but he
did not try to be funny at the expense
of solid argument, and consequently
his remarks were enjoyed by both Re-
publicans and Democrats.

JACK SHEARER's ACCIDENT.

JACh S1EAhElt' > ACOlDLN }
Jack Shearer, who is employed
as a lineman by the telephone
company at Montpelier, was very
severely injured Saturday morn
ing by coming in contact with d
live wire. The arrangement of the
wires at the place where Shearel
was working makes it a somewhat
perilous place to work, as two o.
the Consolidated Lighting wires
run along side the telephone wire
to another pole ten or fifteen feet
away. Shearer and McAlliste
were on the pole carrying a wire
over from Berlin side. In some
way the climbing spur on Shear
er's right foot came in cOntac
with a ground wire on the pole
and in swinging his left foo
around he touched the electric
wire, thus forming a circuit, ant
the whole voltage passed through
his body, holding him against the
wire until his leg was burned Il
the bone, when he fell to the
ground, a distance of twenty-five
feet. No bones were broken, blu
in his leg is a hole four inches il
diameter, burned to the bone, the
flesh around it roasted to a bright
yellow. He was conscious all the
time, and it was more than twenty
minutes that he sat on the side
walk before a doctor could be-
found. The first means of relief
which came to the suffering boy
was the ambulance from the Hea.
ton hospital He bore the intense
suffering without a murmur, anc
his fine courage was a matter o.
comment to the crowd which ha
gathered about him. He is in the
hospital resting comfortably, ant
the doctors hope to be able to
save the leg, although it will be
several weeks before the outcome
