A Cross-EYed Hit.

THAT handsome cross-eyed boy
makes a great hit when he gives a
recitation" whispered one whose eyes
are straight. He seems to be so
impartial. They think he is looking at
them all at one and the same time
when the fact of the matter is that
he can't look a single one of them
straight in the face"

Rest for Our Intelligence.

Ignorance, considered alone and

past evils, dissimulates the present
ones; in fine. it is boon, since it
comes to us from nature.-B arnardin

First Mention of Playino Cards.

The earliest direct mention of play
Ing cards discovered SO far is in the
History of the City of Viterbo." The
author quotes Covelluzzo, who wrote
about the end of the fifteenth century
as follows; In the year 1879 was
brought into Viterbo the game of
cards, which comes from the country
of the Saracens and is with them
called naib."

IcELANDIc FORM OF PEDIGREE.
Simple But Effective Manner of Keep.
ing the Record.

The inhabitants of Iceland have kept
their pedigrees in a Jealous way. Num-
bers of them can trace their descent
from the Vikings Who emigrated from
Norway to Iceland in the ninth cen
tury. Unlike many other countries,
there have never been really any no.
bles in this island the nation having
ever been a republic in spirit. Conse-
quent upon the smallness of the popu
lation there has been a considerable
amount of inbreeding, and all Iceland
ers seem to be cousins. There is an
old Icelandic adage which translated
into English reads: Cousins are worst
to cousins The most curious clrcum
stance in this connection is that there
are scarcely any surnames, as known
on the American continent. AS a dis
tinctive mark an Icelander places his
fathers Christian name after his own
Christian name, adding to the former
'sson," which signifies the son Of =
and this is continued from generation
to generation. An Icelandic pedigree
reads as follows: Thorstein AS
giersson, Sigurd Thorsteinsson, Einar
Sigurdsson, Baldur Einarsson, Thor
stein Baldursson, Hafstein Thor
steinsson, and SO on.
