used for some time. but the Indians
learned that good whisky poured on

The invention Of playing cards has
been varfously attributed to the Chi
nese, Hindoos. Arabians and Romans.
but cards as now used were invented
by Jacques Grirsonneur, . painter. in
Paris. In the fourteenth century. They
were supposed to have been f,rst made
for the amusement Of Charles vi. Of
France, who was deranged. The
French had particular names for the
IL court cards The four kings were
David. Alexander. Caesar and Charles:
the four queens. Argine. Esther, Ju.
dtth and Pallas: the four knaves or
knights. Ogier the Dane. Lancelot, L.
Hire and Hector de Garland.
Cards seem originally to have been
brought to England from Spain, prob
ably having been introduced into that
country by the Moors. The clubs, In
Spanish. were not trefoils, as with US.
but cudgels. !. e.. "bastos." and the
