Chances In Faces Of Cards.

Faces of playing cards as, printed
today date from the middle of the sew
enteenth century, at which time the
portraits were becoming conventional
lied. In France they underwent a
number of changes, between the time
when Louis XVI. was beheaded until
the fall Of the second empire. Then
republican cards were again devised.
Their inventors tried in each suit
to symbolic one of the great repub-
lies Of the world-the Roman, Ameri-
can, Swiss and French being those
most usually selected. The symbolic
figure Of each republic became the
queen of the suit; it's great hero be-
came the king, while the jacks were
secondary heroes, and the aces show
ed historic pictures. 1t is from this
time that dates the card in which
the American republic was the spade
suit and George Washington's portrait
appeared in place of the king.

EGGS COOKED TO SUIT HIM
How John Randolph Had Them Boiled
With Assistance Of String
s.,.zs Of Servants.

Most persons who eat eggs at all
are particular about them. The boil.
ing of an egg seems simple matter.
but many a breakfast has been spoiled
and many a temper rasped by the
cooks failing to observe the precise
number of minutes and seconds that
the process should occupy. -.
That very original man, John Ran
dolph, is said to have invented q
method of getting his eggs cooked ex-
actly to his taste that worked per
fectly. As in the case in many coun-
try homes in the south, the kitchen
was In a separate building at some
distance from the house, and servants
were plenty. .....@f
When the "sage of Roanoke" took
his seat at the breakfast table there
was a line of servants from the din
Ing room to the kitchen. Mrs. Ran.
dolph, the mother of the statesman.
held an open watch In her hand.
'In!" exclaimed Mr.. Randolph, and
the word lin" was passed from mouth
to mouth until it reached the waiting
cook, who dropped the eggs into the
water. After the requisite number Of
seconds the holder of the timepiece
signifled that the cooking was done.
"Out!" went forth the command in
like manner, and the eggs were quick
ly removed.
!; The system required six or seven
servants to cook one egg. but Ran
do1ph was accustomed to declare that
this was the only way that he could
get It cooked to suit him.

MoLTKE ACCEPTED THE FEE
Occasion When Great, Though Tacl-
il turn German Soldier, Must Have
E5y Felt Like Laughing.

Sidney Wh1tman's book, German
Memories" is full of interesting
stories about Prussian statesmen, SOL
diers, artists and writer's. Here are
two:
"Moltke paid repeated visits to his
nephew's villa, and it was there that
a droll incident occurred under the
chestnut trees of the picturesque gar
den. One day a stranger looking over
the garden railing saw an old man,
whose we'll worn straw hat seemed
to betoken the gardener. They say
that Moltke is on visit here. Could
you tell me, sir, whether it might be
possible to catch sight of him. The
old man replied that if the gentleman
would come again in the course of
the afternoon he might perhaps see
Moltke in the garden. In his JOY the
stranger rendered a mark to the CON-
municative gardener who promptly
pocketed it. The strangers conster-
nation may we'll be imagined when on
his return in the afternoon he be-
held the identical old gardener walk
ing arm in arm with Major Won Burt.
Moltke waved greeting, and with
a smile called out to him: I have
still got your mark
ANY one who happened to be in
Berlin at the beginning of the sos
and was in the habit of riding in the
tramcar from the Brandenburg gate
to Charlottenburg between six and
eight o'clock of an evening might
often have noticed an elderly gentle
man of striking appearance among the
passengers. He was of medium height,
Of slight figure, his face clean shaver
and full of wrinkles. set off by a head
full of long silvery hair. A pair Of
dark, illuminatingly expressive eyes
peered through his spectacles. On en-
tering the tram he always looked out
for seat near the lamp at the back
of the car, and. invariably succeeded in
obtaining it. Thereupon the old gen.
tleman would draw a newspaper from
his pocket and soon be engrossed in
its contents, Notwithstanding the dim
ness of the light. When the tramcar
stopped at Charlottenburg he had
generally finished reading. He would
get up and hurry to the March Strasse.

stood. This was Theodor Mommsen,

Rome"

Overcoming Insomnia.

One hears frequent complaints of
insomnia from persons who tell in
the next breath that they have slept
from four to five hours but who think
that in order to maintain perfect
health eight or nine hours Of sleep
are necessary. AS matter of fact,
there are periods in everyone's life
when health is so abundant that i've
hours, and, in exceptional cases, four
hours sleep are ample. Persons who
sleep for five hours and no longer
are not suffering from insomnia. They
are enjoying exceptional bodily health.
But the entire five hours must be
devoted to a sound sleep, or other
wise the body will not be sufficiently
rested.

GRANDNOTHERs
USED SAGE TEA
To Darken the Hair and Re-
store Gray and Faded Hair
to Its Natural Color,

It is easier to preserve ,he color of
the hair than TO restore it, although il
is possible to do both. Our grand
mothers understood the secret. They
made a ''sage tea, and their dark,
glossy hair long after middle life was
due to this fact. Our mothers have gray
hairs before they are fifty, but they are
beginning to appreciate the wisdom Of
our grandmothers il using ''sage tea"
for their hair and are fast following suit.
The present generation has the advan-
tage of the past IN that it can get .
ready-to-use preparation called Wyeths
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. As a
scalp tonic and color restorer this prep
aration is vastly superior to the ordinary
"sage tea" made by Our grandmothers.
The growth and beauty Of the hair
depends on q healthy condition of the
scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy quickly kills the dandrutf germs
which rob the hair Of its life, color and
luatre, makes the scalp clean and
healthy, gives the hair strength, color
and beauty, and makes it grow. =

ANOTHER REASON FOR
HIGH COST Of LIVING

One OF the reasons advanced for
the high cost of living by local
dealer in school books. is that pupils
have To buy so much paper and SO
many pencils because of the passing
of the states so familiar to the child
hood Of another generation. He says
the problem Of securing paper at
cheaper prices is as much the prob
lem of every parent, according to his
experience, as os the publishers Of
metropolitan newspapers.
Every day immense quantities are
sold and while the price is approx.
nately no higher than formerly. the
quality used is better and conse-
quently the most is increasing. AS
everybody grown knows, much of the
writing and figuring of former school
days was done on states and black
boards. Now little is done that way
in Guthrie or anywhere.
The slate has gone to join the com
munity drinking cup and other enc
mics Of society from sanitary view
point. The book dealer sees in this
not only move for health, but he
says ii improves the hand writing,
though he admits ii is one Of the varl-
ous things that is running up the
high cost OF living.

that, in giving the geneaIogies of those
who existed in former times, only the
names of the males are mentioned.

In our times this custom Is just re

our list the name OF the young lady
