PLAYING CARDS UNCHANGED.

Quite apart from their use in vari-
Gus games, playing cards are an in
teresting study from historic and
pictorial points of view. There are
four suits, representing four classes
Of people as they were divided at the
time the pack of cards we now use
was devised by the French. The
Spades stood for pikemen- or SOL
diers, the 'clubs' for clover, typify-
ing farmers, the diamonds" for
building titles, representing artisans,
and the s'hearts' for choirmen or &C.
clesiastics. The "kings'' and
"queens" at that time were more or
less correct ikenesses of certain
royal and noble personages. Even in
our modern packs it is said that one
of the "queens" is a conventionalized
portrait of Elizabeth of York, who
was engaged to the Dauphin OF
France. The "knaves" were then the
kings testers, and even these cards
may be portraits. All the court cards,
in fact, retain their sixteenth cen.
tury characteristics. Cards are
amongst the few things that have not
changed with the centuries.

SOME STORIES Of NAPOLEON
illustrating the Difference Between
His Regime and That Of the
French Kings.

One evening at Fontainbleau the
French comedian had just played the
Marriage lie Figaro" in the presence
of the emperor. When the curtain
had fallen Marechal Lannes ex-
claimed:
"When l think that formerly 1
almost had myself trampled on and
smothered to see that comedy! Well F.!

'sThat's because" replied Napo-
leon, eat that time you were in the
pit and now you are in the first

The emperor has often been seen
dctaching his own cross of the Lee
gion of Honor to place it himself on
the breast Of hero. Louis XIV.
would first have asked if the brave
man was a noble; Napoleon asked if
the noble was brave. A sergeant
who in battle had performed prodi-
gies of valor, was brought before

of 1900 livres," said the king.
"Sire, I should prefer the cross Of

back on him. It is the decided dis

The emperor's presence in the
army produced great effect. Every
one had the blinidest confidence in
him; it was known by experience
that his plans would bring victory
SO that, when he arrived our forces
were morally doubled. But this per
petuity of combats tired the old sol
diers, the old officers and the old
generals very much; they did moi
hesitate to say SO, which prevented nc
one from doing his duty when the oc-
casion offered.-From 'sRecollections
