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 we're 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 ''hearts" for choirmen or &C.
clesiastics. The "kings" and
Queens at that time were more or
less correct Licensees Of certain
royal and noble personages. Even in
our modern packs it is said hat 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
fury 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 I
almost had myself trampled on and
smothered to see that comedy Well !
today l see nothing amusing in it."
"That's because" replied Napo-
leon, cat that time you were in the
pit and now you are in the first
boxes"

The emperor has often been seen
detaching his own cross of the Lee
gion Of Honor to place it himself on
the breast of a 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
Louis XIV. 81 grant you a pension
of 1900 livres," said the king.
"Sire, | should prefer the cross of
Saint Louis"
81 should think SO, but you will
not get it."
Napoleon would have embraced
the sergeant, Louis XIV. turned his
back on him. 1t is the decided dis
tinction which separates the two
epochs.

The emperor's presence in the
army produced a 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 not
hesitate to say SO, which prevented no
one from doing his duty when the oc-
casion offered.-From Recollectionl

Doctors Use This for Eczema

Or. Fans. EX-Commissioner of Health,
says: "rhere is almost no relation be-
tween skin diseases and the blood" The
skin must be cured through the skin.
The germs must be washed out, and 50
salves have long ago been found worth
less. The most advanced physicians of
this country are now agreed on this, and
are prescribing a wash of wintergreen,
thymol and other ingredients for eczema
and all other skin diseases. This COM
pound is known as Odd. Prescription
for Eczema.
Dr.. Holmes, the well known skin spe-
cialist writes: Il am convinced that the
Odd. Prescription is as much a specific
for eczema as quinine for malaria. We
