 The first systematizer of the laws of whist and other card games was Edmund Hoy1e, who died at Caven- dish Square, London, IA years ago to-day. He was then in his ninety seventh year, and his long life had been largely devoted to study O. card games and the formulation Of rules for playing. So generally is his principal work accepted as an au- thority on card playing that accord ing to Hoyle' has become a proverb- t'TIoyle's Games has been issued in scores of editions in all languages, and is still widely read. Playing cards are supposed to be of Chinese origin The Chinese call their cards che-pae or paper tickets, and have thirty cards in a. pack, three suites of nine cards each, and three single cards which are superior to all the others. Cards were introduced into Europe by Arabs Jews and other oriental peoples, be- fore the thirteenth century. The Saracens made the game popular Tn Spain and Italy, whence the taste TOT it spread to Germany, France anu England The first historical evidence of it's existence in Germany dates from 1275, when Rudolph. I, amused him self with playing cards" The marks upon cards are supposed to have been originally intended to represent the four classes of society, hearts repre- senting the clergy, spades the nobil- ity, clubs the serfs and diamonds the citizens.

The Canadian Jewish Times com plains without good cause of an onis- sion in a Canadian press dispatch wherein Prof Paul Ehr1ich was called 'the greatest benefactor to mankind of the age," but was not stated to be a Hebrew As thesToronto Globe re marks, Neither were other savants classified as Maced onians or Metho- dists or Mormons." The name Ehr- lich is plainly not Anglo-Saxon. There are, as a matter of fact, several cele- brated Hebrews who have adopted Apelo-Saxon names.

 Practical work is sewing. cooking, and other household arts is required the infant grade.
 In nearly 200 schools in Ireland in- struction is carried on in both Irish and English, as part of the program to revive interest in Gaelic language and literature.
 In Minnesota the need for trained teachers of agriculture and domestic science is so great that the School of Agriculturea1 Technology at the State university has taken for it's main work the preparation of teachers for these subjects.
 Boys in a fresh air school in Buff fa1o,. N. Y., prune the orchard trees on the school grounds, grow catalpa trees for future transplanting, study bird whistles and notes as they hear them in the orchard, and incidentally acquire a valuable insight into the main principles of forestry.
 Of the 6,572, 900 school children in Prussia, 5,815,0O0 are in Protestant schools, 2,383, 900 in Roman CathO1 schools, and the comparatively small number of 368. 1885 in the non-sectar- ian schools, where the pupils take most of the subjects in common but receive religious instruction separately in the faith to which they belong.
 'HThe school garden movement has shown us one way of solving the child-labor problem" says Dr. D. P. Claxton. United States Commissioner of Education. t1t has proved that children can make things grow, and grow abundantly. A tiny plot 4 by 8 feet, such as a child has in the city farm, grows vegetables enough to sup ply a family of five with a different vegetable every day for days in the week.

 All this was of no immediate effect, but it may have a significant bearing upon the future of railroad financing, which certainly has in many gases been loose and extravagant and anor- mously profitable to syndicates of bankers. :. The significance of this lies in the dissatisfaction reveal ed at the tcIose corporation'' meth cd of financing and managing which has been brought so conspfcuously to light in the experience of the New York and New Haven in the last year, but which is not confined to any one system of railroad. It is one of the many incidents of a transition period in corporation control and regulation in this country.

The young Duke of Sutherland, who
 recently acceded to the title and es- tates on the death of the fourth duke,
 will pass his twenty-1fth milestone to-
 day, having been born on August 29, 1888 He is the largest landowner in Great Britain, having more than a
 million and a quarter acres, the bulk of the acreage being in Suth erland- shire Dunrobin Castle, where the Duke rules the Highlands like a king, l is the center of an estate of 1,166, ,0OO acres which became the property or
 the Dukes ancestors as a result Of the
 rebellion of the Earl of Caithness. Marriage alliances added to the estate | which has now come into the hands of the youthful Fifth Duke. Stafford House. in London, the famous man sion of the SutherlandS in St. James was sold by the late Duke to Sir Will | liam Lever, the soap manufacturer, who presented it to the nation. Tren- than Hall at Stoke-on-Trent, another ancestral castle, has been dismantled because the proximity of the potter1es made it unsuitab bIe for a residence.
 The new Duk0married LaIy Eileen Butler, daughter of the Earl of Lanes borough, last year, and the honey moon was spent in shooting big game | in British East Africa The Duke s mother, now the Dowager Duchess. is 1 still beautiful and youthful in appear ance She has long been noted for l her sociological activities, and is even said to be in sympathy with socialism Her haIf-sister, Lady Warwick, is an l outspoken disciple of Karl Marx.
 The title of Duke of Sutherland
 dates from 1893, but the peerage goes | back to the early thirteenth century, when the Earl of Sutherland was
 created by Alexander II, of Scotland. In 1920 an English baronetcy. was con 4oI, fI9n 1a of Baron Gower was created in 170S.
 In 1746 the holder of the title was
 made Earl Cover and Viscount Trent | ham, and forty years later the title of
 Marquis of Stafford by which name
 the present Duke was known prior to
 his accession to the dukedon, was
 created.
 | In addition to his British estates and seats, the Duke has inherited a
 Canadian estate, located at Brooks, in
 Alberta The late Duke was an en-
 thusiast on western Canada, and his
 faith in the country has been fully ! justified by the remarkable develop ment of the last few years.
 Dr. Sebastian Gebhard Messmer,
 Roman Catholic archbishop of Mill | waukee, whose denunciations of wo- l man suffrage have been widely com l mented on, was born in Goldach, 1 Switzerland, sixty-six years ago to- day.
