PLAYING CARDS.

The origin OF playing cards is un.
certain. although It is probable that
they appeared In Europe in 1850. 1t
is asserted. however. that the Arabs.
Saracens or Moors introduced them
into Europe by way of Spain. They
are said to have been brought from
ountry OF the Saracens to VI
terbo. in Italy. in 1879. The earliest
known mention OF European cards
occurs in 1892. Early in the Fifteenth
Century the use Of playing cards
spread all over Europe. A duty was
first placed on playing cards in Eng
land in 1915. II Is estimated that
about 15.oOo,ooo packs are annually

HOW WOLVES ARE TRAPPED.

Wolves. writes II. Mortimer Batten
In the August Wide World. are the
most difficult OF all animals to trap
and II Is usually by working upon
their uncomfortable curiosity that
they are most easily deceived.
The campfire set" is one OF the
best. When a man makes camp In
the forest the wolves. II there are any
near. are sure to note his where
abouts. When he Is gone they trot
up to investigate the ground. and
with due caution pick up any scraps
he may have left lying about. The
campfire set" is made as follows
First. hollow out an oblong hole In
the ground just large enough to take
the trap. and perhaps i've Inches
deep. Cover the trap with a sheet OF
brown paper and over this all the
hole with damp earth. Then light a
fire on top OF Il. and into the fire. as
Il burns low, throw a few scraps OF
raw meat.
Should n wolf come along to In
vestigate the place he is sure to scent
the meat. and will start scratching
In the ashes for II. thus. OF course
spring the trap.
One Of the greatest difficulties In
wolf trapping is to hide the aforesaid
tell.tale scents. so keen is their sense
OF smell. The traps must never be
handled with the naked fingers. Old
gloves. soaked In oil or fat. are used
and Il Is best to smoke the trap ovei
n "smudge" fire before setting II, and
then enclose II In a paper bag.
The old wolfers often used TO pro
coed as follows: They would start
out on their round dragging piece
OF carrion on their horse or cart by
means OF a long rope, thus leaving Q
trail. upon which they set their traps
at regular intervals. At night the
wolves took the trail up. and which
ever way they followed Il. they were
sure TO encounter one or more traps
Wolves are more easily done away
with by the use of strychnine than
they are by trapping. A trail OF bats
Is laid, the central bait containing
poison. Into this bait is stuck black
feather to warn passersby to keep
their dogs out Of the danger zone
and incidentally to attract the atten
ton OF the wolf. Having picked w
several OF the bats. he has now lost
suspicion and gulps down his dose oil
poison. which kills him almost In
stantly.
The wolf trap is never fastened ia
n permanent fixture. such as tree OF
stake. as the captured animal Is then
able to pull. and ten to one he VIII
escape. II is fastened. instead, to q
log or drag that the animal can pull
along after him. and that hampers
his progress. though II does not pre-
vent It. A wolf has been known to
drag a heavy log with the trap at
tached for three months, during
which period he travelled a distance
OF over 200 miles.

Charles A. Douglas, Returning From

While the State Department to-
day still awaited replies to its
messages to Gems. Carranza, Villa
and Zapata insisting that the rail-
road between Vera Cruz and
Mexico City be kept open to
trains bearing foodstuffs to the
starving people there, Charles A:
Douglas, legal representative here
of the Carranza government, who
returned last night from Mexico,
indicated in an interview today
that the Carranza government
would ask the United States for
recognition at an early date.
The fact that the agents Of Carranza
in this city are preparing for a con-
ference with administration officials to
give assurance that Carranza forces
will again occupy Mexico City and en-
deavor to keep the railroad open was
taken here as a hopeful sign in the
situation.
1t was disclosed officially today that
Carranza's army. under Gen Gonzales, oc-
cupied the capital against the Judgment
of the military commanders several weeks

ordered Gonzales to take Mexico City.
