PLsYINe.cARDs FRENCH IDEA
Invented to Amuse Melancholy Mon.
areh-What the Suits Were
Intended to Represent.

Playing-cards were invented about
the year 1880. In order to amuse
Charles vi, then king Of France. who
was subject to Hts OF melancholy.
The inventor proposed to represent
the four classes of men In the king
dom. The clergy were represented by
henrts. for which reason the Spaniards
used, Instead of n neart, a copa or
chalice.
The nobility and military were rep
resented by the points OF spears. and
the Anglo-SaXon ignorance of the
meaning Of The figure led to them be-
ing called spades"
Diamonds stood for citizens, mer-
chants and trndespeople, not because
of their connection with the precious
stones, but because the carreuux. the
red marks that appear upon the
cards, were intended to represent the
square stone tiles of which the houses
Of the middle class were built.
The figure we call "club" was
originally n clover-lcnf. and alluded to
peasants and farmers. Spanish cards
bear n stave or bnsto In lieu of the
French clover-lenf. und 1t Is probably
because Of this that we refer to the
suit as "clubs."

LOCUST LONG POPULAR TREE
Has Been q Pronounsed Favor'ts IN
This Country Since the Earliest
Colonial Days.

There is a tree. which because Of
the afrectlonate regard which old-fash-
Toned folk have for 1t, IL called the
old home tree" It IL the black locust
Before King Williams war. before
Queen Anne's war. before the French
and Indian wnr and therefore long,
long before the American Revolution 1t
would seem that man could not set
up his home In the colonies without
surrounding II with these locust trees.
The practice continued at least as late
as the Civil war. but since then other
trees have become the fashion. All
around the old homes in the middle At
lantIc states. and perhaps In many 9TH
er parts Of the country. grow these
venerable trees. generally rough,
gnarled and storm broken, md they
also mark the site OF many house
that long ago passed from earth.
A few years ago In building a rail-
road "hll" across a Virginia creek near
Washington the hull Of ship that
must have been sunk there In the very
early days Of the American colonies
was exposed. Her timbers were not
sound. yet they had not wholly rotted
nor had they fallen apart. Her sides
and deck were Of locust planking and
the pianks were fastened to her ribs.
not by nails and bolts, but by pins Of
locust wood. or "dowel pins" M they
are called. That was one OF the many
uses to which the Americans Of other
times put this locust tree.
The locust is varIOusly called the
black locust. the yellow locust and the
false acacia, with its thorny branches
Its delicate pinnate leaves and Its
dense clusters Of fragrant flowers,
which dIstill perfume along old roads
and In the gardens Of thousands OF
homes. The wood is very hard and
strong and has long been used as fence
posts, well lining, In many forms OF
turnery and In making tree nails for
pinning together ship timbers.
One Of the beliefs Of the early set
tiers was that the locust tree had the
power of protecting a house against
lightning. People believed In the locust
tree as lightning insurance long before
Franklin's original lightning rod made
its appearance In 1889. 1t may be that
some trees are better conductors OF
electricity than others and that the
numerous prongs and sharp-pointed
branches OF the locust tree offer some
measure Of defense against fire from
the clouds. The belief In the protect
ing power OF the locust tree survived
Notwithstanding that locust trees We've
often splintered by lightning.

Mother., Pension Movement Spread


Forty out Of the fOrty-eight states
have now adopted some form Of moth
ers' pension. They have recognized
the principle that children should not
be taken from their mothers because
of poverty alone. The rapid extension
of the mothers pension movement In
ticates the general belief of the coun-
try In the paramount value OF home
life and a mothers care.
However, although large grants have
been made In many of our states, the
amounts In general have been SO small
that the Increased cost Of living has
not been met and the full purpose of
the laws is not attained. Some Of the
states nre now making careful studies
of Increased costs so that allowances
may respond to the higher prices.
