JAPANESE GAMES,
OF CARDS ARE EASY
Mental Requirements Consist Of
Matching Certain Sets of Pic
tured Pasteboards.

Japanese card games call for no sus-
tanned mental effort such as that re-
quired by the auction bridge OF the
West and somewhat resemble our games
of authors or flags, the object generally
being to match certain sets Of cards,
says the Boston Herald. The word
card is believed to have been taken
from the Spanish "karta," and thus
Spain gets credit for the introduction
of card playing into some countries.
But, as card playing was known in
China in the twelfth century, as cards
are often called ''fuda" (ticket) in ia
pan and as their games vary widely
from those of Europe. it is surmised
that they came to the Orient from
some other source.
In the Japanese game of poem
cards. (uta garuta) there are 200 cards.
One hundred are decorated with por-
traits of poets and the first two lines
OF famous verses. These must be

Singing for Exercise.

Besides being pleasure to the singer
and sometimes to those around, the act
OF singing is better exercise than
most persons have any thought of. 1T
is good exercise for the throat, lungs
and chest and now it is recommended
for the ears. A Western physician who
is called upon to do a great deal of
driving over the country says that after
a particularly hard experience Of this
kind, his ears always seem to be af-
fected, probably by the noise of the
car and vibration of the engine. In
this event he raises up his voice and
sings to the best of his ability and this
treatment soon relieves the ears.
