Pat's rasaword,

‘‘The password is Saxe. Now don’t forcet it,’’ said the lonel to Pat.

Hard Luck In the Klondike,

Klondike Waggles—Kin yer help er poor unfortunit creeter, lady?

Mrs. Coldnose—I am so sorry, only we haven’t a thing in the place but money.

Vagaries of Learning.

A certain schoolteacher, whose sense of humor is developed to a remarkable degree, goes to the trouble occasionally of writing down for her own use some of the funniest answers which she finds in her examination papers. By especial favor 1 have been allowed to use a few. Here they are:

**The stomach is the most diluted por- tion of the elementary canal.”’

**Hygene is all that you can tell about that which is asked.’’

‘*The doctrine of evolution began with the beginning of life and grew higher and higher until it regenerated into monkey. This process was slow, so slow that neither the monkey nor the man knew anything abont it.”’

‘‘A germ is a name applied to a par- ticular particle, tiny subbacterial organ- ism, which, when demonstrated, causes disease. ”’

‘*A germ is a tiny insect or bug some- times found in diseases or organs. That is why diseases are contagious. It is so small that it can be seen only witha telescope. Then it appears like the head of a pin, but it goes fluating around into the atmosphere. ’”’

‘*Habeus corpus means you may have the head and I will take the body.’’

“‘Queen Elizabeth's reigu was the reign of posterity."’

"The germ theory of diseases is con- tinually floating around in the air and is very dangerous, especially when the amosphere is unwholesome.’’

‘*William Pitt, the second son of the Earl of Chatham, premier of England, entered life at a very early age, which office he held at a very early period in life, the time when most men are just completing a professional education.’’

‘“‘A dowager is a widow without joints. ’’—Syracuse Post.

A Recommendation.

First Sonbrette—I've got to take something for my nerves. Did you ever try Billiger’s Bromides?

Second Soubrette-—It ain’t as good aa Waxem’s Catnip Compound. The bro- mide people only use small cuts over their testimonials, and the compound folks will put your picture in double columu width.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

Why He Rebclied.

‘*You were very devoted to her, and now you don’t speak.’’

‘*No. One has to draw the line some- where, you know. I let it pass when she promised to be a sister to me until I learned whom she was going to mar- ry. Then I kicked. I don’t want him for a brother-in-law.’’—Chicago Post.

A Disgrace on Her Head. She—Well, Harry, you promised me a new bonnet. He— When? She—You said that ‘‘never should disgrace rest on my head,’’ and look at this object of a hat!—Judy.

Possibly no other invention has ever given sorrow, has called forth so many smiles

frowns and tears and has been the agent in so many tragedies as a pack of cards.

The actual source of this invention still remains a mystery, the generally ac- rv of origin being that in 1398 cards were introduced at the French court a diversion for King Charles VI during his temporary attacks of in- sanity. From this date they spread rap- idly through every country in Europe

and received such a warm welcome from all classes that laws had to be made for the better regulations of dice

throwing and card playing.

During the commonwealth card play- ing shared the banishment of every other amusement, but with the restored monarchy a reaction set in, and heavy play became the fashion. Basset and ombre were the games in favor at court, and in the graphic picture given by Evelyn of the last Sunday spent by King Charles H at Whitehall he speaks of ‘‘at least £2,000 in gold’’ on the bas- set table round which ‘‘about 20 of the great courtiers’’ were sitting. Ombre was also a court game. Waller hasa poem ‘‘on a card torn at ombre by the queen.’’ Pope also, in ‘‘The Rape of the Lock,’’ gives sucha faithful description of Belinda’s game that the Hon, Daines Barrington, writing in The Universe! Magazine for December, 1788, says, ‘**When ombre is forgotten (and it is al- most so already), it may be revived with posterity from that most admirable poem.’’ In its turn ombre was deposed for quadrille, and for a time noone who aspired to be counted among the beau monde condescended to vlay anv other

game. Mr. Urban, in The Gentleman’s Magazine for 1786, gives ‘Cautions Against Quadrille’’ and warns ‘‘the young and unwary of both sexes’’ against a most growing vice which if not timely prevented will end in their ruin. ‘‘I mean,’’ he says, ‘‘the great Increase of Play in private Houses, and more particulary that artful uod cheat

ing game of Quadrille.’’ Quadrille was equally popular in Paris, and a pamphlet is extant dated 1760 of ‘‘The game of Quadrille by Four as it is now played at the French Court,’’ in which it says, ‘‘It is allowed by all players that Qua- drille is more amusing and entertaining than Ombre or any other game on the either because every Deal is play’d out or that it better suits the of the Ladies, to whem com- laisance and good manners must Preju-

‘judicial hold had this fascinating gal women that a writer of the day declares that ‘‘women now spend all their timein gambling. Their husbands, children, the duties of so ciety, are, Without Quadrille, weari- some encumbrances. Quadrille is the joy that gives life, spirit and bright- ness. For this they hurry over their meals and abridge their most agreeable Refreshments. For this alone they visit and are visited. ’”’

In the autobiography of Mr. Frederick Reynolds he tells us that one of the

a prt os te me tasen on

most noted card playing places near London was Twickenham, and that there, in Montpelier row, lived four

miden ladies who were known in the neighborhood as Manille, Spadille, Bas- to and Punto. Mrs. Harris, writing to her son, tue first Lord Malmesbury, says: ‘‘Mme. @e Wulderen would fain have tempted me to her loo table, but I seeded little fortitude to withstand it, siake lost would ruin a whole assembly. I preferred a sober game of guadrille with Miss Chudleigh.’’ The Annual Register fer i766 informs us that ‘‘a lady at the West End lost ata sitting one night lust week 3,000 gui- neas at loo.’’ As carly as the reign of Henry VIT * : rv UiLitory statute for- bade any persons save those of noble rank to play at cards except during Christmas, aud for generations this cus- tom was strictly adhered to, so that many who objected to touch a card at any other time relaxed their prejudices and played a few games at this festive season. As late as the year 1783 The European Magazine for December says: ‘This being the season when and when only card playing is permitted in seber families for the recreation of men, wo- men and children,’’ etc.,‘‘it may not be out of place to give a few observations on games which at uo distant time were the most popular.’’ Among these games brag is spoken of as ‘peculiarly adapted to the feir and softer sex, and therefore 60 much in vogue among the ladies of distinction that hereby they ‘squire a decent assurance and compe- tency of countenance so absolutely nec- essary in life, and remedy that shame- facedness, which is a defect of nature, by the assistance of her handmaid art.’’

The passion for gaming which was prevalent in the days of Queen Anne ‘went on steadily increasing during the reigns of the threes Georges. The Gen- tleman’s Magazine for 1753 tells us that ‘‘his majesty played at St. James’ pal- ace on Twelfth Night for the benefit of the groom porter. Fortune favored the royal family—the Duke of Cumberland won £3,000.’’ The spirit of gambling was by this time no longer confined to the court, it had broken loose over the whole land, the taste was universal and alike indulged in by both men and wo- nmeu.-—Pall Mall Magazine.
