THE CARD BACK INDUSTRY,
Employment For Book Cover - De-
signers—Tricka of the Trade.
Few whist players ever think of the
labor and intelligence which are bestowed
111)01) the -backs of the cards with which
they ;pass an ev-euiug. It represents an -
industry which gives employment to
Scores of skillful draftsmen and even art-
: iets. No one Can tell 'glee but the public
demands perpetually new designs on the
backs of playing cards, and every year
sees the iss•ue of probably a thousand
new backs. These vary in simplicity
f 1'0111 Hues of little eters up to the most-
. complicated geometrical patterns, ara-
• besqueries and Gothic designs. The de-
signers use. a system which' reduces the
amount of their work three-fourths:
They dee* merely one-quarter of the
back, transfer that quarter to the quarter
diagonallyeopposite and then reverse and
transfer these two quarters. to the two,
' remaining. The- design is usually drawn
meet a large sleet of d itt wing paper
which is anywhere from four to ten
times the size of- the card: . After it is
finished it is reduced by a photograver to
the size* required.
The advantage of this practice lies In..
the suppresston ot any error or .even slip.
A line which is inked too heavily at one
point xvould look bad if left in its natural
size, but when reduced to one-tenth the
difference is imperceptible to the eye. ,
The SIIIDO thitig applies to geometricalfigures. When drawn, they- may be a
trifle irregular, but when reduced they
appear to be perfect. The best work in
this field is done by book illustrators and
book cover designers. Some of them have
been so -successful in the making of card
backs that; they attend to nothing 'else.
A majority of the designers, however,
take up the calling as a relaxation or au
additional source of income rather than a
regular occupation. One artist with more
ingenuity than honesty, devised a back
which could be marked by. sharpers in
such a fashion that it could scarcely be
detected by any player who was not in
the secret. This design was exposed a
few mouths oafterward *and the -plate de-
stroyed. Nev'er afterward did. the -manu-
facturers* give him employments
Dahlias anti --Bees.
The dahlia is deservedly a favorite
flower in most country districts nowa-
days. A. row of brilliant red dahlias on
either side of the garden walk is charm-
ing and effective. The flower, too, de-
serves our esteem In. that it blooms when
most of the 'good things of summer are
hastening to decay. • We do not hear
beekeepers telling stories agaInst -the dah-
lia nowadays, but it was decidedly a sus-
pect in former days. Authorities held
that the cultivation of. the dahlia was
quite incompatible with successful bee-
keeping. The bees, it used to be said,
were rendered drank and incapable by
feeding on the honey of those flowers.
Some •would die from the effects, 'while
those that recovered made little or ,no
honey when they arrived home at the
hive.—London Express:

"I have come, sir," said the English
nobleman condescendingly, "to ask your
daughter in marriage."
"Indeed!" replied the hard featured
American papa. "PracticallY you want

yee put it that way', yes.
Is not my title more than suffi.cient to"—
"No-. I want something to boot, and if
you don't Over yet You'll be *het some-
thing."

"lbhave every; hin ready for the pees
entation of the greatest rural comedy ev
er staged," said the theateical promoter.
"Good! We're al ays leoking for good
rural comedies," cri d the theatrical man-
ager as he reached or hit' bunch of con-
tracts. "Tell me ab ut it.? •
The theatrical p omotee ;laid his fur
trimmed coat on t e mahogany desk of
the theatrical mane er, elevated his feet
upon the Dresden Bed Mantelpiece and
said:
"This is the grea est eeer. Scene laid
In Vermont. Big ountains on one set.
Pretty little valley nether set. Interior
of quaint old cottag , sboveing stone fence.
and -brier patch, ma es another set. An-
other set shows bate lor of -house; rafters
in plain view, deco ated With strings of
dried pumpkin, paper !sacks fun of seeds,
two or three hams, ears og popeorti hung
up to dry, and all that sort of thing."
"Just the thing, 4ust tbe thing!" ex-
claimed the theatrkfll ma ager as he be-
gan filling in a cont act. `Go on."
"Several head of ows come on in the
first act, together w th a flock of trained
hens headed by an educated rooster. Elev-
en head of 'sheep are seen feeding on pas-
ture in distaxice. Bony old horse with
well worn sidesaddle is hitched to real
stump on side of stage. [ Real dog suns
himself on porch of Old house. Cat conies
dowu pordh. Dog and cat have scrap in
Lull view of audience l Squirrel—real squir-
rel—comes out of hole in free in third act.
Dog sees squirrel and gives chase. Great
excitement."
"Splendid, splendid!" ejaculated the
theatrical manager. "Give you time in all
the houees in our eireult on your own
terms. Go on."
"Third act shows field of ripe oats.
Team of real horses hitched to real reap-
er. Cuts oats in full view of audience.
Real cows give milk and real butter is
churned on stage."
Magnificent'!" shouted the theatrical
manager. "Have you engaged your peo-
ple yet?"
"People? Thunder!" exclaimed the
theatrical promoter. "What's the use of
having any people in a rural drama if
you've got plenty of live sitock?".

A LECTURE ON EXERCISE.
The Game of Polo and How It Be-
came Fashionable.'
The game of polo abed e some light upon
the foolish suggestion that exercise is not
necessary to human beings. You all know
that in playiug polo a big man climbs on
a small horse and races over a green
field, hammering away at a little wooden
ball, while other horse S and men bump
into him. There is no n ore violent exer-
dee known to teen, witl the possible ex-
ception of football. 1
,
A great many hundr „d years ago an
oriental prince was in what the Eng-
lish describe as a ver "seedy" condi-
tion. His liver was too ,big; his muscles
were too small; hie heart acted badly.
lie was helloes, downcast and ready to
give up the ghost. The doctors could do
nothing for him. But aloug came a doc-
tor from foreign part .who agreed to
cure him. He said:
-1 have wonderful dr g;s which can on-
ly be absorbed through tbe pot•es in the
palm of the, hand. Tb .e.e drugs I have
inclosed in the eaudle o this instrument
'width you esee." .
Thereupiin he' showe ithe prince the
original „polo mallet with leather wrap-
ped around the handle. The prince, as
easily deceived as are Most princes, con-
sented to try the new !remedy. It was
Px pla hied to him that he Must get warm
in order that his hand in ght absorb the
Litealth giving drugs. He raced about on
El little pony, as directed, i11.day long for
many days and at last was a perfectly
healthy prince.
The wise doctor never told him the
truth—namely, that thereovere no drugs
in the handle of the menet and that be
had invented the scheme to make him
take exercise. His courtiers were com-
pelled, of course, to exeecise with him.
Thus the game of polo became fashion-
able and survives to our day.
Don't be a foolish oriental prince and
wait for some doctor full of strategy to•
make you exercise in spite of yourself.
Be sensible; go out and walk; run a hun-
dred yards slowly now and then. Above
all, breathe deeply and slowly through
your nose and demonstrate in your own
person bow foolish is the man who does
not appreciate exercise.
Sarcastic.
One night Sir Arthur 1Sullivan, along
with•Byron, the English dramatist, was
at Charles Mathews' hotise, and among
the amusements provided for the visitors
was a raffie for penny toys. You drew a
paper and if 'successful made your selec-
tion.
Palgrave Simpson, the dramatic au-
thor, drew a prize and said in his finicky
way, "Dear, dear me, What shall I
choose among these'?" ,
Byron immediately took up a 'penny
sword, pulled it out of ita sheath and ex-
claimed, "Take this, Palgrave; you need
something that will draw;" which was
rather hard upon Palgrave, who had just
perpetrated a dead failure.
Climate Affects Cigars.
Many attempts have been made to
grow Havana tobacco in other parts of
the world.They have never succeeded
any more than you can persuade an ex-
pert that Australian claret is French.
The true Havana cigar must be grown
in Havana and made there. Export tho
Leaf in bulk and have it madeup pre-
cisely according to Cuban methods, and
you will find that the results are quite
different. Even the real Havana cigar
cannot be smoked for a few days after
reaching England. -It is "seasick."—
London Express.
No Terrors.
Watts—I broke ,a mirror yesterday.
Isn't there a superstition of some kind
connected with breaking a mirror?
Potts—Yes. It means seven years' bad
luck.
"It does? I'm glad to hear it. If I am
in for seven years' bad luck I am sure of
living that long anyhow."
Memory'.
Husband (angrily)—Don't forget, naad-
am, that you are my wife.
Wife—Oh, never fear. There are some
things one can't forget.
In Switzerland bread seems to play a
more prominent part as food than in any
