Help Is Wanted
by the women who are ailing aud suffer
ing, or weak and exhausted. And to
every such woman, help is guaranteed by
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.: For
young girls just entering womanhood;
women at the critical "change of life ;"
'women approaching confinement; nurs
ing mothers ; and every woman who is
"run-down" or overworked, it - is a
medicine that builds up, strengthens,
and regulates, no matter what the .con
dition of the system. .
It's an invigorating, restorative tonic,
a soothing and bracing nervine, and the
only guaranteed . remedy for "female
complaints" and weaknesses. In bearing-down
sensations, periodical pains,
ulceration, inflammation, and every
kindred ailment, if it ever fails to ben
efit or cure, you have your money back.
It is merely owing to the law and not
at all for lack of gallantry that the elec
tion officials refrain from giving a decis
ion of honorary election in favor of every
candidate voted for by a woman. Chi
cago Record.
W. A. McGuire, a well known' citizen
-of McKay, Ohio, is of the opinion that
there is nothing as good ' as children
troubled - with colds or ' croup as
'Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. He has
tised it in his family for several years
with the best results and always kept a
bottle of it in the house. Alter having
la grippe he was himself troubled with
.asevere cough. He used other remedies
without benefit and then concluded to
try the children's medicine and to his
delight it soon effected a permanent cure.

Curious Origin . of Playing Cards,
Dice and Dominoes.
India and China the Source or These Fen
collar Playthings . Some of the
Games Played by., the
Mongolians,
. Who would suppose that playing
cards were originally derived from the
knuckle bones of sheep? Yet such is
the fact. If you do .not believe it, ask
Stewart Culin, ethnologist, attached
to the University of Pennsylvania, who,
according to the AYashington Star, has
made . the study of games, from the
scientific point of view, his specialty.
The so-called knuckle bones arc fa mil
iar enough, being' used to this day by
children in various parts of the world.
They are the ankle bones of the sheep,
and are . four-sided. -. It seems odd to
find that dice in Arabic are called by a
name which means ankle bones. No
body knows how long they were first
employed for playing games. . One day
it occurred to somebody that a cube
was better adapted to the' purpose.
That must have happened in very an
cient times, for the Romans of old had
dice- which jvere just like our own,
even to the arrangement of the . num
bers on the faces i. e., the six opposite
the one, the five opposite the two, and
the four opposite the three. '
It will -be observed that' the sum of
any two opposite numbers is always
6even. This may have something to
do with the fact that seven used to be
regarded as a magical number. Of the
respect accorded to it there is evidence
in many passages of the Bible. The
most ancient cubical die known dates
hack to 600 B. .C. that is, twenty-five
hundred years ago. It was found at
Naucratus, a Greek colony in Egypt.
The earliest dice were made in pairs,
right and left, like knuckle bones, one
of which was always from the right
leg and the other from the left leg of
the animal. . Two dice were usually
employed, because they . were tvrt
knuckle bones. Mr." Culin says thct
dice probably originated in India.
From that country they were carried
to China, whence they have, been dis
tributed all over the world. The Chi
nese are great gamesters; they invent
ed a modification of the dice, which is
called the domino.' Put two dice faces
side by side and you have the domino.
Dominoes are said to have been,
devised in the year 1120 of the Chris
tian era by a Chinese emperor for the
amusement of his wives- It is more
likely, however, that they merely ob
tained the imperial approval at that
date. '' "' -'
. There are twenty-one possible throws
with two dice, so twenty-one dominoes
may be regarded as natural dominoes.
However the Chinese have doubled up
some of the numbers so as to make a
full set for playing thirty-two in all.
All over eastern ' Asia the customary
outfit of dominoes is thirty-two. Our
dominoes, obtained by way of Europe,
are only twenty-eight and are modified
by the introduction of blanks. The
domino game of Europe and America is
the match game. It is played in China,
but is an unimportant one among the
many Chinese games of dominoes. The
Chinese domino games are all of them
dice games elaborated." Dominoes are
also used in China, like dice, for for
tune telling. That system of divina
tion has an extensive literature of its
own. The Chinese dominoes all have
astrological names.
In China cosmical names are given to
the numbers on the dice. Six is the
throw of heaven, ace is the throw of
earth,, four is the throw of man, while
one and three are chosen to represent
the harmony that unites heaven, earth
and man. The throw of double five is
called the "plum flower," five and six
is the "tiger's head," , four and six is
"red-head ten," one and six is "long
legged seven,"- and one and five is "red
mallet six." These terms remind one
of those given by negroes to various
throws at the game of "craps." On
Chinese dice the "one" and "four" are
always red, while the dots on the other
faces are blacflfc. Mr. Culin cannot as
sign any reason for'this with certainty.
There is a legend to the effect that on
one occasion an emperor of the Ming
dynasty was almost defeated in a game
by his queen, The only possibility for
him to win was that the dice , should
turn up "fours." They did so, and he
was so gratified ' that from that time
forth the fours" on ' all dice were
marked in red.. ' 1
Take an ordinary domino of bone or
wood, enlarge it, make it of paper, and
it becomes a playing card.- - Mr. Culin's
study of the subject has led him to the
conclusion that this is - the way in
which the playing card was originally
evolved. ' The evolution ' began with
the knuckle bone, which became- a
cubical die; the latter was transformed
into a domino, and the domino, in its
turn, was metamorphosed into a card.
A domino-with. two "fives" on it repre
sents the "tenspot" of - the ' pack: -.The
origin of . "king," "queen", and "jack"
is unknown, Possibly a. little light
may be thrown upon the mystery by
the fact that' the four sides of ' the
knuckle bone are called in Arabic the
"shah," "vizier," "peasant" and
"slave." The same names are given
to the numbers on the cubical die, the
six being the "shah."' One of the
games played with dominoes in China
is apparently the prototype of whist.
Nobody knows when dominoes and
cards were introduced into Europe.
We, in America, get all our games from
Europe; we invent no games. Poker is
an old English game modified.- Mr.
Culin says that there are no new
games; those brought out from year to
year are merely modifications of old
ones. Games are originated in primi
itive stages of social development.
One would naturally suppose that
the spinning die, called the "tcetotem,"
must be derived from the same orig
inal source as the cubical die. Appar
ently such is "not the case. Mr. Culin
has "traced: - the teetotem to Corea,
where it seems to have had its begin
ning. .
