After the advent of the house of
Hanover the favorite games at court
were “quadrille,” an improvement
of "ombre,” and “commerce.” The
gains and loases of the kings and
were, as a rule, restricted to

it was customary for thousands to
change hands. On one occasion

About the year 1740 a rage for
“whisk,” or whist, set in, but at first
it was considered too wise a game
for ladies to join in. Hume, the his­
torian, never went to bed without
his whist, and even the great John­
son regretted that he had not
learned to play cards. In 1742
“Horry” Walpole finds it absolutely
necessary to learn “whisk,” “having
waited in vain for its being left off.
We find him in another letter
threatening to build an altar to
“Pam” to commemorate the escape
of his charming Duchess of Grafton,
who, it appears, had been playing
cards in Borne when she ought to
have been at a cardinal’s reception,
where the floor fell in and all the

Cards were so very much in evi­
dence in his time that even invita­
tions were frequently issued and
notes written on the backs of play­
ing cards, which on that account
were usually plain, without any de­
sign. The chevalier’s famous order
to retreat at Culloden was written
on the back of the nine of hearts.

The Silliest Birds.
Dodo is the Portuguese name for
simpleton, and it is given to the
silliest bird that ever lived. Three
hundred years ago, when the Portu­
guese first visited the island of Mau­
ritius, they found a large number
of these birds. They were about
the size of a large swan, blackish
gray in color and having only a
bunch of feathers in place of a tail
and little, useless wings. More
stupid and foolish birds could not
be imagined. They ran about mak­
ing a silly, hissing noise like a
goose, and the sailors easily knocked
them over with their paddles. They
couldn’t fly, they coukin’t swim, they
couldn’t run at any great speed, and
as for fighting, they were the great­
est cowards in the world. They
were much too stupid to build a
nest, and so they dropped an egg
and went off to let it hatch as best
it could.
“It is strange there is no mail
for me,” remarked Mrs. Instyle.
“Yes, dear, quite strange,” ac­
quiesced Mr. Instyle.
Then as she stepped into the oth­
er room he chucked three fashion
magazines, four patterns, a skirt
catalogue, a cloak catalogue, s jew­
elry catalogue and a letter from
the Royal Lady Tailors into the fire.
“Two hundred dollars saved!” he
chuckled, and became so well pleas­

“Chromosphere” is the name giv­
en to a layer of incandescent vapors
in the sub , enveloping the entire
photosphere. Its depth varies at
different times and in different
parts and ranges from 6,000 to
9,000 miles. The chromosphere
consists chiefly of hydrogen and an
element known as helium, while
heavier vapors, such as those of
iron calcium, titanium, magnesium,
etc., are sometimes projected into it
from the photosphere. The so called
“prominences” are due to projec­
tions of hydrogen that are shot up
to enormous altitudes, with veloci­
ties exceeding 149 miles per second.
The name chromosphere is given to
this solar envelope .on account of its

and is said to have been first noticed
by Father Sacchi during an eclipse.
