' OEMAND FOR PLAYING-CARDS
Manufacturers Report a Tremendous
Increase in Their Use, Mostly in
Private Familie‘a.
~ There has been a tremendous in
crease in the use of playing cards in
private families within the last 20
vears in this country, the representa
tive of a big American card-manufac
turing house says in the New York
Times. It may seem strange, but It is
the private family that does most of
the using of cards. The proportion of
playing-cards used in the big clubs 1s
small. There is an average of from
two to three packs of playing-cards
used per family each year in the
United States, it is estimated, which
is a big percentage of the total,
Men's clubs absorb the higher-priced
cards, which are sold at prices vary
ing, according to the club, from $1 to
$1.50 or $2 per pack. The government
tax on cards since 1917, which was
raised last year to 8 cents per pack,
with increased cost of production, has
practically driven the cheaper cards
out of the market, and business has
sone to the higher grades, which re
tail at from 30 to 75 cents. The In
creased playing of bridge has brought
into vogue the narrower card, which is
more graceful in shape, smaller and a
little less bulky.
The bulk of the cards sold have a
simple standard design for the back
Among those the best liked in the
better class are the ones with the fine
steel-engraved or “banknote” back, en
araved with the lathework design.
These come in the four eojors and now

GREAT VICTORY FOR SCIENCE
Cure Said to Be Assured for the
World’s Greatest Scourge, the ~
Plague of Leprosy.
The news from Hawali indicates
that science has at last found the sure
and systematic way to the cure of this
world’s most appalling disease. Of the
142 former lepers who have been pa
roled frow the Kalibi hospital in the
last two years none has been sent
back.
It 1s pecullar that the plague which
has troubled the world at least sixty
centuries, and probably much longer.
should eventually be controlled by one
of the oldest remedies ever used for
t. To modern science is due the dis
covery of the bacillus of leprosy, but
A 8 cure is accomplished with refined
‘haulmoogra oil, the essence of an In
dian plum, which has been used by
lepers in the KEast for centuries.
Science has improved on native prac
tice not onty in the oil but in its appli
cation.
To a world which has 3,000,000 lep
ers the success of the doctors at
Kalili is heartening. China, when bet
ter days come, can set about the cure
of her 2,000,000 stricken.. India has
200,000 lepers, Japan 20,000, And the
United States has had a big leper prob
lem which the developments in Hawail
should soon solve. While the cases of
leprosy in the continental United
States are few—perhaps not 3lg-we
have thousands of lepers in our i&land
possessions, particularly the Philip
pines. Now that the way is clear our
wedical service can go ahead there as
it has proceeded in Hawaii.

Sleily, named by its admirers “L'ls

ment—is situated at the very toe of
the boot made by Italy, as if ahout to
be kicked out of the way, and is in

eyes—the Phoenicians sent colonies t¢
Sicily. Syracuse, its principal city, it
named by St. Paul in The Acts: “And
landing at Syracuse we tarried there
three days.” Thucydides wrote of the
great sleges occurring four centuries
B. C. against Syracuse, placed, as one
writer expresses it, for both war and
commerce in the very center of the
anclent world. Two centuries later
the old mathematician Archimedes
beld at bay for three years the fleets
and armies of Rome before finally
capltdating and yielding Syracuse te¢
its enemies. Messina, another city old

more than seven centuries B. C. and

island. Catania, a city of beauty with

Far Away and Long Ago.
The brewers' parade in New York
city in 1788 has never been duplicat
ed. There were hogsheads entwined
in hop vines and a live Bacchus was
the feature of the marching fete. But
such a procession did once wend its
way through New York streets, in cel
ebration of the adoption of the fed
eral constitution. One historian says
tn part:
“The display of the brewers was
bappily conceived and appropriate. In
addition to their banners fluttering
gayly In the alr, they paraded cart
with hogsheads and tuns, decorated
with festoons of hop vines intertwined
with handfuls of barley. .Seated on
the top of a tun was a living Bacchus
—a beautiful boy of eight years—
dressed in flesh-colored silk, fitted
snugly to the limbs, and thus disclos
fng all his fine symmetrical progpr
tions. In his hand he held a silver
goblet, with which he'quaffed the nut
brown, and on his head was a garland
of hops and barley ears.”

FRENCH PLAYHOUSE ON BOAT

France has a playhouse. huilt on a

the “bateau-theatre,” It wanders
along the canals and wherever it stops
the French, who have few entertain
ments, erowd into the Fulminant te
see a dramatic repsesentation. It is
agreeable life to move leisurely by
canal and river, to stop where one
pleases, to play to a crowded house in
a salle, which is always ready, to
give pleasure to a whole community
and profit to oneself. The room where
the performances take place 18 spae

persons, and every one of the faut.

It Stands to mcason,
The other day a downtown princi

sters who had heen guilty of fight

their guilt, she turned the husky
looking youngster over her knee and
administered a good. old-fashioned
spanking. But at the other one she
hesitated. She voiced her reason
to a teacher standing near: *“I hate
to whip him. He's so thin and sick

The chunky culprit overheard her
speech. “I guess erlminals can be
skinny as well as fat,” he sobbed ac

Thing in the Island.
Until six years ago head-hunting was
In full swing along the coast of New
Guinea, writes Rev. E. Cappers in
Catholic Missions, and describes one
of these expeditions by the tribe of
the Marind-anim or Kaya-Kayas. The
practice, he says, has been consider
2bly checked by military expeditions.
Nevertheless head-hunting is still quite
frequent in the interior. On the ap
pointed day men, women and children
would hasten to the point of embarka
tion. At the approach of their goal
the boats were anchored, and the en
tire party stealthily entered the forest,
taking care not to give the alarm.
Extra care was needed once the de
signated spot had beem reached. On
the day before the attack the hunters
kept hidden in the bush, and during
the night they advanced far enough
to launch the attaek early before dawn.
Occasionally, the humters were hotly
recelved, but most of the time the In
ténded victims were roused from their
sleep by the sudden war-cry of the
whote attacking party, and had no
time to defend themselves. Victims
were felled by the dozen, many of
them pierced through by the sharp
pointed arrows.
The victors yelled their war-cry and
Jepaired to their native haunts, where
days and nights ‘of feasting awaited
them with song and dance, around the
gruesoma. trophy.
