given by a dealer at a salo beld in Bir

the only one of its kind in the world.
Every card is specially engraved, and
the pack, comprises an exhaustive pic
torial history of the principal events
in the reign of Queen Anne down to
170oV-,They- include the victories of
Marlborough, the soa fights of Admir
al Ben bow, all the various changes
connected . with tho parliamentary
proceedings of the day, and tho ens

picture of lueen Anne heiftelf. and
the king of hearts represents Prince
George of Denmark, her husband.
The queen of diamonds is Annie So

of clubs is the princess royal of Prus

Princess Anne of Russia. The knaves
were represented by leading politicians
of the day. This curious pack was
tbe occasion of much spirited bidding

"I suppose the. most prominent
eause of laughter," says Dr. William
A. Hammond, "is a sudden revo
lution of the-emotions that iaj a
change from one emotion to another,
especially when the changes are of a
pleasant character. .Thus, for instance,
when 1 we have been reading some
thing rather calculated to excite' grief
and we come to something of a ridicu
lous ' character our ' tendency Is to
laugh, while if we had the ridiculous.
all through wejprobabljr would not
laugh at all. Then we laugh at at
temDted wit rather than at true wit
True wit excites pleasure, but does not
produce laughter, as does buffoonery.
We laugh at the antics of aclown, but
not at the sayings of Molten." ;
"What is the immediate ; cause of
lariiterr-v Hs-- 'i ;r 5
' - It Is the reflex. -action excited by
the' causes I have mentioned acting
through the brain and nervous sys

Laughter is a spasm of the respiratory
muscles accompanied by a relastion
of tbe mnscles of the face and some
times by the shedding of tears." ,
- "At what age do people laugh the
moatl" " -.. - -
"1 think it is not often the case that
adult men laugh; .They smile, but
laughing is in greater part confined to
women and children. A mere child
laughs readily, and an elderly person
who has Ions: passed the middle of
life la very apt to laugh at slight
causes. This, however. Is dangerous
for them to do, as thev may bring oo
spoplexy or drop dead from soma
heart disease if they indulge too im
moderately. 1 have known several
instances of death being brought on in
this wsy by old people. Then persons
of enfeebled faculties will laugh at
certain things which would not ex
cite risibility with an adult of well or
dered mind. A very curious circum
stance connected with laughter is that,
especially whh children, and some
times with women . and , frequently
with old people, the risible expression
of the emotion does not correspond
with their real feeling. They laugh
when surprised. I had a patient ouos
who lattrbed whenever be saw a
funeral, lie roeaot to err rather than
to laugb. There was another wbo
laughed immoderately, whenever bo
read the obituary columns of a news
rwper. lie said be did so beta (lie be
felt so sorry.. He would laugh from
five to ten mlnntes at a time before be
could control himself."
"Do not ignorant people laugb mora

been so accustomed Ur control their
emotions as are rerarte of refined life.

Curious thing that men will witness
the real suffering of a poor woman
having her leg amputated, in a- per
fect! v stoical manner. Thev tro to tbe
theatre, and seeing a girl taking the
part of one in distress, shed tears dur
ing half of the play. 1 1 have looked
upon many distressing . scenes un
moved so far as weeping is concerned,
but upon watching acted suffering I
have had tears come into my eyes. A
remarkable example of this principle
is that of Nana Sahib, the Indian mu

"At what age do peopUf woep most

-. The proclivity to sbed lean is very
well marked in old people, especially
when they are suffering from soro
brain disease, such as apoplexy, of
have suffered from it . They weep over
trifles. . I had under my car at one
time one of the most eminent gentle
men of his time, who occupied a post
next to the highest under the govern
ment, wbo would cry because bis oof
fed was cold, and yet that man's mind
in its best condition was one of the
best this country ever produced. I
have seen him cry for ten minutes on
such occasions.. He was suffering
fronir brain disease. . Borne persons
ean't weep even when they want to,
though the grief of those persons hi
very distressing, and is very ant to
produce serious disturbance of the
nervous system, and when tears do
eomelt is a great relief for them." .
.-"What effect do these emotions
have on people!" '
"I think that aught is better for
mankind ; than weenin'fe. 1 think
those amusements which tend to pro
duce laughter tend, other tilings being
equal, to prolong life, while those cir
cumstances that Umd to produce Weep

shorten life." - . . .. s , .
