FOR SHUFFLING CARDS.

A card shuffling machine has beea invented by E. F. Bellows of Cleveland. It should make business poor for crooked card players. The device is complicated, yet simple in its action. The shuffling machine is a metal box about 12 inches high, 3 inches wide and 6 inches from front to back. All the mechanism is inside. The cards are dropped in at the top and rest on a tiny shelf. Below this there are five small fingers, one on each of five thin steel blades extending across the full width of the machine. When a shutter on the front is dropped, the shelf falls and the cards drop upon the blades and are separated into five little irregular bunches by the fingers. The blades separate, and one by one cards drop from the various bunches into a receptacle at the bottom, the drop being regulated by a clockwork mechanism. There is now way of telling where any particular card will be found in the pack after they are shuffled. The same card, placed on the top of the pack, will rarely be found twice in the same place after the shuffle.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

They Were Not Abnormal.

Lord Russell of KUlowen (when Sir jChats|es Russell) was once examining a witness. The question was about the size of certain hoofprlnts left by a horse in sandy soil. “How large were the prints?” asked the learned counsel. “Were they as large as my hand?” “Oh, no,” said the witness honestly; “it was just an ordinary hoof.” Then Sir Charles had to suspend the examination while everybody laughed. The Herald editor acknowledges the receipt of a certificate of memoership in the writers’ and authors’ “Indiana Club of Chicago,” and an invitation to attend a banquet at Auditorium Hotel in that city, Saturday, April 26th. Although we made no application for membership to this club, which embraces the names of such men as Joshua Whitcomb Riley, Geo. Ade, the author of “When Knighthood was in Flower,” to say nothing of a score of distinguished college professors, we are highly elated, feeling that the unsolicited honor is a natural tribute to genius.— Goodlaml Herald. You shouldn’t feel so elated, brother, we all got them.

The Delinator For June.

The June number of the Delineator leaves nothing to be desired in its fashions, in the timeliness of its household matter, in the interest of its literature, and in the beauty of its illustrations. Tho publication some time ago of an article on Old Blue China aroused such interest and involved so much correspondence, that a supplementary chapter was planned to give collectors the information desired, and appeajs, fully illustrated, in this number. Portrait Photography of To-Day is interestingly treated by J. O. Abel, and many representative pictures by the leaders of the new school given. In the athletic series Edwin Sandys, the expert, discusses swimming—its value as an exercise for women, how to become proficient, and fancy swimming; a remarkable series of pictures accompanies the article. Marguerite Tracy contributes Five Minutes Grace, a story clever in dialogue and original in plot; and Margaret Whillans Beardsley has written a strong bit of fiction in When Justice Was Appeased. The third paper in Dr. Murray’s Series on Child Training deals sympathetically, yet wisely, with the disobedient child and discusses with parents the vexed question of rewards and punishments. The departments present matter of interest for every branch of the household—Summer Furnishings, Cookery, the garden, etc.; and t .ere are also the ever entertaining Pastimes for Children.
