NOVELTY IN PLAYING CARDS.
A clever American has patented a novelty in playing cards. In the " Globe pack," as it is called, the cards are round, which gives an increased indestructibility, and an ease in handling, shuffling, and dealing, such as is now to be attained only by long practice. Besides this, the number of colors has been increased to four, printed as follows : Hearts, red; diamonds, yellow; clubs, green; spades, black; thus rendering the suits more easily discernible ; and in addition the rim of each card has near its edge a number of numerals, printed in the proper color, so that without seeing the rest of the card its suit and value are known at once.
