THE GAME OF CHESS
Finest Mental Drillniaster tUe World
Han Ever Known
When the Romans placed over the
door of the temple of Janus Ex Ori
ente Lux et Ludus Scacchorum Out
of the East Came Light and the Game
of CnesB they spoke of the two great
est bequests that the storied east had
ever made to the young and aggressive
west the light of religion and the
greatest mental achievement of man
since he came through Edens frown
ing portals
In the middle ages when the monks
and abbots watched from afar the bru
tal soldiery of Christendom swooping
down like a pestilence on the shnny
plains of the south they chanted A
furore Normanorum libera nos O Dom
ine Prom the fury of the North
men deliver us O God and returned
to chess all that -was left a noble -soul
in a vain ana turbulent world
Chess Is the finest mental drillmaster
the world has ever known As a mind
trainer it ranks above Greek and dia
lectics
But above all it is the science of bat
tle It is war without bloodshed it is
strife on equal terms which all tho
race loves and to which from the cradle
to the grave all mortality is subject
Charleston News and Courier
The Prim Dutch Girl
The etiquette of Holland is exceeding
ly strict in all classes The young girl Is
most carefully chaperoned and she
never goes anywhere even to church
unless accompanied by her parents
some male relative or other equally
trusted attendant At a dance the
parents sit round the walls sipping
their coffee or wine and the young
men must make the best of their
chances In the opportunities afforded
by the dance for when It pleases the
guardians to depart there Is no help
for It the girls must go too An un
married girl always takes the right
arm of her escort while the matron
takes the left perhaps because it Is
nearer the heart
An Example
One of the most intimate friends of
M Dumas fils was a retired naval of
ficer who lived In a distant corner of
Normandy As soon as the author of
Camllle died the officer went over
all the letters which he had received
from Dumas and destroyed every one
which referred to any private affairs of
tho author Where letters also con
tained literary and philosophical dis
cussions he carefully blotted out the
personal parts in order that nothing
of a personal nature might ever reach
a publisher This is an example not
often followed
Came For Iiiberallty
An old Georgia darky who had buried
his money forgot to blaze the tree
which stood near the spot Getting
mixed as to tho locality he knelt down
and asked the Lord to guide him to the
place While he was praying a storm
came up and lightning struck the near
by tree and he found his cash

THE TABLES OF STONE
A Cnrlonn Calculation From
SARDINES
The Way Tliey Are Coolced and
the
Tnlmad and the Bible
Did you ever figure on the proba
ble size and Immense strength of
Moses basing your calculations on the
dimensions of the tables of stone as
given by the Talmudlc writers Iu
the Talmud folio 3S column 8 it is
said thttt the tables of stone upon
which the commandments were writ
ten were six ells long six ells broad
and three ells thick In the Bible
Exodus xxxll 15 we are told that
Moses went down from the mount
and the two tables of the testimony
were ln his hand
Hand mhidyou not hands though
It must be admitted that It would have
taken a strong pair of hands to per
form the task of carrying them even
on the level Now we will put the
Talmudlc and the Biblical accounts to
gether and apply the mathematical
rule The Hebrew ell or cubit was at
Its least estimate a measure of eight
een inches which would have made
each of the tables a stone block nine
feet long nine feet wide and four and
one half feet tliick If common stone
weighed as much to the square foot
then as it does now the tables would
tip the beam at about twenty eight
tons Was Moses one of the giants
of those days or has some one made a
mistake In calculations or in the state
ment of supposed facts Exchange

pared For Market
Sardines are caught in nets and after
being well washed the heads are cut
off and the fish are sprinkled lightiy
with salt After lying for a few hours
they are placed on grids in rows almost
perpendicular The frames are then
placed in pans containing boiling olive
oil The oil is changed as soon as it
becomes too black and dirty for con
tinuing the cooking process
As soon as the fish are considered
sufficiently cooked they are withdrawn
from the pans of oil and the grids are
placed on the tables covered with zinc
the surface of the table inclining to
ward a groove in the center The oil
is thus carried to a vessel prepared to
receive it Round the table stand tho
women whose business it is to pack tho
fish closely and uniformly in boxes
The boxes being full the fish are cov
ered with fresh oil and the lids are then
soldered down Thus hermetically
sealed the are placed in iron baskets
and immersed in boiling water The
smaller boxes are thus boiled for half
an hour and the larger ones somewhat
longer In proportion to size of box
The fish are then ready for the market
Pearsons Weekly
The WearlnR of Hnts
More or less of a modern habit is the
constant wearing of hats Even as late
as 1739 Horace Walpole mentions as a
matter of course that he never wears a
hat Remember he says writing to
a friend notoriously careless about his
dress who was expected home from
Holland everybody that comes from
abroad is supposed to come from
France and whatever they wear at
their first reappearance immediately
grows the fashion Now if as is very
likely you should through inadver
tence change hats with the master of a
Dutch smack in a weeks time we shall
all be equipped like Dutch skippers
You see I speak very disinterestedly
for as I never wear a hat myself it is
indifferent to me what sort of a hat I
dont wear

A contributor to the Transactions of
the Devonshire association says that
when lie came to a certain place as
vicar he asked whether there were
any sick to be visited
Oh no sir was the answer
Nobody is ever ill in Berrynarbor
There is an old man to be sure over
ninety who has taken lately to his bed
but there haint much the matter with
him that I know of
I thought to myself added the
vicar of the story of the Scotchman
who said to his doctor
Ye pu a vara long face doctor
Dye think Im dangerously ill
Na na was the reply I dont
think yere dangerously ill but I think
yere dangerously old
The MlHsinpr Key
One telegraph operator was telling
another of a quarrel he had had with
another at the other end of a wire
I gave him fits over the wire for
about two minutes
What did he say
Did not give him a chance to say
anything I just opened the key and
he could not come back at me
Goodness put in a bystander
wouldnt It be fine if we could Avork a
scheme like that in matrimony Just
open the key and that would be the
end of it1 New York Tribune
Trees
Authorities on forestry say that
seventy five years are required for the
oak to reach maturity for the ash
larch and elm about the same length
of time for the spruce and fir about
eighty years After this time their
growth remains stationary for some
years and then decay begins There
are however some exceptions to this
for oaks are still living which are
known to be 1000 years old
