Mr. Rozenthal, the celebrated French
chess player.recently performed at Paris
another of those surprising mental feats
for which he is so famous. He played
at the Palais Royal twenty. seven games
Of chess at once, with that number of
the best French and foreign chess play
ers. 1t was stipulated that Mr.. Rozen.
thai should have only one minute for
each move, passing along the twenty
seven tables in order OF course, each
of his antagonists had time to study his
game while Mr. Rozenthal was busy at
the other twenty six tables 1t is quite
unnecessary to point out the mental
strain Of keeping thus in mind 30 large
number of games at once, during the
time it lasted, which was from nine
o'clock at night until two o'clock in the
morning. The result was marvellous. -
Mr.. Rozenthal won twenty.three games,
.hree were drawn, and he lost only one,
which was gained by Hungarian player
named Rakowski, who thus achieved a
victory of which he may we'll be proud.

But every now and then they would

The Broken Pane.
rFrom Children's iEnQlishl Paper

From Children's tEnglish) Paper
At our school was boy of the name
of Robert Rich. One day he was throw
ing stones when he hit window, and
broke pane of glass. No person had
seen him throw the stone. He might
have skunk away and kept his act Sc
cret, if he had not been too noble boy
to do such meanness.
Mr.. Hardwick, who lived in the house
where tue window was broken, was q
LAWYER, and seemed to be Of q stern,
harsh temper; for he used to scold the
boys if they but crossed his fields, or
even entered his woods. Robert did not
like to meet him.
But Robert had more fear Of doing
wrong than of facing the anger of the
lawyer. So he went up to Mr. Hardwick,
and said, "Ir throwing stone just now,
l broke pane Of glass in one of your
windows"
"Well, then, you must send glazier
and have it mended,' said Mr.. Hardwick,
in an angry tone.
"That is just what l wished to do
said Robert, sand 1 will do it at once"
Struck by this manly reply. Mr., Hard,
wick asked Robert if he had any money
to pay the glazier.
eyes," said Robert; 81 have half q
crown that have been saving up"
"WLat have you been saving it up
for p asked Mr.. Hardwick.
81 have been saving it up to buy my
sister a sunshade," replied Robert.
"Well, sir, I look to you to see that
my window is mended
Robert bowed and took his leave
That same day he sent glazier and had
a new pane of glass set in place of the
broken one. He felt that Mr.. Hardwick
had claimed of him no more than was
right, and he did not blame him. But,as
Robert sat at his lesson that evening, the
door bell was rung and package lef,
for him. He opened it,and what do you
think he found ? In the package was 8
beautiful blue sunshade, and with it 9
letter from Mr.. Hardwick in these
words: i.d
"Take this as a proof that va:
pleased by your readiness In doing right
to-day"
Robert ran and gave the sunshade to
his'sister,and she was delighted with the
gift. His father, when he learned what
had happened, said to Robert:
ave should always do right for the
love of right, and not in the hope of re
ward"
/ 81 am sure I did not hope for re.
ward" said Robert. ~ should still have
been glad that paid for mending the
window, even if had got nothing in re
turn; for surely deserved nothing. ]
see that man may seem stern, like Mr.
Hardwick, and vet be kind at heart"
