Memory in Chess.PIaYing.

Wonderful as are the feats of chess
players who can work out game or
series Of games without seeing the
board, says the London Lancet, there
is nothing really remarkable in them.
When once mastered, the trick is not
only fairly easy of performance, but the
fact that the process is purely mental
rather facilitates than impedes the ac-
tion of the mind. To the "blindfold-
ed" chess-player there is present a
mental picture Of the board with the
pieces in position. He can change the
position OF the men as easily as he can
think, and after he has once mastered
the difficulty of fixing the mental
picture it is distinctly before him.
Some players, who do not in their COM
mon process of memory use picture
phantoms, work ont the moves as
algebraical positions are occasionally
worked, by phantoms of sound but,
as q rule, chess. players are mental pic.
ture readers, and can at pleasure cali up
any Of the several pictures of boards as
they last conceived them.
The most difficult feat, and one which
very few mental chess-players can ac-
complish, is to play two or three moves
simultaneously, the moves made by
opponents being told them in close Sc
quence, and their own moves being
directed after all the reports of the pro-
ceedings of their opponents have been
received, Thus, il there be several
players against the one mental player.
he must be told and remember what
each of his adversaries has done before
be begins to give the instructions for
his several counter-moves. In this ex-
plot the most perfect development of
the mental faculty of distinct picturing
and the displacement and recall of
mental pictures at will is exhibited.
The prodigious difficulty of the feat
can only be realized in the attempt to
perform it. Even the expert blind
folded chess player can rarely succeed
in accomplishing the performance we
have attempted to describe.

NightfalI.
Lie still. Oh heart I

4Ao rhhf VI uttItl
Crush out thy vainness and unreachod desires
Mark how the sunset fires,
Which kindled all the west with red end gold,
Are slumbering meath the amethystine glow
o the receding day, whose tale is told,
Stay, stay thy questionings; what would'sl
thou know.
Oh anxious heart
Soft is the air;
And not a leaAet rustles to the ground
To break the calm around, es.
Creep little wakeful heart, into thy nest
The world is full Of flowers even yet
Close fast thy dewy eyes, and be at rest,
Pour ont thy plants at day, If thou must fret
Day is for care.
Now, turn to God.
Night is too beautiful for us to cling
To selfish sorrowing. .Ath
o memory the grass is ever green
Above tho grave but we have brighter thing,
Than thou hast ever claimed or known, Iween
Day is for tears. At night, the soul hatf
To leave the sod.
The thoughts Of night,
That comes to us like breath of primrose tears
That comes like the sweet rhyme
OF pure thought expressed, lulls all oui
fears.
And stirs the angel that is in us-night,
Which Is sermon to the soul that hears
Hush for the heavens with starlets are alight
Thank God for night

The Garth gives us treasure four-fold for al
that we give to its bosom;
The care we bcstow on the plant comes back In
the bud and the blossom.
The sun draws the sea to the hky, Oh, stillesi
and strangest of powers,
And returns to the hills and the meadows the
gladness of bountiful showers.
The mother regains her lost youth in the
beauty and youth of her daughters,
We are fed after many long days by the bread
that we cast on the waters.
Never joy do we cause but we for tha. Joy arc
the gladden.
Never heart do we grieve but wo for tho
grieving are sadder.
Never a slander so vile as the lips of the will
ing rehearser.
And curses, though long, loud, and deep, como
home to abide with the cursor.
He who doth give of his best, of that best is The
certainest user,
And he who withholds finds himself of his
gaining tho pitiful loser.
Tho flowers that arc strewn for the dead bloom
first in the heart Of the living,
And this is the truest Of truths, that the best
OF q gift is the giving

A Mormon Miracle.

Among the supernatural powers with
which tho imagination Of Jealous Nor
mons still invest their bishops is that Of
quieiing vicious horses and inducing
balky ones TO move ON by the laying on
of hands. Great amusement was re-
Gently caused in street of Salt Lake
City by the performances Of a balky
horse whose owner had hired bishop
for S3 to reconcile the beast TO his
work. The imposition seemed to besuc-
cessful at first and GENTLE spectators
were discounted. But presently the
animal stopped again to kick the wagon
into kindling wood and then darted
down the street with nothing but the
shafts behind him.

Utilizing Tin Scraps.

About the last refuse article to be
turned TO any account would seem to
be tin scraps. Leather waste and other
refuse in various kinds Of manufacture
have been one after another utilized in
the arts, but tin scraps have been re.
garded as utterly good for nothing. At
tempts have been made, it is said, in
France, England and other countries
to extract value from them unayailngly.
Two Philadelphia mechanics have,
however, succeeded in utilizing this
cast-off material. They began their
experiments few years ago by melt
ing down tin scraps and galvanized
iron refuse, ard have succeeded
in procuring superior article
of iron from them. They are now
regularly engaged In the business,
and employ sixteen or eighteen work
men. They pay S8 per ton for tin
SCRAPS delivered on the premises.
These are placed In furnace and car
bombed TO such an extent as to make a
soft iron or semi-steel. 1t is claimed
that one ton OF scraps will make ton
Of metal. and by condensing the fumes
from the furnaces with the water,
eighty pounds of oxide of tin are recov-
cred. The latter article is said to be
very valuable. By introducing pure
carbon in pulverized state into the
melt graphite enters into the metal,
greatly improving it. The metal pro-
duced at the establishment-about
three tons per dsy--is worked mp on
the premises into semi-steel CRATE bars,
street-car boxes, sad-irons, etc.
