MEMORY IN CHESS PLAYING.

Wonderful as are the feats Of chess
players, who can work out game or
series Of games without seeing the board,
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 action
of the mind. To the blindfolded !"
chess-player there is present mental
picture Of the board with the pieces in
position. lie 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 dis
tinctly before him. Some players, who
do not in their common process Of men,
Dry use picture phantoms, work out the
moves as algebraical propositions are
occasionally worked, by pharitoms Of
sound; but, as q rule, chess-players are
mental picture readers, and can at pleas
ure call up any one Of the several pict-
ures of boards as they last conceived
them. The most difficult feat, and one
which very few mental chess-players
can accomplish, is to play two or three
games simultaneously, the moves made
by their opponents being told them IN
close sequence and their own moves
being directed after all the reports Of
the proceedings of their opponents have
been received. Thus, if there be sew
eral players against the one mental
player, he must be told and remember
what each Of his adyersayies has done
before he begins to give the instructions
for his several counter-moves. In this
exploit, the most perfect development
of the mental faculty Of distinct pictur
ing and displacement and recall o.
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 blindfolded chess player
can rarely succeed in accomplishing thu
performance we have attempted to des
criLe.-LGncet.

TABLE ETIQUETTE.

1t is with view Of elevating the pop
ular taste and etherealizing, so to speak,
the manners and customs of our readers,
that We give below few hints upon
table etiquette
Macaroni should be cut into short
pieces and eaten with an even, graceful
motion, not absorbed by the yard.
Oranges are held on fork while being
peeled, and the facetious style of squirt
ing the Juice into the eye of your host
is au reUOir.
Stones in cherries and other fruit
should not be placed on the table-clotl.
but slid quietly and unestentatiously
into the pocket of your neighbor, on
noiselessly tossed under the table.
Ii by mistake you drink out of yom
finger-bowl, laugh heartily and make
some facetious remark, which will
change the course of conversation and
renew the friendly feeling among the
members Of the party.
In drinking vine, when you get to the
bottom Of your glass do not throw you
head back and draw your breath like thu
exhaust of bath tub in order TO get the
last drop, as it engenders feeling q
the most depressing melancholy among
the guests.
II you cannot accept IN invitation tc
supper, do not write your regrets on the
back Of pool check with blue leat
pencil. This is not regarded Us "rico
chet." A simple note to your host, in
forming him that your washerwoman re
fuses to relent, is sufficient.
On seating yourself at the table, dra,
off your gloves and put them in your la
under your napkin. Do not put then
in the gravy, as it would spoil the glove
and cast a gloom over the gravy. II 20
have Just cleaned your gloves with ben
zine, you must leave them out in tn
