A SCIENTIFIC GAME.-Huxley had

every one of us would one day de-
pend on our winning game of chess,
we should not all learn something
of the game. Yet it is very
plain truth that the life and for.
tune of every ono of us depend on
our knowing something of the rules
of game infinity more difficult. 1t
is game which has been played fol
untold ages. every man and woman
of US being one of the two players.
The chsss.board is the world, the
pieces are the phenomena of the
universe, the rules Of the game are

play Is always fair, just, and patient.
But also we know, to our cost, that
he never overlooks q mistake OF

overfowing generosity. but one who
plays i'll is checkmated-without
