THE LESSONS IN CHESS.

o, the ancient game of the Persian race was
mythical, curious thingl
The queen. with her glorious. matchess strength,
the feeble, protected king,
The castle-, and knights and bishops, the array
OF devoted pawns.
The rapt and silent sages who play TIL the morn
ing dawns.
The bold and brilliant gambit, the skillful and
strong defense
On the miniature field Of battle. the hours of
deep suspensel
But not with such zeal we played it, but only
when evening came
We bent o er the board together and l taught
you the grand old game.
The moves were learned but slowly, and too
often were wrongly made,
And we whispered Ger the chess board, half for
getting the game played;
Th-1, with blush quick starting, you turned
TO the board once more,
Ard checked my king with bishop that was
not on the line before
You broke my host with 1.-THE scholars mate"
though the simple foil knew,
But il often brought me quick defeat when the
moves were made by you;
And many a game was lost by me that l might
with ease have won,
To watch the Innocent pride. my love, in your
eyes when the play was done.
Do you think you could play the game tonight
the shadows of twilight die
Instead Of my king would you check your own,
you did in the days gone byE
You may have forgotten the moves, indeed, but
know have cause to bless
The lOve-lit hours OF long ago, when taught you
the game OF chess.
o, little it mattered who won or lost, SO long as
your eyes met mine
With the sweet, shy look that / knew 80 well,
while smile on your face would shine
And, whether In victory defeat, my heart a
fond hope held fast,
And fortune smiled on the game played, for
captured my queen at last.

Some Aches and Pains.

BaCh-aChe Is often a constant COM
plant with over-worked and delicate
people. They get little pity for it. 1t
seems almost a mockery to say, Gre
move the cause" but this should be
done as much as possible and an easy
position studied while at work. Steel,
or steel with quinine, will often do good,
and the strength should be kept well
up.
As, however, back-ache is often con-
nected with internal complaints, which
may eventually prove intractable or
incurable, whenever it occurs for any
lenght of time a medical man should
be consulted.
Pain of all kinds is greatly relieved
by the use of the hot bath. This is a
hint which should not be forgotten.
eadaChes.-There are so many diff
ferent kinds that / cannot spa.e space
to say much about them. Rest, aperi-
ents, absence for time from food, and
afterward mild doses of quinine, will
be found beneficial. But those who
are much subject to them must take
the greatest care how they live, and
not neglect plenty of wholesome, hap
Ply exercise in open air. Those who
sit much during the day should be
careful to hold the body as erect as
possible.
Cold water applied frequently to the
head does good in fuiness of the head.
The last often proceeds from a dis
ordered stomach and liver. Thelatter
may be congested, and if only
transiently so, one OF two anti-bilious

liver sympathize very much with each
other. When the latter is out of order,
the former will be acid.
Acidity of the stomach is a COM
plant with many. | shall treat of it,
/ trust, at q future day. Let me only
here warn those who suffer from it not
to trust too much to anti-acids, which
always make matters worse in the
long run.
Slight colds and coughs should never
be neglected. Unless one actually calls
in medical assistance, probably it is
better to trust to dietetic treatment,
with rest and warmth, than to pur-
chase cough mixtures from the shops,
which may or may not be unskilfully
prepared. The worst of these is that
they so often contain such quantity
OF Opiates that, even when they do
give relief, they leave want OF appetite
constipation and general inaptitude
for duty, for days to come.
Chlorodyne is often taken for colds
and coughs. 1t is a dangerous rem
edy, in that weak minded people are
apt to take doses of it so often that
it becomes a habit, and nothing could
be more dangerous. 1t leads eventual
ly to chronic ill-health, and is sure to
shorten life if persisted in.
A sprain Is apt to be neglected. Rest
and soothing applications, or even
cold water, Will be sufficient to bring
matters straight very soon; but re-
member, many a one has become 81
cripple for life from neglecting a
sprained foot or ankle. - CasselPs

Potatoes AS Pig Food.

Much OF the value of potatoes as a
hog food depends upon the cooking.
If fed largely raw they produce scour-
ing and do not all digest, thinks a
writer in the National Live Stock
Journal. This is due to the fact that
potato is composed so largely OF
starch as to make cooking an almost
indispensable aid to digestion. A lit
tie raw potato is beneficial to the
hog s stomach when fed largely upon
corn. 1t is laxative and cooling, al
LAYING the feverish tendency arising
from the heating effects OF corn.
When fed to realize the most benefit
from them for fattening, they should
be boiled soft, and if grain be ted with
them, they should be cooked toget her.
Potatoes and corn go well together,
the former giving bulk and the latter
concentrated nutriment. The pOta-
toes have more value, iudiciously fed,
as promoting health than for nutrl-
ment. Although morenutritious than
any other roots, the potato, never
theless, Is Is per cent. water, so that
its nutritive value is far below that of
corn. In fact, it takes 1913 pounds of
potatoes to be equivalent in nutri-
ment to 100 pounds of dry corn

A Handy Wagon.

The box or lumber box wagon, as
commonly seen in the East, has a
body with the bottom tightly nailed
or screwed to the side-boards and
cross-pieces, and which is q fixture.
In many localities westward, instead
of having tightly nailed box, better
style for many purposes Is employed.
Ordinary side-boards are laid In place
against the uprights from each axle,
and are held there by stout hoops, one
being attached to theupper edge of the
side board, SO that it can slip three or
four inches down from the tip to the
upright. Then running lengthwise of
the wagon, resting on the axles between
the side-board., are placed enough
pieces of scantling 6x3 to fill the inter
vening space. The ends OF these string
ers are slightly drawn down, so as to
enable a person to catch hold of any
individual one. Each scantling mas
screwed onto the lower side, inside the
axle at each end, piece of wood az
blocking to prevent the stringers slip
ping out OF place. Dirt and rubbish OF
any kind can be piled in such wagon
as in an ordinary lumber wagon, but
can be unloaded far more rapidly, by
first removing one side board and then
raising up and removing the scantling,
thus letting the load fall to the ground.

Old Nictuals.

Years ago the farmers killed and pre-
pared their fresh pork, bacon, sausage,
COrned and dried beef, and their lard
And they frequently had some OF each
to sell, and it was treat to get such
sausage as they made, and the sweet,
countrv-cured hams. Thus prepared.
they were good and cheap to the farm
ers, not costing One-third as much as
they pay now at the provision stores
for the same. When one buys hams
they do not know what they are buy
ing-whether the hogs We're killed by
cholera, or smOthered in the cars, or
straw stack. Sausage now offered in
the market is usually made of such
portions of the hog as cannot be sold
for other purposes, such as JOles, necks
and hooks. The sausage, though cut
fine, is hard. tough and tasteless. And
the man with good appetite signs for
the good old-fashioned sausage and
cOuntry-cured hams. 1t isunaccount-
able why the farmers have ceased the
good custom OF preparing any part of
the hog and beef for the use OF their
families. 1t is the only possible way
for farmers to get such things fit to eat.
In leaving the farm, to be deprived OF
the rich luxuries which can only be
had there, was one of our most serious
objections to city life. But farmers
have been rapidly abandoning the
good old practices, and depend upon
the town butcher and grocery to sup
ply their table. Is there really a grow
ing Incidence among farmers to pre-
pare better things at one-third the
60
their hogs and beeves for from cents
to ) cents per pound, and then pay
from l 3 cents to 25 cents per pound
for beef and pork in the various shapes
and conditions which they could bet
ter prepare themselves, and then they
could know the meat they were eating
was healthy.
Mr.. Robinson, of the Newton Uo0
Journal. was in Chicago lately, and
visited the stockyards of that corrupt
and vil!ainous city. He comments as
follows:
Owe were looking at pen of lot
OF the scrawniest looking cattle we
ever saw-bulls, dry cows, etc.-that
would compare favorably with the
rooster fed at one of the Aultman

Bros, one OF the largest firms OF com
mission men at the Union Stock Yards,
in Chicago. Send them to Iowa and
other points West for your people to

beef, etc. coolly remarked the veter-
an salesman. 1t was the old story
over again-we raise the cattle, ship
them to Chicago, allow the commission
men, packers, etc, fair profits on
them, pay freight both ways, and
then buy them back in various forms,
the self-same cattle. If we did not

Curious ELECTION Expenses.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.I
The number of electoral placards
which ornamented the walls OF Paris
during the three days preceding the re-
election of NJ. Grevy must have been
enormous, for it took no less than
twenty hundred men TO post
them up against the walls. In the Rue
de Rivoli alone tifty-two workmen
were counted busy with adjoining the
arcades. Curiously enough, the de
struction OF the grand electoral toll
cite costs the French government al
most ~ much as the making and put
ting on; the sum of $4,000 francs for
taking down the placards a day after
the election by means OF washing the
walls was paid. The anti-Grevyists
look at the expense-after the election
with little favor.

THE RURAL HOME.
The Old Red SleiR h .

II is out OF fashion, odd and old,
But 10 me tbs worth its weight IN gold
For ms father owned IL years ago
When we lived in the farmhouse long ana low
How proud felt the very first day
| rode around in the old red sleigh
You see It's mended, here and there
Where the paint has worn. and left IL bare
And il forms a mark for many Jokes
For il doesn't look like other folks
But let them laugh and have their say
I'll always keep the old red sleigh
When it was young and knew LIES Joys
II carried loads of girls and boys;
And one with sunny floating curls,
Was more to me than other girls,
And many a word of love we'd say,
In the low-back seat OF the old red sleigh
Nancy and would often ride
In the sleigh together side by side;
And We promised once, when the moon shoh
still,
To walk together life's steep hill;
And We took our wedding ride one day,
Happy as kings, in the old red sleigh
But the boys were growing smart and tall
And the old red sl-gb didn't suit at all
And Fred at last began TO tell
How he wouldn't ride III that oid sheH.
And so l went to town one day -
And oargained there for a brandnew selsh.
It was light and fancy, and easy, too,
But we old folks couldn't make II do,
For il was painted ana striped so nue.
| never felt II IL was mine.
And in spite OF all the boys could say
We always rode in the old red sleigh
Those days are gone. Bright, Laughing freu
Is sleeping the sleep of the quiet dead;
Dick has built him house Oh the hllI
And none of the boys are home but VIII.
He is kind TO his father and methef gray
And takes good care of the old RED sieleh.
All, well the ties of the past are strong,
And some may laugh who read my song;
But when think of those vanished years
l cannot stop the falling tears;
And there's nothing on the farm to-day
so dear to my heart as the old red sleigh

SOLDERING and its Cure,

The frequent SOLDERING of horses
at this season is variously accounted
for. We have heard it attributed to
the second growth clover, to the spi-
der's web on the heritage, to lobelia, St.
Johns wort, and other plants, but
never yet to pennyroyal. But having
occasion to make use OF neighbor's
pasture for II few nights, for our horses,
we found them slobbering profusely
from the effects of the pennyroyal
which grew abundantly in the field.
The COWS which grazed in the field
were also troubled with profuse sail
walton. We have had previous
knowledge that lobelia and st. John
wort would produce the same trouble,
and now are sure that pennyroyal
may be added to the list. But we
doubt very much that the second
growth clover will cause it; indeed, We
have good reasons to know that it
does not in some cases. The slobber-
ing of horses and cows is caused by the
irritating effect upon the salivary
glands, OF the strong essential oil of
the plants which produce it. If one
will chew some lobelia, st. John
wort or pennyroyal, he will find the
salivary glands to be excited in this
manner. The effect is removed by
eating any dry substance, as oatmeal,
middlings, or cornmeal, and the best
remedy for it is to give any animal
suffering from the salvation a feed OF
dry meal or middlings; this will put a
stop to it at once. The waste of
saliva is exceedingly weakening to a
horse, for saliva is not mere water but
contains a large quantity of potash,
soda, lime, acid, phosphoric acid, and
organic matter, so that it approaches
very closely in character to blood

DIR. Billings Little Trick.

FROM the Newark N. J. News
When Prof Frank Billings sailed for
France with the children from this CITY
who We're treated by VI. Pasteur, he
exhibited a lamentable ignorance of the
French language to the passengers and
ofhcers OF the steamship Canada. In
Paris he was likewise ignorant, and
Fasteur was somewhat surprised that
scientist should have been chosen TO
accompany the expedition who could
not converse with him without an in
terpreter. He would have been more
surprised had he followed DR.. Billings
nome and heard him converse in ele-
CANT and mastery French with Mrs.
Billings, who is a native born French
woman. In fact, the professor kept it
mighty quiet in Paris that he was q
finished French scholar. He had a
Iaudaole object in view in assuming ip-
norance. He went to Paris 10 learn
something, and knowing that the
Frenchmen were jealous other secrets,
he wisely concluded that hecould learn
more by listening than by askinguues.
