The Hindoos say that chess is the
invention of an astrologer who lived
more than 5000 years ago and was
possessed of supernatural knowlege
and acuteness. Greek historians assert
that the game was invented by Pala-
mcdos to beguile the tedium OF the
siege of Troy. The Arab legend is
that it was devised for the instruction
of young despot by his father a
learned Brahmin, to teach the youth
that a king, no matter how powerful,
was dependent upon his subjects for
safety.

A Practical Suggestion.

The Knights of Labor, in their ses.
sion at Richmond, decided to set aside a
fund of $4,000 quarterly, or $4,000 a
year, to start some form of cooperative
labor. No one will find any fault with
that resolution, for nothing succeeds like
success, and if workmen can make a CO..
operative factory pay no one will be sorry.
But the Knights might have done better
than this, for $4,000 is not a very large
sum in business. One of our contempo.
raries suggests that if the million of
Knights would give dollar each, they
would have capital of million dollars
with which to begin their cooperative
ventures. They can do still better than
this. Suppose that in case of every pro.
posed strike they calculate what it will
cost the strikers if the strike fails and
assess that amount on the members.
They would then have good deal more
than a million dollars capital and could
go into business On grand scale all over
the country. Suppose that this rule had
been in force in the case of the stock
yards strike. 1t would have given the
men half million dollars with which
they might have bought packing house
and been at work by this time packing
hogs on the cooperative plan. If they
were smart enough to run it they would
make money and soon be capitalists. If
they were not they certainly ought not
to abuse men who are smart enough. In
any event this plain is the most avail.
able one if they want good swinging
amount of capital with which to try their
co operative schemes Chicago Tribune.
