LEARNING CHESS.
An Hours Study Day for Two Years is Prac-
tiee Enough.
William steinitz in the Epoch.


William Steinitz in the Epoch
| In regard to question so often asked
me rs to what kind of intellect is re-
quired to make a good chess player, 1
should not. care to commit myself as an
| expert, for l do not profess TO have made
any special study of the question This
| much l can say, however, that chess is
by no means as difficult game to master
as many persons suppose.
Nor does it require an exceptionally
good memory to become good chess
player. Chess playing, N one respect
at least, is like piano Playing 1t re-
quires constant and Irregular practice to
gain proficiency. Thousands of people
take up chess playing as they do the
piano, the violin or short hand, and
never become proficient. Chess should
be taken up in a regular manner and
expertness in playing the game be gained
by persuing reasonable methods. One
point every amateur player should re-
member, that is, not to make a rule of
playing with a weaker player than him.
self.
Beginners are in the habit of asking
"odds'' of their opponents IN order to
come out successful. This practice is a
great mistake. 1t tends 10 keep them
weak players. 1t will be seen at once
that such a course ministers not to Il
man S strength, but to his weakness; he
is not put upon his mettle, he has no
chance to become self-reliant Better
by far would it be for the young player
to be defeated in all his contests than to
coddle this feeling of nferority by tax
ing "odds. - Only by trusting in him
self, and playing with all the pieces on
the board, and combining regular study
with practice, can he ever become
first-class player.
If Il man will give his attention to
chess an hour a day he ought to be
fairly good player in two years. If he
plays by fits and starts he will soon for
get what he has learned, and become
impatient and lose all interest in the
game.
| recommend amateurs to take up
printed chess problems and compare
them with the solutions; it is not neces-
sary, as some suppose, to solve them.
This process will strengthen the
faculty of precision. BY practicing
the variations on the boards an
ordinary amateur will become an expert
solver in about six months. He will be-
come so familiar with the different ideas
that are worked out III The problems that
after time he will hit at the ''key
move' with more or less rapidity. A
first-class chess player gains his pro-
ficiency by developing the natural innate
faculty he has for the game. But the
ability to understand chess, and to be
able to play it reasonably well, is much
more common than people suppose, and
the game ought to become even more
popular than it is.

welcome in his household The woman
who believes in this creed and hopes to
live by it, is incapable of gossip, envy or
jealousy. Why should any man object
to the creed that necessitates the eradi-
cation of such evils from his family?
You tell me that somebody has been
made insane by thinking too much on
this new creed?
l tell you that / knew woman who
was made insane for twenty long years,
and finally committed suicide, by too lit
eral belief in the orthodox Christian creed
of natural depravity. l have known
scores of people made insane by belief in
hell-fre. Only the weakest mind could
fail under the teachings of mental or
Christian science, for its creed is full of
health, strength, hope and peace !
have seen despairing gloomy and foggy-
minded church-goers transformed into
hopeful, happy and clear-minded citizens
by listening to the new creed.
This creed, as / heard it taught, made
each woman feel, not that she was a
miserable sinner prone to error, but that
she was a disciple of Christ and able TO
work miracles.
Now you will tell me that we do not
work these miracles, and | tell you to
wait. Blessings as well as curses can
descend to the third and fourth genera
ton From the thousands of women all
over the land who have listened to these
theories, hundreds of children shall be
born They shall bear the powerful i'm
print of their mothers thoughts as surely
rs the children born during the war bear
it. They shall be able to give the world
proofs that their mothers theories were
true.
If these women continue in the state of
mind which filled them then, their chill
dren, born under these spiritual con-
ditions, ought to possess the gift of clear
seeing; that sixth sense so rapidly de-
veloping i'll mankind to-day, in them it
shall be fully established beyond the
doubt of the cynic or the sneer of the ig
norant.
They should and shall if the mothers
remain true to their beliefs, possess the
power to heal, help, and uplift with but
the speaking of a word or the glance of
an eye.
This may sound absurd, but why is it
not reasonable?
If an infant comes into the world with
the desire to kill planted i'll his mind by
the mother who thinks strongly on blood
shed Gas our statistics will prOye) why
may not another receive the power to do
miracles with the spirit from the moth
er's mind which is filled with these
thoughts? Gas man thinketh so is
he, " and as a mother thinks so is her
child. ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

THE ANTIQUITY OF C0RsETs.
Use as Far Back as the Thirteenth Century,
and by Both Sexes.


Strut, who is Il trustworthy authority
OH costumes, says Gin "English
Dresses "Toward the conclusion of
the fourteenth century women were
pleased with the appearance of long
waist, and in order to produce that effect
they invented Il strange DISBURSEMENT
called cOrse or corset. The word cor
set appears ut least us early as the thir-
teenth century, and in sumptuary laws
made early in the reign of Edward
". wrought cOrsets and cOrsetS worked
with gold are restricted to certain classes
of the female nobility. They appear,
however, to have been worn by both
sexes, and were usually quilted, having.
slips of whalebone between the quilting,
Their breadth, together with the mOde0f
fastening them by laclng, permitteda of
their being drawn very tight, and thus
produced the slim waists referred to llg
various writers of the period. AZ
French moralist % who wrote during
the reign of Henry VI. says: "By
detestable vanity ladies of rank now
cause their robes to be made so tight
in the waist that they can scarcely respire
in them, and SO often suffer great pain
by it III order to make their bodies
small. - Gin the time of Queen Eliza
beth, - says Strut 'the bodice was alSQc
used by men, though the custom, [ bes.
lieve, was never generally adopted. -
Pictures of some of the remarkable men
of that time are represented with slim
waists, which are presumably the result
of such tight lacing. From that
period up to our own day cOrsets have
been worn by the women of England and
of most other civilized nations. They
combine i'll one the mammiIlare, the
strophiOn, the Zoster, the IONA, etc. , of
the ladies of ancient Greece and Rome.
That the wearing of corsets is q gain to
many women is evident enough from the
fact that they are worn under conditions
i'll which the wearers are regardless of
mere appearance. For instance, We may
cite the working peasant women, unmar-
ried as well as married, of France, Swift
erland, the TyrOl, Austria ind Hungary
etc. who wear stays during the perform
auce of very labOrious work, yet who,
one could not suppose, would do this if
their stays interfered with their comfort
or movements. Another example of the
