In the neighborhood of Halberstadt,
in WestpiIalia, is the village OF Stro-
beck, where chess is taught at school
to every young villager. An exami-
nationin the game is held annually in
the upper form of the school. and the
best six players, who, however, have
to be victorious three times running,
are presented with a chess board, and
Toasted fora whole long summers day.
The custom is said to have originated
several centuries ago, when a recalci-
trant priest from Halberstadt was sent
into exile at Strokeck. Time hanging
somewhat heavily on his hands, he in.
structed the peasants in the game of
chess, and ever since then the game
has gone down from generation to
generation. The pride and glory Of
the village is an old chess board,
which is kept in their board room by
the elders Of the village, and which
the great elector presented to the peas
ants after he had played chess with
them when passing through the vii
lage. The edge of the board represents,
in delicate wood carving, the village
of Strobeck, and the figures are of sill
e for one, and silver gilt for the
other side. The peasants tell also a
tale of how Frederick the Great once
played chess with their mute fore.
fathers, but there is no tangible sign
that the Alte Fritz has really added to
the fame Of the Strobeck chess play

The New Fiber Plant.

A new fiber plant has been discov.
cred Oh the Isle Of Trinidad which
promises to be an improvement on ra-
ME. 1t was found by an agriculturist
named I. j. st. Hill, who has called it
''maholtine," but whose scientific no.
menclaturc is abutilon periplocifo-
lium. The great thing with this plant
is that the ribbons at nearly all times
of the year are easily detached from
the WOODEN portion by simply stripping
them with the hand, and therefore a
decorticating machine is not required
as for ramie. When it is known how
readily the stems allow themselves to
be deprived of their coating of bark
and fiber il will be seen what an add
vantage this simple fact gives the new
product over many of the fiber pro-
ducing plants. All that is required is
to cut the stems, which are fully ten
feet long, split the bark at the larger
end and strip off the bark from end TO
end without stopping, as fortunately
the stems have no side branches. Sam
pies submitted TO London brokers were
fayorably reported on and were val

He Hired Him.

Not many weeks ago 4 popular
young Chicagoan was welded to the
girl of his choice, and the happy pair
started of after the ceremony on their
wedding tour. Neither of them had
eve been to the capital of the nation,
and Washington was their objective
point. The happy young groom had
put aside a comfortable looking roll
for the honeymoon trip, and he was
fully resolved 10 do things up in style.
He wanted to thoroughly impress his
bride with hisown importance. When
they alighted from the train at the de-
pot in Washington he saw a number
of Indifferent looking cabs backed up
to the curb. but he wanted something
swell. Telling his pretty bride to take
a seat in the waiting room. he went
around 10 the other side of the depot.
There he saw a fine carriage. Wits.
Ting 10 the driver and signaling him
TO come over. he went back and got
his bride. He was about TO help her
into the carriage when the big black
coachman objected. 81 hired you"
said the young man, loftily, ''and l
want you TO drive us TO the Airing
ton" But the dusky driver shook his
head. "Io' cant hire me-" he said,
''causc the president hires me, an I'm
waitin' here for him now" II was

young man hustled his bride into q

next morning he read Of the presi-

The System 81 Manual Training Now ne-
ing Taught in Boston.

The word ''sloyc' has been seen in
print more or less of late years in mag.
azines rs well as newspapers and al.
ways in connection with the vital
question of manual training and its
introduction into the public schools.
1t is an arglicized form of the Swedish
slojd, meaning lcXlerity or manual
skill compare Morse word slCgd, cum
ming; English slyl. OF late, however,
the word has been restricted in Its use
TO denCtcu sySteIl of manual training,
Of wliiol the best known is the so
called Mans system, adopted some iif-
teen years ago in Sweden.
When tins s. ,lem was adopted at
Mas, ii was new only as a whole.
The details had been worked out and
proved 10 be beneficial by different
persons at different times and in diff
ferent countries, but not until then
had they been collected and made into
a systematic whole. Tie material
used is wood, found, by experiment,
to be the %clcanest and easiest tn work
"a most profitable selection, as with
proper tools it can be worked into any
shape or form.
The purpose of the sloyd instruction
is by no mean only to give general
skill to the hard, but also to stimu-
late and broaden the mind, and 10 ex-
cite a love and respect for all honest
work; it is To he looked upon as edu-
cational, a thing which VIII help US
all and generations Ia come TO be more
fully and evenly developed.
On the value of various systems
there is much dissent; but all believers
in manual training agree 10 the fol-
lowing principles: The work must,
l. Interest the pupil. ?. Give use

general deXterity. 4. Develop the

than any other system, while it is bet
ter calculated TO secure a symmetrical

Light In the Library.

Referring to the effects Of electric
light upon books, a public librarian
says: "An attempt has been made TO
prove that the electric light is, after
all, more injurious 10 books than gas.
II is certainly true, ifpaper made from
wood fiber IL exposed to the electric
Light, or indeed 10 the sun or TO strong
daylight, it will turn yellowish, while
gas flames do not produce any similar
effect. But gas burning in a library
acts upon the bindings Of books not
merely when they are opened out for
reading, but all the time they stand
closed upon the shelves; so that,

will continue for a term of fodr weeks or
longer if desired by those in attendance.
The object being to afford young teachers an
opportunity to prepai themselves for bet
ter work in the public schools of the county.
There is a pressing need and growing de-
mand for better teachers, and those who eX-
pect to keep pace with the progress of the
times must prepare themselves for the re-
sponsible work they have assumed. Too
many teachers, or rather l should say too
many who go through with the farce of what
they are pleased to denominate tesching,are
no better prepared to do so than they would
be to administer physic promiscuously to so
many helpless infants. And which, l ask, is
the lesser evil, to imbecilitate the mind or
the body? Methinks hear you say the lat
ter. The teacher who is not growing is
dead, so to speak, and should be worked out
of the profession to make room for those
faithful ones who are willing to devote their
lives and best energies TO the advancement
of the young. l am happy to say that the
old regime in thia country is fast passing
away, and il our school officers Will be on
