Chess in Japan.

Chess never enjoyed in any other
country the official recognition which
it had in Japan until about quarter o!
century ago, and is now entering up
on a revival there. During the rule OF
the Shoguns once every year the
masters Of the game met in Yeddo fol-
a tourney within the precincts of the
palace. Judges. umpires, strict rules,
and all things necessary to the combat
were provided. and after the fight was
over the ranks of the various COM
batants were officially tixeI. The num-
Der OF ranks was seven in all, the
seventh being the highest. Scarcely
any one ever reached the seventh rank,
but there were generally one or two in
the sixth. Certain families took the
lead for several generations. The
revolution of 1861 put 4 stop to all this,
but now the game promises 10 resume
its Importance. In October last 4
grand meeting of all the principal
ohess-players in Japan was organized
in Toxic. Over 200 players assembled,
rating from the first up to the sixth
rank. Count TOdO, tine former daimiC
OF Tsu, who has the honor of belong.
ing to the sixth rank, is among the
chief promoters of the revival. Another
meeting took place Jan. Is. when q
ceremonial in honor of the revival Of
chess was performed. There is con-
siderable chess literature in Japan; one
work contains problems, the solution
OF which are said to make the player
worthy to be placed in the sixth rank.

Bismarck and His Boots.

Stories about Bismarck are in order
now. and here Is one which goes back
to the DAYS when he was Il student in
the university. de wa> invited to an
evening party. where there was a
chance TO dance " tn the prettiest girls
OF the town. lie ordered pair OF
patent leather boots for the occasion,
and gave the shoemaker to under
stand that they were TO be promptly
done The latter was very busy. and,
although he promised, like all sons OF
Crispin, he intended to defer the Job 10
future period. The evening before
the party Bismarck came to him.
well. how about my boots?" said he.
Cant possibly have them done, sir, u
was the answer.
'.Ah, by thunder, have something
to say about that!' roarcd Bismarck.
and he left the shop. In about half an
hour he returned with two enormous
dogs. do you see these dogs?" he
asked.
Yes, SIR
well, l swear now that if you
haven't my boots ready tomorrow
evening I'll make them tear you to
pieces"
Every hour afterward hired mes
senger came TO the bootmaker ard
warned him to have the boots done.
telling him that his life was really in
danger because the student was crazy,
and would surely set the dogs on him
if he failed.
Bismarck got his boots.

According to the Metropolitan year
book, the population of London in 1885
was under 2,250,0 900, but now reaches
the enor nous figure of 1, 400, 900 and
if the entire metropolitan area be in
cluded, it will be on the verge of ),
500, 900. The world has never known
any such city. 1t may never know
such another, for in spite of the ambi-
tious strides Of younger cities London
marches on in her own grand gay, de-
flying all approach.

Buffalo in Australia.

As there are only about 100 buffaloes
alive in this country, whereas half
century ago there were many millions,
the belief is general that few years
more will see the buffalo become wholly
extinct. Such, however, will not be
the case if a story from Australia is to
be believed. 1t is the effect that about
1929 several specimens of the American
buffalo were turned loose in the vast
plains of Australia, which since then
have multiplied into great herds.

THE NEW RECRUIT.

The recent remarkable utterances
from Senator Ingalls, have attracted
wide attention and invited comment all
over the country; and well they may.
4 comparison oi some IF lis SPecche
Of yaar ago With his interviews and
addresses Of this year will undoubtedly
disclose a wider divergence of views
than In any man within the memory.
There Is, indeed, little virtue in this
change cf heart aud head, for the ut
teranees apPrising the world of this
reformation discloscs that ingalls, was
aware oi the evils he now condemns,
but that a. knew they were popular
evils. and their defence meant the re
ten;ion OF a salltor seat. However,
he failed to properly gauge the mum
bers of the reform party, and the
bands were not loosened from his real
sentiments soon enough to allow him
to drift with the popular tide. But no
sooner has the alliance she wn its pow
er than Ingalls, casts loose from his
old moorings and steers his bark into
alliance watrrs. The scales drop from
his ewes when the returns are in, and
his mind throws off the sophistries he
has so long advocated, aud, like one
inspired, he utters the words Of wis
dem that have been so long pent up
No more striking proof of Ingalls, dem
aycsuery can be found than in his
statement in the Baltimore interview
wherein he says: The farmers of the
west can no longer be misled from their
interests by appeals to sectionalism and
war issues No national leader has
been SO potent factor in feeding and
keeping alive this very same sectional
ism as ingalls,. 1t needs no seer to see
the wisdom of the statement, when In
gals defeat for the senate stands as a
monument to its truth.
Ingalls, is western man and his re-
cent contact with the people should
have made clear to him the drift Of
popular opinion. He CLAIMS to be in
favor of reforming the evils that OF
press western interests. Whether he
is sacrificing convictions to desire for
. return TO power, or whether the
change Of heart is real, time alone
will tell. 81

Messrs. Ridgcly, Cockrill, Curtis and

lists. took a spin to the big falls Sunday.
The boys had an easy time going down,
and after resting and eating lunch they
started home. They got caught in the
shower. which, besides giving them a
good drenching, made the road too heavy
for wheeling. They got as far as the
lower smelter where they were compelled
to abandon their wheels and walk.

presses great admiration for Great Fails
and unbounded confidence in its brilliant
future. The gentleman will leave in Z
day or two for Neihart, where he has
some mining interests.
