The Ant,au,ry of Chess.

Inc origin OF chess is shrouded in
mystery. There is but little doubt
however. that its birthpla was in In
Ola. and that it is an offspring OF u
game called chaturanga which is men
TONED in oriental literature Us in use
luliy 200 years before the Christian
era. From India chess spread into
Persia. ana thence into Arabia. and
ultimately the Arabs took it into Spain
ana the rest OF western Europe. The
game was In all probability invented
Tor the purpose of illustrating the art
OF war.
The Arab legend upon this point is
that 1t was devised for the instruction
OF young despos by his father. a
learned Brahmin. to teach him that a
king. Notwithstanding his power, was
dependent ior his safety upon his SUBJ
]ects. The Greek historians credit the
invention OF the game to Palamedes,
who. they claim. devised 1t to beguile
the tedium Of the siege OF Troy during
the Trojan war.-Detroit Free Press.

At one of the dairy meetings in New
York state last winter, the following
points were brought out by question:
The best feed for milch cows is clo-
yer hay. cornmeal anu ground oats.
Wheat bran ana middiings. equal parts
by weight make good grain feed. II
potatoes are FED cook them. Clear
cornmeal will produce fever AMI should
not be FED alone; mix it with bran or
something else-ground oats is excel
lent. Feed ground feed dry. and never
mix ground feed with wet cut hay. Set
milk as near its normal temperature
(9S degrees) us possible, then reduce
it to 80 degrees. Jersey calves make
just as good veal as the calves OF any
other breed. but not SO much of it. For
warming and thinning cream. use hot
water. and then cover with salt. Don't
wash two things in the same water;
change the water every time. Ohio

This Dog Knew "a Good III


1t would be quite impossible for any
living being, it would seem. to be in
sensible to the charms of camp life.
One morning when the Listener was
in camp. Il queer looking black dog of
uncertain race. but broad between the
eyes, like ali intelligent dogs, sud-
denly popped into the place. evidently
upon some journey around the lake.
He looked about him in astonishment
and then sat down and looked again.
Then he settled instantly down. in a
sort of glao, grateful way which was
us much as to say, This is exactly
the sort of place that I've always been
looking fort" Not another step did
he stir on the journey.
He adopted the camp from that mo.
ment and every body in it. Nobody
knew where he came from or to whom
ne belonged. He was a total strange,
to the people who lived on the farm
not far away. He slept in front OF the
tent at night ami barked at any stran
ger vino came that way, and answered
amiably to the name of Liberty Moses
No doubt when the camp broke up h,
went back to his more civilized home
wherever it was. but as long as tina
charming spot remained in existenc
there was no other place for him. -

CHESTNUTS.
Not the Slang Phrase. But the Deliciou.
Real Nut.

Not the Slang Phrase. But the Deliciou.
Real Nut.
Tho supply of chestnuts never equals
the demand in this country, and MANY
districts in which the trees are abund-
ant derive very respectable income
from the sale of the nuts. This in.
dustry might be made far more pro.
ductive and profitable than it now il
by some little effort toward cultivation.
The chestnut cannot be grown sue
cessfully on heavy clays, wet soils OF
limestone land. 1t prefers loose.
sandy soils. or such as has been de-
rived from the decomposition of states
and shales. 1t is grown readily from
the Seed but the greatest care must
be taken not to let the nuts become
dry. They should be planted as soon
as gathered or kept in moist sand
until ready to plant. The nut should
be planted where the tree is to stand,
as the long tap root makes transplant.
ing difficult The European chestnut
is not much larger and finer than the
American. but has produced. under
cultivation. number of varieties,
some of which are highly esteemed
for the superior quality of their fruit.
The trees do not grow so large as the
American. but come into bearing more
quickly: the latter does not generally
fruit until 10 or II years old. A
Japanese variety has been lately in
troduced into the states. which,
though not very hardy is quite dwarf
in habit, and. while beginning to fruit
at 4 or5 years, produces nuts larger
even than the European. These two
characters size and early fruit
fulness-give them special value, and
if they can be worked upon stocks OF
the American species, trees can be Sc
cured which will bear earlier and
produce larger nuts than our native
species Chicago News.

She Was Preludiccd,

A distinguished English lady who

short time ago. and vino knows the
celebrities OF the civilized world. drew
this sketch OF Olive Schreiner: "a
shy. awkward young woman. twenty.
five or SO. with fine eyes poor teeth
and struggling curls that were UNI
Kempt and unbecoming. In her nerv-
Gus attacks she bit her nails to the
quick. and they were always sore and
soiled. None OF her clothes fitted her;
there were gaps in her waists lett by
divorced buttons. rents in the seams
OF her cloak and she walked as slip
shod as Mrs. Jellyby. While pos
sessed OF the bad taste OF the literary
woman, she lacked her assurance and
intrusiveness.'
1t appears now that this very charm
ing but caustic critic invited Miss
Schreiner TO her house. intending to
show off the little wild girl OF Cape

wild girl did not put in an appearance
at the candle lit afternoon tea. Hence

Creased Trousers Not Fashionable,

The creased trousers have had their
day. The lesser swells have just begun
to emulate this fashion as it goes out Of
favor with the tip-toppers. The fact
that various plebeian devices were re-
sorted to to secure an imitation of the
correctly creased effect, as for instance
by pressing the neither garments over
night between the mattresses, bereft the
fad of it's exclusiveness to the minds of
the swagger set, and when it latterly be-
came noised about that one object of the
crease fold was that the trousers would
hold their shape longer, this was the
final straw-for true swell can never
be at comfort when abroad with a badge
of economy in his makeup. 1t is curl

fashion never was made manifest in the

cred round pool of water near the old
