The Origin of Chess

The or gin Of chess is shrouded in mys-
terry. There is but little doubt, however.
says The Inter-Ocean, that its birthplace
was in India. and that it is an offspring Of
game called chaturanga, which is men
TONED in oriental literature as in use fully
200 years before the Christian era. From
India chess spread into Persia. and thence
into Arabia, and ultimately the Arabs took
it into Spain and the rest of western Eu-
rope. The game was in all probability in
vented for the purpose of illustrating the
art of WIZ. The Arab legend upon this
point is tt at it was devised for the instruc-
ton of young despot by his father, a
learned Brahmin, to teach him that a king,
notwithstanding his power, was dependent
for safety upon his subjects. The Greek
historians credit the invention of the game
to Palameies, who they claim devised it to
beguile the tedium of the siege of Troy
during the Trojan war.

The First Clock.

The first clock at all answering to the
modern notion, in so far, at any rate, that
its motive power was due to wheels and
weights, or at least one weight, is said to
have been made by Gerbert, Benedictine
monk, who afterward became Pope Sylves-
ter Ill for Magdeburg cathedral. This
was in the year 996; but in all probability
the clock did nothing more than strike a
single blow at each hour on a bell in order
that the monks might know the times OF
devotion. Such a clock had no dial or
face During the reign of Edward / the
first genuine clock in England was placed
in misunderstanding. 1t must have been
quite wonder, and it remained alone in
its glory for many years. In the Four
teenth century Peter Lightfoot, monk Of
Glastonbury abbey, made a clock, which is
now preserved in the British museum. No
clock in England possessed the faintest
claim to accuracy before that of Hampton
court was set up in the year $40.

A New Code of Ethics in Dress.

The latest apostle of the beautiful in
dress has arisen to promulgate new code
of ethics by which a woman's gowns shall
be a chronicle or dress directory of her
emotions and conditions. The holy and
dignified estate of matrimony shall find
expression IN black garment; while love,
its precursor, too often only its precursor,
is robed il, a garment upon which the
torch Of hyInen, from peoples in crimson
and gold, is symbolical of loves hypno-
tism. Health wears Il gown of Nile green
with a border of lotus flowers. Life is
CARRIED in W hite Grape with silver antique
traceries. Death is glorified in garments
wherein the golden light of the sun and
the silver sheen of the moonbeams mingle
In the mysterious symbol of death.

THURSDAY. OCTOBER 80. 1891

A WASHINGTON correspondent refers
70 Congressman Springer as the ideal
speaker, as follows;
Congressman Hemphill struck re-
spopsive chord In the breasts of many
democratic members of the new house
when he declared, q few days ago. that
the speaker must be selected for his fit
ness, and not as g reward for supposed
party services. 1t is confessed by every
one that the two most fit men for speaker
are Springer aud Crisp, and if this
method of choosing a presiding officer be
followed out one or the other will be the
next speaker. Mr. Springer on the floor
is thought to be nervous and eager
He speaks often, though always
to the point. He is quick,
ready and alert. But when he steps into
the speakers chair his whole manner
changes. He is another man. During
the great tariff debate over the Mills bill
Mr.. Springer was in the chair nearly all
the time and he made a record as pre-
siding officer which will not be soon for

house at the time. lie had perfect poise.
admirable bearing, thorough familiarity
of the rules, an easy and commanding
dignity. He was, in fact, the ideal pres
siding officer. Mr. Mills is one of the
most earnest and loyal men in the world,
with great ability as leader and as an
economist, but he is not of the tempera-
ment that makes successful presiding
officer

Queen Yictoria,s Horses.

The cream colored horses that draw the
queen of Eng lands carriage upon state oc-
casions trace their pedigree back to the
time Of George I, horses Of that hue having
from time i'm memorial been in the especial
service of the electors of Hanover. For or
binary use Queen Victoria employs four
gray horses, driven by servants in dark
livery. but the cream colored steeds, known
as the sacred Hanoverians," are seldom
seen by the public except when they are
exercised in the early morning, or when
the queen appears at some great public
function. At her coronation she was drawn
by such horses as these attached to the
"gilded ark" built in l76l. This is seven
teen feet long and weighs four tons, says
Harper's Bazaar.

A Curious Race That Has Existed in the
Atlas Mountains for Thirty Centuries.
At the recent oriental congress most
fascinating subject was dealt with in q
paper by Mr.. Halliburton. 1t seems that

dred miles from the Mediterranean, there.
is a race Of dwarfs under four feet high,
who are regarded with such superstitious
awe by the Moors that for some thirty CEN
turtles their existence was kept profound
tecret. Some of them, however, have ap-'
parently knocked about the world at odd
times as smiths, thinkers, acrobats and
rracticers of the light gypsy crafts; but,
they have always avoided towns where,
Europeans are They shave their faces;
they are not good Mohammedans; some

monuments of the fourth dynasty of the

Mount Atlas they seem to have run in pre-
historic times the Birmingham of the
bronze age. There are all kinds of stories
about them-to say nothing of the oldest
fact of all-that the surrounding peoples
decline to repeat the stories. These dwarf
races, whether in Central Africa or else
where, are no doubt responsible for many
of the legends about trolls, which in some
form or another are found all over the

GOLDEN TANKAED MANGEL WURZEL.
Golden yellow tankard, the mangel
wurzel depicted in our cut, is regarded
by many dairymen as one of the most
profitable varieties. 1t is an exceedingly
prolific sort, and is said to be both nutri-
tious and hardy.
The long yellow nnangel wurzel is a
good main crop sort, as an enormous
quantity can be grown on an acre with
good culture.
Another productive sort is the yellow
ovoid mangel wurZel. This is of distinct
shape, being intermediate between the
long and globe varieties. 1t is hardy and
vigorous.
American. xaxs:ty of finer grain than the
ordinary VT, being good for table use
as well as cattle food.
Yellow globe is sort too well known
to require special mention. 1t is we'll
adapted for growing in shallow soils.
The long red mangel wurzel produces
roots of enormous size, smooth and regu-
lar in shape, with small top.
In order to be well preserved for
gradual consumption during the winter,
Thorburn advises that mangel wurzels
be heaped to a height of perhaps six
feet on a dry, slopiug situation; cover
at first with a piece of canvas, and as
the cold increases this should be replaced
by about six inches of either salt hay,
straw, seaweed, or even cornstalks. Lest
this covering be displaced by the wind a
light layer of earth is necessary. So soon
as this surface soil becomes frozen about
be placed over the entire heap. By fol-
lowing up this gradual process Of cover
ing all danger of heating will be obvi-
ated and the roots will keep in perfect
order.

Points in Cider vinegar Making.

L. R. Bryant, secretary of the Cider
and Cider Vinegar Makers Association Of
the Northwest, recently had the follow
ing to say in Prairie Farmer:
The essentials for making cider vine
gar on a small scale are a grinder to
grind up the apples into a fine pulp, a
good press to extract the juice, barrels to
put the juice in, a frost proof room or
cellar to store the product in, and, of
course, good supply of decent apples.
Ordinarily good windfalls will make
good material for vinegar, but care
should be taken to reject all immature,
wilted and rotten apples. When the cider
is made it should be put into good iron
bound barrels and ranked up out of
doors, but in the shade, and allowed to
ferment. The barrels should be placed
on timbers or poles elevated from the
ground sufficiently to allow the contents
to be run off into other barrels.
On the approach of freezing weather
rack off the vinegar stock into clean bar
rels (only three-fourths filled) by means
of faucet placed in the end of the bar
rel, or preferably with syphon made Of
five-eighths rubber tubing. This should
be raised an inch above the bottom of the
barrel to avoid drawing off the sediment.
All settings should be put into a sepa-
rate barrel. The barrels can now be
ranked up in their winter quarters, the
bungs taken out and remain undisturbed
until the contents become good vinegar,
provided they are kept in furnace heat
ed cellar or artifcially heated room.
An ordinary cellar is too cool to make
vinegar quickly, and if such place is
used for winter storage the barrels can
be removed to "a common shed on the APP
proach of warm weather, remembering
always to rack off the contents before a
barrel is moved. Never put barrels in
the sun in hot weather, as they will be
spoiled and the contents lost. When the
vinegar is thoroughly made cool, dry
cellar is an excellent place to store it, and
the barrels may be filed and bunged up.
To make good cider or vinegar use
good, clean apples; exposure to heat and
air is what makes vinegar; to have bright,
clear vinegar free from must, rack it be-
fore moving it, II it has been standing
| any length OF time, and thoroughly clean
the barrels as soon as emptied. Good
vinegar cannot be made out Of large
| quantity of water and q little cider.
Strong. late made cider may bear the ad-
dition of a little water, but that made
early in the season will not.

A Little Hero.

When the schooner Kauikeaouli
was torn from her anchors off Ko-
hala coast last week, a boy, about
eight or ten years old, the adopted
son of the captain, was on board with
the two men who brought the vessel
to Honolulu. AS the two men man
aged the sails, no one was left at the
wheel but the little fellow, who
bravely stood by and worked the
wheel in whatever direction indicat-
ed by the men at the sails. For his
noble action he was presented with
a suit of clothes by Mr.. Allen, part
owner of the schooner. And well
did the boy deserve the present, for
few older lads would have had the
courage to act as he did.
