Chess with Living Pieces.

Although Rabelais gives humorous
account OF a game Of chess played with
living pieces, and on the continent and
in India the quaint spectacle has been
FROM time to time repeated, often with
great splendor, representations of the
kind have been rare until recently in
England, the show given under the aus
pices Of Lord Brassey at Hastings hay

At Hengler's cirque tournament of
this kind was given under distinguished
management on behalf of che Women s
Help society, Two pretty games We're
played by Mr.. Moresby Chimney and
the Hon. Everard Fielding, the red king
and queen being the Hon. William Ash

The contest was drawn, red and white

HSya.d the Dead Mans Pardon,

pawnbroker Ruben started in business

More Fireproof Materials.

Another process for fileproofng com
bustible materials is reported from Rus
sa the medium being described as a
paste. which is said TO have been tested
with most satisfactory results by the
Moscow Imperial society. A slantv
was built entirely OF straw, and after
being covered with the paste, was sub
Jected to hot fire, the only effect being
TO change the straw from a yellow to 4.
reddish brown color without igriting or
even cracking.
The society referred to has conse-
quently made arrangements, j. IS said
to introduce the use of this new inyen-
ton throughout the empire, considering
it from every point Of view as of the
highest value in villages or localities
where the houses are. as rule. matched
with straw. and where fires. once started
frequently make a clean sweep of the
place. The cost OF the preparation is
very small. New York Telegram

MIX as Fire Extingui,her

Lightning recently struck the hagpole
on the Eastford hotel, at Oxford, Md, IA
large building which was formerly the
Maryland Military and Naval academy,
and set fire to the cupola. causing much
CONSERVATION among the guests and
threatening to destroy The house. This
would have been the case bat for the
rain which was falling at the time and
the efforts Of the proprietor. who used
milk as an extinguisher, it is stated, in
accordance with an old superstition that
water will not put out fire caused by
lightning. How long this antique fall
'acy has clouded the minds of the sHper.
stitious is not known, but that it has
come down from remote times will hare!
ly be questioned
The hotel proprietor, believing that
water would not save his premises. was

Free lunches are unknown in England.

Ihe New silver Designs.

''lt is not likely that another compe-
tition will ever be tried for the produc-
ton of designs for United States coins"
said Assistant Director of the Mint Pres
ton. fThe one just ended was too
wretched failure. Doubtless it was
the first contest Of the sort ever opened
by any government to the public at
large The result is not very fiattering
to the boasted artistic development of
this country, inasmuch as only two of
the 800 suggestions submitted were good
enough to receive honorable mention
SO the affair has been handed over to the
engraving force of the Philadelphia
mint, which will produce the dies re-
qulTed according 10 such patterns as its
own sense of the beautiful suggests"
The designs for Uncle Sans coins
hitherto have been produced at the
money making establishment at Phila-
delphia. where the dies for all the minte
are turned out. Anticipating a severe
popular criticism, the chief engraver
will do his utmost to render the FIVE
cameo pictures called for as unexcep-
tional as possible. esthetically speaking.
There must be substitute of some kind,
| representing Liberty, for the sehoolmarm
on the dollar, the reverse of which re-
quires q better type Of bird than the
| present buzZard.
Also the eunprepossessing female, seated
| upon a cotton bale. is to be removed
| from the half dollar, quarter and dime.
| Plaster casts of the patterns evolved will
| be submitted for approval to the director
of the mint .nd the secretary of the
| treasury. and as soon as they have been
| pronounced satisfactory dies will be
made and small change Of new and love
| ly mold will thereafter jingle in the
pockets Of the people.
No alteration is to be made in the gold
coins. because they are really exquisite
now, and could hardly be improved upon.
| 1t is realized that the money of nation
| is expressive Of IT'S art culture There
fore. lest posterity imagine the present
| generation to have been barbarous, it is
| desirable that our silver pieces should be
| as handsome IA may be.-Washington
