Chess with Errfp. Pieces.

Although Rabelais gives a humorou.
account of a game of chess PLAYED witt
living pieces, and on the continent and
in India the quaint spectacle has beer
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
plces Of Lord Brassey at Hastings hav.
ing been the latest example.
AT Hengler's cirque a tournament OF
this kind was given under distinguished
management on behalf Of the Women's
Help society. Two pretty games were
played by Mr.. Moresby Chinnery and
the Hon. Eversrd Fielding, the red king
and queen being the Hon. William Ash
burnham and Miss L. Cotterell, and the
rival monarchs Mr r. S. Ogilyie- Grant
and the Hon. Mrs. Skeffngton-Snyth.
The bishops were all ladies, Miss Ram,
Miss Hilda Stewart, Lady Berth Will
braham al,l Miss Tayler; while rocks
and knights were represented by Mrs.
Godfrey Samuelson, Mr.. G. j. Hawker,
Mr.. D. H. Mclean, Mrs. Heath, Mrs.
Charles Thyme, Mr.. Basil Levett, Baron
Won Roemer and Mrs. Moresby Chin

. The contest was drawn, red and white
each winning a game. Very charming
was the general effect, owing to the
splendor Of the dresses and the dexterity
with which the maneuvers We're exc
cuted, the dainty little pawns getting
unstinted applause. An excellent anna
teur orchestra, conducted by Mr.. Yorlze
Trotter, contributed not little to the
success Of the entertainment.-Lo

Sanitation at Cheap Restaurants.

The frequenters Of some of the cheap
restaurants Of our large towns would
probably suffer from painful falling off
in the appetite were they first to pay a
visit to the kitchens from which thei1
savory morsels come. In the interests Of
their hunger they doubtless show sound
discretion in taking the goods the gods
of the gridiron send them without ques-
tioning or demur. On the other hand,
in the interest of sanitation and public
welfare, it is quite as important that the
cleanliness of cur restaurant kitchens
should be beyond suspicion as that Of
our baking establishments.
The local authorities are empowered
by the sanitary acts to deal with any
work place which is not kept in a cleanly
state, or not properly ventilated, etc., SO
as to be injurious or dangerous to health.
1t would be interesting to know what
attention the local authorities have
shown to these establishments. .-Hospi-

More Fireproof Materials.

Another process for freproofng COM
bustible materials is reported from Rus
sia, the medium being described as a
paste, which is said to have been tested
with most satisfactory results by the
Moscow Imperial society. A shanty
was built entirely Of straw, and after
being covered with the paste, was sub
jected to a hot fire, the only effect being
to change the straw from q yellow to a
reddish brown color without igniting Or
even cracking.
The society referred to has conse-
quently made arrangements, it is said,
tointroduce the use of this new inven-
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, thatched
with straw, and where fires, once started,
frequently make a clean sweep Of the
place. The cost Of the preparation is
very snnall.-New York Telegram.

Milk as 2 Fire ExtinGuisller.

Lightning recently struck the fagpoie
On the Eastford hotel, at Oxford, Md, a
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 but 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
lacy las clouded the minds Of the super
stitious is not known, but that it has
come down from remote times will hard
ly be questioned.
The hotel proprietor, believing that
water would not save his premises, was
at his wits end for an effective extin-
guisher until he noticed milk wagon
filed with cans Of the tactical fluid stand
ing just at the mofErreea2Att-in in front Of the
house, ready-to-hand method Of f-ese1Ta SILVA
ton, pToyidentially supplied. Seizing
One Of the cans the nonbeliever in water
lugged it to the top Of the hotel and
poured it out on the lightning kindled
flames, and then went back for further
supplies, until he had the satisfaction Of
seeing the last spark smothered and the
burning hotel saTed.-Baltimore Sun.

Something About Money.

There is no place on this wide earth Of
ours where there is nothing to sell Or no
money to buy with. The kinds Of money
people are forced to use would make our
boys who are familiar with gold, silver
and crisp green paper laugh. Think Of
currency all the way from strips of odor-
iferous dried fish to beautiful nature pol
ished sea shells and bright birds plum
age.
Of course we speak of money in its
broad sense, meaning something con-
venient to carry, of a standard value, to
be used in exchange or trade; something
that costs labor to get or make, and Of
which every man thinks it would be
good to get plenty. The pieces Of
leather Of the Greeks with the rude
figure Of an OK scratched upon them,
standing for real OK, were just like our
bank notes. es.-Philadelphi Press.

a 'STRAlGHT TlP.p
The Terrible Result of Betting, Esp

cialIy on Dead Sure Thing.
Talk about your sure things on horse
races, said the veteran, ''have / ever
told you about how was tripped up on
the most beautiful straight tip you have
ever heard of"
None Of the party had ever heard the
story, SO the major told it.
"While we were in camp with Nc
Clellan," be began, Eve had some good
horses which were worked just about
hard enough to keep them in fine condi-
ton. Several Of them were pretty good
steeplechasers, too, but Colonel Blank
had a sorrel mare which could outrun
anything in the Army Of the Potomac
Well, one day a lot Of recruits came into
camp. They were well supplied with
tobacco and other little luxuries which
help to make a soldiers life bearable.
''Some Of the boys who had been in
camp quite a long time looked enviously
on the we'll filled canteens and haver-
sacks of the newcomers, and it was, per-
haps, natural that they should begin to
scheme to try to secure some Of the lux
uries for themselves.
"The idea struck some one to get up
hippodrOme horse race. The scheme
was OF course to have Colonel Blanks
mare run against some Of the poorer ami
mails. And to have those who were i'm
on the deal to bet. against the sorrel
mare. The rider of the mare, of course,
would be party to the deal and he
would prevent the sorrel from winning
the race
"Well, the details were all arranged
and the plans were working nicely. The
newcomers had heard all about the fame
Of the sorrel mare and they took the
bait like a charm. All kinds of articles
We're wagered-tobacco, whisky, coats,
boots, and not small amount of money
on the result. We who had put up the
job were laughing in our sleeves fo1
three days before the race took place.
"On the day designated the mile
course, which had been laid out on a
fairly good road, was lined with blue
coats from one end to the other. When
the horses took their places visions Of the
luXuries which | have named loomed uL
in our imaginations and we exchanged
sly winks as the horses came down past
the starter. AS soon as the starter yelled
Cor the men in the two long lines began
to yell and swing their hats in the air.
The space between these two lines
was not more than fifteen or twenty feet
wide and this unusual sight and noise
frightened the sorrel mare. Well, she
just took tie bit between her teeth and
the way she did skip down that road
was caution. The faster she ran the
more the men yelled and the rider could
no more check her speed than he could
stop a cyclone. At the end of the nile
the sorrel led her opponent by fully SOC
yards, and not satisfied with this she
ran nearly another mile before her rider
could stop her. New York Tribune.

Locked in a Drunk.

Mary Driscoll, two-year old Haverhill
(Iass.) child, while playing, crawled into
a large trunk, and the lid falling she
was kept prisoner until discovered, a
few hours later, by her parents. She
was unconscious when removed. After
missing her a search was begun, and
though they could plainly hear her voice
they were unable to locate it. The floor
was torn up and the closets ransacked,
and every other conceivable spot about
the house, except the innocent looking
trunk, was examined. At last somebody
moved the trunk to one side, and motto
ing it was rather heavy, considering it
was empty, raised the lid, and there was
the baby.-Philadelphia Ledger.

In Death Divided.

An old widow lady named Martin,
originally from Toul, and daughter of a
former mayor of that town, has died at
Vincennes under rather peculiar circum-
stances. She was a person in independ-
ent circumstances and was thought to
be possessed of a large fortune. A few
days ago her neighbors missed her, and
when the commissary of police was sent
for she was found dead from heart dis
ease. Among her papers a will was dis
covered by which she leaves all he~
property, estimated at 100000 francs, to
her native city. She has left 1 200 francs
for the expenses Of her funeral at Vim
cennes, but with the express condition
that she is to be buried 'as far as posi-
bic from her late husband."-Galig-
mani Messenger.

ProbIematic Sculptures.

The valley of John Day river, mod
est tributary of the Columbia, seems to
have become a rendezvous Of far west
ern archeologists. Sculptures, carved
into basaltic ledge of that neighbor-
hood, are supposed torepresent "anthro-
poid apes" aud the question is where the
Oregon Indians could have seen the orig
inals of those emblems. In Sumatra,
India, or some ape haunted region of the
western continent? 4 less romantic So
luton of the enigma would be the con-
lecture that the sculptures in question
do not represent apes at all, but bears or
barbarians. Philadelphia Times.

When Silk Was More Precious Than Gold.

When Silk Was More Precious Than Gold.
Common as is silk nowadays, in earlier
times it was a most precious material.
When it was first brought into Europe
silk commanded three times its weight
in gold, and so valuable was it deemed
that in the reign of Tiberius law was
passed forbidding it to all save noble
ladies, and prohibiting men from wear
ing it on the grounds of its effeminacy.
So unusual was it even 200 years later
for man to wear silk that every histo-
rian Of the time of Heliogabalus noted
the fact that that emperor had silk
gown For ages it continued at an alb
normally high price. Charlemagne, in
the year $50, could send to King Offa Of
Mercia no more valuable present than
two silk coats.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-

C.Odad---ThiS Places Mr.. Mills in
ts Lead With Forty-Five Votes
to Start in on---Ths Claims
Of the Others.
Special 1.lsgram to the sunday Register.

WARRINGTON, D. c., November 2S.-
The felture of the Speakership contest
to-day vas the announcement that four
Brookiyn members had decided at a
meeting TO support Mr.. Mills.
Thea four members are Clancy,
ChapiL, Combs and Wagner, and the in
formation comes in the form of tele-
gram ssnt to Mr.. Mills. This was a
source IF qualification to the Mills men,
while he supporters OF Messrs. Crisp
and AcMillen did not like it.
The NcMilin men especially were
chagriled as two of the four. Clancy
and Wigner, had been counted for Nc
Millln all along. There were no spe-
cially lew developments in the contest
but tbs.
The Springer men are now claiming
that tlqir man will have almost, If not
quite as many, votes on the first ballot
as Mills. They assert that Springer
had already thirty-five votes
pledged to him, while they allow
only tOrty-three to Mills. The two new
BROOKLYN recruits raise the Mills vote
to fory-fve. Simpson, the Farmers
Alliance man from Kansas, has request
ed that eight adjoining seats be set
aside for members OF his party in the
House Mr.. Simpson was informed
that this could not be done, and that
the Famers' Alliance men would have
to take their chances with other mem
bers ID the lot drawing for seats
when Congress opens. The signifi-
cance # this lies in the exceedingly
small Ilmber of seats it is likely TO re-
quire b accommodate the Farmers AL
lance 1en in the House some time, aud
tho Frmers' Alliance strength in the
House was placed at sixty members.
Now ithas dropped to elght-the men
from Kansas and Nebraska.
1t isnow pretty certain that all the
Allians men from the South will go
into tie Democratic caucus and are
with tie Democrats.
