CHESS ON THE BRAIN,
Richard RoOkwoodes Head Was Full OF
Boards and en-.

Richard Rookwoode's Head Was Full OF
Boards and Men.
A great blind chess player, Richard
Rookwoode, could play twelve blind
fold games with ease, but could not
get on with fourteen. This gentleman
died about year ago, and his brother,
who is skillful anatomist and physi-
ologist," obtain permission to examine
the brain of the great blindfold player.
He took for his basis phrenology, which
is assumed to be the explanation of the
functions of the brain at present in ac-
ceptance. The organ necessary for a
good chess player is locality, ether fac
ulties being subsidiary. On examining
the portion of the brain occupied by
the organ of locality, it was found that
''the molecules had arranged them
selves into forms somewhat resembling
chess cards, with certain marks on
the squares supposed TO represent the
final position of the pieces in the
twelve games that had been played
b!indfold. Twelve positions were thus
probably indicated by the aid of the
highest power the microscope could
supply; the thirteenth or fourteenth
boards, or what might represent them,
were blurred and indistinct." It is
lucky that DR.. Rookwoode, in making
his microscopic sections, went the right
way-for example, il he had cut at a
right angle instead of horizontally to
the surface of the molecular chess
squares, his important discovery could
scarcely have been made. For further

COMPANY MANNERS.
There is No Reason For Them, and Th,
Should BE Abolished.

There is No Reason For Them, and They
Should Be Abolished.
There seems to be an idea among
many people that there must be diff
ferent set of manners for company from
what is observed in everyday life.
While it is the proper thing to have for
an invited company more elaborate
dinner, and a little more ceremony in
the service than for the family table,
it must be remem bered that one should
not put on and take off good manners
as one would a garment. They are a
part of ones self, and whether the fam
lily meal consists of many courses or
only cup of tea and slice of toast it
should always be served decently and
the manners of the members of the
household should be such that one need
not blush for them, even in the finest
company. AS soon as a child is old
enough to come to the table he should
be taught by precept an example what
good table manners are. If the father
and mother be so unfortunate as not to
have had proper training themselves,
they should study to correct any bad
habits they may have, for the sake of
their children Let it be understood
that good manners are not the acquir-
ing of every new wrinkle that fashion
able society may prescribe. There is a
great difference between good manners
and good form. What is good form to-
day may be very bad form to- morrow,
but good manners are not changeable.
Unselfishness, kindly feeling and po-
liteness are the foundation of good
manners.
Good table manners demand that one
shall take soup from the side of a
spoon; shall eat with fork rather than
| a knife; shall take small mouthfuls of
food and masticate quietly, making no
unpleasant sound; shall take in the
fingers no food except fruit, confec-
tionery, olives, bread, cake. celery.
etc, and that the members of the fam
| lily shall be as polite to each other as
to any guest Where people rush
through their meals there is not much
chance for table manners or good di-
gestion. If properly managed, the
table can be made one of the most re.
hning influences Of the home. I,adies'

HIGH PLAY AMONG WOMEN.
Titled Ladies of the Last Century Who
Had Passion For Faro.


Had a Passion For Faro.
1t may be interesting to observe that
gambling was carried to the greatest
possible excess among ladies of rank
toward the close of the last century.
Nor was it purly for the love of play
itself that the cards were handled by
these titled harpies. 1t was well known
that the ladies of rank regularly
banded themselves together for the pur-
pose OF attracting rich young men to
the gambling table and then fleeing
them mercilessly by the system pro-
fessionally known as ''pigeoning"
which nowadays entities its FRACTION
ers to free board and lodging, combined
with healthy exercise, at the expense
of the nation.
The favorite game was faro, and faro
tables were kept by many members of
the aristocracy for precisely the same
reason as that for which they are kept
by proprietors of gambling hells.
Among the worst offenders in this re-
spect were Lady Archer, Lady Mount
Edgcumbe and Lady Buckinghamshire
! (Albinia); the latter lady, moreover, be
it added, generally was concerned in
most of the scandals of the time, and
had name in comparison with which
many publicly accounted disgraceful
might have been deemed quite pure.
In consequence of their gambling ex-
| ploits, these three were nicknamed
'Pharo's daughters, and were fre-
quently caricatured under that title.
So generally known were their pro-
ceedings that Lord Kenyon, in 1896, in

The snow was no longer coming
down straight, but slanting, and what
was that the wind was blowing into
my face? A few moments ago it was
in my back, and I hadn't changed nv

down my head to avoid the biting snow
