saes, with Living piece.,


Although Rabelais gives a humorous
account Of q 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 unit Presently in
England, the show given under the u
pieces of Lord Brassey at Hastings hay
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 Chimney and
the Hon. Everard Fielding, the red king
and queen being the Hon. William Ash
burnham and Miss L. Cotterell, and the
rival monarchs Mr.. R. S. Ogilvie-G Grant
and the Hon. Mrs. Skefington-Smyth.
The bishops were all ladies, Miss Ram,
Miss Hilda Stewart, Lady Berth Will
braham and Miss Tayler; while rocks
and knights were represented by Mrs.
Godfrey Samuelson, Mr.. G. j. Hawker,
MI. D. H. Mclean, Mrs. Heath, Mrs.
Charles Thyme, Mr.. Basil Levett, Baron
Won Roemer and Mrs. Moresby Chin
merry.
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 were exc.
cuted, the dainty little pawns getting
unstinted applause. An excellent ANA,
teur orchestra, conducted by Mr. Yorke
Trotter, contributed not a little to the
success of the entertainment.-Londo

A Word Explanatory.

The PRESS disclaims all RESPONSE
bility for the appearance of the name
"Royal" in the list Of baking powders
inserted in this paper recently, the
whole article being merely an adver-
tisement from a competing baking
powder company.
The statements in the article re.
ferred to; unfavorably rejecting upon
the Royal Baking Powder, have been
investigated and prove entirely un.
true.
A careful examination shows that
the reports from which the quotations
in said article are alleged to have been
made, where they refer to the Royal
Baking Powder or its constituents.
class it as a cream of tartar baking
powder, show it to be of superior
purity and wholesomcness, and the
greatest in l%eavening strength of any
baking powder tested.
Although 1T is unlikely that sucl
statements incorporated in a paid ad,
vertisement could harm an article Of
such high reputation and well-knowr
purity and excellence as the Roya
Baking Powder, we make this expla
nation that our readers may under
stand the true character of the publ
cation.

When Your Head Is on.

As human curiosity has never been
satisfied as to the precise moment of
death in cases of beheading, the account
of the experiment on adecapitated Grim
inal by a leading scientist of Lyons is of
absorbing interest. This time the re-
suits are more satisfactory than has
hitherto been the case, the doctor max
ing the following statement with regard
to the manifestations of consciousness
after the head had been separated from
the body: That the head, on being sep
arated from the body, remains in posses
sion of all its faculties, if the hemor-
rhage does not pass certain limits. The
proportion of oxygen in the blood is suf-
ficient for keeping up the nervous func-
lions for a brief space, never exceeding
half a minute. That the repeated open
ing and closing of the jaws after the
separation of the head from tho body
are nothing but the reflex action com
mon in cases of acute asphyxia.-St.

Milk as a Fire Extinguisher.

lightning recently struck the fagpole
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 TIE house. This
would have been the case but for the
rain which was falling at the time and
tho 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 has 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 a milk wagon
filed with cans Of the lacteal fluid stand
ing just at the moment in front of the
house, a ready-to-hand method of saliva
ton, p~rovidentially supplied. Selling
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 saved.-Baltimore Sun.

Seen During n Shower.

A phenomenon was presented in the
electric shower which passed over Lee
Friday evening. A huge bank of clouds
advanced rapidly from the northwest,
the edge rolling and stretching in a
straight line from northeast to south
west until half of the heavens seemed
covered with a monster blanket, when a
brilliant fire red light appeared in the
northwest directly ger the upper part
Of the village. Everybody thought it
was a fire caused by lightning. The APP
parent flame grew rapidly, and shone
upon the black clouds above, and many
hurried up town. In five minutes it had
spread to m extent which showed it to
be a freak of the elements. The shower
which followed was not severe, and gave
rise to the explanation by the wise ones
that the unusual sight was caused by
the setting sun shining through a thin
but compact body of falling water

SOME of the back allies of Dick
inson are a disgrace to the COM
munity at large, and what is a
great deal worse, the foul odors
which arise from these beds of
rubbish and filth are dangerous to
the health of the people. Warm
weather is approaching and these
out-of-the-way places are becom-
ing more odiously offensive and
in a like degree people are be-
coming more susceptible to dis
ease. There is nothing more i'm
portant than good sanitary at

voluntary movement toward secul
ing such. 1t will make property

In Wales the women and child

In Wales the women and child,
rem work with the men in making
tin plates, and it is not uncom-
mon to see a whole family engag-
ed on the same Job, from the
dwarfed and stunted youngster to
the father aged before his time,
all laboring side by side. Against
such cheap labor the United States
can not compete without protec-
ton. In this country the child
ern are to go to school and the
women are not to engage in such
distasteful and inappropriate
work as tin-plate dipping, but the
men who do it are to have good
wages. Hence the necessity OF
protective duties on tin plate.
