On reference to the books OF the

have remained mystery, if shop

intense if heeting pain, and touched

There are sights Of special moment

from the giant trees of the Pacific

of the building is shown a cross-see-
ton fourteen feet in diameter. The
tree was AS years old in 1892, the
label informs the reader. In strong
contrast to the dark colored wood are
two giant bamboos, which cross above
the redwood and extend clear to the
ceiling of the building. The sides of
this center piece are formed of repre-
sentative woods of the world. Red
wood is attractively displayed in the
California exhibit, both in the natural
state and worked into planks, either
rough or polished. To The left of the

The Atmosphere of Home.

Household hygiene is by no means
limited to sanitary dwellings, and suit
able diet and dress. 1t extends to what
may be called the atmosphere of the
home and includes the influence of
thoughts and emotions upon the body.
1t is a physiological fact that a spirit
of gloom or constant fault-finding in
the family, beside depressing the spirits,
actually reacts upon the vital forces.
Morbid tendencies are strengthened
and incipient diseases are helped to de-
velop in the homes which lack the
healthful stimulus of cheer and kind
ness. Violent emotions derange diges-
ton. A child who is allowed to indulge
in fits of anger receives harm in the
physical as well as the moral nature.
1t is the exception to find a nissan
thrope, a cynic or a chronic grumbler
in the possession of good health. For
hygienic reasons alone, were there no
higher motive to influence parents, it
pays to flood the home with the sun
shine of love and the joy of religion

AN ANCIENT GAME.
1t was Played by the Chinese in the Sixth
Century.

1t was Played by the Chlnese In the SlNth
Century.
Among the great Chinese games
which have continued popular with the
inhabitants of the celestial empire for
thousands of years is the game of Wei
chi" which undoubtedly has for a long
period of time more or less eclipsed
numerous others. This game is CON
sidered by the Chinese much superior
to their chess, which is but slightly diff
fcrcnt from ours, and is notably the
Syccial game of the literary class, while
military men. as a rule, indulge in
chess. Wei-chi possesses interesting
features, and requires great skill in
playing. 1t has for us the merit of alb
solute novelty, because it differs essen
tally from those with which we are
familiar. Unlike chess or draughts,
the men are never taken, but remain
where they are played. The game
i not a series OF skillful evolutiOns, but
Il successive occupation of points which,
joined together. give a final winning
position. Though the game IS on a very
extensive scale-the bOOrd containing
three hundred and sixty-one places. and
the men employed being nearly two
hundred a side-still it is very simple
in principle, all the men having the
same value and the same powers. To
achieve the object of the game on such
an extensive board requires great fore
sight and profound calculation. This
object is to occupy as much space on the
board as possible. He who at the n
of the game commands most places has
won. This can be carried out in two
ways-by incloSing empty spaces on the
board with a certain number of ones
men. and by surrounding and capturing
the enemy's men. This ancient game
was first mentioned in Chinese writings
about b. c.. 625. and was probably de-
rived from the Babylonian astronomers,
who were about that period the teach
ers OF the East. Chinese emperors have
been exceedingly fond Of the game,
though it subjects them to the necessity
Of forgetting their rank, those who
play with them having to sit in their
presence. 1t is recorded OF an emperor
of the fourth century that on one occa'
sion he made an irregular move. The
courtier who was playing with him
held the monarch's finger. and. it IS re-
corded, the emperor was not in the least
offended. This incident was considered
of sufficient Importance TO be sclemnlv
recorded in history.-Chicago Journal.

A BOLD HOLD-UP.
A Robbery on the Highway, a la
Dick Turpin.

A AeOoOCAI VII shN Aes
Dick Turpin.
AT 7:30 last evening a highway rob-
berry was committed on the Mendoza
road i'll the woods mile beyond the
high bridge which would be exceed
ingly startling had not crime become
commonplace in st. Paul. At o'clock
in the evening a guest of the Mer-
chants, whose name could not be
learned, but who is described as large,
fine-looking and we'll dressed man,
walked from the Merchants down to
the union depot and hired Joseph
Fontaln. who was standing there with
his one-horse coupe, to take him to
Mendoza, where he said his wife was
visiting friends. and was waiting for his
arrival to take the $40 Omaha train,
southwark bound. The man gave
Fontain his check for his gripsack at
the Merchants, and when the hotel
was reached with the vehicle, the
driver stepped out, secured the valise,
and then drove for Mendoza.
Ali went we'll until the woods, a mile
beyond the high bridge, were reached.
At this point two men suddenly jumped
out from some bushes, covered the
driver with revolvers, and commanded
him to keep silent. One of the men
commanded the driver TO hand over his
valuables, and the other opened the
coupe door and commanded the man
inside to do likewise. The driver had
1925 and silver watch. The man
inside had s40.25 and gold watch. All
these were taken. Then the robbers
commanded the driver to move on as
fast as his horse could run, and not to
look back. They held their reyolvers
upon him while he proceeded to obey.
Fontain says he ventured to look back
after he started his horse and saw the
robbers walking leisurely toward the
city. 1t is safe to believe that they
came into the heart of the city with a
feeling of perfect security, and that if
they did not fall upon other victims it
was not their fault.
Fontain took his passenger to Men
dota, and received for his work the 25
cents the robbers had overlooked in the
possession of the man. Fontain re-
turned to the city in all haste and re-
