A ChessNOard Brain.

The most wonderful deformity in
the human brain that has ever
been noted by the scientists and
made a matter of record was that
of the phenomenal chess player,
Richard Rockwoode. Rockwoode
could play twelve games OF chess
simultaneously, but no more, not
even being able to begin on the
thirteenth. After death his brain
was carefully examined by skilled
anatomists, who found, in the re-
gion known to phrenologists as
locality" that the molecules OF
that portion Of the brain had actu-
ally arranged themselves into .
combination of squares resembling
a chessboard, and that each OF these
squares had certain marks upon II,
supposed to represent the final po-
si,ions of the pieces in the last
twelve games played by the great
expert while he was blindfolded.
The doctors who make this wonder
ful report declare that it is true IN

every particular, but that the ar
rangements of the atoms of the
brain into the chessboard squares
referred to could only be distin-
guished by microscopes of the high
est power.
More than forty years ago, when
Sir William Dean Baker made an
examination of the brain of Forbes,
the shipbuilder, and reported that
the molecules of the brain had ar
ranged themselves (the ''gray mat
ter" separating from the other con-
stituents of the brain and ''lining
up'') into a rude form of vessel
hull, he was only laughed at. The
Rockwoode investigation proves
that Baker knew what he was talk
ing about.-St. Louis Republic.

Thinks Himself g Mummy.

Colonel G.. N. Groom of Lavaca,
Sebastian county, Ark, insists that
he has discovered the lost secret of
perpetual youth. According to his
statements, recently made through
a newspaper, he is now 104 years
old, although he has the appearance
and faculty of man of "a. He
says:
"About seventy years ago l was
told that in olden times, and even
in modern times, the people had a
way of preserving the dead. The
idea struck me that if the dead
could be preserved by drugs, per-
fumes and chemicals, why not pre-
serve the living? told my friends
and neighbors that I believed that
the living body could be preserved
as we'll as the dead, but as they had
never seen it tested they were not
prepared to give an opinion.
II concluded to try the expert
ment, but my neighbors said |
would kill myself and they advised
me to let human nature take its
course, as / would die as soon as
my time came. I began the exper-
iment regardless of my friends
opinions and protests, and now /
can look back and see that they are
all dead.
l preserved my body seventy
years ago, when l was "a years oi
age, which now makes me 1O4 years

tinue my experiment and preserva-
ton l do not know, being the first

pertinent. l guess that l will be

HAneEp MS OWN fA1HER.
A Peculiar and Touching Scene
on . 9alloWs.

It was = strange scene of father
and son on the occasion Of the
hanging of old Bill Stebbins for the
murder of his second wife a year
before. The murder was atrocious,
the people said, and there were few
glances of sympathy for the doomed
man among the morbidly curious
stares of the little crowd that filled
the Jail yard.
The Sheriff's deputies had at
tended to the details. The trap was
set, ready to be sprung and in an
instant send a man into the great
beyond. The moose had been made
carefully of the best hemp rope,
creased with tallow for that occa-
sion. The procession had moved
up the steps to the platform.
With business-like dignity the
Sheriff, who had been notified,
stepped from his Office, crossed the
courtyard and mounted the scaffold
with the death warrant in his hand.
He read the document in a calm
voice, as one would a notice of a
sheriff's sale.
"And now, sir, he said, turning
to the condemned man, ''you are at
liberty to speak if there is anything
on your mind"
Throughout his trial, in the dark
hours after his sentence, through
the last night of life, and while view
ing curiously from his cell the rays
of the last sunrise he would ever
see on earth, the victim of the law
had been stoically sullen. Emotion
had never showed itself in his face.
He had taken his fate philosoph-
ically from the first, making no
defense, saying nothing when the
judge had given him an opportunity
to do 80 before passing sentence. Few
noticed it, but it seemed as if a tear
glistened in his eye then. Address
ing himself to the Sheriff, he said
in suppressed tone:
won't you shake hands, my
boy, before / go?"
The Sheriff did not hear him, or
if he did no one could have told it.
He was still the business-like ex-
ecutive officer of the county in
which he lived nothing more.
Il know l didn't treat you right, I"
the condemned man continued,
showing a trace of excitement, "nor
your mother either, but word of
comfort to a man that's going to
die isn't much. Won't you say
something's"
Twenty years of battling with
the world on his own hook had
hardened the Sheriff's heart. ST.
lently he motioned his assistants
to buckle the straps, adjust the cap
and fix the moose.
Then with steady hand and un-
wavering countenance he pressed
the button and sent his father into
eternity.-Spokane Review.

to wander about town and report
to him little incidents of queer

these and weaves them into his
sermons.

The sweetest-smelling Place on Earth

The Prince and Princess of Bull
garia are now on their way to Ke-
zanlik, which is, beyond all dispute,
the understanding place on earth.
It lies on the Upper Tandja, near
the foot of the Shipka Pass, in q
valley full of rose fields. Kezanlik
is the chief seat of the industry in
altar of roses. It takes 10000 OF
the roses that grow in that valley
to yield, by distillation, as much
genuine otto, or after. OF rose as
equal in weight a 2-shilling piece.
Now is the time that the roses are
in full bloom, and the Prince and
Pincess are going there to see and
to smell.
