Indian chess, or "chaturanga," is played
with a rajah, an elephant, horse and a
ship, and four foot soldiers, corresponding
to king, a castle, knight, and bishop
and four pawns, and there are four play
ers. Each player faces his partner, and
places his pieces in the order of ship, horse,
elephant and rajah, beginning at the left
hand corner-the four foot soldiers being
of course in front. Partners are thus on
the opposite diagonals. The players move
In the order Of the sun. The tactics Of the
game, apparently from the "Bhaviahya
Purana," are not to attack your opponent
who has just played, as would be done in
double chess, but to obstruct the opponent
who has to play next, The game is dis
tinguished from double chess by marked
variations.
There is no queen, and the ship or bishop
is "lame"-can only move two squares at a
time, though he can hop over an interven-
ing piece If he likes. Moreover, a player
can take his partners rajah If things are
not going well, and SO assume command OF
both armies, and if both sides have lost a
raiah they can be restored by mutual con
sent.
The game is thus pervaded by a military
spirit, though not 50 stiff but that the
opening moves are made by the aid of dice.
In this early game the rajah could be
taken, but he can always, if all the other
pieces are taken, retire with the honors OF
war and draw.-L0ndon Spectator.

plainly than the gait-the sailors roll

Slow steps, whether long or short, sug-
gest gentle or reflective state of mind,
as the case may be, while, on the con-
trary, quick steps seem to speak Of agi-

in frequent pauses and walking to and
fro, backward and forward. The direc-
ton of the steps, wavering and follow
ing every changing impulse Of the mind,
inevitably betrays uncertainty, hesita-
ton and indecision.
The proud step is slow and measured;
the toes are conspicuously turned out,

toes are rather more gracefully turned,
the strides little shorter, and there is
very often an afectation of modesty.
Tiptoe walking symbolizes surprise,

What Was the Matter with the Cake,


A socially inclined young couple who
are comfortably quartered in one of the
large apartment houses up town invited a
few friends to a card party one evening
last week. Owing to a misunderstanding
regarding the date not one of the expected
guests appeared on the evening in ques-
ton. The young wife was greatly vexed.
She had prepared tempting little supper,
and bel economical soul rev0lted at the
idea of its being wasted. One of the fea-
lures of her table was a large ornamental
cake, which she had purchased at neigh
boring confectioner's. She cut the cake
and endeavored to induce her husband to
eat portion Of it, but he did not like cake.
She was determined, however, that some
body should eat it, and she offered it to the
hall and elevator boys, of which there were
four They accepted it with enthusiasm
and quickly disposed of it,
The following day every boy was sick
very sick. A doctor was called, and his
Investigations led to the suspicion that
something was the matter with that cake.
He said that the boys had undoubtedly
been poisoned. The confectioner's shop
was visited, and the story Of the mischief
breeding cake was told to him. He had
evidently heard similar story before, for
he hastily exclaimed; ooh, it was part Of
that varnish batch of cake. am so sorry.
You must excuse me. My cook put in a cup
of varnish. That is all. You see | have
been having the woodwork in my store
vanished Yes, that was it. He put in
some varnish. That Is all"
The boys got well, and the story of the
"varnish cake" has been repeated all over
the neighborhood. When the hidden guests
who staid away from the card party heard
Of it they were glad that they had misun-
derstood the date.-New York Times,

Eating several Meals a Day.

When, as rarely happens, English
farm laborers come TO this country, they
find it extremely difficult to accommo-
date themselves to the current American
custom of eating but three meals day.
An English maidservant and nurse, who
lived to be more than 100 years old,
averred that she had always been accus-
toned to "a dew bit and breakfast, a
stray bit and dinner, a nommet, a crum-
met, and a bit after supper" Extra
meals are common enough during the
harvest season in this country. The hasty
breakfast at $3.50 in the morning is fol-
lowed by "stray bit" at o'clock and
by luncheon between the monday din
ner and the after sunset supper. In parts
of southern Pennsylvania the dinner
hour is IL o'clock in the morning, and it
would not be difficult TO show that
Americans living on the same meridian
are dining all the way from that hour
until in the evening. The great mass
of country folk still dine at noon.--New

TRIALS OF A BORROWER.

fmprovidence Rebuked at "a Loan ONCE,
Where Cash Is "Lent the Same Day"
A gentleman suffering from financial
disability went to loan Office to nego-
hate borrow on his furniture. In the
advertisement it stated that the money
would be lent the same day by Choc-
taw lady, without removal and upon the
hote of hand of the borrower. All this
looked very fine in print.
1--WE got $4,000 worth of personal
property" said the would be borrower,
land have to meet wash bill of $3.50
coming due tomorrow noon. Can get
Fitted out here so as to be in position to
meet the collector without blushT'
The manager Of the loan Office was
strangely silent. The would be borrower
became nervous and thought he hadn't
said the speech right, and so he began
over again in this style:
81 am a person of poor but honest par
entage, temporarily embarrassed. Ineed
the sum of $3.50 to meet an unjust liza
bility."
Still there was no answer. Then the
borrower walked into the outside room
and said to the office boy:
whats the matter with the manager?
Can't he talkI'
II guess it's because you haven't paid
the entrance fee. No person is a men,
Der of this loan society until he has put
up one dollar"
The borrower apologized and deposit
ed the money. Next he repaired to the
manager and repeated his original as
sertion.
1--WE charge one dollar more for book
age" said the manager.
whats bookagey"
"That's none of your business. One
dollar, please"
He paid the money, and the manager
wrote down something in book.
'Now give me two dollars to inspect
the furniture"
The borrower gave him the money.
"Now call here next year at 2 o'clock
tn the afternoon and get our answer"
"But the money is due tomorrow"
Cant help it. Put 'em off"
"But you can't put people like that
off. There are some fellows that won't
wait"
The manager smiled superior smile.
"Oh, no there aren't" he said. You'll
know little more about waiting when
you get through with u.s."
The borrower left the Office reluctant
iy and returned the following year at Q
o'clock. Then the manager told him
somewhat sternly that he couldn't lend
money ON that furniture because it had
got too old. In vain the borrower rep
resented that it was new when his claim
was filed. The manager ended the in
terview by charging him S1.25 storage
on the papers in the case" and then
had the janitor throw him out. This
ended the whole transaction. New

A Very Ancient Canoe.

In 1881 a canoe followed out of the
trunk Of tree was found at Bovey-
Tracey, in Devonshire. 1t lay in a de-
post Of brick earth more than twenty
nine feet below the highest level reached
by the waters Of the Bovey. 1t was
more than thirty-fve inches wide, and its
length could not be exactly determined,
the workmen having broken it in getting
It out. An eminent archeologst is of
opinion that this boat dates from the
glacial epoch--perhaps even from more
remote time. If this hypothesis, the re-
sponsibility of which we leave TO him,
be correct, this is the most ancient wit
ness in existence of prehistoric naviga-
hon.-"Manners and Monuments of Pre-
