Chess has been attributed to
Palamedes, who flourished $50 years
B. c.. also to the Hindoos. Some
authorities consider checkers a very
ancient game also; in fact, the origin
of checkers and chess may be identi-

ers modern invention" Mr.. Mallet
published in 1868 a trentise on the
subject of draughts, and the game is
known to have been played in Europe
at least century before. The Romans
had a game called latrun Gull, which
was very similar in character to check
ers, the pieces moving diagonally, cap
turing by leaping over and obtaining
superior power upon arriving safely
at the thither side of the board. The
board, however, consisted of but six

The Growth of Southern Towns.

A recent report issued by the cen
sus department shows that since 1861
the city and town population OF tho
South has increased at a much greater
rate than the agricultural population.
In sixteen Southern States our total
urban population ill 1860 was only
l, 500, 292. In 1890 ii was 5,675, 252,
an increase of 276 per cent. In these
States in 1860 the agricultural popu-
lation was 10, ,SO6, OIL, and in 1890 it
was 16, 772, 912, on increase Of 52'2l
per cent So it will be seen that i'll
three decades since the war the In
crease Of our urban population has
been five times greater than that oil
our agricultural population.
The tendency of the Southern peo-
pie to mass themselves in the cities
and towns will be regretted by many
lovers of the Old South, but it is ali
indication of our rapid Industrial pro-
gress. A generation ago this was not
manufacturing section. Agrlcul-
ture was our leading interest, and the
easy conditions of those days made
rural life more attractive than city
life.
But i'll the past thirty years there
has been a great change i'll the status
of affairs south of the Potomac. Fur
naces. mills and factories are spring
ing up Ill every town. This new de-
mand for labor naturally draws peo-
pie to the towns, and it is safe to say
that the growth of cotton manufacture
ing in this region will cause the move
ment of population from the country
to the towns to continue for some
time to come.
The centre of population III this
country is no longer moving west
ward. 1t is gradually shifting couth-
ward, and under our new industrial
policy it is possible tAat the largest
cities of the continent ia future will
be found between Baltimore and San
Antonio. Atlanta Constitution.

Narrowly Escaped the Undertaken.

Undertaken William Rowen, Jr., is
responsible for this tale of Kensington
life:
Some time ago he was called up one
night to go for the body OF man
who had been drowned at an uptown
wharf. He was unable to obtain it,
as it had been recovered in the mean-
time and taken TO police station,
where it was covered with blankets
and laid in a warm cell room. After
an unavailing search at the morgue
the undertaken returned home, to be
aroused at midnight by resounding
knock at his door. ''You needn't
come to the house; Bills come back,
said the late caller, who proved to be
q relative of the drowned man. "What
do you mean?" asked Rowen. "Why,
Bill walked in home few minutes ago
all right" was the response. And,
sure enough, he had. Though pro-
nounced dead when taken from the
river, spark of life still fingered in
him, and the warmth of the cell room
and the blankets i'll which he was
wrapped had kindled this into full
flame.
eff he had been put into al icebox,
says Undertaken Rowen, i'll telling the
story, che would have been dead be-
yond any doubt. '-Phlladelphia Rec

She smiled and rejoiced in her own
heart as she heard her cousins con-
denim the new doctor as too selfish
and Woodworking to suit their idle
tastes, and her eyes grew brighter
each day as some new tale OF his kind
ness reached her ears.
They seldom met, and then only a
few words were uttered; but even
these few did the gentle girl much
good; she felt that she had need OF
them.
One bright, wintry day, when he
met her and asked her to share his life
work, she was not greatly surprised; /;
it seemed only natural that his nature
should claim hers when the time
came, and she was proud and happy
in his choice.
"Not SO worthless, after ALL" said
the girl, as she told her aunt and
cousins what had happened; and in
the great light that beamed from her
earnest brown eyes they felt their sell
fish natures shrink and grow pitiably
small.
"Truel" said Flora, turning away
with flush and bitter smile, as she
thought of what might have been. -
