NOTES ABOUT GAMES.

Among famous Asi2tic writers or chess are Ali Shatranji, SuH, Damari Sokeil1e-, Rhazes, Bilbu, Sherf, Moham. med and Ghulam Kassim, who have written in Arabic, Persian and several dialects of Hindostanee of the theory and mysteries of the game.
 The lot-casting mentioned in tht Scriptures was performed by the use of number of pebbles, one or more be ing colored black. The pebbles were placed in an urn or helmet and shaken and, by their falling out, the business in hand was determined.
 When James ". of Scotland came ts London to propose for the hand of Mar 9aret, the daughter of Henry VII, hs was somewhat disgusted to find her, al their first meeting, so busily engaged 1T a game of cards that she was scarcely able to give him any attention.
 It is a singular fact that while al other games of chance or skill havt at one time or another been denounced by the ciergy of every faith chess alone has received their appreciation, and among the best players of every land have been elergymen, priests, abbots and bishops.

My husband saw an article on Dr. Williams Pink Pills in the county papers and at his solicitation tried them
 ITO make long story short, 1 took twelve boxes of thls wonderful remedy and am now entirely relieved. l have not been troubled with the least sign of this disease since August, 1895. l had been taking the pills since June of that year. 1 am glad to testify to the worth of this excellent rem edy., Itnot only cured me, but my father tried 1t for la grippe and was materially benefted-in fact he insists it relieved him at once.

NAMES OF THE FLOWERS.

The name of the pansy is from the French ''pensees,'' thoughts" this flower from very ancient times being g symbol of affeetionate remembrance.
 The rhododendron is named from two Creek words signifying "a rose-tree,' from the gigantic size of these plants in oriental and tropical countries.
 The calycanthus has it's name from two Greek words signifying "a closed cup" an allusion to the peculiar shape of the outer covering of the flower
