THE SPORTING ARENA.

The latest excavations on the pyramid
field of Sakkara have led to an xtraor.
binary discovery as to the origin OF
chess. Hitherto it - sassumed that the
ancient Indians had invented the game,
that it was Introduced from India to
Persia in the sixth century, and that BY
the Arabs, and in consequence OF the
crusades it spread from east to west.
This theory was substantiatcd by the
fact that All Indian, Persian and Arabic
influence is traceable in the character OF
the figures at present used and IN some
Of the words connected with the game,
such as shah (check) and matt (mate).
Now, north Of the pyramid Of King
Tetu,. or Teti, two grave chambers have
been discovered which were erected for
two high officials of that ruler. Their
names were Kabin and Mernker, called
Mera. The grave chamber (mastaba) OF
the former consisted Of five rooms, built
up with limestone.
In the chief room there is in a niche
tinted statue Of the departed, about
seven feet high, with sacrificial table
of alabaster before it. Among the many
wall paintings intthis and other rooms,
hunting and fishing scenes, q group OF
female, mourners, the three seasons,
Mera and his sons, holding each other
by the hand, and Mera playing chess
are to be seen. King Tetu belonged to
the sixth dynasty, and his reign was as
signed by Professor Lepsius to about the
year 1900 B. c. Professor Brugsch, cor
recting this chronology, puts it back to
still greater antiquity-namely, to, the
year $500 B. C.--so\ that chess would
have been known in the once mysterious
land of Mizraim something like 5000
years go.-New York Post.

EUREKA.


John l.. Sullivan. the ex-champion
among fist fighters and now one of the
reportorial staff Of New York news
paper uttered words OF wisdom once.
When asked what men should do when
the spring languor came on them, he
replied:
In the first place they ought to set
apart Is minutes to half an hour every
morning for exercise. More than half
of them lie In bed until the last mo-
nent in the morning. then jump up,
dress in a hurry and go right to the
breakfast table and wonder why they
have no appetite and feel dull and
stupid. The human stomach was not
made to be treated that way. A man
should, after getting up, take ten
minutes brisk walk If possible, or, IL
that is not convenient. use a light pair
of dumb bells for three or four minutes
so as to bring on slight perspiration.
Then he should rub himself dry with a
coarse towel and after that take
sponge or towel bath. Then, after he
has rubbed himself dry, he should rub
and slap briskly. Then, after dressing,
let him go to the table and eat couple
of poached eggs on toast or bit of
nice steak with bread and coffee and
he will be fit for his days work, and.
my word for it, he will want no other
tonic to give him an appetite for his
dinner. Should he need laxative. he
can find few things better than plenty
of fruit. Stewed prunes eaten at night
are excellent. If young man does as
have said for few weeks and
doesn't find himself as fine as fiddle,
there is something serious the matter
with him and he had better consult
doctor"
Follow this advice and you can tramp
after flowers with the prettiest petit
coat and most active girl in town, and
before you return home, she will be in
love with you.
Wei, WELL That's worth looking
into.
