How To Lift Our Skirts,

At least dozen times | have wished
to touch on this topic. bur could not sat
isfy myself that had made my explana-
ton lucid, but Vogue covers the points
desired to make clear in these few lines:
Throw the extra back fulness of the
skirt over the back of the hand (Which
should be closed), and placed as handle
at one side of the body and slightly bend
the forearm forward. The fitness of the
skirt will thus be found to remain in
place, and will not cause the fatigue to
the hand and wrist that one experiences
in the old way of holding so much weight
of material in the hand. This is decid-
ed saving on gloves, since it does not
stretch them, or soil them. or cause the
hand to become overheated, and skirts
lifted in this way look much more grace
full than when they are held in the hand.
One anatomy is also less liable to be
emphasized, and it gives one an ease and
certainty that all the tulness is properly
looked after, while at the same time, pet
ticoat, ankles and shoes are more becom-
ingly exposed. Even with care and atten-
ton and the appropriating of sugges-
tons, such as the above, in spite of all

Hindu Origin of Chess.

Today it is the accepted belief that
India was the original home OF chess,
and that it was transplanted thence to
Persia in the sixth century of our era.
Firdusi, the Persian poet, tells, in his
great epic, "Shah Nameh" (the book OF
Kings), curious story about the intro
duction of the game. There came one
day to the king, Naushirawan, an envoy
from his tributary, the king of Hind,
bearing among rich presents handsome
chessboard and the strangest letter ever
sent to overload, proposing riddle to
his almighty majesty, and insisting on
solution of it. Naushirawan was to set
his wise men to discover, from the board
and the pieces, the principles Of the gsme.
If they succeeded, then the king of Hind
would dutifuly pay his tribute as here
tofore. II they failed, then clearly. wis
dom did not dwell with them, and he
could no longer demean himself by pay
ing tribute to the lord OF such ingora-
muses.; rather would he claim tribute
himself. Naushirawan was sorely per-
picked. He handled the pieces and ex-
amined the board; he tried to bride the
envoy to reveal the secret; at length he
begged seven days grace. Then he sum-
moned his wise men from far and near,
and put to them the puzzle. They were
as nonplused as the Egyptian, wise men
were to interpret Pharaoh's dreams.
They pulled long faces and consulted the
stars; they wrangled and agreed; but
all in vain. At length a Josiah appeared
in the person Of the kings counsellor,
L - IL. LII =.
for his dignity, but who now promised
that, given secrecy and seclusion, he
would read this riddle. In a day and a
night he returned from his study, and ex-
pounded to the court the mysteries Of
the game Of chess, to the kings great
joy, the ENJOYS chagrin, and the saliva

BEANS AND POTATOES.
Beans are firmer. with higher prices

| The beef situation Is reported much
| firmer, by reason of the strength in the
west, and dealers seem to expect higher
prices this week. The quotations are

may be made with square neck or with a

BOSTON MARKET.

Boston, Aug. 23.-The market for flour
shows no improvement. Trading is very
small and of peddling character. The
home buyer has not yet made up his
mind to go beyond the small lots needed
for immediate wants. The only favor
able feature Is that, when making pur-
chase OF car or two, the buyer usually
wants 1t delivered with a rush, thus
showing that his stocks are not large
and giving sellers the idea that before
long there must be a material enlarge
ment Of the volume Of trade.
The tendency Of prices has been down
ward. The decline in wheat enabled
millers to name lower prices for all
brands. Good old spring wheat patents
are offered freely at $3.50 per barrel,
though some mills ask $4.6O and $40,
with sales at all prices of single cars.
The price committee of the chamber Of
commerce quotes flour as follows, the
| quotations presumably covering the in
side millers' and the outside jobbers'
prices: Spring wheat patents from
$3.50 to $5.25: spring wheat straights
from $4.25 to $500; spring wheat clears
|
from $3.50 to $3.50; winter wheat straights
from $3.50 to $425, and winter wheat
clears from $340 to 81 per barrel as to
quality and size Of purchase.
Cornmeal Is lower, under the slightly
easier market on corn. Oatmeal and
the cereals are fairly steady: Barrel
cornmeal, $1S0@1.S5; bag meal, 76@7Sc;
yellow granulated, s2.25@250; rolled and
ground oatmeal, $3.75@4.40; cut, $4.15@
4.40; graham -four, $275@4.5O; bolted
meal, $2.20Q4.50; rye flour, $2.90Q3.25;
rye, 60@65c.
Corn on track here continues pretty
firm for the good reason that there is
so little offering. Corn is generally
easier. The condition of the crop is
better than stated few weeks ago, and
spectators have lately been rather
badly shaken up" Considerable lqui-
dation has been going on for some days
and this is making some of the wise
ones expect something of a rally. Others
are looking for still lower prices. Quo.
tations are: Track steamer yellow, 8!
