Helen IryinH's Tragic Death.

The tragic story of the beautiful and
talented Scottish woman, Helen Irving,
is not, perhaps. well known, although
it has been celebrated in song. She had
been for some time courted by two gen
tlemen whose names were Bell and
Fleming Bell told the girl that if he
ever fonnd her in Fleeming's company
he would kill him. She. however, had a
strong regard for Fleming. and ono
day, while walking along the romantic
banks Of the Kirtle, she observed his
rival on the other side of the river
among the bushes.
Conscious Of the danger her lover
was in. she passed between hin, and his
enemy. who. firing. shot her dead.
Fleming crossed the river and killed
the coward. A heap of stones was raised
on the place where the brave woman
fell, and she was buried in the near
churchyard. Fleming, overwhelmed
with love and grief went abroad, but
soon returned and, stretching himself
on her grave expired. He was buried
by her side

The old saying that man may be .
hero to every one but his valet is called
to mind by an article in The Illustrated
London News on Famous Masters Of
the Tonsorial Art" in which stories are
told of Duplan the hairdresser to Napo-
leon This astute man made himself so
Indispensable to the unfortunate Jose
phine and became SO intimately ac-
qnainted with the emperor affairs that
he was retained in the service Of the
imperial family when Josephine was
superseded by Marie Louise. He cared
for the hair Of both the emperor and
empress, being paid 1900 francs u year
for service to the former and 4. 900 for
arranging the coiffures of the latter.
Ultimately he was the recipient Of
about 10000 francs Il year his demands
being constantly increased because of
Napoleon /, restriction in refusing to al
low the tonSorial artist to treat the hair

II is not mooted question in Persia
whether women dress for the eyes Of
men or those Of women. rs there only
women see women, at parties. In her
book, Through Persia on Sidesad-

Of Teheran, the capital Of Persia. con-
fesses that even Mohammedan isolation
does not prevent women from being
envious of other women, il they are
dressed better than themselves. She
writes:
Twas told that many Of the fine ladies
would give large sums in the European
shops of Teheran for any brocade Of silk
which struck their fancy and would
veal it at the next party to which they
invited their friends. Haunting the new

Usually. however. one of the guests

company to tea, and the cups would he

the rich silks with which the former

The royal game Of chess, SO called be-
cause in the early centuries it was the
sport of kings and princes, while the most
ancient of games is, perhaps, the least UNI
derstood by the people generally. Chess is
known to be of Indo- Persian origin and
to have been communicated by the Arabs
to the Spaniards, by whom it was trans
mitted to the other nations of western Eu-
rope It is essentially an intellectual
game, and to its devotees it presents fas-
cinating interest and the charm Of con-
tinuai variety While the most scientific
of games, its rudimentary principles are
quite simple and easily understood.
The game is played by two persons on a
board of 81 squares alternately colored
black and white, each player having 16
men of opposite colors at his command i.
G., one player has 16 black and his OPP
ponent has Is white men.
The board must be SO placed that each
player will have white square at his right
hand. The chessmen consist of eight
pieces and eight pawns on each side, and

The average distance Of discovery of
torpedo boat by the searchlight from
battleship has been calculated to be
ISL yards and the greatest distance
1000 yards Thus. taking the distance
at which the torpedo can be fired with
effect at 500 yards it will be generally
found that a torpedo boat will have to
cross about 800 yards under fire from
the ship she is attacking. and it will
take the little craft about half minute
to do this.
