There are men who know the life they
are living today is not right. They i'm
agine that the power is in them to trans
form 1t any day they please into an en-
tlrely different life. They do not under
stand that the life has been growing
wrong with their growth, and strength
ened with their strength, and that daily
conduct has to do with the character
which has been forming through all
these years. There can be no perma-
nent change made on the outer life with
out first there is change made in the
inner life.
We are making record every day and
memory comes in to have its influence
on the life of today. Sweet memories Of
yore, how they crowd in upon mel Our
memory helps either to comfort or
scourge our today. We cannot escape
from it, and our life that now is, is col.
ored by it. Edgar Allen Poe has left on
record testimony that we cannot live in
the future as though the present had not
been. By our thought, our conversation
and our conduct we are liberating sweet
songsters that will wake with the dawn
OF the morrow to gladden. us with their
melody, or birds of ill-omen, like the
Poets Raven, above our chamber door
and croak their grim prophecy OF coming
evil. The spirit in which we live this
present life, not only dictates the quality
of this life, but decides what kind Of
messengers we will send into tomorrow

ments or with glad messages of good
cheer. Shall we send ravens into the
morrow to croak over our chamber door
or shall we send robins to chirp, OF
nightingales to sing? We are deciding
today.

DETAILS AND ESSENTIALS.
One Should Distinguish Between the
Important and the Urimportant.

One Should Distinguish Between the
Important and the Urimportant.
The faculty Of attending to details
is a relative and not an absolute vir-
tue. We have known men who were
simply swamped by the care they gave
to details, and they had no time or
brain force for forming plans, or for
the general oversight of their execu-
ton, or for taking a wide view of the
matter in hand. Details may be i'm
portant, but when they are very i'm
portant they cease to be details at all
and become essentials. Take it in
such a mater as the ~orderliness of a
business mans desk. la most cases
that is simply a matter of detail, but
if he so mislays his papers that he can
not find them when they are needed,
that ceases to be a detail. Or take it
in the cast of a woman's dress. A rib
bon may be a matter of detail, but if
she needs that ribbon 20 give her
toilet just the dash of color that will
set it of, that is not a detail. The
truth is that anything that is essen
tial is not a detail. The people who
think that they are efficient because
they look after details mistake the ma
ture Of their own power. They arc.
efficient because they have the wit to
discriminate between the essential
and the accidental, and look after
the essential. AT the outbreak of the
Franco-Prussian war the marshals Of
Napoleon III. reported to him that
the French army was ready to the
last gaiter button. Probably the sol
diers gaiter buttons were all right
but there we're other things that we're
not right. A great campaign does not
usually turn on gaiter buttens.-Bos-
ton Watchman.

EGYPTIANS NJ CHESS
Came Probably Fad Another Origin Than
That Generally Attributed.

On what grounds is it asserted that
the ancient Egyptians we're acquaint
ed with the game Of chess? All the
evidence is the other way. That a
game was played on a board some
thing after the manner Of our
draughts is certain; but chess can
hardly be played unless the pieces
used are Of various shapes, and no
such pieces from ancient Egypt ap-
pear to be known. Birch states that
'the set of each player was alike, but
distinct from that Of his opponent. "
(Wilhnson's 'Manners and Customs
Of the Ancient Egyptians, ed.
Birch, 2, So, note.) This statement
is borne out by the Illustrations on.
PIP. 81, 50 and 60 of the same work,
as also by the actual pieces with which
the game was played, some fine speci-
mems Of which may be seen at the
British museum.
Reference is made to an engraving
Of "this game, Chat is, chess inthe
Art journal, but the pieces there fig
ured accord exactly with Birch's de-
and the writer Of the article
in which the illustration occurs con-
sidered that the game represented
one resembling draughts. If, as
one Of the objects shows two
infants sWathed, nothing further is
needed to prove hat they are not of
ancient Egyptian origin" Theidea
of sWathing an infant would have APP
peared ridiculous in ancient Egypt,
where princesses even went naked for
several years of childhood.
Probably this is one Of the not very
rare cases where a strange object of
unknown origin is attributed to that
land Of strange objects-ancient
Egypt.-Notes and Queries.

Bunson's Daly order of Veal Outlets

Absent-mindedness was a marked

amusing anecdotes are told of the diff

ment that he remained a bachelor be-
cause he forgot his wedding day is,
of course, a~pocryphal, as is the other
about his putting on a suit of gar
ments on the top of others that he had
forgotten to take off; but the follow

at a little table reserved for him in a
restaurant connected with the hotel
inwhichI lived; onespring h fel into
the habit Of ordering veal outlets and
asparagus as the chief items for his
meal, and without reflection or feel
ing that a chance of diet would be
agreeable he continued to order
"Kalbs-C otelette und Spargel' daily
for several weeks, until one day the
kellner gravely informed him that as
paragus was no longer in season and
could not be supplied. Bunsen
seemed to be immensely taken aback
and to realize for the first time that he
had been dining on one dish for a long
period; he soon recovered, himself,
and asked the waiter for the
bill Of fare, from which, after careful
examination, he ordered mutton
and peas, and this was his daily
diet up to the time I changed my ho-

was noticed that the darker hairs had

came brittle and pale in color, with
atrophic bulbs. There was a slight

Danger from Snakes.
1t always seemed strange to me that
the Natal climate, which is, on the
whole, so healthy for human beings,
should not be favorable to animal life.
Dogs do not thrive there at all, and
soon become infested with ticks. One
heard constantly of the native cattle
being decimated by strange and weird
diseases, and horses, especially i'm
ported horses, certainly require the
greatest care. They must never be
turned out while the dew is on the
grass, unless with a sort Of muzzling
nosebag on, and the snakes are a-per-.
petual danger to them, though the
bite is not always fatal, for there are.
many varieties Of snakes which are
not venomous. Still, a native horse
is always on the lookout for snakes.
and breads them exceedingly. One
night I was cantering down the main
street Of M%aritzburg on a quiet old
pony on my way to the legislative
council, where wanted to hear a very
interesting debate on the native ques-

Dapartmsnt storss II Prussia.

Prussia has a way of dealing with
department stores which is charac-
teristically German. The depart
ment store tax bill, as laid before the
PFussian landtag, divides retailers
into four classes. They may sell.
either groceries, liquors, tobaecos.
and chemicals, or dry goods and
clothing, or furniture and household
utensils, or cutlery, iewelry, art
goods, stationery and musical instru-
ments, without paying the depart
ment store tax. But shops combining
these different classes must pay a
graduated tax, provided their annual
sales exceed 100000 marks. Start
ing With 1890 marks for annual sales
Of 100000, the tax increases to 20. 900
for sales Of 100000. Then it adds
1000 for each additional 100000.
Mutual associations are exempt.

Was Receiving.
The "fury Of q woman scorredn il
often spoken o. as something to be
feared, but, Judging from a tragedy
enacted IN an East side residence the
other day, it is not in it with the an
ger Of q common cat when it realizes
that the place It once filed in the af-
fections Of its owner has been taken
by another and perhaps prettier cat.
Old Dick, a big, yellow cat, is the
property of an East side young wom-
an, and for a number Of months past
has been the whole thing around the
house, so far as pets were concerned
He had his own dish for milk. his own
rug, and was a pretty lucky feline,
take it any way you would. His ia
vorite resting place was in the lap of
his mistress, and when she recently
brought home a little gray kitten, Of
which she made much, Old Dick man
Tested his ~displeasure in a variety Of
ways.
His disposition seemed to change,
and instead of following lis mistress
around the house, as he had been in
the habit Of doing, he simply turned
his back upon her. Several times the,
young woman caught the old fellow
in the act Of cutting the new arrival,
and for this she reproved him sharp
ly. Finally tie little kitten was IN
molested when the mistress was
around, but the old cat manifested his
anger in other directions.
One morningth the young woman had
the kitten in her lap, petting it,and
calling it ~endearing names, when Old
Dick entered the room. He began to
growl when he saw the tenderness
withwhich the kitten was treated, and
then tried to induce the young woman
to pet him instead of the kitten. His
attempt was a failure, however, and
then the old cat went almost wild with
rage.
With a single bound he was in the
lap Of the young woman, who lost her
presence Of mind and began to scream,
fearing the old cat was about to at
tack her. Selling the kitten by the
back, Old Dick jumped to the floor,
and, holding the kitten down by his
front paws, deliberately tore open the
little animals neck, killing it in few
seconds. AS soon as the kitten was
dead the old cat locked at the body
for a moment and then disappeared
through the open door, and has not
been seen since.
The tragedy was clearly the result
of anger on hepart Of Old Dick, who
up to the present time has never been
known to get into a quarrel with an
other cat. In fact, he was so gentle
that his name was a synonym for all
that was gentle and mild, and his be-
can be explained on no other
thar that he was driven in
sane by ~Minneapoli Trib-
une.
