Much that is called rheumatism is in

Guently distress on the slightest
movement. When the muscles of
the small Of the lack are in
volved it is generally called lumbago.
If the large muscles of the arms or
legs are the seat of the affection it is
generally then called muscular rheu-
matism. They are one and all the
same affection, however.
The month of October brings cool
days and cooler nights. The daily per-
spiration of the hot months is gradu
ally and sometimes suddenly discon-
tinued. This produces an acid condi-
ton of the blood which the kidneys
are not always able to correct. BY
stimulating the mucous membranes of
the whole body. the accumulations of
acid in the blood can be drained away.
This could be done with Peruna taken

THE GAME OF CHESS.
Its Supposed Origin and Some of It's
Famous Votaries.

From the London Express.
",rhere is nothing new under the
sun"'is remark which we are con-
stantly making; and this Is especially
true of the means whereby man seeks
to amuse himself.
Among the most antiquated of games
Is chess. which the oldest Persian and
Arabic authorities state to be of In
dian origin. We find the game specif-
ically referred to in Sanskrit literature
two hundred years before the birth of
| Christ.
| Enthusiasts today might deem the
methods then in vogue somewhat prim-
tive. the board usually called an
Eight square" to distinguish it from
the board on which parchisi or back
| CANNON was played. In the earliest
known attempt at romance in Indian
literature, the "Harsacarita" there is
a punning passage which reads: "Un-

quarrel in collecting dews (dues); the
| only feet cut off are those in meter;
only chess boards teach the position of

| tury.
There is a Persian tradition to the
effect that an Indian sovereign sent
Persian monarch the game of chess
| between 531 and SO A. d. BY way Of
! returning the compliment the latter
king sent the former the game of war
or backgammon.
The game was introduced to the
flowery land as comparatively recently
as the sixth century GA. d.. 1t was
probably first known in Spain in the
tenth century, for in the eleventh we
already find it popular amusement.
At the beginning of the twelfth, it
began to be known in this country, as
we'll as in France and Germany; and
it unfortunately has to be recorded
that at the close of the century it
had become a flvorite gambling game
all over the continent Of Europe.
Many men who have figured promi-
nently in the pages of the worlds his
tory were passionately fond of the
game. Perhaps the most noted exam
pie Of .his was Louis XIII, who.
though he hated games Of chance so
much that he would not allow them
to be played at his court, was never
theless so amazingly keen on chess
that he played even while riding in
his carriage.
1t is interesting 10 record in this
connection that each man was pro-
vided with a pin at its foot, which.
being stuck into a padded chess board,
resisted the joltings Of the royal ve-
sicle. Imagine the Prince of Wales
driving along Piccadilly absorbed In
a game of chess while her majestys
loyal subjects We're eagerly waiting
to bow to his royal highness.
John Frederick, elector of Hanover,
proved that the ruling passion was
strong in death. He had been made
prisoner in 1547 by Charles V, and
was playing chess with Ernest of
Brunswick. his fellow captive. when
he got the news that he was con-
demned to die.
He merely made a few remarks on
the irregularity of the emperor's pro-
ceedinss and coolly went on with his
game On winning it, he expressed
his keen satisfaction; then he betook
himself to the religious exercises be-
fitting one in his unenviable situation.
To such a man the word chess was
like charm under whose potent spell
he labored.

The charming custom which some
people have of keeping record of the
birthdays of their friends is frequently
the source of much surprised pleasure.
