is something wrong above the eyes,

splendid send off through the indorse-
ment of no less a person than Emperor
William. who Is reported to have passed
judgment upon It to the effect that 1t de-
veloped ingenuity and taught tactics and
strategy. This, of course, was enough
to make It immensely popular with the
Teutons and 1t straightway became the
favorite diversion in the officers casinos
and the barracks.
While from its very nature it cannot
hope to rival either chess or draughts,
yet its fascination Is such that it bids
fair to become the drawing room game
of Europe. AS compared to chess it Is
very easily learned as may be judged
from the fact that Marshall won prize
right after he had acquired some knowl-
edge of 1t.
The game is played on board similar
to that on which chess and checkers are
played, except that 1t has a hundred
squares, instead of sixty-four, the black
diagonals alone being used, as in
draughts. The board Is placed with q
white square ON the right hand side and
each player is equipped with fifteen men,
which, at the beginning of the game,
stand on the first three rows on opposite
sides, precisely the same as in checkers,
wherein, however, twelve men are used.
An important difference IS that there is
no capturing done whatever, the players
operations being limited to leaping or
passing over, this, again, being compul-
sorry, wherever possible.
The pieces on each row are placed on
the black squares In numerical order,
from one to five, number one being on the
left side of the player. In order to dis
tinguish them the pieceS on the third row

than to export it, for she has little of her
own.
The United States hitherto have been
large exporters, the average value Of
timber sold exceeding that bought during
the last fifteen years by over e2,5o0,000.
But Dr. Schlich maintains that, notwith-
standing the vast area covered by forest
and the protective measures now adopted,
the state could not long support a greatly
increased demand. The position in Can
ada is still worse. The waste has been
proportionately greater in the past, and
measures to check it are only in the
germ DR.. Schlich therefore concludes
that, so far as coniferous wood is con-
cerned, the danger of deficient supply is
already almost at hand. In our own
country this constitutes 81 per cent of the
imports, and the price is steadily though
slowly rising. What remedy, then, can
be found? DR.. Schlich replies: Cultivate
timber on waste lands, like co er crops
on the more fertile soil There are in
this country 25,00O,0oO acres suitable for
the purpose. A quarter of this area
would make Great Britain self-support-
Ing in the matter of timber, and would

tons. The demand also is increasing.
In the British Isles imports have grown
during the last twenty-five years at an
average rate Of Zoo tons, and the price
has mounted yet more rapidly. Germany,
though it has extensive forests of it's
own supporting by work done in them
about a million people and three times
as many by work in connection with
them. is also large importer, though it
takes less than half as much as we re.
uuire Dr. Schlich calculates that the
consumption Of timber in the four chief
consuming countries, at the present rate
of increase, will probably have risen in
a few hours from fourteen to twenty
cubic feet per head.
Among the exporting countries the for
est area is extensive in Russia, and eS-
necially in Finland, but from a variety of
causes is not capable of very great ex-
pansion, so the supply of timber may not
improbably begin before long to fall off.
In Scandinavia the limit of productivity
seems to have been already reached. But

DR.. Sehlich accordinly passes other re-
gions in review. Some of them are i'm
porters, but their demand is far exceeded
by the export of the rest, the balance on
that side amounting to 2,2S5,G00 tons, or
less by S35, 600 tons than the European
deficit This however, is made up by
imports from such countries as Madagas-
car. Siam and Java, who do not figure in
the tabulated return. 1t Is clear, then,
that the supply. even at the present time,
can barely keep pace with the demand,

DEFY All Danger

Defy All Danger.
BERLIN, March 31.-The Berlin papers
publish a speech said to have been de-
livered by Emperor William May 20 of
last year, at a luncheon following the
parade of the guards. His majesty re-
ferred to the occasion of a parade of
the guards May 90, 1883, before Emperor
Frederick, who was then seriously il,
and continued as follows:
''At that time the position I should as
sumo with reference to the army was
hidden in the mists of the future. To-
day no doubt is possible on this point.
l may say that since the command CT
the army has devolved upon me [ have
exercised it and drilled it so that when
I put it to trial 1 may feel sure and
certain that it will not fail me-"
His majesty then proceeded to say that
for a long time and in Difference to the
solicitation of the field marshals, Prince
Adelbert, Count Won Blumenthal and
Count Won Waldersee, he had considered
the question of assuming the grade Ct
field marshal.
According to Prussian traditions he
continued, only the winning of a battle
or the capturing of a first rate fortress
entitled one to that honor. This has
not been vcuchsafed to me; but, in my
own vindication, can say that for twelve
years [ have worked on the army to
the utmost of my power and / think l
have succeeded in keeping it up to the
level of its past.
I'm few years l hope to be strong
enough at sea to secure respect for the

building on to the army by means of
a powerful fleet will place Germany in
a position to defy any danger, no mat
ter what combination may be formed

PARIS, March 31.-The opposition news
papers assert that the indiSpoSition of NJ.
Waldeck-Rousseau the premier, is dip
lomatic, with view to avoiding accom-
panying President Loubet to Toulon
April /. The theory is that the premier,
owing to the proximity of Marseilles to
Toulon, fears the Marseilies strikers
who are incensed at his refusal to sup
port them in the recent strike, might
organize a hostile demonstration, either
| in Toulon or at some point along the
route.
Meanwhile the situation has not been
changed as result of the conference
between the premier and the masters
today. The masters persist in their re-
fusal to discuss day of eight hours,
which all along has been regarded by the
strikers as the crucial point in dispute.
In spite of the increasing number of
free lockers now working, quantities Of
perishable goods now lie rotting on the
docks. Twenty-one steamers are await
ing discharge.
The general strike while it lasted and
the continual suspension of most dock
work has done enormous injury to the
commerce and industry of Marseilles.
The calculations show an Industrial loss
of some 25, 100000 francs, while the men
have lost more than 1900 coo francs in
wages. A curious illustration of the bit
terness which the strike has engender
ed between the men and the masters
is seen in the fact that the strikers in
structed their delegates to give formed
notification to the minister of finance Of
frauds in the oil seed trade, pointing out
that oil seeds were imported in bags,
which the customs officers have not been
in the habit of opening, with the result
that articles subject to much higher
import duty arc struggled in the bags.
The commerce of Marseilles is for the
time being almost at a standstin. Food
stuffs which are largely imported are
now scarce. The prices Of sugar, coffee,
-four and other necessary articles, have
doubled. A number of factories have
Leen obliged to close. These conditions,
added to the serious damage done by
the floods and hail, have thrown the
whole population into deep misery. The
storekeepers and merchants intend to ap-
peal to the government to remit the tax
es for the first three months of the
year.
At strike meeting, attended by 5000
lockers and coal beavers, it was decided
to continue the strike until the masters
concede an eight hour day. At a later
meeting some 400 dock foremen, who had
not hitherto joined the strike, decided
improvised dock hands until the demands
of the strikers were conceded. This will
paralyze dock work, as inexperienced la
borerS cannot work without foremen.
The strikers union has promised to
support the foremen against any conse-
quence Of their action when work is
resumed.

The possibility Of failure ait no distant

apprehensions. A deficiency in timber,
