The Burmese Game of Chess.

The Burmese Game of Chess.
The Burmese game seems to be rath-
er heavy variety of chess, the pecul-
iarity of it being that pawn queens"
when it strikes an imaginary diagonal
line drawn from the players left hand
corner to the right hand corner in front
of him-his opponents left hand cor
ner. The pieces are massed on the
players right hand, but the three priv
ileged pawns-there are only three
allowed to "queen''-can only queen"
when the queen has been taken. We
should say here that no piece equiva-
lent to our queen really EXISTS in east
ern chess, the most powerful piece be
ing equivalent to our rock or castle.
In the Burmese game the privilege OF
translation confers no higher hand on
a piece than that of ''chekoy" called
queen in European equivalence by vir-
tue of its being unique-a piece pos
sessing scarcely more power than a
pawn. The usual move of the piece
called queen" in all oriental varie-
ties of chess is one square diagonally
and it is never one of the superior
pieces.-London Spectator.

cline STORES" ARE QUEER.
They Are Built Exactly on the Bound
arY Between Two Countries

airy Between Two Countries
What are called Zine stores,
which in many cases are designated
by large sign boards, are a well
known institution along the boundary
between Canada and Maine. The
governments of both Canada and the
United States look with suspicious
eyes upon these stores, and there has
been more or less talk of joint action
to prevent the erection Of any build
ings upon the boundary line.
The line stores on the Quebec Dor
der are usually built exactly On the
boundary line, and are double stores.
The boundary line is marked by iron
posts, and sometimes store is built
over one of these posts, which pro-
trudes from the middle of the floor.
There is a door on each side of the
line, with which line the shelves and
counters run parallel, and thus there
is an American store and an Cana
dian store, each with it's own en-
trance. On the Canadian side are
Canadian goods, such as woolens,
blankets, dress goods, ready made
clothing, fur coats and robes, and
some lines of hardware On the
American side are cotton goods etc,
and on this side farm produce is TAX
en- in exchange. The Canadian ana
American goods are kept each on
their own side, and no attempt made
to conceal the fact that both are
there. The Canadian customer can
go in at the Canadian door, purchase
Canadian goods on the Canada side,
and go out again without having
crossed the boundary line at all and
the American customer can do the
same on his side; but, while the store
keepers keep the two classes of goods
separate, they do not ask their Gus
toners any questions and they can
buy at either counter and make their
exit at the other door,
Stores of this kind are chiefly founu
on the line between the province of
Quebec and the states of New Hamp-
shire and Vermont, and the north
western part of Maine, but they are
not unknown on the line that divides
northeastern Maine from New Bruins
wick. They are always mile, gener-
ally several miles from custom
house. station.
In some places there are two
stores separated by but few feet
and connected by a board walk, by
which goods can easily be trans
planted from one building to
the other. 1t is a very convenient ar
rangement for people who don't mind
dodging the customs laws. A pro-
yincial man can step across the floor
I to the Maine side and buy Tobacco
co. and a Maine man can move across
to the New Brunswick side and get
some liquor, all under the same roof.
Farm produce can be changed from
i Canadian to United States produce
in short order. A manufacturer can
get raw material from both sides,
Canadian produce can be changed for
Yankee jewelry or notions, Canadian
woolens into American cottons, and
so on.
4 Of course, it is not admitted that
the line houses were built for SNUG
i Cling purposes: but they are there
right on the line, and it would be a
great relief to the two governments
if they were not there-Brooklyn

the sum was Indignantly refused This
wonderful plant clings amid thickly
grown moss against the side of the ia

claimed that it has bloomed perennial
ly since the days of King Alfred, and
this statement has never been disput-
ed, for it's record has been as carefully
kept as the pedigree of the bluest

is supposed to have been discovered
by some mysterious means through
the medium of King Louis of Hilder-

that he can lay his hands on in adver-

When the commodor had made $780,

QUESTION OF PATIENCE.
Stubborn Calves Are Not vanq1isAeI
BY stubborn Feeders, bat Readily
Yield to kindness.

The skim milk calf has come to stay
Men have learned by experiments and
by careful feeding that skim milk is the
cheapest and best feed for calf, espe.
cially for the dairy calf. The greatest
trouble is the danger Of over-feeding.
Most people seem to think that because
skim milk isn't very rich they must
give the calf lots of it. SO they pour
it down him by the bucket, without
stopping to think what calf's stomach
IS like, and the result is that they soon
have lot Of "pot-bellied" calves,
writes j. L. Smith in the Kansas
Farmer.
When the calf is few days old he is
taken away from the cow and put into
pen or shed to be taught how to drink
skim milk. Then the fun commences,
If the calf will not drink the milk right
of, and is little stubborn, the fellow
who is trying to feed him usually gets
mad, jumps straddle Of the calf's neck,
backs him up in corner, grabs hold OF
the calf's head with both hands,
and rams it down in the milk to the
bottom Of the pail. Then the calf gets
mad and bawls, and tries to get away,
gets strangled, and finally succeeds in
spilling the milk.
1t is best to have q little patience
with the calf, and remember that it
does not have very much sense at first.
After it has sucked the COW two or
three times it should be taken away
and put in good, clean pen and fed
on its mothers milk for q week or
two. Then begin to gradually reduce
the whole milk and add little skim
milk each day, until within couple Of
weeks it will be on skim milk alone.
A good substitute for the fat removed
is little cornmeal given after drink
ing. This will also keep them from
sucking each other. Over feeding, ir-
regular feeding, or feeding cold, sour
milk is apt to cause scours with the
calves.
TO feed skim milk fresh from the
hand separator on the farm is the best
way, because it is always warm and
sweet. The skim milk from the cream
cry is all right, but in warm weather
il will not keep sweet very long unless
it is sterilzed well and thoroughly
cooled when brought home.
