Polite Reproof,

A lady once ventured to publicly
reprove a well known London So
ciety man for his overfondness of
good living. The gentleman made
himself conspicuous by the way he
gorged himself at a dinner to which
he and others of the upper ten had
been invited. To make matters
worse, he was sufficiently unwise or
thoughtless enough to attempt to
excuse himself with the remark that
Gin eating well / praise the food"
thereby using a well known quota
tion. 1t was an opportunity not to
be lost by the somewhat disguised
and witty lady sitting at his elbow.
Really, sir" she observed, with
a sweet smile, ~you should not carry
praise to the point of fattery."

John ROyIe's Battle Run.

John A. Boyle, a Massachusetts
man, took part in the civil war and
liked to tell about his experiences.
At meeting one evening he told
about the experience he had at the
battle of Bull Run as follows:
81 saw the men drop their guns
and run, so 1 dropped mine and ran,
too, but I was chased by one of the
enemy, who had his gun in his hand.
l ran the fellow a good race for two
miles, and then I stumbled and fell
and was expecting him to come up
and shoot me. He didn't come, so
l looked around to see where he
was, and to my surprise saw him
sprawled out on the ground about
two yards from me. I got up and
looked at him and saw that he had
died from apoplexy."
Boyle's hearers asked what he did
next, and he replied, 81 wept for the
man that I had run to death"

Most boys and girls if asked the
name of that town in England that
Shakespeare has made famous most
of them would be likely to answer,
"Stratford-on-Av-on." And neither
he nor any one else would have a
right to find fault with them for
pronoHncing the name of the river

calls it Avon. Your dictionary will

FOR The LITTLE ONES.
How to Play the Exciting Game Called
Touch the Third.

now 20 Play the Exciting same S~''00
Touch the Third.
To play "tierce," or ''touch the
third" the company must stand IN
a circle in pairs, one behind the 9th
er, excepting in one place, where
they stand three deep. One person
stands outside the circle and IS on
no account allowed to go within 1T.
The object is to touch the third one,
wherever she may stand. But when
he attempts this she darts into the
circle and takes her place before
one of the others. Then the third
one, who stands back Of her, be-
comes the object. But she likewise
slips into the circle and takes her
place in front of some one else. The
pursuer is thus led from point to
point in the circle, for he must al
ways aim at the one who forms the
outside of arrow of three. Any one
caught changes places with tie pur-
suer. This is something like the
old game of fox and geese.

Game of Grammar.

The game of grammar is very en-
joyable. One plays teacher and the
others pupils. The teacher says,
''Write list of nouns" The pupils
get to work, and the teacher watches
their lists. The one who first makes
the mistake of writing down some
thing which is not the "name of
anything. e., a noun-has bad
mark set down against him.
Then ''verbs" are required, and
the same procedure follows.
Next "adjeetiyes," next cad
verbs" etc., until all are ready to
quit.

THE INVENTOR OF CHESS.
His Prizes Seemed Modest, but It Could
Not Be Paid.


Not Be Paid.
An Arabian author, Al Sephadi,
relates the following curious anee-
dote:
A mathematician named Sessa,
the son of Dahar, the subject of an
Indian prince, having invented the
game of chess, his sovereign was
highly pleased with the invention
and, wishing to confer on him some
reward worthy of his magnifeence,
desired him to ask whatever he
thought proper, assuring him that
it would be granted. The mathe-
matician, however, only asked for a
grain of wheat for the first square
of the chessboaTd, two for the sec
ond, four for the third, and so on
to the last, or sixty-fOurth. The
prince at first was almost incensed
at this demand, conceiving that it
was Ill suited to his iberality. By
the advice of his courtiers, however,
he ordered his Vizier to comply with
Sessa's request, but the minister
was much astonished when, having
caused the quantity of wheat neces-
sary to fulfill the princes order to
be calculated, he found that all the
grain in the royal granaries, and
even all that in those of his subjects
and in all Asia, would not be suffi-
cient.
He therefore informed the prince,
who sent for the mathematician and
candidly acknowledged that he was
not rich enough to be able to comply
with his demand, the ingenuity of
which astonished him still more
than the game he had invented.
It will be found by calculation
that the sixty-fourth term of the
double progression, beginning with,
unity, is 9,223, 372, 036, 1874, us, 808,
and the sum of all the terms of this
double progression, beginning with
unity, may be obtained by doubling
the last term and subtracting the
first from the sum. The number
therefore of the grains of wheat re-
quired to satisfy Sessa's demand
viii be Is, 446, IA, 073, 709, SOL, 615.
Now, if a pint contains 9,216
grains of wheat, a gallon will con-
tain 1928, and a bushel eight gal
lons) will contain 599,7s4 Divid-
ing the number of grains by this
quantity, we get 1924, 997, 412, 295
for the number of bushels necessary
to discharge the promise of the In
dian prince. And if we suppose
that one acre of land is capable of
producing in one year thirty bushels
Of wheat it would require !, 042, 499,-
913,743 acres, which is more than
eight times the entire surface of the
globe, for the diameter of the earth
being taken at 1880 miles, its whole
surface, including land and water,
will amount to very little more than
126, 49,, sS9, Ivy square acres.
If the price of a bushel of wheat
be estimated at 81 the value of the
above quantity probably exceeds
that Of all the riches on the EARTH
FOllies of Science.

There are lots of queer things
about the English language, as you
have been told before, but that is
only another reason why it should
be diligently studied, Here is the
word "charm," for example, which
has two derivations, according to
the sense in which it is used. When
we use it as meaning magic spell,
or incantation, It is from the Latin
carmen" song. But when we
use it in the sense Of grace or beau,
tyl it is from the Greek word
"charma." nc

Words From Animals.

There are a good many verbs in
the English language that have their
origin in animal traits. For exam
pie, we "crow" over a person, we

we "duck" our heads, we "ferret" a
thing out, and we "dog" a persor's
