Or take the boy of eight or ten
or twelve years, who is set to work
in the factory. There are great
many days in the year when ne
must be up and report at the mill
before daylight. Suppose no law

run twelve or more hours out of
twenty-four. Now look in your
almanac and see how many days
their are when there are not ten
hours between sunrise and sunset.
ali those DAYS the little fellow
must 60 in the dark and come back
in the dark to the mill. He must
be in the mill as soon as the power

WOMEN CHESS PLAYERS.
Why None of Them Is Mentioned In
the Annals Of the Game.

Why None Of Them Is Mentioned In
the Annals Of the Game.
Ladies' chess clubs are being estab-
lished In various parts Of the country;
special inducements are held out for
their patronage by the promoters OF
national and international tournaments,
and articles on the game appear regu-
larly in journals which cater specially
to them. Women have always played
and taken part In the game, though
probably never to the same extent as
now. It is, therefore, remarkable that
In the whole of its enormous literature
there does not appear the name of
any woman among the stars OF the
first, second or third magnitude. One
may go through volume after volume
containing thousands Of games and not
find a single one played by women
which any editor thought worthy OF q
permanent record.
When the question has been raised
before, 1t has been involved with that
of >the intellectual superiority Of one
sex over the other. Today the answer
to this would be totally inadequate
and inconsequential. There are men in
the front rank Of players at the pres
ent moment who by no stretch Of the
Imagination or the term can be said to
occupy their position on account Of ex'
ceptionally intellectual endOwments.
While the game always appeals to In
tellectual men and women, intellect is
not the only factor which makes the
great player.
A careful examination Of the games
Of players whom the world recognizes
as great reveals the fact that the fac.
ulties and qualities Of concentration,
comprehensiveness, impartiality and,
above all, spark Of originality, are
to be found in combination and In va
rying degrees. The absence Of these
qualities in woman explains why no
member Of the feminine sex has Occu.
pied any high position as a chess
player.
There are many women who are ear.
nest students Of chess whose knowl.
edge Of the theory, principles and all
the accouterments Of the game is phe-
nomenal. But mere knowledge can
make nobody great. Taking results,
good judgment is much superior to
knowledge imperfectly applied.-Lon.

In what | might almost call this
natural system = the system which
the American people have worked
out for themselves wherever they
were not closely cemented together,
four points Of the first Importance
in education are insured. First OF
all The boys and girls have the adj
vantage Of a great deal of life in
the open air. This is essential to
all good education.
Second, boys and girls under this
S, stem have a great deal Of inter
course with their fathers and moth
FRS. This is very desirable in all
education, and a failure here is a
very serious failure.
Third, the children of the neigh
borhood are brought together IN
their schools, and, indeed, in all
their active life. This is essential
also; for together is one of the Gen.
trail words of real life. Many q
fine mans or women is lost to the
world because of shyness and other
forms Of inability which were real
" cultivated in youth. On the
other hand, Joy in society is natur-
al to the human race, which for
the purpose Of such society has
tongue and lips and ears. And, to
add one more necessity in educa-
ton. this system gives the great
chance for health. Not to 20
farther, where we have so little
space. large life, a life constantly
charging, a social life and strong
and happy life are well-nigh>snsnr-
ed in such a system.
Let us compare this with what is
now almost system; which takes
possession Of that sixth part OF
children which lave been alluded
to. Suppose little girl eight
years old is taken into shirt facto-
ry, where she is to spent ten hours
q day, or perhaps eleven or twelve.
is the only day, you might
saw. when she can look up at the
sky or look round on Gods world.
It is the only day in which for any
purpose worth considering she can
run and play ard exercise the
hands and feet and arms and legs
with which she was born. The
chances are against her in the mat
ter of using her tongue or her ears.
The rule of the workshop probably
forbids her talking or listening ex.
cent to the instructions for the
daily work.
And 1t is hardly an even chance
whether she knows her father and
mother and her big brothers and
sisters by sight. Anything which
on and would call home is gone.

without Counting.

Archbishop Temple was noted for
his mathematical ability. A peculiar
ity of his power, not in computation or
analysis, but in the ability to see
definite number Of objects without ac-
tually counting them In the ordinary
sense, is mentioned in Mr.. Sandford's
memoirs of the archbishop. Everybody
sees three objects, not as one and one
and one, but as three. Most people
can see four; some see five and even
six. Many Of those who think they
simply see six would discover II they
observed the process carefully that they
really make a quick count. But Dr.
Temple certainly saw higher numbers.
I tested him quite suddenly more than
once. "How many sheep in that fieldY
Instantly came the answer, "Nine."
Once he saw thirteen. l think these
were birds flying In group. 1t was
the same process with him to see nine
or ten volumes in bookshelf as 1t
was with me to see even five. Given
time, without counting, he saw larger
numbers.

+ when We were.eight aud nine an
ten and eleven and twelve year
old.
We can ask ourselves whether j
would have been good thing TO,
us to be shut up in the factory or
sewing room 300 days every yea
at that time Of life.
Every one Of US knows that il
would have been bad thing.
! First-Those are the growing
years of life. You and |, we'll,
perhaps, we were four inches taller
every year than we were the year
before. We did not earn any
wages--no! But we were grow
growing up we'll and strong be-
cause we could try ourselves in all
sorts Of life. We had good exer-
else. We had as much to eat of
what was good for US to eat, and
we were happy.
Second recollect again that
we were great deal with our faith.
ers and mothers and brothers and
sisters. We knew what the word
home was, and that home is the
dearest place in this world.
Third-We do not talk about 1t
great deal, for it is too sacred a
thing to be lightly talked about,
but some of us, perhaps all Of us,
found out that God is our loving
father, that he is very near to us
aud we are very near to him. We
would not lose the memories and
the help of'what he has told us
and we have told him for anything
which you can offer us.
Fourth-Most Of us came out,
when We were sixteen years old,
strong and well. ready to take part
with the best men and women in
world, in the very best work Of TIL
world.
Think myself that that would
be wise nation or wise state
which should make such laws that
people shall not make money out
of their children before they are
sixteen years old. | think it would
be good thing to devote those
sixteen years wholly to the educa-
ton Of the children, to making
them better men and women. Let
bov and girl help in the home. The
more work they do there the better.
But let them be the companions Of
father or mother as much as posi-.
BILE until they are sixteen. But
here is one of the cases where |
cannot have my own way. The
custom is so general which permits
fathers and mothers to shire out"
their children as the phrase is, that
and you ard | cannot make law
that children shall not earn wages
before they are sixteen.
What can We dop We can say
that they shall not be confined in
factories or workshops, excepting
for very limited hours, before they
are fourteen. We can say, until a
boy or girl is sixteen they shall
have the privilege Of going to
school at least half the year. In
some cases We can say that one set
Of children at work shall work in
the MOI ming and another set shall
take their places in the afternoon.
This is a practicable method Of
legislation which has not yet been
applied. But the sooner it is APP
piled the better. We can insist Oh
a very careful and rigid inspection
of factories and workshops by pub
lie officers who are in nowise pecu-
niarily interested in the establish.
ments which they examine. Such
examinations should be possible at
any hour of any, and the publicity
given to the results should be such
as should make It certain that fac
tory or workshop visited shall be
kept neat and sweet and clean-a
fit place for the best prince or
princess in the land to work in.
