Yet there are plenty Of people

try is the history of the boy and

WARNINGS OF NATURE.
elanaIs Of Safety and Danger That
Men Should Heed.

Men should feed,
For those who have eyes to see
them kindly Nature hangs out signs
of all kinds. She only asks that
men will use their eyes, says Pear
sons Weekly. If they can and do
30, she will never betray them. She
has both good and bad signs, which
are as plain in their way as red or
green lights to a railway engine
driver.
For instance, what is called the
low country of the northern Trans
vaal is partly healthy, partly fever
ish. In one spot you may camp In
safety for a month; in another, not
mile away, the dreaded fever will
seize you in single night. To I'M
educated eyes there seems little or
no difference in the outward aspect
of the two places, but your old pro.
spector is never caught camping on
fever ground. He knows the fever
tree too well. The fever tree is an
odd and sinister looking piece OF
vegetation, with twisted, greenish
trunk and branches, and grows only
in those spots where fever mist
hangs at nightfall.
So, too, in Florida when a hunter
is traversing the immense swamps-
'hammocks," as they are called
which cover huge tracts in the
southern part of that state, he
searches for q spot where pine trees
rear their tall heads among the cy-
presses and gums. There he can
camp and sleep in safety, though to
spend night but a few hundred
yards away from the pines might
mean bone racking dose of ague.
Many an Australian explorer has
been saved from a horrible death by
thirst because he has known the
water malice. This tree, though it
may stand in the midst of burning
desert, invariably tells of water be-
low the surface. If the traveller be
not too far gone to dig he will find
the precious fluid below the mallee's
roots.
The Mississippi storm of 1874,
which is generally supposed to have
been the worst gale that has ever
been recorded and the result OF
which was to wipe out nearly twen'
ty settlements, flood 10000 square
miles of land and permanently
change the course of the great riv-
er, was preceded by a strange and
at the same time inexplicable moan
ing sound, which went on for three
DAYS and seemed to come from the
upper air, although below all was
still. The Indians heard it and left
for the high ground; the whites
heard it, stayed where they were
and we're drowned.

The Mosaic Law and Marriage.

More than two centuries ago a
tailor living in Currie was admon-
ished by the kirk to stop counting
his first wife's half brothers daugh-
ter. Instead of yielding obedience
he fed to England with the woman
and there married her, according to
the Dundee Advertiser. A jury
unanimously found him guilty, and
the court ordered him to be be-
headed. The reporter suggests that
on the death of wife her sister is
no longer within the degree forbid
den by the Mosaic law, nor is his
brothers wife on the death OF that
brother. In fact, to marry a BROTH
er's widow was an express injunction
of that law, and if the surviving
brother declined the match the wld-
ow was entitled by that elegant and
dignifed system of jurisprudence to
.S-spit in his face.

$ THE GAME OF CHESS.
IL Is Probably the Oldest Pastinns
Known to Man.

$500
Known to Man.
The oldest game known TO man
is chess. The origin of this game,
or mimic battle, as Goldsmith call
ed it in his translation of Vida,
dates back to 5000 B. G. 1t is rich
in legendary anecdotes, and its ven
cradle nomenclature has been trans
mitted through all changes in Ian
guage from the earliest tongues OF
the 1ndo-European to the latest.
A peculiar thing about chess,
with its combination of idle amuse-
ment and extreme mental toll, is
that it is the only game sanctioned
by priesthoods Of all beliefs. The
principal piece in the game derives
its name, king, from the Persian
shah, or ruler. ~
Many men whose names have
gone down to posterity, such as
Charlemagne, Tamerlane, Frederick
the Great, Charles XII, Voltaire
Rousseau and Ben Franklin, have
been devotees and students Of the
game.
Chess is Asiatic in origin, and
originally more attention was paic
to It by Asiatic students and philos
ophers than by men of western coun
tries. OF late years, however, it,
popularity has greatly increased
among western nations, and nation
al chess tournaments are now hello
by experts from nearly all countries
The history of chess may be di
vided into three periods-the age o.
the primeval Indian game, extend
ing from its origin down to the sixth
century A. D.; the age Of the me
diaeval chess, from the sixth cen
tury to the sixteenth century, an(

BUYING WIDOWS.
Matrimonial Trafficking In the Days
of Chivalry.

Matrimonial Trafficking In the Days
Of Chivalry.
"Of all the matrimonial traffick
ing in the age of chivalry the ways
of widows" says a writer in an
English magazine, "are at once the
boldest and most comprehensive.
AS a rule their methods seldom re-
sort to Establishments. 1t is re-
markable when tenderness is an
item in their bargain. Speed was
their maxim. 1t was one that King
John honored, for he profited by it.
Yet one of the rarest exceptions in
the way of delicacy to these CON-
mercial negotiations has evidently
been prompted by a widow who had
quite an exceptional lover. In 1906
William de Landa, either one Of the
most famous of the crusaders or his
son, offers so marks and palfrey
for having to wife Joan, who was
the wife of Thomas dArescy, if he
may be pleasing to the said JOAN
The sheriff is instructed to ascertain
the widows wishes, land if the said
Joan shall be pleased to have him
for husband then the sheriff shall
cause William to have seizin of Joan
and her land,' both of which he OBJ
tanned in the name of gentle love
and the faith of a true soldier. 1t
is fitting that the name of one OF
the men who led the assault Of Acre
should be preserved in such record
as the above. He was in truth q
very perfect knight.
zone of the most rampageous OF
the northern English borderers
manifested the like delicaoy. Young
Walter de Umfraville, son Of Gill
bert, had left a widow, Emma, pre-
sumably in the very blush of her
charms. Peter de Vaux had fallen
at her feet, but he declined to OBJ
tain her in border fashion, and this
fact is the earnest pledge of the
chivalry of his love. II he would
not steal her he was bound to buy
her, and coin with the De yaux
was always a scarcity. So he offered
the king palfreys for her if she
wished it, and with what would
read as a graceful acknowledgment
of the borderer's pure chivalry John
absolutely drops the commercial
from his reply and simply orders
Robert Fitz Roger, the sheriff, 'to
permit it to be DONE" M

An amusing Renaissance IS gwen
in Black and White Of Lord Charles
Beresford. He once created a dis,
turbance in the house by practical
joke, for which the victim never for
gave him. There was a certain
member at the time who used tc
seek refuge in an empty bench be-
hind the speakers chair whenever
a long winded debate was In prog
ress. Here he would take off his
boots and go to sleep until the dlVl'
sion bell rang. On the day in ques3'
ton Beresford crept up to him and
taking one of the boots, hid it under
a bench. Just then the division bel
rang, and the sleepy member hunteC
high ana low for his boot; but, un
able to. find it, he was hustled ou'
by the tellers, and the humorous
spectacle was witnessed Of a stalC
member holding up one leg ant
showing a big hole in his sock.
