CHESS OLDEST PAsTlME.
Of Asiatic Origin and Date Back to
the Misty Medieval
Times.

The oldest game known to man is
chess. The origin Of this game, or
mimic battle, as Goldsmith called it in
his translation of Vida, dates back
to 5000 H. G. 1t Is rich in legendary
anecdotes, and its venerable nomen-
Clature has teen transmitted through
all changes in language from the ear
lest tongues of the Indo- European to
the latest
peculiar thing about chess with
its combination OF idle amusement and
extreme mental toll. is that it is the
only game sanctioned by priegthoods
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 Charlie
magne, Tamerlane, Frederick the
Great, Charles XII, Voltaire, Rous-
seau and Ben Franklin, have been
deyQtees and students of the game
Chess is Asiatc in origin, and orig
lnally more attention was paid 90 1t
by Asiatic students and philosophers
than by men of western countries. OF
late years. aowever, its popularity has
greatly increased among western ma
tons, and national chess tournaments
are now held by experts from nearly
all countries.
The history Of chess may be divided
into three periods The age of the
primeval Indian game, extending from
its origin down to the sixth century
A. D.; the age OF the medieval chess,
from the sixth century to the six
teentn century; and the age of the
modern chess, from the last OF the
sixteenth century to the present day.
or course many changes in the meth
cd Of play took place in the course of
development of the game, and as 1t Is
played now 1t is different from the
game the ancients knew.
Chess has been played in nearly
every country. Chess-boards have been
found among the ruins of POmpeil and

CURIOUS OLD LAWS
WE'RE THOSE OF COLONY AND
DOMINION OF VIRGINIA.
Order Given for Building Of Jail Seems
to Have Been Beginning of Law
and order-Rules for
Innkeepers.

During one of his last lecture tours
through Old Virginia MIR. Harry Ellard
was in a small town called Fincastle,
which Is the county seat of Botetourt
county, and there gave talk to the
Confederate Veteran association of that
place. He met number Of gentlemen
who were connected with the court
house and who allowed him access to
all of the records of the county.
On looking back nearly 140 years he
came across a curious order of the
court which he copied and which is as
follows:
BE II remembered that at the house
of Mr.. Robert Breckenridge, in the
County of Botetourt, on Tuesday, the
thirteenth day of Febru ny, in the
tenth year of the reign of our Sover-
eign King George the Third, by the
grace of Cod of Great Britain, France
and Ireland King Defender of the
Faith, and in the year of our Lord
Christ one thousand seven hundred
and seventy, in the Colony and Do
minion of Virginia, that the Court or
ders that the Surveyor of Botetourt
county do lay off two and one-half
acres of land for the use of the county,
directed by Robert Breckenridge, who
shall appoint by court Christian and
STEPHEN Figg to agree with a workman
to build a log cabin twenty-four feet
long and twenty feet WIDE for Court
house, with a clapboard roof with two
small rooms, one at each end, for a
jury room.
THE court doth give leave to James
M. Geoock to build log cabin twenty
four feet long and sixteen feet wide,
with an addition at the end sixteen feet
wide and twelve feet long. for a prison
and the Gaoler's House, the expense of
which to be paid by the county"
This was the first record Mr.. Ellard
came across, so 1t will be seen that by
the building of the courthouse and Jail
law and order began to prevail in this
section. Another curious order which
Mr.. Lilard copied is as follows:
Order OF the Colonial Court regulat-
ing the charge of Innkeepers at Fin
castle, Virginia, 14th day of February,
177O, under King George III. of Eng
land, Defender of the Faith. #
ordered that the following rates be
observed by innkeepers in Botetourt
county to-wit: For East India rum
they may demand 10 shillings per gal
Ion, for rum made on this continent
2 shillings siHpence per gallon, Madeira
wine ~ shiliings per gallon, for Tene-
riff il shillings per gallon, for peach
brandy shillings per gallon, for APP
pie brandy shillings per gallon. For
Virginia strong malt beer, bottled three
months, pence half penny per bottle,
same not bottled three months one
! shilling three pence; for Bumbo with
two gills of rum to the quart made
with white sugar one shilling three
pence, for same with brown sugar one
| shilling. For warm diet with beer
sixpence, for lodging with clean sheets,
one in bed, sixpence, two in a bed
three pence three farthings, more than
two in bed nothing"
There was no explanation given as to
what Bumbo was, but it might have
been colonial highball.

Effort to Save Elephants.

Travellers from Africa are urging the
governments OF Europe to take steps
to preserve the elephants in their re-
spective colonies and spheres of inilu-
ence. In India the government con-
trolls the forests and the laws are strict.
When elephants are DANGEROUS, per
mits are issued for hunting the ''vaga-
bonds" or ban elephants, ana when
they arc killed all permits are revoked
In siam all elephants belong to the
croN g. and are never killed. Every
five Gears there is q government in
spectiun Of them, ali white elephants
are sent to the prince royal and the
domestic stock Is increased by careful
selection from the general herd. The
elephant there Is appreciated as a la.
borer and a domest' servant; but IN
Africa thousands are kil!cd every year
for Their livery. which IS writer, hard
err and more esteemed than that of the
Asiatic elephant.
