The managing director says: With the playing of the game. the institute as such, is not of course, concerned. but an educational or enthnological element, with its history, general the ory and aesthetic phase. it is quite in our line" The public may not readily recognize its ethnolosical value. but that probably lies in the transference of this ancient game from country to country and its ef- feet upon the mental processes of various peoples. In it's essential fea- lures it wus played in Hindustan sl- most a~ far back as history runs. From. there it spread to Persia and thence to Arabia. The Ara6s in troduced it into Spain in the eighth century. and it was then gradually adopted in the other countries of Europe. As player and writer, Benjamin Franklin was the first Am erican to bring it into prominence It no doubt furnishes mental disci- pline of value, but the number of players who have become insane through devotion to it. suggests that its introduction into the sciences be carefully guarded.

anguish between right and wrong. In
bis summing up the young lawyer
made clever use of this point; but,
when about to close, expressed him
self in this extraordinary manner:
Gentlemen Of the jury, gaze upon

gentlemen, that receding forehead,
the significant angle of those ears,
The lack-luster expression Of those

Of the jury that these are unmistak-
able evidences of Natures deprivation
Of the power to distinguish right from
wrong? Ignorant of this distinction
between right and wrong, gentlemen

beetle be convicted of the charge

YsAYE GOT PRECIOUS VIOLIN.
Renowned Virtuoso Owes Possession
of Instrument to the Generous
Act of Friend.

An interesting story is told of M.
Eugene Ysaye. In his younger and
poorer days he was very anxious to
secure a Guadagnini violin which he
saw in pawnbrokers window In
Hamburg. Although he had not the
Rherewithal, he asked the pawnbro-
ker to lay it aside, as he might be
able to purchase it some day. The
man agreed to keep it for a certain
time. Ysaye went back to his rooms
with very mingled feelings. How
could he raise the necessary money?
That was the question which puzzled
md worried him. To his great sur
prise he met friend who had just
arrived. from Belgium, and in des-
pair begged him to lend him. enough
to buy the wonderful instrument. Its
a large sum to pay" said the friend.
and l haven't enough money with
me-" would you lend it if you had?"
asked the yiolinist. Eyes," was the
reply. Look here, then" said Ysaye,
you deal in diamonds?" Eyes" Then
leave few diamonds as security and
get me the precious Guadagnini."
Ysaye's friend was surprised at the
proposal, but realizing the earnest
ness of the request, consented to do
30. "In this way" says Ysaye, i
was married to my first love among
the fiddles-my Guadagnini."
