THE DOCTORS QUESTION
Some Advise Against the Use of Harsh
 Purgati,es and Physics.

A doctors first question when con- suited by a patient is, Are your bowels regular?' He knows that qs per cent Of illness is attended with inactive bowels and torpid liver. The condition poiSons the system with waste matter and causes accumula- tion Of gases which must be removed through the bowels before health can be restored.
 Salts. ordinary pills and cathartics may be truly likened to dynamite. Through their harsh, irritating ac ton they force q passage through the bowels causing pain and damage 10 the delicate intestinal structure. which weakens tine whole system. and a1 best only produces temporary re- lief. The repeated use of such treat ments causes chronic irritation of the stomach and bowels. dries and har- dens their tissues, deadens their nerves. stifiens their muscles and gen eraily brings about an injurious habit which sometimes has almost. fl not fatal results.

ANTIQUITY OF CHESS.
Origin In the Far East-Warriors Who
We're Fond of Game.


Chess stands out separate and
distinct from all other games. It's
ambiguity counts for much. No
body knows how old the game is or
who invented it, but its origin was
in the far east.
There are good grounds for say
ing that Charles the Great played
chess, and from this time onward
through the centuries the game
must have been constantly played
among the knights and courtiers of
the west. John of Salisbury, the
historian, tells of an incident that
occurred some 300 years later than
Charlemagne.
In the stress of battle between
French and English the game of
chess was not forgotten. An Eng
lish knight seized the bride of King
Louis lie Gros and cried to his COM
rades, ''The king is takenw Louis,
Notwithstanding his carnal incum-
brance, more than equal to the
English knight, struck him to the
ground, exclaiming, know, Sir
Knight, that at chess the king is
never takenw
At the very same time in the
mysterious empire of the far east it
was daily custom of the heir of
the Caesars, after spending sleep
less nights in thinking how he could
repel the hordes of the Mohammed-
ans and maintain the cross against
the crescent, morning after morn
ing to collect around him his court
iers and friends to expel those
cares which made his nights uneasy
by the royal game of chess. So re-
cords Anna Commend of her i'm
perial father, whom she loved and
served so well.
At the time of the renaissance
chess was much played in the high
est Italian society. Pope Leo X.
delighted in the game and himself
possessed a set of silver chessmen.
And as the game is Of immemorial
antiquity, so its virtues will main
tain it so long as the world shall
last. The first book printed by
Caxton in the English language was
"The Game and Playe of the
Cheese. Treasury Magazine.

Female testers.

Nothing better illustrates the
dullnesS of society in the middle
ages than the custom used by all
high placed and wealthy persons Of
keeping a professional jester, nor
was it confined to Christendom, for
we read that Cortes found an indi-
vidual of this profession at the
court of Montezuma. Our modern
clowns, though very different from
the licensed testers of old, owe to
them, of course, their origin. But
so far as is known the female Jester,
who was in vogue before the male,
has no present representative. We
are told by Erasmus that in all the
great inns on the continent there
was in his time a female official of
this description who enlivened the
company as she waited at table by
witticisms and repartee. 1t should
be added, however, that she was
generally young and pretty. So late
as 1858 we read in Mrs. Hornby's
''Travels" that she found a female
jester at Constantinope who was
exceedingly amusing.

from, walked on. Again the ventril-

Seldom.

Writers do not always write
clearly, and there are times when
the wisest wells his wisdom or his
ignorance, like the cuttlefsh, in a
swirl of ink. A correspondent has
discovered the phrase-used in an
evening paper-"not unseldom. :"
He wonders what it means-how
to unpick the knots of negatives, as
it were, and find the positive. Let
the attempt be made.
seldom" means "not often"
Now, in English two negatives are
supposed to make an affirmative.
So "unseldom" will mean "not not
often" Add another negative, and
mot unseldom" should be equiv
alent to 'Enot not not often" Now
you can count your negatives and
conclude. But it would save you
trouble if the writer would write
simply seldom.-London Chronicle.

SECOND HELPINGs.
A Nice Calculation In Beans and {
Dose of Ginger Tea.


4 1t is told of an old time boarding
mistress of Marblehead, shrewd
dame who kept her boarders under
admirable control, that once, on
Saturday night, daring man broke
the unwritten law of the establish
ment and asked a second time for
beans. At once several others, who
had not dared, but were ready to
follow leader should he succeed,
looked up expectantly.
The landlady promptly ladled
into the plate Of the rash innovator

deepest interior Of the dish, and,
sweeping the table with a beaming
smile, declared triumphantly:

Second helpings were otherwise
discouraged by boarding mistress
of Old Morley. A young school
teacher, late to dinner from a skat-
ing party, ate little Of the half cold
and unappetizing first courses, but
ventured SOsecond request for hot
mince pie. 1t was served without
comment, but a few minutes after
dinner the maid tapped at her door.
'Missus is afraid all that pie
won't set WE'LL" she announced,
"and she says shan't she make you
some ginger tea ?"
The kind offer was declined. But
a half hour later the maid appeared
again.
'Missus says she's sure you must
be needin' ginger tea by now" she
stated. "She'll send some right up
the minute you say SO. It's all
ready"
Somewhat less graciously the Of
fer was declined again. But in
few minutes the maid reappeared
with tray and 'EHere's your gin
ger tea; missus says you better be
on the safe side and take it."
Rather sharply the tray was re-
pudiated. Five minutes later the
maid knocked once more.
'Missus says she's got to go out,
but she amt just easy in her mind
to leave you. She's put your ginger
tea on the back of the stove, keepin'
hot, and you'll find the extract bot
tie on the second shelf of the pan

says she hopes you'll be all right,
but that pie was awful rich, and
two pieces was enough to upset an
ostrich"
They did not disturb the diges-
ton Of the healthy and hungry
young schoolmistress. But she never
risked mourning her landlady's So
licitude by more second helpings.
The ginger tea had cured her of
that.-Youth's Companion.

Scottish Marriage Custom.

Many quaint marriage customs
still survive in some old English
and Scottish families. One notable
tradition of this sort still kept
green by the Dukes of Atholl and
their heirs, says the London Lady's
Realm, is that of the bridegroom
carrying the bride across the thresh-
old of Blair castle, it being in ac-
cord with an ancient tradition that
it is unlucky for bride who enters
the castle for the first time to walk
in the ordinary way. This is only
one of the many quaint old feudal
customs that are observed upon this
estate, which the Duke of Atholl
holds from the crown by one Of
those strange tenures which are oc-
casionally to be found in Great
Britain. Upon fear of forfeiture
the owner has to present his SOW
ereign with white rose whenever
he or she visits the castle.

How Emery Is Quarried.

Emery comes from the island of
Naxos, in the eastern Mediter-
ranean, whence it has been export
ed for the last two centuries or
more. The beds are in the north
east of the island. The material is
much too hard to be dug out or
even blasted. Great fires are light
ed around the blocks till the nat
ural cracks expand with the heat,
and levers are then inserted to pry
them apart. This system is con
tinued until the blocks are reduced
in size to masses of ii cubic foot or
less, and they are then shipped as
if they were coal.

A Lucky Answer.

A famous animal painter says
that when he was a boy he once
witnessed a fight between two dogs,
one of which belonged to an Irish
man who was a retired prizefghter.
The Irishman's dog was badly beat
en-, and the fact was a source of
deep chagrin to the owner. He was
very jealous Of his dogs record, but
as only he and the painter had seen
the fight he asked the latter in a
decidedly significant way which of
the dogs won.
"Why," was the reply, your dog
won, of course. He was underneath
the other dog, but he was chewing
the life out of the cur all the time.
That's roight," said the Irish
man. "You have saved your loife. "
