The Moves In Chess.

In the number of possible moves
chess stands alone among games. aud
not only is it perfectly safe to say that
no living man has ever made even
once every possible move, but it is
highly improbable that in all the cen
turies of the history of the game has
every possible move been made. The
different ways of playing the first four
moves on each side are so numerous
that II every man, woman and child
in city of half a million population
were to set to work playing them at
the rate of four moves minute night
and day it would be more than year
before any one would be able to leave

CoIors Warm and Cold.

One clear, cold winters day Benja-
min Franklin spread Il number Of
handkerchiefs carefully on level
stretch of snow. one Of the handker-
chiefs was black. another white and
the others of various colors. Some
time afterward he returned and re-
moved the hankerchiefs carefully one
by one, measuring the depth of snow
under each. Under the black handker-
chief he found that the snow had melt
ed considerably; under a red handker-
chief, almost as much under blue
handkerchief. very little. and under the
white one scarcely any. By this simple
experiment he learned that color has
great deal to do with the warmth of
clothing. White sheds the suns heat
almost as well as an oilskin sheds
water; blue is nearly as heat proof;
green is less so; yellow is warm color
red a still warmer color, while black
soaks up almost all the suns heat that
strikes it. Make the experiment some
time and you will see why black
clothes are out of place in the summer
time and white ducks in winter

Dry Lips.

Lips dry and constantly chapped
are apt to indicate a poor condition of

this symptom would do well to consult
a physician as TO her general health.
But, whether or not this is necessary.
external preparations applied locally
will relieve any irritation and some
times effect cure. When chapping
takes the form of deep cracks, almost
like cuts, gum benzoin is the best ap-
plication that can be made. Grease for
that purpose is not desirable. as the
skin must be drawn together and dried
in order that it may heal. This is the
action of gum benzoin. A bit should
be carried in ones purse or bag, ap-
plying it when needed. Care should
be taken that the gum is kept anti
septically clean.

in 1914, when the London Times was
first printed by steam, and a number
of workmen discharged through this
innovation sought to wreck the office
in Printing House square. Long be-
fore this the Times had been printed

Earnlass Powders.

A really good powder for persons
suffering from constantly greasy
complexion is not only harmless, but
is an absolute necessity. Powder, how
ever, must be applied with judgment
and care and should only be lightly
busted on and never rubbed in.
Try mixing three ounces of wheat
starch with one ounce of powdered
orris root, adding a drop or two of oil
of bergamot to scent it. The powder
must be repeatedly sifted through a
very fine sieve.
