Why Chess Was Invented.

OF all the theories which have been
advanced as to the origin of chess,
for it must be remembered that the
exact origin is quite unknown, the
most plausible appears to be that the
ancient Buddhist priests invented the
game of chess SO that the natural
fighting instinct of mankind might
find an outlet without transgressing
the Buddhistic commandment, which
prohibited fighting Although the chess
of medieval and modern Europe was
undoubtedly derived from Arabic or
Persia sources, yet India was the real
cradle in which the game was nur-
tured The words check and
mate" mere phonetic equivalents OF
the Persian words "Shah"-a king
and "mat"-he is dead-the king is
dead-are conclusive proof of the Per
sian origin of the game SO far as it's in
PRODUCTION into western countries is
concerned

The Chinese LANGUAGE.

A European student of the Chinese
language says it is not SO difficult to
acquire as is commonly supposed.
First, there is no spelling. You hear
and read of Chinese spelling, but it is
imaginary rather than real Some
characters are made by combining
other characters, but each character is
a word. There is very little infection,
and there are few unnecessary words.
The language is so simple that some
uneducated people use only few hun
dred words in all. There are many
beautiful and intensely interesting ex-
pressions. A Chinaman speaks of a
fault as that which is not" of repu-
tation as name Tone" of obedience as
hearing words" of politeness as
guest breath" gunpowder is fire med
icine and to get the smallpox is to
flower OUT Such expressions ars
found in nearly every lesson. The
study of Chinese is difficult because
it must be Learned from Chinaman

Artificial snaIs.

Snails. the only genuine part OF
which are the shells are now being
sold in Paris. and it is said that the
imitation of the real article is so close
that many epicures have high opin.
ion of the sham product. But it is
presumed that they do not know that
the snails are artificial, and they are
certainly ignorant of the method by
which the snails are manufactured
Snail-shells, it seems, are bought from
the dust-men and rag-pickers, and aft
er being cleaned are filled with
lights" or cats meat the soft flesh
being cut into corkscrew form, so as
to fit the she'll by skillfully designed
machine. The receptacle is then seal
ed by means of liquid fat, and the es
cargot is ready for the consumer. The
secret came out in consequence of III
action brought by man employed al
the satisfactory to recover damages
for finger mutilated by one of the
machines. The artificial snails find
ready market.
