The game of checkers, whether we call it checkers or draughts, is ancient and almost universal. The Chinese have a form of 1t which they call "the game of circumventton." It was known to the Egyptians, the Greeks and the Romans, and, what is stranger still, antiquarians find 1t to be one of the amusements of the aborigines of New Zealand, a people who were ap- parently cut off from all continental associations and influences for thou sands of years. So the pedigree of the game is as long as that of chess, and indeed there have been skillful players of both games who regarded checkers as the better of the two.-Youth's Com panion.
