HIS UNIQUE ANTIQUES.

They Were Sold One by One, Vet the
 Set Remained Intact.
 An old curiosity dealer of Paris re- gently found new snare for the eter- nally guileless amateur. He put in his window five dolls dressed in vaguely medieval clothes. Collector No. came in and asked to buy one of them. The dealer could not divide the lots. as they were a valuable set. representing the five senses. After long persuasion the amateur at last carried one of at a very long price.
 Collector No. followed. Could he have one of the dolls? "Out of the question. sir; most valuable set, rep resenting the four seasons" After more long persuasion and at still longer price one of the dolls was sold. When amateur No. 3 called the three dolls were the three graces. a most valuable set. which could not be di- vided. By offering an enormous sum he carried off one of them.
 Amateur No. called and wanted to buy one of the two dolls. What was monsieur actually proposing? The two dolls were Adam and Eve, sculptured and dressed by some forgotten medic val artist. The pair could not possibly be parted. The collector eventually carried off Adam for a gigantic sum- Amateur No. called and asked: "How much for that curio? Evidently an odd one of a set.''
 "An odd one of setr screamed the dealer. "It is a unique piece. Does not monsieur perceive that 1t repre- sents Agnes Sorel. the favorite of Charles VII.T And the amateur se- cured the unique piece for a fabulous amount.-Paris Cor. London Telegraph.

PAGANINI HELPED HER.

The Great ViOIinist Didn't Play the
 Miser on This Occasion.
 The following story places Paganini in better light than this musical miser was accustomed to appear And really one is led to wonder which is the true Paganini-the miser or the kind artist giving his talent to assist a poor servant girl. One morning the maid who waited on him in Paris came to him. weeping. and told how her lover had been conscripted and sent away to the war, and she, of course. was too poor to buy a substi- tute for him.
 Paganini resolved to aid the girl and took unique way to do 1t. He pro. cured wooden shoe and so fashioned 1t that it could be strung up and played like a fiddle. Then he adyer- tised that he would give concert and play lfiveopieces on the violin and five on a wooden shoe. Of course this strange announcement drew a good house. The violinist had given the girl tickets to the concert. and after it was over he went to her, and. pouring 20, 900 francs into her lap. he told her that she could now purchase a substitute for her sweetheart and with the re- mainder set up housekeeping. He also gave her the wooden shoe that had brought her such good fortune and told her to sell 1t. Of course this curl ous instrument brought her a goodly sum. which. she added to the amount which was to bring her domestic hap pfness.-W. Francis Gates in "Anec- dotes of Great Musicians"

MASTERS OF CHESS.
Some of the Greatest 6lindfoIded
 Players of the Past.

Some of the Greatest BlindfoIded
 Players of the Past.
 Playing at chess without seeing the board is a much older accomplishment than Is generally known even among chess players. Buzecca, an Italian. as early as 1266 played three games at once, looking at one board, but not at the other two. His three competitors were skilled in the game. but he won two games and made d draw of the third. Ruy Lopez, whose name has been given to an opening; Mangiolini, Terone Medrano. Leonardo da Cutis, Paoh Boi. Salvia and others who lived between the thirteenth and seven teenth centuries were able to play the game without seeing the board. Father Sacchieri of Pavia early in the eight eenth century played three games at once against three players without see ing any of the boards.
 It remained for Phillidor. the great est genius at chess known up to his time. to play blindfolded in England in 17S3 against three of the best players then living, winning two games and drawing the third. surprising his an tagonists and the throng of onlookers by keeping up a lively conversation all the while. Phillidor's achievement as to the number of simultaneous games has been far outdone by Paul Morphy. Paulsen. Blackburne and several of their successors. But Phillidor. lively Frenchman that he was. still holds the palm as a conversationalist and player at the same time.
 Phillidor was the assumed name of Francois Andre Danican. born at Dreux in 1726 He was educated as a court musician for Louis XIV. He com posed music to Dryden's "Alexander's Feast" and to many operas. all long since forgotten. Dunican's fame does not live in music. but as Phillidor, the chess player. As a chess player he vis- ited Holland, Germany and England. In 1749, while in England. he published his Analysis of Chess" a work which has taken its place among the classics of the game. He died in England Aug. S1, 1795-Exchange.
