The Drunken Parliament.

There was a Scotch parliament
once which would not have cast a Sec
ond glance at the Temperance
(Scotch) bill which has just made it's
third appearance in the house of COM
mons. The first parliament which
met in Scotland after the restoration
OF Charles H. had not the least hank
erings after temperance reform. It
acquired the name Of "the drunken
parliament" in fact, and lived up to
its reputation. Scott in his Tales
of a Grandfather" gives evidence:
when the Scottish parliament met
the members were in many instances
under the influence of wine. and they
were more than once obliged to ad.
journ because the royal commissioner
(MiddIeton) was too intoxicated to be-
have properly In the chair"

The Sliding Seat.

A sliding stroke was adopted by Eng

seats, but upon what the Americans
called the "buckskin and butter" plan.
Newcastle scullers used to slide on a
long, highly polished thwart by the
free use of grease or soap, their row.
ing trousers being strapped at the seat
with wash leather. This device was
introduced to the Thames by Robert
Chambers when he sculled a match
with Harry Kelly in 1866, and was
used by the Tyne crew when they
rowed st. John, New Brunswick, in
1870. In 1871 the Tyne crew, who had
gained a knowledge OF the movable
seat during their visit to America.
used sliding seats at Newcastle; and
they were fitted to the coxswainless
four In which the London Rowing club
beat the Atlanta crew, OF New York.
IN 1872. After the success of the new
arrangement at Henley, sliding seats
were adopted by both universities for
the varsity boat race of 1878.

Chess, and the Game of Life.

An Indian philosopher thus describes
chess: 1T is a representative con-
test, a bloodless combat, an image not
only of actual military operation, but
of that greater warfare, which every
son of the earth, from the cradle to
the grave, is continually waging-the
battle of life" One sees clearly that,
even going back to its birth. the par
allelism between chess and men ex-
lists, for does anybody know just when,
where and how the first man appeared
on earth? Also, is it not fact that
mans attributes and nature have re-
manned unchanged throughout cen
turtles, and that chess was played
much in the same way, each chess
man moving in it's allotted manner
even five thousand years ago?

 apidares in the world. For hundreds of years the Swiss of these French Alps have made business of cutting precious stones. They are wonderful artists. In the summer they work their fields. and in the winter they cut and polish precious stones. At odd times they find work for their busy hands fashioning Swiss toys and brier pipes. They work so cheaply that it has been found impossible foi American lapidaries to compete success fully with them in this kind of work There is hardly family in this portion of Switzerland that is new to the trade and there are dozens of families every male member of which for more than 1 three centuries has been a cutter or g polisher of precious stones.
 According to the instructions of Miss Walker these Swiss lapidaries cut and polish the sapphires. So many are de- signed for rings, so many for scarfpins so many for pendants, so many for brooches.
