Strange Drauqhts Boards.

Probably the most extraordinary
draught board IN the wOrli was con-
structed at st. Leonard, England, In
1891. 1t was made Of solid blocks Of
concrete, three feet thick, and Its sur
face covered an area Of 625 square
feet. A draught board, which at one
time belonged to Bismarck. is estimat-
cd to have cost more than $4,000.
The squares are made Of solid gold
and silver. This draught board was
declared by experts to be the most
valuable In existence. A set Of
draughtsmen, IL of gold and ~ Of
silver, were presented to the prince.
In the center Of each golden draught
was a beautiful ruby, while lnlald In
the center Of each silver one was
peerless diamond. A quaint old draught
board is still to be seen hanging as a
sign outside the Chequers Inn, 0s-
motherley. It's interest lies in the
fact that neither the original painter
Of the sign, nor the landlord Of the
Inn, was n draughts player. The
board has 5S squares, whereas a real
draught board contains "a.

Monserrat is an outlying spur Of the

legend, many centuries ago an image
OF the Virgin was found at the top Of
the mountain, and II was impossible to

TO men that they should build a shrine
on Monserrat
In medieval times It was a shrine OF
uneXcelled beauty and splendor. An
emperor came here TO kneel and to
cover the great Byzantine church with
gold. A queen walked up the noun

came In bottles from the grocer's.

"Once upon a time the devil quar-.

and he determined TO destroy them;
so, he dug up spadeful Of English
earth, and set out to dam the River
Taft below Castell COch. He walked
till he reached the foot of RhubIna

castle, near The old smithy of Heven

day being hot he sat down to rest
Looking up, he espied cObbIer com.

then the custom, going round the

shoes that needed soling. Good day.

recognizing at once with whom he had
to deal, guessed that the devil was
contemplating some mischief. SO he
opened his bag, and, displaying the
old shoes with soles full Of holes, an.

was too tired to pursue what he i'm
ag!ned must be very long journey,
and In disgust threw the spadcful of
earth over the hedge; and, as the old
man who told me the story said,
