Trade Dollars Coined in ItaIv

A silver dollar is now being coined
by the Italian government especially
for its trade in the African colony Of
Eritrea and it Is likely that this new
dollar will become the medium OF
trade all around the Red sea. Fog
100 years the most widely used coin IN
the Red sea district has been the Aus
train Marie Theresa dollar, of which
about 2O0.O00,000 were in circulation
there at the beginning of the war; II
Is estimated that at least One-third OF
these have been melted down in the
last seven years. The new Italian
dollar greatly resembles the Marie
Theresa dollar, because the Arabs are
so conservative that any radical
change would have prevented its In.

WELCOME FOR CHESS PLAYER
DeVotee Of Game, Traveller Asserts,
Will Never Lack Companonship
or Entertainment Anywhere.

If you want to travel but feel I'M
equal to learning supply of modern
languages for the purpose, then play
chess. The ideal substitute for ESPer-
antO and Latin at last has been found,
if the experiences of scholar VINO
lately returned from long wanderingS
on foot through Europe may be trust
ed, for he says that everywhere the
enthusiast can find chess players
That he need never lack companion
ship or entertainment.
The speech of chess is more reliably
universal than musical notation. You
may employ it in hut and castle with
out danger of going astray from ell
quette, and it has no pitfalls OF double
meaning. The traveller may ENJOY ms
little game in the Alhambra, in the
MOSQUES of STEAMBOAT and in London
clubs. His chess men being his faith
full companions, partner was sure to
turn up, of what nationality it matter
ed not at all.
Once, on walking trip the whole
length Of the Italian peninsula, he VS.
tied the ancient Benedictine monastery
of Monte Casino, whose learned
monks were all devoted to chess and
sat aside spacious room in the great
building for their games. Its furniture
consisted merely of a chess table;
players and spectators stood. Inc
monks kept him two days as their
guest in a continuous tournament, and
he lost but one game after banquet
I'm his honor whereat old, rare vintages
appeared in profusi0n. The scene OF
TIE play was dramatic, the contestants
standing in the center of circle OF
cOwled monks, who followed every
move in intense silence.
Another continuous tournament ne
played on horseback while jOurneying
through MesOpOtamia another while
drifting down the TigriS on raft or
g0atskias to M0sul, where he tried his
skill with tie archbishop of Bagdad,
genial opponent. At Tabriz, metropolis
of Persia, he played simultaneously
against the eight strongest players or
the city. The traveller attributes his
success in q diplomatic mission TO an
act of great self-deniai-he permitted
distinguished n0bleman, commission
| ed by the shah to cOedact negotiations
with him, to defeat him in series of
games which preceded the contest of

BREAD for Many Purposes.

Many a life had been saved by eat
ing a quantity Of bread after an acct
dent such as swallowing button or a
bone. Figs and dates are very good,
but bread is always at hand and can
be given at once. They all form a
iellylike mass around the pieces and
often allow 1t to pass harmlessly
through the digestive tract, whereas
an emedc is generally useless. With
children bread can be given without
fear of Its upsetting the stomach.

opinion that affairs in that country

Of that country was hopeless" He
said, among other things:

ALL Went INTO THE BILL
Moroccan Ruler Found In tho End
That He Paid fer His
Hours 81 Bridge.

How the sultan Of Morocco, kulai
Hand, played bridge with his dentist
has been amusedly told.
A close friendship sprang up BE-
tween the sultan and IN English
dentist, and as often As not, bridge
took the place Of dentistry. The
dentist would arrive with his timid
lady assistant, and al his implements
Of torture. only to be invited to sit
down at the table and play cards. The
lady-assistant was very young and
very shy. and was more accustomed to
play children's card games than
bridge. A fourth player would be
found and the ill-assorted party COM
pleted. The ex-sultan enjoyed himself
immensely. He generally won, per-
haps by never permitting the trembling
lady assistant to be his partner. The
points were one franc hundred, 80
no very serious damage could be done
but rich as the sultan was, he re-
joiced more in his humble winnings at
bridge than over his many thousands
In the banks. Not little of his en-
jOyment was owing to the fact that he
felt that he was doing" the dentist.
He comes" the ex-sultan would say,
ito mend my teeth and to take my
gold, and in the end win his francs"
But one day the climax came. The
teeth were excellently repaired-the
work was Of the best-there was no
more to be done but to pay the BILL
and the bill very naturally and rightly
included all the bridge hours. at so
much per hour It was the most ex-
pensive bridge Mulai Hafid ever
played.

Sometimes in a village quarter to a
third Of a mile long there will not be
a single cross-road or street whereby
a vehicle can get from the front to the

the paths-they are little more-are

When window glass becomes

ture be left over night.
It is but the work Of a few minutes
to tack over the hole a thick piece of

can be used. This is. Of course, only

Arthur hit safely.
 Two more were added in the third when Adams walloped the pill for a two bagger, scoring Elliott and La belle. In the fourth Catfrey crossed the pan when Reddy laid down a neat sacrifice and then Elliot came home when Mcdonald heaved wild one to Lavis.
 Caffrey contributed one of the feat ures of the game in the seventh when he hit the leather to center for home run. In the next inning Blanchette was robbed of home run when he was caught at the plate. He rode the pill into left and would have stretched it into a homer if he had had one more step on the throw to the plate. His elout, however, was good for one run for Labelle scored.
 In the eighth Pellerin scored when Caffrey rapped out a safe one and la ter Caffrey raced home when Elliott connected.
 The visitors lone run came when Benson got on ith a bingle through third and completed the circuit when Davis hit one to left, which, bounding over Adams head, went down as a three bagger.
 Westein, Couillard, Davis and Ben son played best for the visitors, but it was left to Gosselyn to turn in the feature catch of the game, nabbing a sure two bagger from the bat of Neal, at his shoe tops, while on the dead run. He got a big hand from the fans.
 Elliott, Reddy, Pellerin, Caffrey and Blanchette starred for, the home club. Elliott pilferred total of five bases and in this line Lebelle was a close second. stealing three sacks. Besides
