Every Ameiican should realize that the principle of self government Is a higher principle than that of loyalty to the best sovereign, for It Is lidelity to the highest good of all and to virtue, Intelligence and God. He who shares In tlio government gains lu moral dig nity. His manhood Is developed by re sponsibility. He loves and will main tain a government iu which his own will and Intelligent choice are involved, lie will feel that upon his single arm, his single voice, his single life, hangs the preservation of the government and the national freedom. This is the American feeling. It burns lu every true American breast. England Is the only truly free coun try of the old world, and the English man is a free man; hut our glory Is that humanity Itself, one and Indivisi ble, may rise to a higher plane with us than iu England, lu England the son treads precisely In the footsteps of his fathers, and It is hard for a man to rise above the dead level of the class of society In which he was born. There Is an oppressive weight resting on the spirit of the lower classes, and as long as the absolute caste system prevails to such an unnatural and irrational extent the government will feel no sin cere desire to educate the people above their present condition. Here Is our undeniable ground of superiority. Let us not cast it away by allowing the really vulgar Idea of material luxury to overcome and overwhelm the high er and nobler good. James M.

In deed, the safest thing to any about it Is that Its origin is lost In the mists of an tiquity, ltepreseutatious of persons playing at a game res;ml)lln:r drau-ihts are I'reiiuently loiuid on ancient Egyp tian monuments at least U.uiM) years old. The Greeks had a similar game, fro::i who;n ist.ibl.v II passed to the lton.::::s. At le.ut the old Human game of lati-uncull seems to have been a kind of draughts, though It is doubtful if the game as now played Is very ancient. The game was popular and well knowu In Era nee and Spain in the seventeenth century and was probably played there and In England centuries before that. That It was from Trance the game came Into many of the oilier countries is evident from the fact that the French name Jeu de dnnies paused with It. Dam or dnmii:-.' was once tlie regular English name lor one of the pieces. In Genua uy the game is still called dame spiel, Iu Holland the board is dambord. and in Scotland dam'irod still survives.
