Effects of Drugs.
Persons employed In India rubber

of carbmi and stiller frou. f rluhl fill
dreams of belli", murdered or of fall
ing over precipices. Opium stliiiiihitirs
Illumination; alcohol In excess excites
dread and suspicion; hasheesh, from
which the word assassin was derived,
produces homicidal mania. These
driifis have it distinct effect upon His
moral sense. Sometimes, as from al
cohol, a coarse anil stupid brutality Is
stimulated, or, as from morphia, a
Klontny and morose temper, or. as from
cocaine, while I he manner remains
gentle, I lie victim develops thieving

Uuaint Hymns.
For unreality of sentiment in hymns
we must go back to the eighteenth
century. Here Is an Instance:
Ah. lovely appearance of death!
What sight upon earth la so fair?
Not all the gay pageant! that breathe
Can with a dead body compare.
It seems strange that death should
bare been the occasion for a touch of
unconscious humor In a hymn. In the
collection entitled "Hymns, Ancient
and Modern," there was and possibly
still la tbe following verse:
They do not hear when the great bell
la ringing overhead.
They cannot rise and come to church
With ua for they are dead.
Tbe list of things wblcb "they" are
unable to do might be Indefinitely ex
tended. London Chronicle.
Had to Walk.
The intoxicated gentleman stared In
a bewildered manner at the sign on
tbe bridge. Tbe sign read, "Loads
Must Not Be Taken Across tbe Bridge
Faster Than a Walk."
After giving the sign profound study
be observed:
"Don't shee how fellersh wP loadsh

MODERN CHESS.
The Game Vastly Different From That
of the Ninth Century.
Chess is but n game, a pastime, a
relaxation, but it has ut times ab
sorbed the faculties of the Intellectual
in every clime. Perhaps the greatest
eulogy on the name wus the remark
of Sir Walter Italelj,'li( "I do not wish
to live longer than 1 cau pluy chess."
It Is certain that those who do not
play tbe game are quite unable to
form any conception of the high Intel
lectual delights experienced by the
chess enthusiast.
Tbe origin of chest bos been sought
in vain. Tbe fact Is tbe game bus go
changed, developed and Improved
down tbe course of centuries that In
Its present form It would not be rec
ognized by its Inventor, If there ever
was one. Tbe oldest chess problem on
record is thought to be that contained
in an ancient Persian manuscript at
tributed to Caliph Kallfen Mutasln
Billab, who reigned in Bagdad A. D.
833 to 842. But tbe reader would bare
to learn tho old rules before it was
intelligible. For example, tbe queen
could make a move of only one square
at a time and that on a diagonal, but
a queen promoted from a pawn was
allowed to make a move of two
squares diagonally. Tbe bishop bnd
no power over any square except tbe
third from wblcb it stood on its owu
diagonal line, but It was allowed to
vault over any piece Unit happened to
bo between. In short. It was a totally
different game. Chess in tbe precise
form lu wblcb we know it and play it
today Is a comparatively modern gamp.

Amending a Proverb.
There are a lot of silly proverbs
knocking about Take, for Instance.
"If pigs had wings they would fly."
Now, this Is absurd If you like. Do
you know what sized wings a pig
weighing eighty pounds would require
in order to fly? Tbey would measure
about thirty yards from tip to tip. A
nice state of things to keep pigs id an
aviary wltb wings of that size! Tbe
proverb would run mucb better:
If pigs could fly
Pork would be high. '

The Right Way.
Little Willie liked ice cream, but be
objected to turning the freezer. One
day bis mother was agreeably sur
prised to find Id in working at the
crank as if bis life depended on it.
"Dow did you get Willie to turn the I
ice cream freezer?" she said to hoi'
husband. "I offered bim 2 cents to do I
it, and be wouldn't" .
"You didn't go about it tbe right
way. my dear," replied ber husband
"I bet bim a cent be couldn't turn It 1
for bulf an hour!"

Do 'You Really Leve Doge?
rerbups the fluid test of anybody'
love of dogs Is willingness to fiermlt

Lawyert' Wills.
A remarkable specimen of a lawyer's
Invalid will wns that of Kir Joseph
Jockyll, muster of tho rolls, who died
lu n.'iH n nd bcqticnthcd his fortune
after bis wife's death to pay off the
national debt. "Sir Joseph was a good
mail and n good lawyer," was Lord
Mansfield's comment, "but his bequest
was a very foolish one. He might as
well buvc attempted to stop the middle
arch of London bridge with bis full
bottomed wig." The testator's patriotic
intentions were therefore treated as
proof of mental weakness, and bis will
was promptly set aside. Among the
many blundering wills that lawyers
have inndo for their clients, if not for
themselves, the strangest, on record
was that of a Dublin gentleman who
left all bis money to tbe elder son of
his brother and, If be bnd no elder
son, to the second. London Chronicle.
Raindrops.
Drops of rain vary In their size per
haps from a twenty-fifth to a quarter
of an inch in diameter. In parting
from the clouds they precipitate their
descent till the Increasing resistance
opposed by tho air becomes equal to
their weight, when they continue to
fall with uniform velocity. ' This ve
locity Is therefore lu a certain ratio
to the diameter of tbe drops; beuce
tbunder and other showers in which
the drops are large pour down faster
than a drizzling rain. A drop of tho
twenty-fifth part of an inch In falling
through the air would, when it had
arrived at Its uniform velocity, ac
quire a celerity of only eleven and a
half feet per second, while one of a
quarter of nn inch would have a ve
locity of thirty-fhrce and a half feet.

CHINA'S GREAT WALL
It Would Be a Mighty Task to Dupli

What man has done, we are told.,
man can do. But to erect today a
great fortification comparable to the
Grent wall of China would be a heavy
tax on both the resources and the res

warships are all very well, but the
cost of Inbor and the will Involved In'
building fleets can hardly be compared
to those devoted to the building of
tbnt grent barrier about two centuries
before the coming of Christ, when

Giants and Dwarfe.
In tho seventeenth century all the

Austria were assembled in Vienna In

As circumstances required that all

was a fear that tbe Imposing propor
