And He Proved That Fact In, a Mos! Emphatic Manner. In Austria-Hungary some years ago there was a marvelous cbess, player, whose name and residences were . un- known, but who every now. and then 'displayed his .remarkable shill in the game. The last story of him was told by James II. Byatt of F•hiladelphia, who bad then just 'returned from Budapest. "I was playing chess `n'itb a friend in a cafe," said Mr. Hyatt, "and plain- ly saw my defeat, when a little bit of a shriveled Pole with a tray of cheap jewelry stood in front of us and offer- ed his wares in most persuasive tones: " `Go away,' I said. "You can beat him,' answered the peddler, whose attention was on the game. "What do you know about it? I asked. "'May I tell him?' be inquired, look - inn, at: my opponent. " `Certainly. Crack away,' came the reply' in a tone of assurance. . "T,ake bis knight,' said, my,; self:'ap. 'pointed inatrtletor- 1' did so to humor him, though I lost my queen by the operation. But, much to my surprise, I found that the very next move gave me the game. "'Let me play with you?' asked the peddler. 'I mate you in the moves you say and where you say.' " If yon do I will give you 10 florins; I answered. 'Take the white men. Mate me on my queen's fourth square in twenty-two moves if you can.' "We started in, my friend keeping account of the moves, and moved rap- idly. After about a dozen moves I had the advantage of a bishop and a pawn and was assured I would defeat my aggressive little opponent. When be let a castle go by an apparently care- less play I was sure of victory. Then came a sudden change in the situation, -and I had to move my king out of check. I was on the defensive and in rapid retreat. "'Twenty-one moves,' said my friend as the little peddler put me again in check with his knigbt. "'Mater cried my opponent as be swung bis queen across the board. "My king was on the queen's fourth square. "I gave'him 10 florins, and he walk- ed away shaking his head and hands with infinite satisfaction." - Dreams As Omens. From the earliest times recorded In history men:' have believed, .'in the prophetic character of dreams. So far as we know, the first to deliberately and systematically attempt the inter- pretations of dreams was Ampbyctyon of Athens, •who lived aboutthe year 1490 B. C.. The Bible mentions dreams in many places, and we are entitled to conclude from the Biblical refer- ences that there. were professional in- terpreters of dreams who were not in- frequently resorted to by the dream- ers.—Exchange. . The Ruling Passion. It is related of •a certain German sa- vant, to show how strong the ruling passion is in death, that as he 'was dying be exclaimed in French, in which language be was deeply learn- ed, "Je coeurs" (I die). Pretty soon he opened bis eyes before passing away and added, "Man kann such sagen, le me meurs!" (One can also In French use the reflexive form of the verb "to ale.") His last flicker of interest was In the word more than in the fact of Method In Her Breakage. "Augusta is an awfully bright girl, isn't she?" "Yes, indeed! When she is reading a novel on the front porch her mother never thinks of asking ber to wash tbe disbes." "Why not?" "She's sure to break so many of them." 'Honey Vinegar.

One of These Is Accidental and the Other Is Intentional, but Either Adds to the Interest of the Specimen—A Curious Nicaraguan Issue:' It really is interesting to study the things' wbicb may be found -upon the backs of stamps. One might group these into two classes—accidental and intentional. In the first class would come "double printings" and "offsets." In- this' instance by double printings we refer to those stamps which were accidentally printed upon both sides of the paper. These are very rare. By offset we mean wbere too much ink was used or the sheets laid upon each other while too wet, so tbat the color from the face of one sheet came off on the back of the one next to it. These double impressions and oti'sets are found in the surcharging of stamps as well as in the original printings. :Otasets,aSeaconaparatiyeiy common:and vary very much in intensity of color and completeness of design. In the earlystaatps'of.Grent'Britain the color of the stamp has changed the gum, or perhaps.the paper, to a beautiful blue, and, as there was little or no color on the portrait in the design, this head appears in wbite upon a blue back- ground on tbe back of the stamp. This is called an "ivory head" and is very interesting. Before we take up the matter of what is intentionally placed on the backs of stamps we might say that the paper upon which sucb stamps are printed usually shows best from the back. It may, of course, be eitber thin or thick, white or colored partially or completely through. It may have silk threads here and there like the ttnited States revenues first issues on silk pa- per or silk all tbrougb like the later issue (1873) revenues, or it may be "granite" paper, like certain stamps of Austria, Switzerland and Japan. Again; there may be embedded in the paper silk threads running the whole length of the sheet, as in certain is- sues of Bavaria, Wurttemberg and es- pecially Switzerland, where threads of many colors may be found. In considering what is intentionally placed on tbe backs of stamps we no- tice first the gum. Tbis can easily be found in many shades—white, yellow- . is'b brown, dark brown, pink or rose. Some of the old ,(7erman. states espe- cially have a fondness for pink gum. The second thing to look for, in- tentionally placed .on the backs of stamps, is something' in the nature of a protection against cleaning or coun- terfeiting: Odder rifle bead "`would come grills or embossings. Excellent illustrations of these are found on our own stamps and again in those of Peru. Watermarks, while not placed on the backs of stumps, show much more plainly there and may be includ- ed in one's collection of "backs." As a protection against counterfeit- ing, one may call attention to the nu- merals upon the backs of, the early is- sues of Greece, for there are many errors and varieties to be found in these old Grecian stamps. Mexico protects some of her stamps by print- ing across the backs a line of blue moire, an irregular arraugement of curved lines. Sweden about 1386 com- menced printing on the backs of ber postage stamps a small blue picture of a post horn. Tbis practice was con- tinued some years. As a protection against counterfeit- ing and also as a means of identifying stolen stamps Spain employs a set of serial numbers. The postoffce depart- ment keeps a List ot the numbers on the backs of the stamps shipped to every postoflice, so that if one of these is robbed the authorities know and can identify, if found, tbe stolen stamps by tbe numbers they bear. Thirdly, we consider those stamps where the printing on the backs was intentional, but placed tbere for other reasons than to prevent counterfeiting. In some respects these are the most in- teresting of all. We wish to call at- tention to threespecial instances. Por- tugal in 1895 issued a series of stamps commemorative of the seven hun- dredth anniversary of the birth of St. Anthony of Padua. Tbere are four designs in the series. But what inter- ests ns in this connection is the curi- ous fact that upon the back of each stamp there is printed in tiny blue letters a Latin prayer. This series was also surcharged for use in the Azores. When we study Nicaragua we a>ie• bewildered by the multiplicity of sur- charges, especially after about 1901ae But in 1911 matterscame' to a ver; bad pass.

BURMA'S COLOSSAL BUDDHA. This Statue Is Said to Be the Largest In the World. The largest monument of the human form existing in the east today, if not in the world, is tale great reclining; statue of Buddha near Pegue in Bins ma, around which the government" erected a building with lattice steel pillars to:protect;it: fromitt>e•eleMenta:: This colossus was brought•to light din- ing the construction of tbe railway that runs northeast from Rangoon to Mandalay. While the permanent way was being banked up to protect the lines from occasional floods the engineer in charge required for the purpose of his work a harder ballast than the alluvial de- posit over which the line was running could give him. Less than a mile away . was a tree clad mound, and here, it was thought, suitable material might be found. The task of clearing away some of the trees took but an flour or so, and then shafts were sunk to find the needed stone. Before the diggers had gone down more than a yard they struck an enormous and fairly pre- served figure of Gautama. In actual length the statue Is 180 feet and fifty feet high at the shoul- der. The figure and its pedestal are of brick, covered with plaster. Since its discovery the plaster has been re- moved and painted over, the box at the head and the finger nails gilded and the headdress decorated with glass jewels. The statue is thought to be about 500 years old, but no one knows its history, no reference what- ever being made to it in Burmese leg- ends or traditions.—Wide World Mag- azine. One Way Out. Despite his illiteracy Mose Belt has gathered quite a competency from his whitewashing and kalsomining trade. Recently during the course of some business with a notary the latter pro- duced a document, saying: "Sign your name here, Mose." "Look heah," said Mose, with of- fended dignity, "I doesn't sign mals name, suh. I's a business man, suh, an' has no time for dem trifling de- tails. I always dictates naah name, suh." Equality. "No such thing as stuckuppishness about ber," says the loyal servitor, de- fending his mistress against the crit- icisms of the acquaintance who is in- veighing against class discrimination and the attitude of the wealthy to- ward the working element. "Well, but don't she order you around?" "Sure she does! She bawls me out just the same as what she does her husband. She don't make no differ- ence between me an' him even. Linea. Railroads, poems, plays, drawings, thougbtful brows, palms of hands and geometry are made up of lines. Lines sometimes have a president and a board of directors, and presi- dents and boards of directors usually have lines. The care of lines produces lines of care. Fishes and sentimental young ladies are frequently caught with lines. _Poets formerly were much given to inditing certain lines to young ladies, but the modern lady who desires cer- tain Lines usually goes to a modiste. A man who gets a line on other peo- ple is either a profligate son, a detec- tite or a tattoo artist. Ruddy 'Mare.
