K-Q 2 and wins.

Solutions received from M. W. H., University of
Virginia, and the Rev G. Dobbs, New Orleans.

In addition to those reported, T. J. Merrifield,
St. Louis, got 566, and W. J. Leake, Richmond,
Va., 567.

Concerning 568.

Mr. Walter Pulitzer desires us to express his
sincere apology to THE LITERARY DIGEST solvers
for the incorrect setting of his last problem. The
B on K Kt 4 should be on Kt 2. The Chess-editor
has known Mr. Pulitzer for a number of years and
has examined many of his problems, and this is
the first blunder, of which we have knowledge,
Har-
recorded against the author of "Chess
monies."

Notes from The Standard, London.
Apart from having chosen the unsatisfactory
King's Fianchetto defense (the transposition of
1.., P-Q 3 making no difference), Black lost
several moves with the K B and Q Kt, which al-attractive aud convenient."
lowed Mason to commence a King's side demon-
stration without Castling. Mason, like Black-
burne in his game, gave up his two Bishops for
two Knights; but in this instance the case is dif-
ferent. Mason, being the attacking player, had a
definite object in view besidc -viz., to leave Black
with a weak Q P after 19.., P x B. Showalter
made an ingenious counter-demonstration on the
Queen's side, with the object of winning White's
KP; but in his advance of 31.., P-B 4 he was al-
lured by White's removing his R from Kt sq to K
sq.
This gave Mason a chance for a brilliant ter-
mination. He could also have won later on with You
38... Kt x P; but he saw the winning variation in
the text, which is brilliant enough. Black resigned,
for if 43.., K x R, then 44, Q-K 8 ch; and if 43..,
Q x R, then 44 Q x B, mate.

A Neat Ending.

The advance orders were very large, and already re-orders are coming in rapidly. The second most popular book was Tarry Thou Till I Come, by George Croly, and it is meeting with an exceptional sale."

TARRY THOU
TILL I COME

A Great Historical Romance
By GEORGE CROLY

20 Full-Page Drawings, Including a Beautiful Frontispiece in
Colors, by T. de Thulstrup

Among the Many Striking Testimonials Received in the Past Few Days Are the Following Hubert H. Bancroft, the celebrated historian: "It is sublime. It occupies a unique place; there is nothing else like it in literature. Such a book elevates and ennobles the whole realm of fiction, thus exercising a powerful influence for good."

[ocr errors]

Theo. W. Hunt, Ph.D., Professor of English language and literature in Princeton University : Parts of it remind me of the graphic pages of Victor Hugo in his Les Miserables' and Ninety-Three,' and parts of it of the scenic chapters of Sienkiewicz in his 'Quo Vadis.' Here and there one is reminded of our American Hawthorne."

[ocr errors]

Prof. II. W. Conn, Wesleyan University, Middleton, Conn.: "One of the great books of English fiction. A book of much higher character than the ordinary line of fiction, the reading of which can not fai. to be of great profit as well as entertainment."

John S. Crosby: "It is a remarkable work, Miltonic in execution, ranking in graphic description, dignity of style, and loftiness of theme with Paradise Lost, a wonderful blending of fancy and fact, a noble fiction almost surcharged with the sublimest truth. Its characters are as lifelike and real as Shakespeare's. The permanent value of the publication is of course greatly enhanced by the very appropriate, scholarly and instructive setting in which the title story is presented."

George C. Lorimer, D.D., Boston: "Permit me to congratulate the public in the reappearance of a volume so absorbing in itself, and so admirably and remarkably illustrated and printed. The story is of thrilling interest."

IN IN NO OTHER story have we so glowing and faithful a picture of that life in which Christ went to death, and the new Church took root, and the cataclasm in Jewish history came-the clash between Jew and Roman, in which the Jewish nation sank "as a continent sinks." "Tarry Thou Till I Come" is a historical novel of extraordinary power, covering the gap of 37 years from the crucifixion to the destruction of Jerusalem.

THE

HE great interest that the public has taken almost instinctively in this book is shown in many ways-this one is typical scores of people are writing us that the book is to be part of their "summer readings." Among those so writing are some of the best known men in America, as U. S. Senator Frye, of Massachusetts; Jacob H. Schiff, the banker, of New York; Judge Sulzberger, of the Judiciary of Philadelphia; Edward Everett Hale, of Boston; President Harper, of Chicago University.

HARD TO BREAK.

But the Coffee Habit can be Put Off.

"I was a coffee user from early childhood, but it finally made me so nervous that I spent a great many sleepless nights, starting at every sound I heard and suffering with a continual dull headache. My hands trembled and I was also troubled with shortness of breath and palpitation of the heart. The whole system showed a poisoned condition and I was told to leave off coffee, for that was the cause of it. I was unable to break myself of the habit until some one induced me to try Postum Food Coffee.

The first trial, the Food Coffee was flat and tasteless and I thought it was horrid stuff, but my friends urged me to try again and let it boil longer. This time I had a very delightful beverage and have been enjoying it ever since, and am now in a very greatly improved condition of health.

My brother is also using Postum instead of coffee, and a friend of ours, Mr. W., who was a great coffee user, found himself growing more and more nervous and was troubled at times with dizzy spells. His wife suffered with nausea and indigestion, also from coffee. They left it off and have been using Postum Food Coffee for some time and are now in a perfect condition of health." Grace C. M., Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.

Put a piece of butter in the pot, the size of two peas, to prevent boiling over.

Dr. W. H. Vail, of St. Louis, Mo., writes: "I was called to a patient suffering from Rheumatism in the lower limbs, which were very sore and stiff. He was nearly wild with pain when I arrived. This was the fourth attack he had had in the present yea.. I placed him at once on Tartarlithine, and in twenty-four hours the pain was markedly abated. Three days later the soreness had disappeared and he could make use of his limbs quite well. I ordered him to continue the treatment for ten days longer in order to prevent a relapse. He did so, and has had no recurrence of the trouble."
