CHESS AND FREEMASONRY .
The solution of the problem , " The Lodge , " published in our last issue is , B taker , Q Kfc P and White makes next move . The New York Sunday Timis , from which is extracted the problem of which tbe above is asolntion , says : — "It is seldom we see a set fignre like this where all the pieces are
brought into play bv possible variations in tho movent of Black . The only exception is Black Piwn afc K Kfc 3 , as the Black Pawn at Kt 6 offers a feint for the Queen . The Black King can only move to his Q 4 and no further , as all the rest of the squares are guarded . Bh-v-k Kfc afc its Gth square prevents double solution of B to K 4 . Qneen plays to Q B 5 or 6 , or K 5 , according to Black's choice of moves .
Bro . Thos . Frances , of Savant , who is a recognised Master of the game of Chess , has sent U 3 the correct solution of tho Problem ; he remarks it is " peculiar for the rectangular form of the Pawns and pieces . Tbe solntion is an easy task . " We agree with our esteemed
brother , and may remind him that in " figure" Problems difficulty has often to be sacrificed to " form . " We shall be pleased to bear from him or other Chess playprs in regard to any novelties they may evolve which may bear relation , however distant , to Freemasonry .
LEISURE HOURS IN THE LODGE . —Gnnd Master Bankhead , of Alabama , thinks , when th'To ia no vvnik . Masters should employ the timoin reading aloud fr mi the Constitutions find Proceedings of the Grand Lodge , and inviting debate thereupon . Grand Master Davidson , of Georgia , thinks " the social element of Free ma-ion ry is too often
disregarded . The routine work , of ennrse , should not , and need not , be neglected . But wh » -n that has been performed , there is always ample opportunity for the display of those friendly and social characteristics from which innocent pleasures flow , and which redound to the well-being of the membership .

A CAUTIOUS MAN . —He was a mathematical fellow , and always engaged in making intricate calculations on paper . The marrage was to take place on Friday , but he suggested to his prospective mother-in-law that it had better take p ! > co on Thnrsdnr . " Whv do
