A Startling Disclosure.

From the New York Mercury.
The following story is told about the editor of
one of Maines most prominent dailies:
''When a small boy his father, now one of the
most prominent men in the State, was running
Il printing office and publishing a weekly paper
in one of the largest towns in Kennebec County.
One day the advance agent of a show came
along and ordered some posters printed upon
cotton cloth. His order was filed, but for
some reason he neglected to call for them and
they were thus left on the printers hands The
printers wife ran across them, and as cloth was
then high she took the cloth home and used it
to line pair Of pants she was then making for
the editor above mentioned, then a boy about
ten years of age. AS the months rolled by the
pantaloons grew threadbare, and at school one
day he accidentally tore the seat out, leaving
about one foot of the lining exposed to view.
This in itself would have made the boys smile,
but they laughed till the tears came when they
observed the following words standing out
| boldly upon the lining in large type: Doors
open at 7;30 Performance begins at s. 1t is
needless to state that the boy was sent home to

GILDED CLEAR THROUGH.
Young Men of Classic Antiquity and Their
Habits.

From Texas Siftings.
The term ''gilded youth is as old as the
latter days of the Roman republic, and was
favorite phrase early in the empire. 1t could
be traced in Greece to the age of Alcibiades,
who was perhaps the most famous specimen of
his class in all antiquity. The gilded youth
who hourished in Rome during the reign of
Augustus were the antitypes of modern Europe
and young America.
When the wealthy young Roman arose in
the morning he went at once to the therm@,
the hot baths which for magnifcence, luxury,
and size have never been equaled. This estab-
lishment was upon so vasta scale that it formed
a village almost in itself. The halls where the
brilliant trifers lounged were spacious. They
were decorated with statues and engravings.
Above them were apartments for every magma
BILE comfort. In the refectories were delicate
viands, from nightngales' tongues sent from
afar to turbot from the Adriatic and oysters
from Britain, washed down with all the de-
licious wines of Italy, Sicily, and Greece.
The Romans We're as fond of the game of
ball. tossed from hand to hand, with many
complicated rules, as the English are of cricket
or Americans of base ball For this there was
ample accommodation within the walls IN large
halls specially set apart for the players, and by
this exercise and other gymnastics, young and
old alike preserved their health and strength,
and what many of them valued even more
highly, their appetite
The bath, which was most elaborate affair,
was often taken three or four times day.
The final stage was the amounting with aro-
matte oil and robing the body with the most
loosely fitting raiment of the softest and costli-
est fabrics. The gilded exquisite, then gar
landed with chaplet of flowers, was ready
either to dream away the hours on the most
luxurious couches, to play-and gambling ran
very high-or TO indulge in any of the other
amusements of the place. One of these was
listening to the recitations of poets or the com
positions and discussions of the sophists ol
philosophers, most of whom were immigrants
from Greece. A number of the young mer
wrote verse and prose of their own and assem-
bled all their friends together to hear then
read, and if they were very rich and very liberia
in dining and wining they had hosts of sympa
thetc auditors. Then followed visits to thu
schools where gladiators were trained, layin!
bets on their favorites, and to taverns wher
rotous nights were passed, making still NOR
imperative the refreshment of the next morn
