CLASSICAL GAMBLING.
Games of Chance as Played by the An
clients.


Westminster Review.
Even the sober Jews, whose amusements
were for the most part song and music, occa-
sionally threw the dice, and brought on them
selves the denuncations Of the Talmudic
doctors. We have seen it stated that a Jew
who was convicted of dicing was not allowed
to give evidence (Which implied great degra-
dation), but we have not been able to find any
passage bearing the statement out either IN
the Pentateuch or Talmud, therefore we give
it for what 1t is worth.
Games of chance were prohibited by Mo-
hammed, and in the Koran were placed as Sins
In the same category as wine.drinking. He
rodotus tells us that the Egyptians were
dicers, but whether they wero gamblers Is
not stated. Their favorite game was one
played with draughtsmen, and there Is good
evidence TO believe that this Is, IL not the
most ancient game, at least one OF the most
ancient Dice were introduced perhaps In
much later times by the Romans. To the
Greeks belong the credit, or discredit, of being
the inventors of dice Tradition has 1t that
Palamades, who lived at the time of the Tro-
jan war, introduced them into Greece, and 1t
Is certain that the Greeks imported into Rome
the three most popular games. AS the au-
thorties on ga ming at Rome are numerous
and satisfactory, and as the Greek and Roman
games Of chance were IDENTICAL we shall deal
with the subject at length when we come to
touch on Rome. Suffice 1t to say that the
kubos and astragalos were the exact proto-
types of and similar to the tessera and talus.
The rules of the game were the same, but
tho Greeks never used more than three dice.
The highest throw, "Venus," OF the Romans,
was the Aphrodite of the Greeks-canis, the
kuon of the Greeks. AS in Rome, the game
depended on combinations, but when numbers
only were desired, the Greeks termed 1t Pleis-
tobolinda, as did the Romans, who adopted
Greek terms-compAre ecarte, rouge ct noir
The mixed game of chance and skill resem-
bling our backgammon WAS played In both
countries, but the Greek name for 1t is not
clear; the tabula lusoria and the plintheon
were games for the same ruled board; which
answers in some degree to our backgammon
board.

The vote on the proposition to ex-

the pulp mill is only an expression of
the voters as to whether they are in
favor of granting such aid, providing
a mill is started with 100000 capital
stock. In case the mill shall be built
the aid itself will be granted, if at all,
under a contract to be entered into
hereafter between the common council
and the pulp mill company; and the
common council can surely be relied
on to see that the rights and interests
of the city are fully protected in the
