The Raving Of a Lunatio.
EIlentucklan Crtizcn.l

For the benefit of few uDacquaint-
ed with the facts we desire to say a
word in regard to the wholesale de-
nunciation of our people in a sheet
called the Blue Grass Blade.
1t is with sorrow and comuiseration
that we refer at all to its editor. He
has been an inmate of the I.uuatic
Asylum and should be have "a FREUD,
or friedsls, for their own reputation
and for his sake, they should see that
he be returned Immediately to that in
stitution.
Dementia assumes many forms.
This poor fellow once attempted to
preach and to become a Christian
preacher. He is grandson of tho be-
loved and venerated B. w. Stone, one
of the movers of the Reformation, who
lies buried at old Cane Ridge, and
among tho people that this poor man
so fiercely dcnounces.
Infidelity, lunacy and the great
cause of temperance do not 90 well to-
gether. Every precinct III Bourbon
county save one has local option laws
and favor and work for temperance.
Paris is the only precinct in Bourbon
county without temperance laws: and
we made magnificent fight e,e a
few years ago for Local Option, but
were out voted, as the friends of
temperance generally are in the larger
towns and cities.
The spleen and idiocy of this man
seems to be directed against the
Christian church and its pastor, j. S.
Sweeney.
Possibly of the 1900 members of
the Christian church in Paris, there
is not to be found in this broad COM
monWcalth, or elsewhere, a more
united, devoted, moral and religious
body of people. They are noted for
their generosity, hospitality, refine
ment and culture; the church in Pari,
gave $4,000 to the cause of education
(Keptucky University III the adj
Jolt lg city of Lexington, more than
any other one church in Kentucky.
AS to Elder sweeneyit is enough
to say that his people for whom he
has preached almost the fourth of a
century are satisfied with him.
During The twenty-thfee years lhat
he has been preaching the glorious
gospel of Christ here, with a power
and elequence and pathos rarely
equaled, he has never repeated a single
sermon.
He breaches for the restoration of
New Testament Christianity and for
the union Of all Gods people in the
greatest cause in all this universe
impressing upon his hearers that their
lof,iest ambition and aspirations
should be for virSuous life, and a
glorious and blissful Immortality.
If the editor referred to above could
i'll his more lucid intervals visit the
grave Of his great ancestor it would
in all probability do him much
good.

Mr.. Frank Huffman, young man
of Burlington, Ohio, states that he had
been under the care of two prominent

until he was not able to get around.
They pronounced his case to be con-
sumption and incurablc. He was
persuaded TO try DR.. Kings New Dis
covcry for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds and at that time was not able to
walk across the street without resting.

Francis w. Egan, son of Patrick
Egan, Minister to Chill, is agent for
the American Construction Company,
an organization formed under the
laws Of Kentucky, which has claim
against the Gillian Government for
some $7,500,000. The company it
seems, in 1889, undertook to build,
under contract with the Gillian Gov
ernment, system of railways, The
work was prosecuted to considera-
BILE extent without any money having
been paid, and finally Balmaceda con-
fiscated the entire work. Thus arises
the claim, though the present goyetA
ment refuses to recognize it.

The servants of a Russian hotel are gen.
orally men. They have livery, and the
porters aud the messengers 90 about with
curiouslv shaped caps on their heads and
their pantaloons stuffed in their boots The
feathers in their caps indicate their different
ranks and they all wear long coats, which in
some cases are belted in at the waist. The
porter of the hotel, who is the interpreter
and head of the information bureau, is
dressed as gorgeously as a drum major, and
his coat always sparkles with gold lace. You
always find him about the door of hotel,
and the hotels here have no Offices nor
lobbes such as we have.
Keeping Accounts With Buttons and Strings.
There are no cigar stands, news depots
and telegraph Offices connected with the
hotel, and the bureau or the counting room
of an establishments like this makes YOU
think of that of a mercantile house. The
bookkeepers work behind glass partitions
and they keep large set of books They
do their counting with buttons strung on
wires, Just as The Chinese dc, and this
means OF calculation is found in every bu 81
ness house in Russia. In 'front.' of this hotel
there are aiways about 80 droschskv men,
and the moment you go out these drive up
10 the curbstone and besiege you to ride
They jabber at you in Russian and continue
to do so until YOU have taken one of them.

DICE THROWING In ROME


Clever Devices Used to Prevent Fraud In
the Ancient Game.
North American Review.l
The number of dice used was three, being
marked with minimum of one and q max
mum of six spots The most fortunate throw,
called venereus by Cicero (de Divln.1, 13),
and basilicus by Plautus (Curculio, IL, 8,
79), was when the dice showed three ssniones
or 18 spots. The progress of the game was
marked on the board by the movement of
the men QatrunculD backward and for
ward. The gravity of the losses depended
naturally upon the amount of money at
stake and the fines that were paid when
the dice showed one or more aces
1t is difficult to explain what skill had to
do with such a game, still Isidorus de-
scribes how inveterate gamblers could sue
coed in throwing the six and avoiding the
unit. In grafito at Pompeii an honest
player congratulates himself for having
gained good sum of money without fraud.
Plautns dwells sometimes on the dishonest
practices, to avoid which several instru-
ments we're invented from time to time,
such as the horn (pyxis cornea) and the
fritilfus.
1t seems, however, that these instru-
ments did not always fulfill their purpose.
A third one was invented, in the shape
of tower, with spiral staircase inside
and q funnel on the top. The dice shaken
first in the horn, or in the fritillus, were
thrown into the funnel and rolled down the
spiral staircase until they landed on the
table. Such precautions rendered cheating
almost impossible.

baths There are few bath rooms connected
with the hotels, and the Russian usually
takes his bath outside at the public bath
house, where he can be steamed, parbciled
and rubbed down. There is lack of water
in the hotel rooms, and the Russian wash
stand is q thing of itself 1t is a sort of
box-shaped article, with q basin in the top
and reservoir RAINING up at the back, into
which the water is poured by the servants
Out Of this reservoir there is brass pipe to
let the water into the basin. 1t was long
time before I could find how to turn the wa
ter into this pipe. There was no cock and
no screw, but finally found little pedal
at the foot of the washstand, and by put
ting my foot upon this found that the water
spurted out into the basin. 1t stopped flow.
ing, however, as soon As took nv foot of,
and the result was that used but very lit
tie water. The Russians do not fill basin
full OF water and wash in it They catch
the water as it falls from the spigot and rub
1t over their faces then get another squirt
Of handful orso and use it in the same
way, and go on thus until they have fin
ished their toilet A half pint of water is
thus enough for the Russian face wash

ATypical Dinner in Russia.
A Russian dinner is rather a curious
affair and swell dinner lasts for hours
The first thing you take is an appetizer and
this consists of vodka, Russian brandy,
together with such relishes as caviare, raw
herring, smoked salmon, raw smoked goose,
radishes, butter and cheese. This Law out
is on counter at one end of q restaurant
and you usually stand up to eat it before
taking your seat at the table for the regular
dinner The first part of the dinner is soup,
and dish of Russian soup is dinner BY
ITSELF The most popular, perhaps, is
known as stchee, which is made of cabbage
and beef, and in the midst of each plate of
which a big hunk of beef floats. Sour
cream is often added to the soup and you
get gravy dish of cream for kind of a
sauce at the first of every dinner The colt
soups are much liked by the Russians and I
ordered one to-day without knowing what
1t was. 1t had a creamy color, but there
was in the cen er of it piece OF ice as big
as my fist and there were pieces of cucuni-
Der, herring and meat floating around in 1t.
l tasted it and it made me think OF boiled
beef served with ice, and the taste was
enough, Some of the soups were very good
and one order for soup is always enough for
two.
The fish that find here are excellent and
there is disn called solianka made of fish
and cabbage which is not at all bad. An
other is sucking pig boiled and served
cold, and another favorite dish is roast NUT
ton stuffed with buckwheat The Russians
have excellent meats and you will get as
good beet and mutton here as anywhere in
