ANCIENT DICE THROWING.

A Favorite Form Of Gambling Among
the OLD Romans.
The number of dice used was three,
being marked with a minimum of one
and q maximum of six spots. The
most fortunate throw called venereus
by Cicero (de Divin., l., 1877 and basili-
~ by Plautus, (Curculio, IL. 8. 49,
was when the dice showed three
seniones, or eighteen spots. The prog
ress of the game was marked on the
board by the movement of the men
Qatrunculi) backward and forward.
The gravity of the losses depended
naturally upon the mount of money
at stake and the fines that were paid
when the dice showed N or more
ices.
1t is difficult to explain what skill
had to do with such a game, still Isl
dorus describes how invcterate gamb-
lers could succeed in throwing the six
and in avoiding the unit. l suspect
that this skill was not always in
nocent, and that a heavy particle OF
lead was perhaps concealed on the side
of the unit. In a g~rafito at Pompeli an
honest player congratulates himself for
having gained a good Jul of money
without fraud. Plautus dwells some.
times on these dishonest practices, to
avoid which several instruments were
invented from time to time, such as the
horn (pyxis ~cornea) and the fritillus. 1t
seems, however. that these instruments
did not always fulfill their purpose. A
third one was consequently invented,
in the shape of a tower, with a spiral
staircase inside and a 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 cheat
ing almost impossible.-Lanciani, in
North American Review.

In 1860 I commenced to grow sweet

send to Cincinnati for seed. As seed in
the spring was always dear, / tried to
rave my own seed l tried In various
ways, packing them in boxes and
barrels. some in sand, some in sawdust
and shavings, but had no success.
Some would heat and some would
chill; l could not hit upon the right
temperature, so l concluded % build a
potato house for keeping sweet potatoes
for seed.

up off the ground the same as a corn

to have a circulation Of air under It; /
built it double. used 2x4 studding for

lathed and plastered: this left me 4
inches of space behind the plaster,
making the sides about 10 inches thick.

Some of the Things that Are In Vogue
with Stylish Ladies'.
The Alsacian bow is feature of some
of the seasons millinery.
Narrow leather makes very attractive
trimming for cloth dresses.
Little, peaked, sugar-loaf crowns are
seen on many of the newest hats.
There are more feathers than flowers
on imported French hats and bonnets.
Narrow velvet and little pussy-cat
bows are seen on many of the summer
costumes of light material.
Sleeves are very long, extending
slightly over the hands. With these
sleeves n might easily wear two-but-
ton gloves.
One of the dainty fads in footwear is
a black velvet slipper wrought with jet.
For dressy veal, slippers of blue, green
or ~gold-colored are used, and these are
embroidered in jet, green, black or
other dark ~colors, and may have gold
bead embroidery.
A novel and pretty tea-gown is made
of brocade and plain silk. The trained
skirt and the sides and back of the
waist are of brocade. This is cut away
on the shoulder, leaving space for the
point of plain material, which extends
up to the collar and shoulder seams, is
gathered in at the waist line by a belt
of velvet and falls in full folds to the
hem of the skirt. This plain front is
outlined with cascades of handsome
lace; the sleeves are of lace with vel
vet bands around the arms above the
elbows.-N. Y. Ledger.

PIGMENT is held in one hand and swung
so the teeth forming the bottom will
catch the heads Of grass. BY this means
the seed is stripped off and remains in
the box, and when full it is emptied
and the operation repeated. Fig. ?
shows the bottom on a larger scale.
The teeth should be Of steel and fast
ened with screws. After the seed is
gathered it is placed in a shed to thor
oughly dry, after which the chaf is re-
moved with a fail, tramping or some
such method. Or the seed may be
placed on a scaffold, exposed to sui
and rain, which will cause the chaff to
be more easily separated. Where only
q small quantity of seed is wanted the
blue grass may be moved with a scythe
moving machine and given the same
as noted above.-Orange

Hot Weather Maxims.

Fat people really suffer less with the
heat than thin people. There is this
compensation in carrying a great
weight of flesh. He that is too fat
even for comfort can reflect that he is
able to withstand both heat and cold
better than if he was like CasSius, lean
and unsavory. These people take cold
easily. They suffer in warm weather
first from the heat iaEthe day time and
then by getting chi lat night they
bring upon themselves malaria and
suffer really from cold. There is show
ever a remedy. Let them take REDS
GERMAN COUGH & KIDNEY
CURE. This great remedy acts upon
all of the excretory organs and thus
enables the system to throw off the
waste material that if left in the blood,
poisons it. This is the only cough
remedy in the world that ministers to
the excretory system and thus reno
Yates the whole system. Ask your
dealer for it and if he will not order it
for you write to us and we will send it
to you.

Mournfui Confessions OF One OF Cupid's
Bashful Victims.
MY present.suit and service is paid to
q certain lady, who is as fearful of re-
ceiving any token of my affections as 1
am of offering them / am only per-
mitted to admire her at a distance;
an ogle or a leer are all the advances
| dare make; if l love but a finger it
puts her all in a sweat; and, like the
sensitive plant, she would shrink and
die away at a touch = = / also
once plucked up courage sufficient to
attempt squeezing her by tine hand,
but she resisted my attack by so
close a touch of her fist that my grasp
vas presented with nothing but sharp
pointed knuckles and a long thumb
nail, and 1 was directly after saluted
with q violent stroke on my jawbone.
If I walk out with her, I use all my en-
deavors to keep close to her side, but
she whisks away from me rs though 1
had some catching distemper about
me. In short, sir, l begin to
despair of ever coming in close contact
with her. But, what is still more pro-
voking. though she keeps me at SO re-
spectful a distance, she tamely permits
a strapping fellow of the guards to pat
her On the cheer, play with her hand,
and even approach her lips, and that,
too, in my presence.-Bonnel Thornton.

A Rat-Proof Corn House.

The cats go in and out of my corn
house regularly, but rats cannot This
house was built in the ordinary way,
except pieces of plank were nailed on
the inner side of the sills between the
sleepers on the sides and the outer
sleepers laid to touch the end sills- The
spaces thus made were filed even full
with mortar mixed with brickbats,
billets of wood and oyster shells The
floor vas then laid TO extend out even
with the weather boarding. The house
was left open under the ave for ven
tilation- I soon found hat the rats
climbed up IN the sides of the house
and went in under the eaves. To rem
edy this / nailed a strip of zin1 eight
inches wide all around the house, over
the door and about q foot lower than
the opening under the caves This
stopped the rats effectually.-J. B. Don.

A Novel Burglar Alarm.

I had gone to spend a few days with
q friend in the country, and, woman
like, we sat up rather late the first
evening, talking. The servants had
retired to the upper regions, and just
as we were about to separate / was
surprised to see my friend take up two
large newspapers with the remark: 81
must go and set my burglar alarm for
the night" Wondering what the papers
could have to do with it / followed her
and watched her spread one on the
stairs and another across the hall floor.
Nov we IA sleep in peace; nc one
could either jump over or walk over
those newspapers without making a
noise, Tor could they yer attempt to
fold them up without rousing the
house. 1t may not seem a very safe
trap, but when everything is still the
crisp rustic of paper is quite sufficient
to awaken me. l have shut up the cat,
so that there can be no false alarm"
she concluded, and after having walked
two or three times across the news
papers l was quite satisfied that the
idea was not half bad.-St. Louis

SWEET POTATO sToREHoUsE-

with sliding sash. Also a vent hole up
through the roof. with a slide at the
bottom TO regulate the draft This was
a box tube 4 inches square, with a zap
on the top to keep out the rain. The
door was made the same as the sides
and fitted tight.
Inside Of this house l built a bin AZ
feet from the floor and the size of the
inside, lacking 2 feet space around
three sides and 3 feet space along the
front of the door. This gives room to
get around the bin. The sides of the
bin are movable, to accommodate the
depth to the amount of potatoes to bs
put in.
After the potatoes are all in the bin,
] let them sweat awhile, and TO help
dry them out, I put two lighted lamps
(bracket lamps, such as they use il
stores, for coal OILY. These l put under
the bin and let them STAY eight or
ten days, shifting their position every
day; then ] take them from under the
bin and put them in the corner of the
two-foot space, one in each opposite
corner, so as to equalize the heat
through the room, changing the lamps
to the other corners every day. When
the potatoes are done sweating, /
them over with mosquito netting;
upon this ] put three inches of sawdust
or cut straw. This is left on until the
potatoes are taken out in the spring.
] hang Il thermometer inside, on a
level with the top of the bin, changing
its position to watch the temperature
and keep it even. The temperature
must be kept at A. degrees as near as
possible; it must not range below 40
degrees nor above so degrees. If the
room gets toe warm, put out a lamp;
if too cold, add another lamp. 1t is
very easy to regulate the temperature
with lamps. 1 set the lamps in crooks,
so rs to be safe in case of accident.
The lamps l trim and fill night and
morning. There is no sitting up nights
to fire up; the large-sized lamps will
burn all night.
Since / adopted this plan | have lost
only about 10 per cent. in rot and
shrinkage; mostly shrinkagc. l tried
many ways before ! hit upon this plan.
The main thing is to have n dry room
and even temperature. When it is
very cold outside l shut the oom up
tight. A bin in a room this size will
hold from $50 to 200 bushels. I save
the medium-sized potatoes for seed
and sell the largest.--Farm and Fire.
