now Lithuaninnn rInr Dice.

A peculiar dice game is INDUCED in
by the gambling element of Lithua-
mans in Baltimore.
Gathering about the dice tables in
the saloons kept by their fellow coun-
trymen they quickly lose all interest in
everything outside Of that which is
transpiring upon the cloth before them.
AS they sit or stand about the tables
the careworn features of old men con-
trast strongly with the ruddy faces of
the youths. The eagerness with which
the players seek the numbers upon the
falling pieces is wolfish IN its intensity.
Comparatively small sums are placed
upon the game, and side bets run from
8 cents to 81.
Although resembling In tho manner
In which 1t is operated the high dice
game as played by the Anglo-SaxOn
races, the dice of the Llthuanlans, in
stead of numbering from 1 to @, run
from l TO 10, the numbering of
the six sides being /, 2, 3, 4, 8, 10. The
game is played with four pieces, and

which are very characteristic of her to this

Wilberforce on the authority of her former

describes vividly one of the most conspicu-
Gus and honorable features in the nature
OF the woman and the Queen, her straight
forward. unswerving honesty.

The other story Is told by Baroness Leh-

year as to the degree OF nearness In which
she stood TO the throne.
The scene was In the sunny upper room

ATTEMPTS ON HER LIFE,
MARROW ESCAPES FROM DEATH.

From her earliest years Victoria bore
what would have been called In days of oil I
"a charmed life" When she was but 6
months old at Sidmouth a boy shooting
sparrows sent a shot through the little
Princesss nursery window that narrowly
missed her baby head. In her thirteenth
year, when on a trip on the sea with the
Duchess OF Kent, she barely escaped death
by the falling OF topmast in a gale. She
was snatched from the spot Just a moment
before the accident by the pilot. Attempts
on her life by fools or fanatics occurred in
1sio. 1882. 1850. ls72 and fss2. but never did
she receive any bodily harm
The chief pleasure of the late years of
the Queens life have been her annual ex-
cursions to Scotland and her occasional Wis
its to Italy. Her trips across the channel
were always made in the old steamer Vic
foria and Albert. 1t was In this vessel that
the Queen and Prince consort made so
many happy cruises in the early days of
their married life.
A loyal Englishman would be unutterably
Mortified at the suggestion that the Queen
