ANCIENT DICE.

shown In Collection Illustrating Old
Grecian Life.
A new departure has just been
achieved in the Greco-Roman depart
ment at the British Museum by the in
stallation of a collection Of objects IL
Illustrating the home life and training
of children in Greece and the Roman
empire, as also of their colonies. By
its means one may range over 1000
years Of work and play in half an hour,
from early Hellas to the decline of
Rome.
The earliest Greek specimens COM
prise archaic dolls and toys, the latter
including an earthenware rattle rough
ly oval. The skilled workers of Ephe-
sus in a later age contribute dolls in
alabaster and plaster with beautifully
chased features. The dolls house was
evidently as popular in classic days as
in the present, for there are a number
Of models for its furnishing in bronze
or glazed earthenware, chairs, stands,
and kitchens. The circular disks or
tokens, engraved with rams heads,
fowls, rats, or flies, and formerly sup
posed to have been vouchers for seats
at theater or amphitheater, are here in
abundance. These are now claSSed as
counters for games; and there are 9th
ers in bone and crystal inscribed with
Greek and Latin legends. Knucklebones
go back likewise to remote antiquity;
they are made Of bronze or chalcedOny,
and clever artifcers with a comic vein
shaped them from such forms as a
satyr or a dwarf, still preserving the
old shape as far as practicable.
The pastimes Of children Of a larger
growth" are suggested by those inven-
tions Of Palamedes-dice. These made
of ivory, bone, or closes grained wood,
show the same disposition Of numbers
as our own, the points or opposite sides
summing seven. Adjacent to these is
a nondescript article In the form Of a
twenty sided model some three inches
in length, and evidently used In some
game. From Cologne come painters
palettes, with a large cake Of ultra
marine pigment; from Fay-yum, a
large portrait akin to those painted on
mummy cases Of the later period, and
two beautiful panels about three by
four inches In dimensions, also six sau-
GERS containing various pigments.

The old gentleman turned in his
chair saying briskly:
Yes, sir. What Is your business

Then, as his eyes fell on Tom, he
smiled, and added, kindly:
well, my boy, what do you want
Come to take some stock In the new
road?"
Tom realized that he was being quiz
zed, and it drove away all his embar-
rassment. He drew himself up, and
said, in his deliberate way:

The Colonel stared, then broke into a
hearty laugh.
Tom stood motionless, and, as the
man saw the deep flush creep into the
lads face, he said, good-naturedly
You do7 Well, suppose you would
be willing to sell your valuable knowl-
edge. Here is a dime. Is 1t worth any
more than that?"
Tom took no notice of the ColonePs
outstretched hand, but began searching
his pockets.
Then he drew out a folded paper
which evidently had been handled I'm
til 1t was far from clean.
There was a little table at the Colo
nel's elbow; upon this the boy spread
out what the Colonel saw at once was
a rough map Of the locality.
This line laid out last summer Is
here" explained Tom, pointing to a
broad mark across the paper.
Yes, yes" replied Colonel Thornton,

BOY LIVED ON CIGARETTES.

Smoked for Two Days and Then Fell
SenseIess.
Having smoked nine packages Of
cigarettes in two days and being with
out food and sleep for three, Harry
Reynolds, a 14-year-old boy, fell I'M
conscious under a street lunch wagon
in South Norwalk, Conn. When taken
to the City Hospital his body was cold
and for a time it seemed that he would
not revive.
II knew those cigarettes would put
me on the bu1n," were the boys first
words on regaining strength and
realization Of his surroundings He
said that he had paid five cents each
for the packages, each Of which con-
tanned twenty cigarettes, making 100
cigarettes In the two days. He told
DR.. J. Milton Coburn that he had
begged and borrowed money in the
streets for the cigarettes, without know
ing why, as the smoke made him Ill.
The doctors say 1t Is probable that the
drugs IN the cheap tobacco affected his
mind, for he had emerged from Sc
cluded spots during the three days he
was away from home, only to borrow
money or to buy cigarettes. He had
tried to mount the lunch wagon and
fell. head downward, and became
vedged between a wheel and a fence.
1t Is probable that he had hung there
several hours before he was found. Now
that the boy Is out of danger, he Is in
tensely ashamed Of himself for his CT
gazette "spree."

Fort Dodge, March 19-Charles
Green. residing at 1902 Second avenue
south, reported to the police this NOR
ming the disappearance of his wife,
Rose Green, and has asked that she be
arrested on the charge Iof adultery.
Mrs. Green is alleged to have been a
frequenter of Friday night DANCES,
which have been held in the city at
the C. A. r. hall by dancing club of
the saloon porters, bartenders and SER
want girls of the city. and which have
been rather loosely conducted of late.
After the dance last Friday evening
she failed to return to her home until
well along toward morning, and her
husband had gone to his work. In
quiries developed the fact that she
had spent the night in the company
a hack driver for the Newberyy hack
line, and her husband demonstrated
with her.
Mrs. Green is a handsome young
woman about % years of age, weigh
ing about N25 pounds. dark complex
ioned and about 5 feet and 4 inches in
height, has dark hair. and a hair mole
on the face just at the side of the
nose. When last seen she wore a
green hat brown skirt, green waist
and dark coat with cape attached.
She has always borne a good reputa
ton until taking in the Friday night
dances. and to these are ascribed her
alleged downfall. Her husband has
sworn out warrant ON the charge
Of adultery, and says he will prose-
cute her to the full extent Of the law
if she is arrested. altho she has re-
Gently made the claim she is not law
fully married to him. as she had never
been divorced from her first husband.
Should this prove true. IL arrested, she
will be forced to stand trial on a
charge Of bigamy.
