Elks Remember Children.

Owosso Lodge of Elks celebrated
Christmas in a manner that made the
hearts of all those assisting and of one
hundred and sixty children glad and
made the day one to be marked in the
lives of many of the little folks.
At A p. m. the guests were taken to the
banquet hall where dinner was spread

bration plan, spoke of the pleasure it
had given from year to year. Each
child was then presented with doll OF

corn, etc. One behalf of the subscribers
to the Dorcas Home addition fund Geo.
T. Campbell presented the society with
$262 81 to apply on the cost of making
the Home larger and enough has now

the expense of the addition.
The lodge took advantage of the oc.
casion to reward one of the members
for his earnest efforts on behalf of the
lodge for years by giving life mem
bership to Charles Ellis, past exalted
ruler and secretary. In addition a
purse of one hundred dollars was given
him and purse of fifty dollars to Mrs
Ellis.

The Antiquity of Dice.
From Harper's weekly.

From Harpera Weekly.
Scholars have delved In vain for thu
origin Of dice, which, in various shapes,
have been used in forms OF worship
and religious ceremonies since the dawn
of history. Their earlier use was for
the ~forecasting of events and obtaining
Of divine guidance; their adaptation to
a game Of chance was, comparatively.
quite recent.
There is a surprising number Of varie-
ties Of dice, but they may be divided
into two general classes. The most
familiar form is the cube. With two
exceptions-the Korean and Etrusean-
cubical dice have the spots SO arranged
that the six n one, Ave and two, and
three n four are opposite, making
the sum of the opposite sides invariably
seven. In all ages the number seven
has been regarded with particular awe
and as having much mystic import.
The dice just described are not only
proper to modern Europe and America,
but to classical Greece and Rome, an
Gent Syria, Persia, India, China, Japan,
SIAM. The other form Is the lona
square prism sometimes found amid
prehistoric uin in Europe and exist
ing today in India.
A most interesting form is the top OF
spinning dice with tour or six sides,
which was twirled with the thumb and
second finger, of which q specimen was
discovered in the remain OF Naucratis.
a Greek colony of 600 b. G. Two speci-
mems of dice have been discovered at
Babylon.
