ANTIQUITY OF DICE
Origin of Theso Devices Buried In he
Remote Past
Scholars have delved in uiln for the
origin of dice which in vunoiw
shapes have been used iu tonus of
worship and religious ceremonies since
the dawn of history Their earlier use
was for the lorecastiug or evvnisxi
obtaining of divine guidance Their
adaptation to a game or chance was
comparatively finite recent
There Is a surprising nuinlier or
varieties of dice bin they may he di
vided Into two general classes The
most familiar form is the cube With
two exceptlons the Korean anu
dice have the spots so ar
ranged that the six and one live and
two and three and four are opposite
milking the sum or the opposite sides
invariably seven lu all ages the num
ber seven has been regarded with par
ticular awe and as having much mys
tic import
The dice just described are not only
proper to modern Europe and Amer
ica but to classical Greece and Komi
ancient Syria Persia India China
Japan and Siam The other form is
the long square prism sometime
found amid prehistoric ruins in Europe
and existing today in India
A most interesting form Is the top
or spinning dice with four or six
sides which was twirled with the
thumb and second linger or which a
specimen was discovered in ttie re
mains of Naucratis a Greek colony of
GOO B C Two specimens ot dice hav
been discovered at Babylon Harpers

AN ARCTIC RESCUE
Feeling When the Relief
Ship
Came Into View
Very often during the mouths of
daylight we stood on the cliff straining
our eyes to see the louged for relief
ship As the summer of 1905 slipped
on we almost despaired but one day
in July when hope had almost aban
doned us we saw oue of the boys
jumping up and down and supposed
that at last his brain had giveu way
under the strain Iu fact many of us
were almost crazy with the monotony
and anxiety that wore upon us day
after day We watched a moment and
wondered which of us would be the
next to go off his balance
When we went to him and saw what
he saw the long looked for relief blnp
I dont know whether we all jumped
for joy or what we did for we hav
no memory of our actions in that hour
Quickly each man gathered his little
kit ready to rush to the boats aud
leave forever that island where death
had stared us iu the face for sixteen
mouths and where we had almost
given up all hope of ever again look
ing upon the faces of our loved ones
In our frantic haste to be gone many
of us left behind relics and records
which we prized and later regretted
the loss of At the end of sixteen
months the relief ship Terra Nova had
arrived and we steamed to Norway
where our party divided some going
to London and others to Germany

A mother who had only one c hild a
son lost him through an accident by
drowning when he was seventeen II is
body was washed out to sea and never
recovered She very much wanted i
portrait ot him and she called a fa
mous artist who was a friend of the
family De asked for every photo
graph she had of her son from baby
hood onward When the- painting ar
rived it represented a glade iu a wood
Playing about were five little children
of various ages but all the same boy

ing down the center joyous gay was
the seventeen-year-old lad leading his
baby self of one year by the hand
The mother looked at the picture aud

Stealing Sea Water
They arrested me in Italy for steal
ing a bucket of water out of the sea
The reporter laughed He -thought
that the tourist on the pier was jok

Its a fact You cant draw water
out of the Italian seas without a per

very heavily taxed in Italy Its a
government monopoly You buy it only
in the government tobacco shops a

the government wont let you monkey
with sea water lest you extract the
salt from it

MUSICAL MISERY
When Bagpipes Squeak Out The Star
Spangled Banner
I wish growled a man who made
a tour of the llittish isles that the
British bandmasters would take a
course of instruction in what consti
tutes the American national airs Baud
concerts are the rage all over England
Ireland Scotland aud Wales During
the summer season probably as a
compliment to the hordes ot Ameri
cans who are tiiiiging away gold for
their beiielit the present daily what
is generally duhhed American naiion
al nirs
The majority of these bandmaster
think Dixie N the national an he
cause they sagely observe it is the
only oue which Americans applaud
Tlie Star Spangled Banner is dismal
and lugubrious enough under the best
of circumstances but to hear the
Scotch bagpipes have a ling at it is
indescribable misery The man who
wrote the Columbia hymn would not
know his own work as pertormed in
Great Britain and even the Kentucky
Home and other negro ballads get a
touch between an Irish jig and a
Scotch wail which robs the American
visitor of any pleasure which he might
experience in hearing songs Irom
home It may be thnt British Scotch
and Irish guests on this side of the
water get as much discomfort in hear
ing Annie Laurie I hope they do
for it would establish a sort ot inter
national musical balance New York

SLEEP SUPERSTITIONS
How to Awaken at Any Hour You May
Designate
Sleep
trouble
is the best cure for waking
Hours for sleep
Nature gives five
Custom seven
Weariness takes nine
Laziness eleven
If you wish to arise at a certain
hour before going to bed make with
your right foot as man marks on the
Moor as the hour on which you wish
to wake then go to bed backward
To insure happy dreams burn some
hazelnuts aud do the ashes up in a
package which you must place be
neath your pillow You will then dream
sweetly
If you wish ever to marry never
look under the bed
If a person talks in his sleep put his
hand in a bowl of water and he will
tell you all his secrets
The Hindoos say it is bad luck to
sleep with your head to the north but
sleeping with your head to the south
promotes longevity
It is considered by some nations dan
gerous to sleep while thirsty for the
soul leaves the body in search of wa
ter and if the body awakened too
quickly the soul might not have time
to return to it so the body would die
In Germany the nightmare is believ
ed to be a spectral being which places
itself upon the breast of the sleeper
depriving him ot the power of utter
ance or motiou Philadelphia Press

MalaV Race Not Dying Out
There is a very common idea that
the Malay is a race that is dying out
killed in its own country by the enter
prise of Chinese Tamils Javanese
who however are kiusmen of the Ma
lays and Europeans To those who
come out east expecting to Qnd a few
miserable remains of a once powerful
race whose probable fate is that of
the Australian aborigines it comes as
a revelation to hud a sturdy independ
ent aud courteous race whose lan
guage runs from Suez to Australia and
who so far from dying out are year

CANINE JUSTICE
Eskimo Dogs Sem to Have Laws of
Their Own
In his voyage ot polar exploration
Commander Fiala observed among his
dogs a sort ot government quite inde
pendent of that ot their keepers iney
were of the Eskimo variety and were
trained to work iu teams In their
general conduct however they acted
as a community and their rules had
reference to the common good There
was no penalty lex than that or death
During the period or darkness we
lost eight dogs Three ot them splen
did large animals were killed by their
companions The other live either wan
dered off on the young Ice and were
blown away or were killed by the pack
at a distance trom camp Every dog
was known by name
It is a curious fact that when one
dog has antagonized the others the
ouly way to save htm trom destruction
later on is to chain him Then the
other dogs let him alone Unfortunate
ly for us the dogs that seemed to in
cur the enmity or their fellows were
the large strong animals the bullies
aud lighters
There seemed to be a degree of jus
tice in their judgments From close
observation I found that the dogs gen
erally forgave a bite on the head or
body but that an attack on the legs
seemed to be considered foul play and
must be paid for by the life of the of
fending canine The whole park unit

Handy For His Wife

strenuously because her husband is a
confirmed smoker lie is never happy
without a cigar or a pipe The other
morning she gave him a ten dollar bill
and told him to buy several things for
her He pushed the bill into his coat
pocket and rushed out ut the house to
catch a car
He found that he had to wait a few
minutes at the corner for the cars
were off schedule that morning and
then he proceeded to light a cigar But
he found no matches all of his pock
ets were bare of them Suddenly he
happened to think that lie also missed
the ten dollar bill A hurried search
disclosed that it was gone
lie turned right about and retraced
his steps Itibt as he got in front ot
his home he happened to look iuto the
street and there was that ten tum
bling around iu the wind Dis wife
saw him go and pick it up and she de
manded an explanation de promptly
told her how looking for a match had
caused him to discover that lie had
lost the bill
Now tell me there isnt any virtue
