HOUSES OF THE ROMANS and their architecture
The piece traces early Roman housing from reed huts to brick and stone after fires. It notes Nero’s vast Golden Palace, street widening, and isolated stone houses with outward-opening doors. Intricate entrances, porters, and temple doors showcase ancient practices, while heating, windows, and decor reveal daily life and social cues in a broad survey of Rome’s urban evolution.

The Game of Craps on a North River Steamer
A New Yorker recalls a smoking room craps game aboard a steamboat where a boastful solo player amasses winnings despite hunger and thirst. Opponents push on, food forbidden, until the old man finally quits after midnight, leaving others hungry and tired but still betting on luck. The piece shifts to WMEBODY'S BOY, describing a Civil War rear-guard action where a young, white-faced boy halts a charge, sparing his life as the narrator reflects on mercy and survival. The Detroit Prep Press notes two needs: faster mail abroad and improved female services at home.
