The Juveniles have new game called
Blind Mans MOckery," out of which they
are getting lots Of vacation amusement One
of the party is bind-tolded, and while he is
counting twenty-five the others range them
selves as miscellaneously as possible in a row,
and hold out their hands. The blind man"
slaps somebody's hands, at the same time in
curing, who are you?' The youngster
slapped rather impoltely replies, None of
your business" and the "b!ind man" is obliged
to guess his name from the sound of his voice.
He can guess but once and, if he fails, must
try some one else until he guesscs right, when
the one whom he detects becomes "the man"
The game depends upon quickness Of ear, as
well as upon the ability to disguise the voice,
and it shows wonderful difference in chill
dren in both rcspects.-SpriaGtield (HdSsJ

thoroughly oyerhauled and rettted 1t for
their business. Il 10 now one OF the most
conveniently arranged bnainess hou'es 10
the city, both for It's office and general
business. The building is three full sto.
ries in heighth, exclusive OF the cellar,
and Is 125 feet deep.
The firm represent the Oldest iron house
in the city, having been established In
1857 under the style Of P. U. Hildreth 4
Co, succeeded by ia. Metcalf In 1853,
again by Metcalf& Burtin1S6 8 This firm
was dissolved by the death Of j. A. Met.

Long experience has enabled the firm to
become familiar with the wants Of their

finest specimens Of this class Of work to

will or can do.
Another important feature, and one in
which many Of our people are deeply in.
terested, Is the fan blower on exhibition,
now in use in both the La Belle and Bel

The firm have taken great interest in the
success Of this machine in its application
TO The nail factories. In fact It's adapta-
ton to the grinding departments OF the
nail factories has been strongly urged BY
Mr.. Burt, and It's introduction into the
mills Of Wheeling has been largely, II not
mainly owing TO his persistent efforts in
this direction. As yet these fans have
not been applied in any mills outside oil
