I'm May last, my youngest child,
fourteen months old, began to have sores
gather on its head aud body. We np-
piled various simple remedies without
avail. The sores increased In number
and discharged copiously. A physician
was called, but the sores continued to
multiply until In n few months they
nearly covered the child's head and body.
At last we began the use Of Ayers Sar-
saparilla. In n few days n marked
change for the better was manifest. The
sores assumed a more healthy condition,
the discharges were gradually dimin-
ished, and finally ceased altogether.

A COSTLY CAPITOL.

A COSEA OAFAkOAs
 When Connecticut's fine capitol was built the State was much congratulated because it was built honestly and within the appropria- tion. It stands firm and does not have to be repaired every week or two. New York is having quite different experience. The capitol at Albany has already cost eighteen or twenty millions, and is not yet done. No body ventures to predict when it will be. Changes and repairs are constantly being made, and if the building does not fall down before or soon after it is done many people will feel relieved.
 So ecandalous have some of the perform anees connected with the Albany capitol be- come that they are receiving some attention. The ceiling of the assembly chamber Is a feet. It is made of iron girders with oak ve- neering. The spaces between the girders and cross girders are filled with papisr-mache panels. The total amount expended was $270, 900. In making this ceiling, which is not of wood, there have been used, accord ing to the vouchers on file in the comptrol- ler's office, nearly 700, ,00e feet of lumber cuOOSA tO Adfo COIupActc1y Allcd 0uo aSoOAA- ply chamber from floor to ceiling. Over $50, 900 has been paid for pine, spruce, quar- tered oak, and white wood, for a ceiling which is made mainly of plaster of Paris The number of men who were employed was astonishing. In the first month there were 102 days of foremen's work at S5 day, 59S days of carpenters work, $50 days of labor ers' work, 22l days each of brickmasons' and brickmasons' helpers work, and 132 days of stonecutters' work. In August there were no less than 1. .500 days of laborers' work, or 15e for every day, including Sundays. In addition to these 150 lsborers, there were al the same time at work in the chamber, ac- cording to the vouchers, 15 stonecutters, SC carpenters, 9 engineers, g foremen, and vari- ous other employees. And so forth and so forth.
 It seems to be hard work for some men tc be honest when they have an opportunity te get at public money. The "jobs" connected with the building of the capitol at Albany are disgrace to the State.

Something ofIss erigin and How Et is
 Played In America.
 From the Cincinnati Inquires.l
 Bowling is an ancient and noble sport. At as early period it was a favorite pastime in England. It was first played on the open ground It was the custom to clean up, shave and roll the turf and then bowl with balls which were fiat on one side. It became so popular as 6 means of sport and gambling that during the reign of King Henry VIII it was prohibited by a law, which was not re pealed until 1S45.
 At an early period in the history of Amer ica it was introduced in this country and was very popular.
 Every one who has been much in New York city is familiar with the open park on lower Broadway near the Battery, which is still known to many as Bowling Green.
 In the historic days, when that part of the city was New Amsterdam, this open space was used as public bowling ground. Hence the name.
 In modern times the game of "bowls" ha5 been improved upon. and it is now known as ten pins, and rolled on alleys from fifty to sixty-five feet in length, and made of hard wood and perfectly even. The pins are set up so the front pin stands out alone and the pins follow so that it makes pyramid, and 6 we'll directed ball hitting the center pin in the right way will knock them all. These pins are of swamp elm and weigh about two and one half pounds each.
 The balls used are of lignum vitae wood, from South America. It is the hardest wood known and is without grain. The balls weigh from one pound to twenty, and cost from $3 to $s each, according to size. The pins when set up, as described above ed Srap Tn nina tharA three frames, and the player is allowed three l balls ct each frame. It is possible for hin | to make ninety, but twenty-seven is the gen eral average. If a man knocks all of then | down at ons roll they are reset, and he nai | three rolls. If he knocks but part O. | them he rolls at the pins remaining. | large ball rolled downIthe alley makes loud rumbling noise.

A CARD.
To the Public:

The great success of our January Clearing Sale, which far exceeded our most sanguine expectations, convinces us that in our efforts to quote low prices on line of reliable goods we have met with the appreciation of the dry goods buyers of New Haven and vicin- ity. During the coming season we will con- tinue cur efforts to place before the public the best line of Dry Goods, which we can offer as reliable goods, and at prices that the quality and make of the goods we offer that we have struck rock bottom prices.
 Our lines of Dress Goods and Silks cannot be excelled for variety and for complete as- sortment of all grades. We cannot give you an adequate idea of the line of new goods we are now opening in these departments, but would ask you to call and inspect them. This is our Banner Department, and no ef- fort will be spared te have it up and if any thing above the usual standard of excellence.
 In each of our several departments we have effected an entire change with regards to the prices of the goods, and will be able to place on our counters, at various times, SPECIAL BARGAINS which it would be we'll to watch for, ss we expect to save you many dollars.
 Our recent large and extensive improve ments will enable us to better serve the de- mands of the public, and with our increased facilities we are confident we will be enabled to continue to merit the patronage of the New Haven public.
