How Do You Like Il?

This Is an excellent and amusing
game for evening parties. 1t may be
played by any number Of persons. The
company being seated, one of the par.
ty, called the Stock, is sent out Of the
room, and the company then agrees
upon some word which will bear more
than one meaning. When the Stock
comes back he or she asks each of the
company in succession, How do you
like it?" One answers, 81 like 1t hot"
another, 81 like 1t cold;" another, 81
like 1t old" another, 81 like 1t new"
He then asks the company in success
sion again, when do you like it?"

Ants and Spiders as Food.

In some countries the people eat
ants. In Sweden they mix them with
rye flavor the stew with brandy. They
make a dish of pressed ants and
soften 1t with milk until it looks like
our chocolate.
In Africa the children roast large
white ants and eat them by the hand
full like popcorn. Travellers who have
eaten them say they taste like almond
paste.
Many people cook and eat the 10.
Gust. They boil them in salty water,
roast them in oil or fry them In but
ter. Sometimes they dry and grind
the locusts and make the powder into
bread by adding little water.
The MeXicans are fond of roasted
spiders. They also dry the eggs Of a
certain water fly, grind them into flour
and sell it by the sack. This -four is
sweet and much used for cakes.
These are only few OF the many
queer things eaten by the boys and
girls of other lands. The children Of
our own country often eat roasted
grasshoppers and say that they tasted
like parched horse corn, or maize.

Geography Game.

Here is a game that all the men,
bers Of the family may take part in.
1t Is hardly fair that boys and girls
should contend with grown people in
games of an ordinary kind, but In this
one the chances are that the boys and
girls would have the advantage, for
the reason that they are studying
geography, while the grown people
stopped that long ago.
But however that may be, the
game Is a capital one, and will give
amusement for an hour or so, and will
prove instructive at the same time.
One advantage about 1t Is that 1t re-
quires no preparation of any kind.
Any number of persons may play.
Having seated themselves around the
sitting room table, or with books In
the lap on which to write, and ap-
pointed timekeeper, who shall act
as leader and Judge, they take the
letter A and write In five minutes
time as many geographical names be-
ginning with that letter as they can
think of-the names of cities, towns,
rivers, lakes, oceans, straits, coun-
tries, mountains, etc.
The leader gives notice when the
time is up, and the player having the
largest list of names has the number
five put to his credit. Every word
that player misspells takes one from
his score, but not from his list.
The letter B is taken next, and SO
on, as far down the alphabet as may
be desired. At the end Of the game
the player having the highest score is
declared the winner of the prize, for
it is always better to offer prize to
stimulate the players efforts.

Wood Toothpieks, skewers and Reels

Wood Toothpicks, skewers and ReeIs
One of the first wood mills estab-
lished in Maine was to manufacture
wooden toothpicks. A small machine
was invented, which at present gives
an annual output Of 500 millions of
toothpicks. They are made of the
smallest pieces of waste wood, the
cost Of the raw material being prao-
tically nothing. The wooden skew
ers used by butchers are manufacture
ed at the rate Of half million

the summer season five million skew.
ers and fifty million toothpicks, be-
sides a number of other articles.
Reels for cotton and thread are
manufactured at the rate of $50 mill
lions year. For this output more
than fifteen million feet of white
birch is needed.
