Smithsonian institute of Washing
ton, d. c., committee on the new
municipal building to be built al
that place, visited the Bethel quar-
ries Saturday.
They wished to learn what the ap-
proximate quantity is of the Bethel
white granite. Of late rumors had
been in circulation in New York and
Washington that the granite could
not by furnished for the municipal
building after the large order for the
Washington terminal station had
been finished. These rumors they
found to be untrue, as the supply is
ample.

The Game Of Fascination Affords Lots
of Fun.

Games Of Identification are those
in which part Of the players try to
guess the names of NE Others from
the appearance Of their eyes, ears,
noses or fingers. The players are
divided into two parties and stand
in adjoining rooms, in the doorway
between the posts Of which is
stretched a piece of cloth or paper
with hole in the middle. Each OF
one party now puts finger through
the hole, and each of the other par
ty guesses who its owner is. AS the
guesses are made they are recorded,
and when all have guessed he who
has made the most correct guesses
is the winner. The parties then
change places. Instead OF fingers
noses, ears or hands may be put
through the hole, or each may ap-
ply one eye to it. There may be
only one guesser, and as soon as he
makes a correct guess the person
guessed may take his place.
In another game those whose
names are to be guessed kneel dowr
in a row, and their heads and faces
are covered with long paper tunnels
each having two holes for the eyes
To the bottoms of the tunnels Ii
pinned a sheet, which hangs to TIT
ground, concealing their bodies
Each of the guessers now takes
lighted candle and, looking at tn
ewes through the holes in the pape
| tunnels, guesses who each one is

High Prices and Wages.

What do the thousands of men
thrown out of employment or work
ing on reduced time think of the Re-
publican claim that the present in
creased cost of living is more than
offset by a general increase in wages.
Their experience as a result Of the
present tariff hardly bears out the
Republican argument; an increase
of nearly IS per cent in the cost Of
commodities needed by every house
holder in the land is something tan
gible, reliable statistics prove it, but
are there any stomach-filling figures
to show tfat the wages of any class
of workmen in the country, save
perhaps, railroad employees, have
been increased in recent years al
this terrific IS per cent. pace Or al
anything but small ratio? ..
The Republican gospel of taxing
ourselves rich is not feeding the
unemployed now. The protectionist
argument that in paying a tariff ia,
we are really paying ourselves may
be satisfactory to the Republican
campaign speakers, but while the
people of the "rainswept and rocky
Hebrides" are said to have made
both ends meet by taking in each
others washing, this sort of prosperi-
ty has never caught the fancy o.
American wage earners.

Along with the stories of the de-
struction of crops by deer up in the

report from the same neighborhood
that very few deer or deer signs are
to be seen now as compared with
last years hunting prospects at this
time. Somehow the deer that over.
run gardens and fields up to the 2lst

suddenness by the dawn Of the fol
lowing day. Wouldn't a shot or ;
scarecrow keep them off the grass
during the summer if the stricken

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Treatment Of Children Afflicted With
lntestina! Worms,

Intestinal WoTrs,
Worms multiply rapidly in de-
bilitated persons, especially chill
dren, living in cold and damp re-
gions. Impure water, unripe fruits
and undcrdone meats are conducive
to the development of worms. sun
shine and heat are influences against
them. For the tapeworm the liquid
extract of fern root is highly recon-
mended; about a scruple beaten up
with the yolk of one egg, a little wa
ter and teaspoon of sirup OF
orange peel. A decoction OF the
root of the pomegranate tree is good
and oil of turpentine has been used
with success.
The large round worm which &C.
ours in the intestines is in appear
ance very much like the common
earthworm, sometimes reaching III
teen inches in length. Its mouth
is formed for suction, and it does
not work its way through the walli
of the intestines unless they are
diseased. Serious results, and ever
death, are likely to follow if they
find their way up into the stomach
A tea made from pumpkin seed
is given to children with benefit
Oil of turpentine is effective, ant
santonine is one of the sure rene
dies. 1t may be obtained at the drug
gist's in the form Of tablets o.
lozenges. One may also give tn
santonine in powder, from one-hal
grain to two grains according to ag

Wall Papers.

Conventionalized fruit designs, es-
pecially giant grapes, are fine tol
dining rooms.
Big blossoms are undeniably good
for very large rooms, hydrangeas
rivaling roses.
There's hardly a paper that can,
not be successfully tortured int
some sort of panel effect.
Old fashioned nosegays OF small!
flowers strewn over a white ground
make a pretty wall covering for q
bedroom.
Though not new, one can hardly
do better than cover country house
bedrooms with white or pastel tint
ed MORE paper, using a narrow to-
raj or drapery border.
