The Game of Echo.
Echo can be played by any num
ber of persons, one of whom is
chosen to tell a story, and the oth
ers take the names of various char
acters or objects that are to be
mentioned in it. When the story
teller mentions the assumed name of
a player once, that player must re
peat it twice, and if it is mentioned
twice in succession, it must be re
peated once. Any player who does
not echo his name, or who repeats
it the wrong number of times, must
pay a forfeit. The object of the
story teller is to make his story so ■
entertaining that the players will
forget to echo. If the story is to
be about a fight with a wolf, for in
stance, the names assumed by the
players might be hunter, gun, pow
der, bullet, knife, cave, rock, tree,
etc.; or if a Bhipwreek is the sub
ject, the names might be ship, cap
tain, maty, mast, sail, tiller, keel,
passenger, wave, wind, etc.

An Intellectual Dog.
The marvelous achievements of
Bozzie 11. have attracted attention
of psychologists. The peculiarity
of Bozzie is that she “reasons.”
Many exhibitions of the dog’s
phenomenal powers have been giv
en.
As to the mind reading tests, one
visitor wrote on a slip of paper, “I
would like to have the morning pa
per,” and looked at the dog. Off
trotted Bozzie and got it. A little
boy put his hand on Bozzie’s head,
and then the boy thought of his
age. Bozzie gave ten quick barks,
which was eorrect.

Remedy for Snake Bite.
Editor News and Courant: I s°e
in your issue of August 22, 1904,
where a son of Mr. Fred Lewis had
to come to Dr, Hightower for treat
ment for snake-bite. Now publish
this, the Texas remedy for snake
bite:
Immediately, or as soon as pos
sible, after being bitten, submerge
the wound in common or ordinary
kerosene or coal oil, apply the
remedy fully one hour, then treat
it as any ordinary wound.
This is an almost universal rem
edy here for snake bite, and I have
never heard of it failing to cure.

Treatment of Children Afflicted WRH
Intestinal Worms.
Worms multiply rapidly in de
bilitated persons, especially chil
dren, living in cold and damp re
gions. Impure water, unripe fruits
and underdone 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 recom
mended; about a scruple beaten up
with the yolk of one egg, a little wa
ter and a 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 oc
curs in the intestines is in appear
ance very much like the common
earthworm, sometimes reaching fif
teen inches in length. Its mouth
is formed for suction, and it does
not work its way through the walls
of the intestines unless they are
diseased. Serious results, and even
death, are likely to follow if they
find their way up into the stomach.
A tea made from pumpkin seeds
is given to children with benefit.
Oil of turpentine is effective, and
santonine is one of the sure reme
dies. It may be obtained at the drug
gist's in the form of tablets or
lozenges. One may also give the
6antonine in powder, from one-half
grain to two grains (according to age
of child), with a little rhubarb about
the size of a pea.

How an Orator’s Peroration Captured
the Audience.
The late Governor Pattison of
Pennsylvania used to tell with keen
gusto tlie following:
A certain candidate thought that
his chance for election would be in
creased if he acquired < knowledge
of Pennsylvania Dutch, so he pre
vailed on a friend who was familiar
witlx that patois to accompany him
and post him how to get off a
Dutch sentence at the end of each
speech. This plan proved a great
success and the candidate was de
lighted with the experiment.
In the excitement of one meeting,
however, he forgot the phrase so pa
tiently taught him early in the day
“JUST SAT, ‘WAS NEMPST?’”
by his mentor and, under cover of
taking a glass of water, hastily com
municated that fact to his friend.
“Never mind,” was the whispered
reply, “just say ‘Was nempst T ”
This the speaker innocently did,
and the result astonished him.
“Such a rush from a hall,” he
afterward said, “was probably never
before witnessed in the state of
Pennsylvania. That little phrase
was Pennsylvania Dutch for ‘What
will you have to drink?’ and the
proprietor of the hotel to which my
audience had adjourned taxed me
$24 for my ‘Was nempst?' break.”—

Satirical.
“I could make up with Billinger
all right if he wasn’t so deuced sa
tirical. But he keeps the chasm
open between us.”
“What chasm ?”
“Sarcasm.” Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
Looking Ahead.
Dewtell—Seems rather eontradict
• ory, his swearing to ruin the insti
tution and then leaving it a million
in his will, doesn’t it ?
Knowall—Not a bit. It'll bank
rupt them defending the will.
Hateful Thing 1
Patience—When I went out with
Jack in the automobile the other
day, my hair went flying out be
hind.
Patrice—Did you get it again ?
Y'onkers Statesman.
Very Trying.
“My work is very trying,” he re
plied in answer to a question as to
his occupation.
“You are a judge, I suppose ?”
