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. r•> jiuj-'ui - - iA Hldd*n Tree*.

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.

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. mmHONEMAR for children; soft, /-.

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.”— New York Times. 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.
