State Capitol Building as it will appear when completed. flOR LARGER CAPITOL PARK , Extension of State Grounds the .7 ; Theme of Legislators. Members of the state legislature who O. ? gathered at Harrlsbtirg for the open- . Jng sessions are enthusiastic for the ; ' extension of the capitol park so that vi'the commonwealth's magnificent new ' : . i,bulldlnK may be Riven an adequate sot ; ; ting. The necessity of doing something , .that will improve the surroundings of ','the beautiful structure is apparent to "everyone who has- been at the state '.?) ''Capital. " t'V'A The project supRosted is for the state to purchase a section of land bounded 1 '.. by Fourth street on the east. North street on the north and Walnut r.trect ' ; 'i on the south, the eastern lino being the property of the Pennsylvania rall ''Aroad company. This section can be '-J, .bought comparatively cheap and will ' Kj ', add lmmeasureably to the boauty of , "the state capitol. As it now stands i. the great building, which vies with tho Relate capitola of the country, Is set ' ei ' upon a hill which rises from eight to o twelve feet above the asphalt of Har rlsburg's streets. On the side facing the I'--'y 'jTlver it Is approached by a fine (light j: of steps and Is set back from the street , valine so that some idea can be gained j.,1 V iof Its proportions and architectural de V, i tall on which a wealth of Idea has S- v been expended and which will be one V-of the crowning features of the build- lng. But even on this side tho view Is curtailed because of the build- logs, churches and homes which make v.Of up the city's chief residential section .,A' i Lt.k ii . kti. i v, ii . lions to purchase. On the eastern side, on which it is 'A proposed to make the Improvements S$ by securing the land, the conditions fv 1 are altogether different. The great '(.I'.f building rises to the height of seven '"v stories, crowned then by its domo, !j almost from what would be the house Si, line. Fourth street, on which It faces. ' ,; Is a narrow highway, not very well J ' "i built and not much travelled sate by trolley, one of the city's lines going by the capitol park on Its way to tho West End. State street, which runs east from the building, Is the only cue on which a view of the capitol can be obtained and even on it only a section, which is limited and anything but sat isfying can be had. On the other streets one can get glimpses of the building, which is destined to be the pride of a state. Persona passing on ''Strains have but a momentary sight of i J the middle part of the building, noth lng like what can be had In half a score of capitals where buildings are set with an eye to beauty. The plot which it is proposed that the state should buy to provide a de scent setting for its official home con tains some 20 city blocks, but none -tinaa any expensive Duuaings. un me contrary some of the thoroughfares WU1CU WUUIU UQ ULHMIBUBU DUUU1U kilo state take the land are among the worst in the city. As can be gleaned from the accompanying views thero are several which in course of time will have to be changed as the rickety buildings will fall down before many years. Two of these highway? are alleys in the strict sense of the word, narrow, poorly built up and the home of persons who either do not wish to or who cannot improve their condi tion in life. The city of Harrlsburg to keep them clean and sanitary ar- j ranged to pave them full width which permits of frequent flushing and sweeping. Among the other buildings are one or two industrial plants, a soap fac tory and a hotel and market, all of them erected years ago, and only bet ter than the bulk of the other houses In the district because of greater slzo and solidarity of construction. The section Is one whose proximity to the state capitol has caused more than one legislator and state official to wish that the buildings could be levelled and the area added to make an addi tion for the park. Those who have seen capitola in other states recall the spa clous lawns and land showing the skill of the landscape architect and contrast them with the poor provision made for the home of the government of the nation's great commonwealth There will be little opposition to the purchase from the people who own the land and who live In the section, as the advantages to the whole state are obvious, and should the legisla ture decldo upon the purchase the $4, 500,000 building will not be bidden In the midst of tho city.

An Interesting and extremely fas cinating occupation for the long win ter evenings is that of modeling In cork, and after a little practice the persevering ones will be surprised to find what clever and Ingenious young architects they will become, while greatly charmed as the crude design grows beneath their nimble fingers. Let us suppose that It Is desired to manufacture a model of some old ruined castle, upon wnich the cling ing Ivy twines so tenderly, and around whioh hover many memories of by gone state and splendor. Workers must first supply them selves with tho necessary material and proper tools, fit the latter they will require some paint brushes, a hammer, a sharp penknife, a pencil and a pair of scissors. Having pro cured these, they must obtain a quan tity of cardboard cork sheets, a few old bottle corks, a little fine sand, paints, glue, wire and a small quanti ty of artificial moss and ivy. And now, having decided upon the building and procured the necessary materials, the next thing to be done is to draw a plan of the castle you in tend to reproduce. This accomplish ed, you may proceed to make a frame of light cardboard, cutting It carefully to the requisite- size, and then securing upon the millboard framework a lnycr of the sheet cork to form tho walls. This may be made to represent stonework by means of uneven pencil strokes, which should afterward bo colored In with black or dark brown paint, In order to give the structure a suitable appear ance of age. . The particular portion of the castle which has fallen Into absolute ruin P Fifth Street on South Avenue. Park From near State Street ana decay should have rougn and jag ged edges. The walls should be dark ened by means of a little brown paint Judiciously applied, and small. Irregu lar pieces of cork may be heaped against the sides to represent fallen masonry. Broken columns are quite easy to Imitate, and If an ordinary cork be roughly carved with a sharp pocket knife and then carefully painted and sprinkled with a small quantity of mous, which should be rubbed be tween the fingers until a light powder Is formed, It will be found to serve tho purpose most effectively. And now the artificial ivy (which must be of a small-leaved variety) may be called into requisition and trained around the broken col umns and upon the crumbling walls until a most realistic appearance is given to the whole. The floor should be strewn with sand with which a little powdered moss has previously been mingled. Mempliia News. A Banana Relish, Bananas are frequently served as an appetizer. Just before the meal slice the bananas in inch-thick slices (thinly cut bananas seem to lose their flavor), place in a dish, dust lightly with salt and pepper, add to each cup of fruit the Juice of a lemon. Fill into little paper cases, out glass saucers or glasses and dust the top lightly with chapped plpernelle. This herb the French chef holds In gentle regard, both for its aroma and Its flavor, which resembles tho cucum ber. Had Fifteen Pairs of Twins.
