ANIMALS IN HEAT AND COLD.


sunstruck and Water-Boaked Tigers and
Basking Polar Bears.
Wild animals oppressed by heat are
almost human In their actions. They
seek shelter from the sun, thirst much
for water, and fall down ut last sun.
struck. The tigers Of India seek jungles
nearly impenetrable to man, where in
the pools they wallow for hours chin
deep in the water, rather than endure
the hent of the sun driving through the
mass Of foliage overhead. Further
than this, they may sometimes be sur
prised, like deer, in the water.
Cattle seek the woods and shaded
spots when the sun begins to show its
fury, but they are soon driven out by q
more deadly enemy, the armies Of blood
thirsty and keenly weaponed insects,
and resort to the hills. Curiously
enough, many insects prefer keeping
In the shade TO quenching their thirst
with blood. When the cattle seek the
pools and streams fish gather around
to snap up the flies killed by the tails of
the beasts.
Fishermen see deer along Adiron.
dack and Maine lakes and streams in the
hot days Of summer. The deer in the
streams nibble at lily pad now and
again and swim across to islands or the
opposite shore.
No mammal bears the heat SO well M
domestic cats. When dogs seek the
shade, cats stretch themselves out In
the sun, and not till dogs pant In the
shade will they move into the shadow.
When 1t Is hot cats drink good deal
and lie quietly In n sort Of dose, M II
thinking Of Ice heaps and snowdrifts.
According to Mr.. Hagenbeck, the
Hamburg animal collector, the polar
bears seem to enjoy the heat of midi
summer. When the sun beats down
hottest these thick-slsinned brutes lie
stretched out in the full glare, Just as o
dog or cat lies down before fire in
midwinter.
The birds Of the fields, the roadside
birds, the sparrows, and the pigeons
battle in the hot dust, but also find de-
light in pond, drinking great quanti-
ties Of water, and splashing about with
the greatest enthusiasm.
In England the rocks gather round
the sheep troughs, waiting eagerly for
the evening supply Of water to be
turned on. In Australia parrots and
birds driven from their shady perches
and flying over an opening in time Of
drought sometimes fall dead.
The woodchuck retires to the moist
depths of its burrow, the squirrel to It's
home tree. The hare lies in the long
grass beside brook in IN alder bed.
The snakes, the mud turtles, the
drooning insects seek the cattle paths
and road sands or some log In pool Of
water on which the sun beats heaviest.
The heat is to them welcome.--N. Y.

After washing hair brushes they can
be quickly and thoroughly dried, with

them briskly with q whisk broom,
and there is no better way to dry hair
after 1t has been washed than to hold
up few strands mt time and with q
small whisk broom fan It, letting the
