Animals Mt PLAY

Cats delight in racing about, but not
SO often, think, In circles as dogs do.
They prefer straight lines and sharp
turns with the genuine goat jump.
This sudden flight into the air, which
appears to take the place without the
animals knowledge or intention, can
not here be preparatory to life in the
mountains, but the cat finds the high
jump very useful, not only in bouncing
on its prey, but In escaping its hered-
itary enemy. Brehn records a move
ment play of young chamois. When
in summer the young channels climb
up to the perpetual snow, they delight
to play on it. They throw themselves
in crouching position on the upper
end of steep, snow-covered incline,
work all four legs with swimming
motion to get start. and then slide
down on the surface of the snow, often
traversing a distance of from 100 to
$50 meters in this way while the snow
flies up and covers them with fine
powder. Arrived at the bottom, they
spring to their feet and slowly clam
Der up again the distance they have
slid down.

TROUBLES OF THE POOR.


FOOD and Clothes Are Possible but Rent
Worries Them.
IF you own the roof over your head
you don't know what real trouble is"
said the factory hand to the New
YORK Times man. "Of course folk
nave got to eat and they've got to
nave clothes to wear, but 1t isn't the
thought of that that's always hang
ing over their heads, and making
tnehl work themselves to death when
tney We got work and fret themselves
10 death when they haven't. Every
now and then we see something in the
papers showing how easy it is for a
poor widow Tor worse than widow to
leeu herself and a family of children
on 20 cents day and If the woman
mas got good judgment and under
stands marketing such stories are not
SO tar wide of the mark. Oatmeal and
potatoes are cheap and there's odds
ana ends of meat and bones that may
ne mad for next to nothing that will
make good soup. As fer clothes, all
poor folk who try to keep themselves
looking decently know how far con-
trlVance will go in making them hold
out. Skirts may be turned inside out
or dyed when they are faded or spot
ted and there's lot of wear in the
secondhand shoes that the cobblers
sell cheaply. OF course we'd all
rather eat the best steaks and wear
silk and velvet but it is not having
to do without them that keeps folk
awake at night. 1t is the rent That
goes steadily on, no matter whether
you are lying around idle and 1t is n
happy day for tenant when the land
lord can be talked into bringing down
the rent by a dollar. Not that all
landlords are hard-hearted as some
folk seem to think. Landlords are lust
like all other men, some being better
and some worse. Now. there's a poor
woman who works in the same place
with me-a widow with two children
and she lives in one of the toughest
neighborhoods in the city. Well, last
fall, when, that woman was too sick to
go to work, she got SIS behindhand
with her rent and-found out afterward
that the man whose business it was
to collect it had been paying 1t out
OF his own pocket right straight along

Many years OF suffering might he
avoided, weary months of lost time put

this remedy has again and again dem

are to lock for the cause of headaches,
rheumatism and neuralgia, and to over.
come these troubles it is the general
health that must be raised. Sick head
aches that recur so periodically with
most women and are so grievous an af-
