was very nervous and would start at the
slightest sound. At times great weak
ness would come over me and OH one oc-
casion my limbs gave way under me and
fell to the sidewalk.
"Of course l was treated by our local
physicians and also consulted noted
doctor ut Albany, but nothing they gave
me seemed to benefit me. One day I
read i'll a newspaper about Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and l imme-
diate!y gave them n trial. l soon felt
much better and my color had begun to
return. l continued using the pills and
by the time had taken eight boxes I
was entirely cured.

fercd terribly from anamia. She was
pale and thin and we feared that she

A Way to Make Money.

When you boys and girls were ba-
bies and knew no better you used to
pull every one Of your toys to pieces.
No matter how pretty or how expen-
sive they we're to pieces they would
come. And probably mother and faith
er, after trying TO break you of this
bad habit, made up their minds that
you were genius, and wanted to find
out how all your different toys were
made.
How many of you could put the
pieces back in place? Not many, I'll
warrant.
But now. that you are older, it is
easy to replace the loose parts of toys
and other articles.
Why not make this a little business
and earn some money by it? There
are many homes where broken things
accumulate for years, sometimes
never being mended.
Now boys or girls. if you have care
full, neat fingers. steady hands and
accurate eyes, this is a good sugges-
zion for you to follow.
Buy a small bottle of cement and a
small bottle of glue, if you have
enough money. If not. mother or faith
er or uncle will perhaps lend you the
money for an investment
Armed with these weapons, visit the
neighbors and offer to mend china.
crockery and bric-a-brac. Practice at
home first If you can and be sure your
pieces are in the right places.
AS you become expert. you viii find
that you need plaster of paris. putty, a
small box of paints and some varnish.
The plaster and putty are to fill up
chinks where pieces are missing; the
paint to color them, and the varnish
to finish of II necessary.
Try this little plan and see what a
success you can make o. it with the
help Of the three p's-pluck. patience
and perseverance.

Jolly Evening Games.

A number of jolly evening games
can be played with ordinary pins, one
scent paper of which will supply the
foundation for an evenings amuse-
ment.
A paper-spearing contest-Tear or
cut clean scrap paper into inch
squares and pile them on a paste
board box lid. There should be sew
eral handfuls, enough to make a good
sized heap.
Place the box lid in the center of
the table at which the game is to be
played and give each player pin.
The fun consists in seeing who in the
fifteen minutes allotted to the game
can spear the most pieces with his
pin.
BY the rules Of the game only one
piece OF paper may be taken on the
pin at one time If two are captured
by mistake both must be returned to
the pile.
A small prize may be given to the
boy or girl having the most squares
when the game is at an end.
Pins and marbles-Each boy or girl
receives three pins, which are stuck
upright in the carpet. Marbles are
then used to bowl over the pins. Nat
urally, there must be prearranged
place for the pins to be stuck and for
the bowler to stand. in order that
everybody shall have an equal chance.
If more than one boy or girl should
succeed in downing all three pins in
the three, bowls allowed by the rules,
the successful players can have rub
her" games together until one or the
other becomes champion.

To be very queer, indeed, this
dance, which, by the way, is the old
fashioned 'Lancers," requires eight
girls, dressed exactly alike. A Qua
ker costume, with the full, quaint
skirt and white apron would suit the
purpose best, perhaps. though If
brighter cQlors are pref red the
same old-fashioned style might still
be carried out. All the hair is comb
ed up, and on the back Of the head
is tied or pinned the painted face Of
a rag doll, thus giving the owner two
distinct faces. Over the rag face the
ends Of the hair are trained to look
as natural as possible. 5urmounting
all this is cap made OF strip Of
white muslin about finger wide,
with ruffles all around, and long
enough to tie with ends under the
real chin and in the same manner
under the .'make-belleve" one. This
finishing touch will make a perfect
double face. A little ingenuity must
then be used to dress the back Of

"sIeepy Grass"

There Is a species of grass, "Stipa
vaseyi." growing in the mountains Of
New Mexico ard in some OF the neigh
boring regions. that has the marked
effect Of putting to sleep every horse
that eats 1t. Until recently there have
been only vague and unauthentic ac-
counts OF IT, But at a recent meeting
OF the Washington Biological Society
Mr.. Vernon Bailey, an official OF the
United States Biological Survey, de-
scribed the effects OF this grass on the
horses OF the exploring party OF which
he had charge last year.
They had camped In the Sacramento
Mountains in New Mexico. at an alti-
tude OF about eight thousand feet
Their horses had just been turned
loose to Craze on grass that had al

heads full OF ripe seeds, when pass.
ing ranch man warned them that 1t

they get good feed OF that grass you
will not get out Of here for. a week,
After the horses had grazed about half
an hour the warning was needed. and
the horses were pickefed to another
spot.
The next morning all the horses
were drowsy. and one was sound
asleep, standing with legs braced and
ears and lower lip dropping In most
unusual and grotesque fashion. He
had almost 70 be dragged to camp. and
would not eat his oats or drink water.
He preferred to sleep. All the horses
were sleepy for about three days. but
no III effects followed. except profuse
sweating while travelling. and little
loss OF flesh from preferring to sleep
instead OF eating full ratlons.
The range horses are said never to
eat sleepy grass, and these that are
brought into the region where It grows
and turned loose eat OF Il only once.
Horses that were thought to have
strayed and were lost for days have
been finally found asleep in the bushes
near camp. Cattle are said either not
to be effected by eating this grass or
to refuse to eat 1t. The exact facts
are not known. II is probable that
when more Is known about this sleepy
grass an extract may be made from
II which will be Of use as a sedatiye.

Broke un Card PLAYING.

Card playing. said the Major,
awas with many soldiers passion,
and in that form was as difficult to
handle as anything in the army In
the first year Of the war poker was
a demoralizer, because cncers and
men gave themselves up to II and be-
cause there were in nearly very regi-
ment sharpers and gamblers who
took advantage of the unsophisticated
or Of those who played as resiof
from the tedium Of army life. The
sharpers as rule fell out OF the SER
vice when the serious business OF war
opened, but the men who were car
ried on their feet by poker we're num-
bered by the hundreds In every bri-
gade.
1T was almost impossible to en-
force discipline in the matter OF card
playing, because IL the Colonel Of a
regiment was poker player he sym
pathized with the men who were
poker players, and the latter knew it.
SO it happened that men evaded camp
regulations and played on picket and
even in the resting intervals of fight
ing on the skirmish line. Generals
like Rosecrans had small patience
with this condition Of affairs and did
much to remedy the evil. In our regi-
ment, however, an incident of no
great moment did more to bring
about effective reform than all the
generals efforts and orders.
"One day II so happened that half
q dozen poker players were thrown
together ON an advanced post guard
ing a road through the woods in our
division front The boys knew the
enemy was abroad and alert, but it
was very quiet there in the woods,
and the next picket post was not a
hundred yards away. Four of the men
decided on a quiet game, leaving two
men on watch The game soon be-
came very interesting, and the men
on guard drew nearer and nearer to
watch the play. They, as well as the
men playing. soon were so absorbed
that they lost sight of their surround
ings. and when the rebels rushed the
post all were made prisoners without
firing shot.
n For few minutes there was con-
sternatiOn, almost panic along the
line, but the post was reclaimed and
the gap closed before the enemy could
take advantage of 1t. The Lieuten.
ant in immediate command, knowing
the men, knew how they had been
captured. The Captain knew also
as did the Colonel, and all the poker
players Of the command wore very
serious faces. Six good men had
been sacrificed, and the regiment had
been put in a very awkward position
That night FIVE of the captured mer
sneaked inside our lines. They re
ported that Buffer, the instigator o.
