Do Spiders Like Music:

1t has often been said that spiders
are fond of music, but a French inves-
tigatOr, NJ. Lecaillou, now asserts that
this is not true. He says that their
musical sense must be attributed mere
ly to greed or to hunger. When a fly
is caught in a spiders web it buzZes,
and the spider Immediately makes for
the place from which the buzzing
comes. NJ. Lecaillou, by experimenting
with a violin, some flies, a piano, vic
loncello and a cornet, found that only
those musical sounds which resemble
the bu22ing of the flies attracted thc
spiders. The comet, for instance in
variabIy frightened it, and so did the
piano.

HOW DEBILITY SHOWS

Are Specific fer Dangerous
Physical Declines.

Physical Declines.
The symptoms of general debility vary
according to the cause but weakness is
always present, a tendency to perspire
and fatigue easily, ringing in the ears,
sometimes black spots passing before
the eyes, weak back, vertigo, wakeful-
ness caused by inability to stop thinking,
and unrefreshing sleep. The cause of
the trouble may be some drain on the
system or it may be mental or physical
overwork, sometimes insufficient nutri-
ton due to digestive disturbance. In
the latter case there is generally loss of
appetite and q coated tongue as well as
general languor and debility.
Miss Lula NJ Metzger, a stenographer,
living at II Mill street, Watertown, n. y,

DR.. Williams Pink Pills cure debility
because they actually make new, red,
rich blood, and as the blood carries
nourishment to all the organs and tissues
of the body, nerves as well as muscles,
the new blood stimulates the organs to
do the work that nature expects of them
and normal health follows. Not only
is this treatment sufficient to cure de-
bility but many severe nervous disorders
as well.
