HOW ANIMALS PLAY.
They Are as sportive as the Children
of Men.

The sense of humor in animals
awakens very early. A ferret will
play with her kittens, a cat with hers,
dog with her puppies. A mare will
play with her foal. though perhaps sell
dom or never has any one seen a COW
trying to amuse her calf nor any birds
their young. If their mothers do not
amuse them the young ones invent
games of their own.
flock of ewes and lambs was once
observed in adjoining fields, separated
by a fence with several gaps in it.
Follow my leader" was the game
most in favor with this flock, the big
sest lamb leading around the field and
then jumping the gap, with all the
others following in single file; any
lamb that took the leap unusually well
would give two or three more enthus-
iastics jumps or exuberant happiness
when it reached the other side.
Fawns play a sort of cross touch
from one side to the other, the touch"
in each case being by the nose. Little
pigs are also great at combined play,
which generally takes the form OF
races. Emulation seems to form part
of their amusement, for their races
always seem to have the winning of
the first place for their object, and are
quite different from those combined
rushes for food or causeless stampedes
in which little pigs are wont to indulge.
Racing is an amusement natural TO
some animals, and. being soon taught
by others, becomes one of the most ex-
citing pastimes Many horses and all
racing dogs learn to be as keen at
winning as schoolboys.
Birds delight in the free and fanciful
use of their wings. There Is all the
difference possible between the fight
of birds for business and pleasure,
and many kinds on fine days will soar
to vast heights for pleasure alone.

A CURE FOR DEBILITY

and 6loodIess.

When the body is weak and the blood
thin it is sometimes difficult to find the
cause unless a wasting illness has pre-
ceded. or the sufferer happens to be a
girl on the verge Of womanhood.
Obscure influences, something nm
healthful in ones surroundings or work.
may lead to a slow impoverishment of
the blood and an enfeeblement of the
whole body. When serious stage has
been reached there seems to be nothing
that will account for it.
Mr.. @. E. Legg. of Upton, w. Va,
has found successful method of treat
ing weakness aud bloodlessuess. He
says:
II used DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
weakness caused by a lingering malarial
fever that began in the spring of 1896
The worst effects of this were indiges-
ton and a bad state of my blood. Twas
anRmic, as the doctors saw. People
generally would say that l didn't have
blood enough, or that / didn't have the
right kind of blood mine was too thin.
My kidneys and liver were out of order.

from my stomach There was good
deal of pain, too, in my back and under
my right shoulder blade"
How long did these troubles last?"
For over two years. For four
months of that time / was under the
care of a physician, but his medicine did
me no good. Meanwhile l learned of
