ANIMALS THAT SHED TEARS.
Travellers Observations Have Proved
That Weeping Is Common.

Travellers through the Syrian desert
have seen horses weep from thirst, a
mule has been seen to cry from the
pain OF an injured foot and camels,
it is said, shed tears in streams, says
a writer in Harper's Weekly. A COW
sold by it's mistress who had tended
young soko ape used TO cry from vexa.
ton II Livingston didn't nurse 1t in
his arms when II asked him TO.
Wounded apes have died crying, and
apes have wept over their young slain
by hunters. A chimpanzee trained to
carry water jugs broke one and fell
a-crying, which proved sorrow, though
1t wouldn't mend the jug. Rats, dis
covering their young drowned, have
been moved to tears. A giraffe which
a huntsman's rife had injured began
10 cry when approached. Sea lions
often weep over the loss OF their
young. Gordon Cummings observed
tears trickling down the face of dy-
ing elephant And even an orang.
outang when deprived of its mango
was so vexed that it took to weeping.
There is little doubt, therefore, that
animals do cry from grief or weep
from pain or annoyance.

After | had completed my business

against the management of the textile
trust-it would be published in the

thousands on thousands of investors

Safe, Sure and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet de-
vised has so fully and unquestionably
met these three prime conditions as
successfully as Allcocks Plasters.
They are safe because they contain
no deleterious drugs and are manu-
featured upon scientific principles of
medicine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except ingre-
dents which are exactly adapted to
the purposes for which a plaster is re-
quired. They are speedy in their &C.
ton because their medicinal qualities
go right to their work of relieving
pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance of the functions
of muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the original
and genuine porous plasters and like
most meritorious articles have been
extensively initiated. therefore always
make sure and get the genuine.

He colored. "Yes-had lunch with
