ten about the heart; rheumatism by
sharp pains in the limbs and joints;

ailments, such as anaemia, pain is not

EASY TRICK
The Mystic Letter "Q"
Arrange a number of coins or
buttons on the table in the form
of a letter "Q" as in the iilustra.
tion. Tell the spectators that you
will turn your back so that you can-
not see what is being done. While
your back is turned, a spectator is
to decide' on any number and to
start at the, end of the 'tail of the
,."Q" to count that number up the
tail of the "Q and up the left side.
When he reaches the number he
thought of, he is to start at the
coin at which he stopped and count
the same number in the opposite
direction, ignoring the tail of the
,direction,
and going up the right side of
the letter.
When he again reaches
the number of which he, thought,.
he is to stop and turn that coin
over. When this is done, you will
turn around and pick up the coin
which was turned over.
The trick is that this coin will.
be just the same number of coins
up the right side of the "Q" as
there are coins in the tail. If it is
desired to repeat the trick, rear-
range the coins, leaving a different
number of coins in the tail of the
"'Q" as it will give away the trick
'if ' the same coin is the stopping
point the second time tIle trick is
t done.

other of the series, in a scrapbook.).
Cows That Never Drink.
Large quantities of beef are pro-
duced in the Hawaiian Islands, and
Hawaii itself now boasts several
ranch devoted to the breeding of white
faced Hereford cattle.
Although they are as thirsty as any
.other cows the majority of the ani-
mals exported from this islandhave
never enjoyed a drink of water, for
water has no chance to accumulate
owing to the 'arid soil and the oozn-
piete absence of irrigation:
Any close observer on horseback,
however, soon discovers the animals'
secret, for whenever a 'Horse sees a
cactus tree it throw up its head and
nibbles the shoots, which contain
moisture. in abundance. Seeing the
horse slake its thirst in this way, it is.,
almost certain that a fiery band. of
"white faces" will thunder up to the
spot. Something like a Rugby football
match follows, for the 'parched coves
form a "scrum" round the tree. And
the strongest fellow gets the most
luscious branches.

four feet tall and a foot thick and has
wooden covers. Each page contains
only ten likes of script, which is four
inches-high,and the borders are richly
