NAT. RE U S WARNINGS Danger Signals That Everyone Should Take Seriously. • Pain is one of Nature's' warnings that something is wrong with the body. Indigestion, for instance, is character ized by pains in the stomach, and of- ten about the heart; rheumatism by sharp pains in the limbs and joints; headlachea are a sign that the nerves or stomach are out of order. In some ailments, such as anaemia, pain is not so prominent. In this case Nature's warning take the form of pallor, breathlessness after slight exertion, palpitation of the heart, and loss of appetite.

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.

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.
