The Paint Brush ' This is one of 'the most puzzling of card tricks which can be per formed without skill, Before pre- senting the trick put the `four of hearts face down on the table. On this, face upward, put the two of hearts. On this, face downward, put the five of hearts. On the face of the pack put the three of hearts. Pick up the three cards with your right hand, holding them as if they were only one card. This can easily be done if you bold the cards ,with your fingers at one end and your thumb t b at the' other t er and slightly bend the cards, the convex side to- ward the spectators. - Hold the pack with the other hand, the three of hearts toward the .sectators, Slow P Show that the three Is on the pack and the four in your right hand. 'Rub the face of the four against the face of the. three. The three changes to a two, the heart in the center seemingly joining -itself to the four because that card changes to a five. The trick .is that when the •:rein- forced four is. placed on the pack, the .right hand carries away only the five. Try , the trick ,with the cards in your bands and it will: present no difficulties.

There must be no guesswork in the treatment of pale, anaemic girls and children. If your daughter is languid, has a pale, sallow complexion, is short of breath after slight exertion or an going up stairs, if she has palpitation of the heart, a poor appetite, or a ten- dency to faint, she has anaemia—the medical name for poverty of the blood.

The new, life-giving blood which "follows a fair use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills stimu-. lates the nerves, increases the appe- tite and brings the glow of health to pale. cheeks. Mrs. W. E. Armour, Havelock, Ont., says.—"My little girl got into a very poor state of health. She was weak, very much . run down and as the doctor did not seem to do her any good, I thought I would try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

Animal' Suicide: It le sometimes stated that animals know what is good.for them, as need by the fact that dogsin are'oft to be seen eating blades of grass, which we like to think are selected by them for medicinal purposes. But this idea is ` not always;;. borne out by the facts, particularly in the ;case of do mestic'animals., Heifers, bullocks, and cows seem utterly unable to resist the peculiar attractiveness of the yew tree, wherever it is accessible, and on eating it almost invariably. die. Cows. will pick up anything, as witness a re cent case where some cows devoured red lead with fatal results. There is a celebrated treatise lip a nobleman > in which he seeks to prove that the horse is a fool because it will endeavor t strangle itself in its'' stable, if ther appears to be the slightest chance b successful suicide.
