Animals That Do Not Grow Thirsty. How long would you be contented with- out a drop of water to drink? There are many different kinds of animals in the world that never in all their lives sip so Much as 'a drop of water. Afnong these are the llamas of Patagonia and the ga- aelles of the far east. A parrot lived for • 02 years in the zoo at London without drinking a drop of water, and many net- tiraliste believe the only moisture imbibed by wild rabbits is derived from green herb- age laden with dew. Many reptiles—ser. Vents, lizards and certain batrachians— ' lite and thrive in places entirely devoid of Water, and sloths are also said never to drink. An arid district in France has produced a race of nondrinking cows and sheep, and from the milk of the former Roquefort cheese is made. There is a ape - ,les of mouse which has establisheditself len the waterless plains of western America and which flourishes, notwithstanding the absence of moisture. The Pin Race. Place two rows of pine on the carpet, one on each side of the room. The pins ahonld be six inches apart. Then, at the word of command, the two players are to "' pick up one pin at a dine, return with it and place it in a bowl. Tho one who has picked up all the pins first, of course, wins. There is no stipulation as to which pin is to be drat picked up. Counters may take the place of pine, or nuts would do. But pins are best because of the difficulty in pick- ing them up. Some fun may be made by guessing who will be the winner in the • pin race.

Professor Roberts -Austen of London in a lecture before the Royal Soclety, recently spoke on "The Interdlffusibi- lity of Solid Metals While Cold." It was then shown that solid metals may be made to mix themselves as if the atoms of which they are composed were living creatures. He showed that. when clean sheets of lead and gold are held together in the absence of air at a temperature of 40 degrees they will unite firmly,• and can only be separted by a force equal to one-eighth of the breaking strain of the lead. The pro-, fessor has also proven that if a plate of gold be laid under one of lead about three -tenths of an inch thick. In three days the gold will have risen and dif- fused itself to the top of the other me- tal in very appreciable quantity. New Method of $ec•uring Rubber. Apropos to the numerous articles which have appeared lately regarding the probability of the exhaustion of the future supply of rubber is the re- port of a United States consul at Nica- ragua, who reports that a method of securing the rubber less destructive to the trees has been found..- Heretofore the trees have ,been cut down or the liquid made to exud from incisions at the foot of the tree, but le has been found that the leaves of the rubber tree yield a• purer and more abundant sup- ply' BRAUTY AND HEALTH TO FAIR WOMEN.

It is a periodic disease, appearing and disappearing at irregular intervals, and may be induced by the same causes as give rise to hysteria and ague. The immediate attack of megrim headache may he relieved by the application of flan- nel or sponge, soaked in hot water, or by the continuous application of ice over the part. The affection, which is often a very painful one, is likely to be removed by the improvement of the general health and strength, by good diet, air and exercise, and by the use of bark iron and other tonics. A large dose of quinine—five or six grains —repeated two or three times ip the course of 24 hours will generally cut short an at- tack of megrim.—New York Ledger. Stone Beds.

Mr George Schumacher, 08 McNann St. north, Hamilton, Ont., well known in busi- ness circles in Hamilton during the•past 40 years as a skilful cabinet maker, an adept at such delicate work as repairing billiard tables, oto„ gave the following account of his reecue from the clutches of sciatica through the use of Dean's Kidney's Pills. Said I1r Schumacher: "For a number of yeare prior to May last I have had sciatica in my left hip, at Lilies sobad as to incapa- clate eo from wcrking. The pain extend- ed down my left leg and across my back just above my hips. 1 was so sore that I could not bear the weight of my body, and so stiff that it was only with a painful ef- fort that I managed to walk, "I have doctored a great deal for my complaint, and derived but little benefit, Last May Mr Macau, a friend of mine, ad• viaed me to try Doan's Kidney Pills, as they had helped him wonderfully. I there- fore got a box of the pills from Spackman's drug store, No. 1, Market Square. After taking them four days I commenced to get better, and thenceforward my.improvement was rapid.

I took just twe boxes, and I assure you that they proved a great remeds for me.

A Dermatologist Says It May Be Unknown In Another .Generation. • Now the real cause of baldness has been discovered, and a French dermatologist, Dr. Labourand, suggests a rer 'ly. By the use of this remedy, he says, Laldness can bo prevented, and in the next genera- tion it may be unknown. It has been known for some time among medical men that baldness is a disease. It has even been supposed to be due to a specific microbe. In fact, such an extraor- dinary amount of evidence in favor of the theory has been accumulated that the idea is now generally accepted. Dr. Labour- and's investigation on the subject has been exhaustive and of such a conclusive nature as to add heavy re-enforcomants to the al- ready existing microbio theory. He believes that the disease is contagious and that the cause of contagion and the spreading of micrgbeg-ja dtiif to the barber's instru- ment's. Ile presents strong evidence in support og this theory. Aocord1 ,,abou,rand, the typical diseased hair is found at the edge of a con- stantly enlarging bald &pot.

As the mi- crobe matures it may become one one-hun- dredth of an inch in width. It is bent or slightly curved in shape, like a comma, blunt at the ends and slightly swollen in the center. Each bulb contains millions of these bacilli and to them is attributed th. cause of Balt ness.
