A ner- vous person is in a state of constant irritation by daj' and sleeplessness b.v night. Tho sufferer starts at every noise, is shaky, depressed, and. although in a constantly exhausted state, is unable to sit or lie still. If you arc nervous or worried or sutler from ft combination of langour and irritation you need a nerve tonic, and Dr. Williams' I'ink Pills are ab- solutely the best thing in the world for you. You ^an only get rid of nervousness thiough fei-ding your nerves with rich, rod blood, and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood. There is no doubt about this â€" thousands can testify to Ihe blood-making, nerve-restoring quali- ties of these pills. SI.

Ills nerves twitched to such an extent that he was almost help- less and had to bo con."flantly wot- ched.

An Incident in tho Life of the Great Painter. The man who can accoiupli.sh work at a dash is probably the one who has spent |)atient years in ]>repara- tion for it. An enlhusiaslic lOnglish sportsman, Mr. Wcdls, of Uedleat, Penshurst, hud engaged Lnndseer to paint the portrait of his favorite (log. Bui the artist was one of those who [nit olT their duties as long as possible, nnd one day Wells, who bad been growing more and more impatient, showed his feeling b.v .some sharp expression. "I know I have behaved shameful- ly." said l.andseer. "but I wil! coine down next Thursiin.v and sta.v till Mondn.v, and the picture shall bo done before I leave." On Thursday he arrived, just in ed round the shoulders. As they grew, ho made tho floating burden heavier, and finall.v fixed reins to their teeth and taught them to an- swer the pull. Ills neighbors laugh- etl, but ho persisted and at length tried them in the river with his heavy boat behind them. There is more intelligence in the alligator than in some horses, and these amphibians did the journey of six miles and buck in good style. The.v were kept hungry and fed with a good meal as soon as the.v return- ed from a trip, so that thev quickly learnt to go to their destination and back, without stopping on the wa.v to have larks with tho other mem- bers of their species who have not enjoyed the benelils of civilization.

Dogs or goats drawing baby earri- ngo:s are among the ordinar.v sights of great cities, but a Cochin China fowl doing duty in like capacil.v also comes within the scope of novelty. Mr. Ploniesen. of tho State of Iowa, has a lot of splendid Cochin roosters nnd one of thoni is a giant of its kind, and tho majestic manner in which it strutted about induced its owner to try an experiment. He inado a light harness, consisting of a collar to go round th > breast â€" or the lower [lart of the neck, which- ever we ma.v please to call il â€" from which run tho traces, nnd another smaller collar thai goes round the bird's nose, with reins attached.

The.v work for several hours at a stretch, then they have a rest, with food and more music. A monkey as a look-out man on shipboard is a curious instance of the strange u.scs to which animals may be put. This occurred on a derelict vessel some months ago, when the Dutch ship, Geertruida Gerarda. was sighted about six hundred miles from I'remanlle, West Australia. Tho crow of tho rescuing vessel saw a monkey up the .vards on approach- ing the derelicl. and their surprise may be imagined when the.v observed the intelligent creature waving his hair.v arm lo attract attention, and learnt that il was the inoneky's cries that had reached theai.
