Wood has attracted considerable at
tention during the last few days by

bay lynx or wild cat perched On his
shoulder. Old naturaliSts claim that it
is impossible to domest:cate a speci-

Latin name for Mr. Woods strange pet.
He has refuted that theory. however,
by partially tanning the savage little
beast. Many scars and scratches on
his hands and face bear evidence to

AN INVITATION.
IL Gives Us Great Pleasure to Pub

Al women suffering from any form of
Illness peculiar 10 their sex are requested
to communicate promptly with Mrs. Pink
ham, ut Lynn. Mass. All letters are re-
ceived, opened, read and answered by
women only.
A woman can freely talk of Ter private
illness 20 woman; thus has been estab-
lished the eternal confidence between
Mrs. Pinkham and the women of Amer
lea.
This confidence has induced moro than
100000 women TO write Mrs. Pinkhlm
for advice during the last few months.
Think what 4 volume of experience she
has 10 draw from. No physician living
ever treated so many cases of female ills,
and from this vast experience surely it is
more than possible she has gained the
very knowledge that will help your case.
She is glad to have you write or call
upon her. You viii find her woman
full of sympathy, with a great desire to
assist those who are sick. If her medi-
cine is not what you need. she will frank
IL tell you so. and there are nine chances
out of ten that she will tell you exactly
what to do for relief She asks nothing
in return except your good will, and her
advice has relieved thousands.
Surely. any ailing woman, rich or poor,
is very foolish if she does not take adj
vantage of this generous offer of assist
ance.
Never in the history of medicine has the
demand for one particular remedy for
female diseases equalled that attained
10y Lydia T.. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and never in the history of Mrs.
Pinkham's wonderful Compound has the
demand for ii been SO great as it is to-day.

Railway Between Russia and Persia

Persia is about to be provided with
a new railroad. The line is being engi-
neered by the Cars officials. and CON
structed by means of Muscovite capital.
1t is to have its base at the Russian
port Of Baku, which is connected with
the entire Russian railroad system. and
Is to extend across the plain Of MOgan
To the frontier station of Dulfa, whence
it will proceed southwark to the great
Persian city of TabreeZ. From there,
by way of \aZvin. it continues to Te-
heran, whence branches are to be con-
structed to the great pilgrim resort OF
Meshed, on the northeast frontier, and
to the ancient metropolis, Ispahan. In
the South. Apart from the political
consequences of this lire, the practical
opening up Of great country so ric.,
and yet so undeveloped as Persia can
not fail to prove of immense interest to
trade and industry in every part of tho
civilized world.
