Tho Blood Red Banner.

Royal and national colors vary with
nations and times, but since Cain slew
Abel blood-red has been the sign OF
revolt. In the earliest revolt known
to history, when the Persians rose
against their king 1000 years ago, they
were led by a blood-red banner, and
during the riots which took place In
Paris the men In the blood-red caps
were followed by the mob. A blood

FOR WOMAN'S HEALTH
Earnest Letters from Women Re-
ueved of Pain by Mrs. Pinkham.

/. "DEAR MRS, PINKHAM Before
commenced to take your medicine l
was In q terrible state, wishing myself
dead = good many times. Every part
of my body seemed to pain in some
way. At time of menstruation my
suffering was something terrible. l
thought there was no cure for me, but
after taking several bottles of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetab BILE Compound all
my bad feelings were gone, l am now
well and enjoying good health. l shall
always praise your medicine. Minis.
AMOS FEscHLER, Box geo, Romeo, Mich.
Female Troubles Overcome
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I had female
trouble, painful menses, and kidney
complaint, also stomach trouble. About
a year ago l happened to pick up
paper that contained an advertisement
of I. ydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and when l read how it had
helped others, l thought it might help
me, and decided to give it trial. l
did so, and as a result am now feeling
perfectly we'll. lwish to thank you for
the benefit your medicine has been to
me."-MRs. CLARA SrIEBER, Diller, Neb.
No r1ore Pain
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM Your Vege-
table Compound has been OF much
benefit to me. When my menses first
appeared they were very irregular.
They occurred too often and did not
leave for a week or more. l always
suffered at these times with terrible
pains in my back and abdomen. Would
be in bed for several days and would
not be exactly rational at times. l
took Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, and menses became regular
and pains left me entirely."-MBs. Z.

PRICES OF WILD BEASTS.
Lion Cubs Arc Almost a Drug Because
Easily Bred In Captivity.

Lion CUBS Arc Almost Drug because
Easily Bred In Captivity.
The importation Of lions has almos.
ceased because 1t is cheaper and easier
to breed them in captivity. Formerly
an importer OF fine lions could CAL
culate on getting $1,000 for a good
specimen, but today young lions bred
in captivity are almost drug In the
market. The only demand for import
ed lions is to keep up the stock OF the
breeding ones, or for very large, pow
erful creatures, for 1t is noticeable that
the tendency In the cage breeding Is
for the animals to degenerate in size
and ferocity. Tigers do not tako as
kindly to cage life as lions, and they
do not breed SO satisfactorily in cap
tivity, and considerable numbers are
imported every year. Elephants do
not breed we'll in captivity, not moro
than two or three having been bred
in this country, but the importations
Of these animals. are so large that the
prices obtained for them have dropped
from $4,000 to from $500 to $4,000
each. Numerous as monkeys are in
this country, they are not bred here,
as they do not breed we'll in captivity.
They are SO easily obtained in the
country south OF us, however, that
prices obtained for them are merely
nominal, and there is little danger 0!
their immediate extinction. In their
native countries they multiply 60 rap
idly that the supply always keeps Well
up to the demand. Among the high
priced animals Of today are the rhino-
ceroses They are quite scarce, and do
not breed in captivity. There are prob
ably not more than half a dozen in
number in this country; all were
bought years ago at good round sums.
Thus the full-grown one In Central
park cost the department $1,000, and
similar sum was paid for the fine AZ
rican specimen in the Philadelphia
zoo. The most recent purchase Of
rhinoceros was the full-grown one for
Barnum's circus, which cost the pro-
prietors $3.50. The tippopotainus is
another extremely rare and expensive
creature. and the salos Of these AZ
rican products arc so few that it is diff
ficult to quote a price for them. It is
seldom that dealers have q good sreci-
men to sell. and few private circusos
could afford to give the prices that
would be demanded. The hippopotamus
born in Central park is the only in
stance OF these animals breeding IN
this country. Had this baby hippo
potamus belonged to a private show il
would have made a fortune for Its
owners.-Scientifc American.
