those days. Deer and antelope in abundance
ranged the foothills of the Sangre de Christie
Mountains, whose snow-capped peaks threw
a shadow over our sod-roofed cabin until far
into the morning
Skulklng coyotes, and yet more cowardly
Indians, travelled up and down the broad
valley that opened out grandly to the south
and west of us. extending in sunny sweep
OF twenty miles to the swiftly rising heights
of the Saguache and Chochetope Ranges,
while other neighbors, such as mountain
lions, cinnamon and silver-tip bears, made a
stockmans life burden to him. Last and
most dangerous, were band of the huge
gray timber wolves.
There are no wild animals more to be dread
ed than these same timbers wolves especially
when pressed by hunger. Then they become
yeritable demons, and woe upon the living
thing whose trail they happen to cross!
They at once begin a merciless chase and
continue it untiringly, rivalling in speed and
endurance the most sinewy horse. Nothing
daunts them. Shoot one down, and he is in
stantly devoured by the rest of the pack, who
thereupon rush forward with unchecked cour-
age, and appetites but whetted by their un-
natural feast. Fire alone can hold them at
bay.
With these ugly brutes it was my luck to
have an adventure the second spring after

How often doyou hear these signi-

friends. More than likely you speak
the same words yourself, aud there
Is q cause.
More than thirty years ago Lydia
L Pinkham of Lynn. Mass. discovered
the source of nearly all the suffering
endured by her sex. "Woman's llls,"
these two words are full Of more
misery to women than any othertwo
words that can be found In the
English language. Sudden fainting,
depression of spirits. reluctance to
60 anywhere. backaches, headaches,
nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing
down sensations, displacements and
Irregularities are the bane of woman's
existence.
The same woman who discovered
the cause of all this misery also
discovered a remedy. Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound made
from native roots and herbs holds
the record for a greater number of
absolute cures of female ills than any
other one remedy the world has ever
known and it is the greatest blessing
which ever came into the lives of
suffering women.
Don't try to endure, but cure the
cause Of all your suffering. Lydia r.

SOME POINTS ABOUT NEEDLES.
Tho Evolved Product Of Centuries Of
Invention.

The point Of a needle is a very i'm
portant part OF that useful little in
strument, and there are many points
about needles calculated to interest
the general public. The daily con
sumption of needles all over the world
is something like 5000, 900, while
every year the women Of the United
States break, lose and use some 300,-
00o,000 OF those tiny tools. Few PEG
lie while threading a needle have
over given a thought to the various
processes through which the wire
must pass before 1t comes out q
needle. Yet the manufacture Of
needles includes some 81 different
processes from cutting the wire and
threading the double needles by the
eyes to separating the two needles on
the one length Of wire, heading, hard
ening In oil. cleaning out the sides Of
the eye, point-setting, and final pol.
ishing. For wrapping purple paper Is
used, since It prevents rusting. There
are many sorts of needles, for SUR
geons', cooks, glovemakers', weavers',
saiimakers', broommakers', milliners'
and dressmakers' use. The needle Is
the evolved product Of centuries Of
Invention. In its primitive form 1t
was made of bone, ivory, or wood.
Point by point Its manufacture has
improved, until this little but not in
significant instrument is now one Of
the highly-finished products OF TWEEN.

WHERE THE HlPPos BATTLE.
South African Lake for Which Big
Beasts Have a Liking.

A few miles from Muhokya we came
to Kikarongo, a circular lake. once a
crater. about half a mile wide, writes
q correspondent OF the Westminster
Gazette from Uganda. The water is
slightly salt and is greatly appreciated
by the hippos, who come here in large
parties from Lake Ruisamba to battle.
The lake is shallow for a few yards
only and then deepens rapidly. so the
hippos, who do not like deep water,
never go very far from the shore.
Oh q still day 1t is an amusing pas
time to sit by the lake and watch the
great brutes enjoying themselves.
For a moment nothing is to be seen,
then suddenly a score or more of huge
heads burst through the water with
loud snorts and squirting Jets of water
through their nostrils; they stare
around with their ugly little piglike
eyes, yawn prodigiously. showing a
fearful array Of tusks and a cavernous
throat. Their sink with q satisfied CUR.

Stimulate the Blood.

Brandreth's Pills are the great blood
purifier. They are a laxative and blood
tonic, they act equally on the bow
els, kidneys and skin, thus cleansing
the system by the natural outlet Of
the body. They stimulate the blood
so to enable nature to throw off all
morbid humors and cure all troubles
arising from an impure state Of the
blood. One or two taken every night
will prove an invaluable remedy.
Each pill contains one grain of solid
extract Of sarsaparilla, which, with
other valuable vegetable products,
make 1t a blood purifier unexcelled.
Brandreth's Pills have been In use
for over a century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or su~gar-coated.

n STORY.

SRAEL did not realize how com
pletely they were under the infu.
ence OF the people of Moab until
the king OF that neighboring kingdom
demanded an offering from them. Up
to this time they had mingled freely
with them without apparently compro-
missing the integrity OF their own ma
tion, for the strength and prestige
which Othniel had brought to the
nation continued for several years
after his death.
But as the people began to yield
to the evil enticements Of the Moab
ties, and share in their idolatrous
feasts, they we're gradually weaned
away from the worship Of their W
God. And this was not all. for they
married the daughters Of the Moab
ties and In turn gave them their
daughters to wife.
Thus It vas when King Eglon
placed Israel under tribute that they
had not the strength or courage to
resist. True 1t is that some Of the
more courageous who had not al
together forgotten their God and
turned from him withstood the humil.
Eating demands and refused to make
payment, but when the king sent his
army through the country and had
crushed all opposition he increased
the amount of the tribute money and
made the burdens of the people griev.
Gus And to prevent any armed re-
sistance he removed all implements O:
metal out of which weapons Of war
might be made. leaving the people
only such simple tools as they need
Cd for the cultivation Of the soil.
Nov there was a mighty man. a
Benjamite named Ehud who .sas
among those who offered bold resist
ance to King Eglon, but when the lat
Ter had driven him into the noun
tain fastnesses and had scattered his
followers he sued for peace, and. hav-
ing apparently accepted the yoke and
rule Of King Eglon. Ehud was re-
stored 70 his lands again.
