WHAT WILD ANIMALS COST
Can't Sell q Rhinoceros Any Hour
I'm the Day.

Can't Sell = Rhinoceros Any Hour
in the Day.
The prices Of wild animals naturally
nuctuate with the demand. An ex-
cessive supply Of rhinoeeri would soon
reduce the market value. Five for sale
at any time in the world would glut
the market, for one can not sell rhi-
noceros every day. The maintenance
of wild animals Is costly and they
soon eat their value in food; so that
every day they are on the hunters or
the dealers hands he is losing money.
After the animals are captured they
have to be transported to the coast.
This adds greatly to the cost. Deliv-
cred at Nairobi or Ft. Florence, which
are inland and practically on the Afri-
can hunting field. baby rhinoceros Of
the prehensile Tipped species will
bring from f75 to f1OO sterling, a gi-
raffe from $50 to G100 sterling, and a
baby hippopotamus from $50 to 600
sterling; Glands and most of the large
antelope from f25 to $40 sterling; ba-
boons from to 20 shillings; monkeys
about the same; crocodiles from to
25 shillings; elephants from a75 to
f175 sterling; lions and leopards, with
the exception of the big black species
OF the latter, from $40 to s35, accord
ing to size and condition. The gorilla
and the square-muzzled Cor so-called
white) rhinoceros can be sold at auc-
tion by telegraph. Their value might
run from $1,000 to $4,000, according
to the bidding. The square-muzzled
rhinoceros Is fast becoming extermi-
mated, owing to the fact that 1t is q
weld animal and feeds la The open,
where 1t Is easily seen and shot.
The above prices are doubled by the
time the animals reach the coast.
Then there Is the cost of transport
from Africa to Antwerp, Hamburg or
London, with the cost Of food and care
added as we'll as the additional ex.
pense Of keeping the animals until .
buyer appears on the scene.
Prices In New York of course, are
naturally higher. William T. Horna.
day, head Of the Bronx Geological
Park, gives the following quotations:
Ordinary black rhinoceros. $4,000;
hippopotamus one year old, $4,000;
elephant, two or three years, $4,000;
giraffe, two to three years, $4,000;
lion cub, $500; leopard, 500; zebra.
$500 to $500; gorilla, type of monkey.
$500; gnu, $500; antelope, from $10O
to 500, according to species; camel.
$500; python, $40 per foot Of length.
The longer the animate are in America
the better accllmatized they become.
the higher go their valuations-from
two to three times the above figures.

the difficulties Of canning vegetables
like asparagus are so great it scarce.

hours. Fill the cans with boiling wa.

as possible and stand away to cool,
being very careful not to put them in
a draft of air. When cold, tighten the
covers and keep where 1t Is dark and

Salmon Sandwich es.

If a housekeeper has grown tired Of
the conventional sandwich she should
try those made of salmon. They are
most palatable. The salmon is faxed
and moistened with mayonnaise and
then put as filling between two extra
thin slices of brown bread with the
crust cut off. Sweet sandwiches are
also in fashion for luncheons and
after -theater parties. The newest ones,
served by clever housewife, have a
filling of candied cherries. chopped
fine and moistened with orange Juice.

 Shortly after the death of his first wife. he himself was stricken with the white plague and the disease developed so rapidly that he was forced to give up his work He had frequent hem orrhages from the lungs. and the only exercise he could take was horseback riding.
 One day he rode over to the black smith shop to have his horse shod and while the smith was doing the work he got on the forge to warm and acci- dentally inhaled the smoke from the stone coa.. It seemed to give instant relief, and he inhaled it for some time He returned home, feeling better than he had felt for months, and determined to continue the experiment. Rev. MT Grimes says that he never had another
 
 hemorrhage; that six treatments cured him, and that he has never had q synp tom of consumption since. He had T lady friend who was in the last stag of consumption. She had given up all hopes and was confined to her bed. which she never expected to leave. MT. Grimes told how he was cured. and as she could not set up. her husband had

 MT. Grimes wants the world to know of this simple and inexpensive remedy. and hopes all sufferers with consump- ton will give it fair trial.
