It signinea simply that uneler the impulse of the greater demand and the better prices more persons engage in hunting and trapping the animals. Every animal that bas hair on it is hunted to -day for ita hide. The lion as well as the rabbit, the raonkey as ma the oat, the fox aa well as the seal, the bear and the otter, animala of the Polar region and those that live near the EqUator, mammals and waiphibia.ns. There are some four dred spedea or varieties of fur bear- ing animals, and -allnost every coun- try in the world furnishes its quota of furs. China Sends furs from- Thi - bet, Japan sends martens and badg- ers, South A.merina. a kind of rat, Peru and Chili the chinchilla., Austra- lia the opossum, In 1898 there were 1,000,000 oposurn skins sold in Len- doil I • 'Tim muskrat furnishes the largest numCer of thins in 1808. 2,661,342, Of course, the retail buyer does not ree- ,...ug*L-ch monocrat the fura marten sot fr; out thaV is vfliat meat of the 'marten fursehre. The eel- larettes and boas sold at sixth low prices are muskrat furs and tb,ey Wear well. Skunk and the true marten are next in importance. The marten is found largely in Oanada and the northern part Of the 'United States, and so are the polecat and the ermine. Fox skins are sold in very large xium- bore, 260,000 having been used in 1898. But there are all sorts of grades am- ong the foxes. The comimon xed fox is of least value. The blue fox' and silver fox are most valued. The blue fox is some- times "almost as white ati the snow on which it lives and at other times of a dark color. It is liaie second kind which meat largely Ought for. Last year the best speolinens of blue foxes were sold. for as high as 61,200 each. But the facramis silver, fox is greatest of all, tor its dark skin. is liberally sown with white hairs. It is found Mainly in the extreme North, near the Arcitic Ocean in Alaska, Labrador mid Siberibe and, besides, it is very rare. Some speeimens of this fur have been sold during the last year for 61,700. After the first fall of snow, about the middle of October,.. the fur hunt- ers bury themselves in the foreate, taking with them: two dogs; who drag along the sleigh -loaded with the ne- cessary supplies. These consist of some blankets, ammunition traps, sometimee a tent rand •Very little provisionlineThey rely chiefly upon the, animals Alain for food, After laying the traps -a work of no Small trouble and labor - the hunter must be ever on the alert for the Wolf is ever readY to rob his traps of any animal caught therein, and the hunter doesn't like tO ocitnh furs for wolyes. Toward the end of tne winter most of these animals disappear, and then the hunters look for beavers, setting their traps through holes in the ice. When the thaw begins their aetivity runs along other lines,'for the grizzly and common bears may emerge from their winter quarters and their pelta are in no small demand, After catch- ing as many animals as they can, strip- ping , and salting their hides, the trappers must sell tne products of their winter's work. The Indians in Canada bring most of tbeir fues to the forts of the Hudson Bay Company. Canada and Labredor supply most of the furs exported from America. Si- beria does as inueh for the Old World. The most magnificent sebles and a kind of marten called the kolinski, are found there. Eyen the wolf, whose hide elsewhere is of little value, there has a good pelt. Siberia also furnishes a large number of white fox skins, er- mine and gray squirrel. Even the hares in Siberia have valuable furs for the hunters. In that pert of Asia moat of of the. trapping is done by Zyrians, Ostiaks, Samoyedes and other Mon- golian tribes. Their guns are prime. tive flintlocks, which tlaey use very seldom on account oif the priee of powder. They prefer to use a bowand arrow, and sometimes only a blunt ar- row, so as to stun the animal without hurting or staining the fur. Most of their hunting. is done, however. by traps moat ingeniously contrived. The winters are terrific, the thermometer going down to 80 or 40 degrees below zero, as a general thing, and some- times even to 60 degrees. It often hap. pens that tbe hunters are caught in terrifio storms, when progress is im- possible, and they are coxnpelled to form mow leuts to live. in until they owe find the way back to their eemi- civilized homea. Hunting the amphibian sea otters and. seals is a most profitable and at times dangerous pursuit. At the be- ginning of the century 15,000 sea ot- ters were killed every year near the Aleutian Wands in Alaska, but the recklees hunting has almost sweipt them out of exiatence. Near the Aleu- tians the tempests are very sudden and terrific, and this increases the datiger of hunting in this neighbor, - hood. The otartea, °reads, with ears, bear a fur almost as highly prized as that of the sea otter 'end were former- ly very nUmerous in ite bound regions. Now they are found in some number around Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope, but these have noti suth valuable furs as the seals found in the Pacific; neat teehring Strait. The method of bunting the seals Is most carious. While they are asleep the hunters. glide along the banks and get between them and the sea. Thee, shoutihg and waving flags and umbrellatt, they drive the helpless ani - mils inland like flocks of sheep. Here they are met by Indians armed with elate, who- attack the aeals in groups of one hundred or one hundred adn fifty, killing with every blovv of the elub. In forty days they frequently summed, in slaying the hundred thou- sand seals permitted by Iew. London hi the fur market of tbe world and the fur king is C. M. Lamp - eon. tfis buyers purthase the furs fotind all onto the world. They are all shipped to London, tatalogwid and then sent to &aim and auction melee are held. Within seveli or eight days millions of dollars' worth of furs are distributed th the fur dealers of the world. " but now I aM neiatress-only imag.

It is sometimes asked whether these cures are per- manent, and in reply to this we would Bay that a case which recently came to the attention of the Mail in, dicates that the results following the use of this medicine areas lasting they are beneficial. Some years ago Um Robert Webster, who is well known in Granby, passed through Very serious illness in which her con- dition very nearly bordered upon col- lapee. Her blood appeared to nave almost turned to water. She was very weak, ber appetite fickle, end she suffered fram severe headaches. Mrs. Webster tad the benefit of ex. cellent medical advice, but apparent- ly without avail, as • Eche seemed steadily growing wcirse. The least exertion would fatigue her, and fin- ally she was eor a time unable to do her housework, and was confined to bed. Her husband suggested the use off Dr. Williams' Pink Piels and per- ahased a few boxes, Mrs. Webster had not been taking the pills long before she found herself • growing atronger.' Her headaehes disappear- ed, her appetite improved, new blood appeared ta be coursing through her veins,. and her nerves again' became strong and active. After using the pills for. a couple of months she felt as well aa ever she had done in her life, and could do 'her housework 'without feeling the fatigue that had formerly made her life, so miserable. This, as already indicated, happened seine years ago, and. in the period that has elapsed Pars. Webster has enjoyed the beat of health. •She says that if /she feels at any time a little run (Iowa she takes a few doses a Dr. Williams' Pink Pilla and is Boon all right, and ishe thinks tbere is rice medicine to equal them. • Mr, :Web- ater, speaking of his wife's cure says Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did her a thousand dollars' worth of good, and friends who knew her condition before the began the pills and saw the effect upon her, say the same thing. There are a number of others in this vic- inity who have u.sed this great medi- cine, ahd so far as the Mail can learn the results base always been bene- ficial. There are thousands of women throughout the country who suffer as Mrs. Webster did, who are pale, sub.. ject to headaches, heart palpitation and dizzineas, who drag along fre- quently feeling that life is a burden. To all ateeh we should say give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial.
