"To-day the seat of the sheep-rearing Industry of the country has shifted from tfle Middle "West to the plateau region between the Rockies and the Sierras. Ohio is still doing very well in the business, with nearly 3.000,000 head, but she has dropped from first to fourth in the list of mutton producing States. New Mexico is at the head, with more than 4,000,000; Montana has nearly as many, while Wyoming leads Ohio by a few hundred thousand head. Idaho closely follows Ohio in the rating. Oregon, California and Texas each have about 2,500,000 sheep. The Navajo Indians of Arizona are a material factor in the wool market. The tribe is wealthy through its flocks. The tribesmen are believed to own little short of 1,000,000 head, the care of the flocks and the weaving of wool being almost the sole occupation of the 22,000 Indians. Singular to relate, only a small part of the Navajo | wool crop is worked up at home into the wonderful blankets that have made the tribal name famous.

Pretty Anecdote ot General White. I heard a very pretty anecdote the other day of Sir George White, the defender of Ladysmith, says T. P. O'Connor in M. A. P. Somebody was asking him if he had ever contemplated the time when he might have been obliged to surrender. He.said: "Not very seriously." "But then," objected his interlocutor, "you might have perished to the last man." "No," said White, "for that was impossible, for I would have been riyself the first to die when it came to the worst point. I never was able to eat a bit of horseflesh. I love horses too much." THE SABBATH SCHOOL. INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS FOR OCTOBER 21. Snbjoct: The Tost Sheep ami the I.obI Coin, Luke xv., 1-10?Golden Text; l.uke xv., 10 ? Memory Veruee, 4 7 ? Commentary on the Ilay'ii I.eunon. 1. "Then drew near unto Him." They "were drawing near unto Him" (R. V.) to Tl.ov- Mmfl 1 lie ministrv with an assurance that He would receive them into His kingdom. "Publicans and sinners." The publicans were the taxgatherers. They were odious to the whole nation on account of their occupation and their unscrupulousness in carrying it on. and were persons from whom the religious held aloof because of their gross and sensual life. "To hear Him." They did not; come merely to see Him, or to solicit for cures, but to hear His excellent doctrine and the instruction He gave. They came to see Jesus because they were penitent, a fact which should have led the Pharisees to rejoice rather than to murmur. 2. "The Pharisees." The leading party among the Jews: "the orthodox defenders of the law." They were vera- strict outwardly. but neglected the weightier matters of the law, such as justice, mercy, humility and purity 01 heart. "And Scribes." The teachers of the law. also called "lawyers" and "doctors of the law." Many of them were Pharisees and also members of the Sanhedrin. "Murmured." The proud murmur and condemn: the hunable hear and learn. They found fault with Him (1) because He allowed outcasts and vicious persons to anproach Him, and (2) because He associated with them. "Receiveth sinners." Yes, precious truth! Christ receiveth sinful men. He takes them in His arms, forgives and saves them, and admits them into the circle of disciples. They kept far from other religious teachers, but were drawn to Christ. A ?

Jesus was the friend of the sinner, but not of the sin: they hated the sinner. Jesus associated with sinners for the purpose of drawing them away from their sins to Himself. 3. "He spake this parable." In order to justify His course and show the true spirit of the gospel to the lost He speaks thq parables of this lesson. Something like this parable we had in Matthew 18:12, There it was designed to show the care God takes for the preservation of saints, as a reason why we should not offend them; here it is designed to show the pleasure God takes in the conversion of siuners, as a reason why we should rejoicq in it. 4. "What man of you." The words arc emphatic. He makes it personal and apSeals to their ordinary human feclino*. F they would pity a lost sheep ought He to be criticised for showing pity to a los; man? "If he lose one of them." Tho whole flock of mankind, both Jews and Gentiles, belongs to the divine Shepherd. The lost sheep is an emblem of a heedless thoughtless sinner, one Mho follows the corrupt dictates of his own heart, without ever reflecting upon his conduct. Nq creature is more defenseless, or more in danger of being devoured by dogs and wild beasts than a sheep. Who but a Pharisee or a devil would ilnd fault with the shepherd who endeavors to rescue hii sheep from danger and ruin! "Leave th" on,l m'rw. " Vnt flint thp slicnhcrd does not have a rare for the ninety and nine?they arc all precious to him. but I they are safe. It is the lost one that now needs his attention. "In the wilderness.'* The plains on which the sheep were pas tured. All uncultivated ground wai called "wilderness." "Co after that which is iost." Sinners are lost to Cod, lost ty holiness and heaven. Jesus goes after them, by His spirit, by His providences through His written word, by Iiis churchHe searches diligently with a "yearning! active, tender sympathy," with a hearc tilled with true love, bent on tinding and restoring the wanderer. 5. "Hath found it." This is not to he understood as teaching that Christ savci men independent of any action on thei? St*, ?n vprsp 7. "On His shoulders." Vie bore our fiins in His own body on tin tree. 1 Pet. 2: 24; Isa. 53: 4-6; Hcb. 9: 23. "Keioicihg." Love and pity explain the gentleness with which the shepherd treats the sheep when he finds it Mercy for the lost one and joy within himself are the shepherd's feelings. C. "He calleth together." The joy is sc great that it needs to be imparted. Those who are animated by the same compassion the shepherd manifested will rejoice with him. Ihis sheen was of no greater value than any one of the ninety and nine that had not wandered away; it was the rcscu-j that caused the rejoicing. 7. "Joy shall be in heaven." The angelt take an interest in the affairs of thii world. They rejoice (v. 10) when the lost return. "That rcpenteth." f*innei-s must repent in order to be saved. The parable represents the shepherd .as finding the sheep, taking it upon his shoulders and carrying it to the fold, the sheep having no win in uie nuiitui, uui in mi ........... tion let us remember that the sinner decides whetner he will accept or reject the love and mercy 01 Christ. This parable teaches: 1. That man is lost, (1) By ignorance of the truth. (2) By falling into vice. (3) By his own heedlessness. 2. That he may be found and restored. (1) Christ is seekm-* him. (2) He must repent." 37 That 7TIs recovery occasion* jov. (1) To himself. (2) To Chrijt. (3) To friends and neighbors. (4) To anzels. 8. "If she lose one piece." The same as the Greek drachma and the Rouian denarius. In value about 16 cents. Tnis pari able illustrates the preciousness of the hu? man soul. The loss of one out of ten is a much irore serious one than in ihe preceding parable. "Seek diligently." A new? idea is brought out in this parable. Pity moved the shepherd, but self-interest moved the woman to search for the coin. And so Christ teaches that man lias value 'in the sight of (Jod. 1. The owner of the (coin as representing (lod is, (1) anxious to flind that which is lost. (2) diligent in seeking in dark places, (3) successful. (4) filled with joy at the recovery. 2. The coin as representing man is, (1) of real value, (2) unconscious of loss. (3) helpless. Rut man is different from the coin in that he is an active, responsible being, and must repent in order to return to Cod. 9. "Rejoice with ine." The cause of rejoicing was that the coin had been found, not that it was of greater value than thq other pieces which had not been lost. When sinners come to Christ. (?od, eoo.1 men and angels all rejoice. If these Pharisees had not been so blind they might have seen how little of the spirit of heaven they had within them; they found fault wnen .Tfsus received and saved the lost. 10. "Over one sinner." One soul is precious. To be associated with Christ in tba work of paving men is the highest calling we can engage in in this world. Let *" all strive to be soul winners.

HELP FOR WOMEN WHO ARE ALWAYS TIRED. 441 do not feel very well, I am so tired all the time. I do not know what is the matter with me." You hear these words every day; as often as you meet your friends just so often are these words repeated. More ' than likely you speak the same significant words yourself, and no doubt you do feel far from well most of the time. Mrs. Ella Rice, of Chelsea, Wis., whose portrait we publish, writes that she suffered for two years with bearing-down pains, headache, backache, and had all kindsof miserable feelings, all of which was caused by falling end inflammation of the womb, and after doctoring with physicians and numer- ! ous medicines she was entirely cured by ! Mas. Ella Rich \ Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. If you are troubled with pains, fainting spells, depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere, headache, backache, and always tired, please remember that there is an absolute remedy which will relieve you of your suffering as it did Mrs. Rice. Proof is monumental that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the greatest medicine for suffering women. No other medicine has made the cures that it has. and no other woman has helped so many women by direct advice as nas Mrs. Pinkham ; her experience is greater than that of anj* living person.
