Parliament Clerks and Civil Service

Popular situations and desirable ones
are clerkships in either house of parlia-
ment. In 1887 the clerk of the house of
commons, Sir Reginald Palgrave, in
troduced the system of limited COMPETE
ton. There are usually one or two va
cancies annually, and the obligatory
part of the examination, besides the
usual subjects, embraces constitutional
history and Latin, while the optional
subjects include Greek, French, German
and mathematics, of which subjects the
candidate may attempt two only. The
examination fee is SO, and the limits of
age are 10 and 20 years. Clerks between
the ages of 10 and "a, whose parents do
not reside i'll London or the vicinity,
must be provided with such place of
residence as shall meet with the APP
proval Of the clerk Of the house of com
mons.
The whole clerical staff i'll this house
numbers "a, and the salaries run from
9100, the figure at which a junior be-
gins, to C. 600, at which the remunera-
ton of the principal clerk eliminates.
The staff of clerks in the house Of lords
is smaller, but is recruited in "a similar
way, the only important difference in
the examinations being that French is
in this case compulsory, Italian taking
its place among the optional subjects.
In the house Of lords staff there are IS
clerks, with salaries running from e100
to that of the chief, who yearly draws
e1,200 Besides these, many have extra
allowances which run from e25 to $3.50.
Vacancies occur but seldom. There has
been no appointment made since 1890.

Mixed ton of salt, 5 barrels of lime, two bar
rels of leached, and 4 barrels of unleached
ashes, and sowed on five acres of oats. Could
see decided improvement over the acre that
had none of the mixture. Think it paid me fully
twice its cost.
From a. W. Edwards, Jeffersonville, vt.
Sowed 5000 TBS. on 10 acres of very poor, badly
run out land. Used no manure. Threshed out
367 bushels oats, and there were several bushels
wasted by severe storm just before harvest.
Think the use of salt gives more grain and bet
ter quality. Gives good results on dry land.
From Ex-Selectman A. c. Davis, Hyde Park,
SOwed half ton OF your salt ON two acres OF
ground. Ground not in good condition. Had
raised two crops before on same land with very
little manure: Result, good crop of oats, and
the oats weighed more than 80 lbs. to the bushel.
Think salt good for dry light soil. Shall use
more next season.
From W. S. NewcOmb, Eden, vt.
Used it on oats. Made straw sitter and
brighter and less liable to lodge and rust and
the grain heavier. The best fertil ger, consi der.

dry soil. Keeps the ground moist and insuros
better catch where it is desired to sow grass
seed with oats.
From James AtweT, Eden, vt.
Used salt on old meadow land that had moved

bushels sowing. On another piece sowed three
pecks ofbarley and got two bushels on pollypOd
brake land that was all played out tor grass,
Shall use more next season than last.
From Thomas Jacobs, johnson, vt.
The salt proved better than expected. Shall
use more the coming spring.
From ]. D. Langdell, Cambridge, vt.

Interview with Charles II. Pinkham. Ma
Iicious Stories About Lydia Il. Pinkham
Never Having Existed Refuted.--Son of
the Famous Lynn Benefactor Tells of
Her Kindly Interest in WOmanlxind and
her Actual Personality.
tTimes- Herald, Chicago.1
Lydia E. Pinkham, who is so wide
ly known by the benign face in the
celebrated patent medicine advertise
ment, is not, as many people sup
pose, a myth. To this fact there is
no stronger evidence than her son,
Charles H. Pinkham, whom the
Times-Herald reporter had the
pleasure of interviewing to-day.
Lydia Pinkham's personality has
probably never been described in any
of the publications illuminated by
her kindly portrait, but that she was
g living force in the world was a posi-
tive fact.
Charles H. Pinkham passed through
Chicago the other day on his way to
spend vacation in the West. To a
representative of the Times-Herald
he spoke feelingly of his mother and
the painful impression that prevails
in some quarters as to her non-ex-
istence.
"Of course" said Mr.. Pinkham,
"the mere idea is absurd to me, her
son, who knew her to be the kindest,
sweetest, gentlest mother in the
world. She was all her portrait
speaks her to be, and her whole life
was given up to doing all the good
she could in this weary world"
SIMPLE LIFE AND SYMPATHETIC.
"Her life was simple and her heart
full of sympathy and tender feeling
After the business grew with almost
miraculous rapidity, she devoted bel
entire time to it, or at least to thai
branch of it which related to CORE
spondence with women seeking hel
advice, and her pleasure was in thai
duty. am proud to say that my
mother was not myth, and tha'
there was not drop of selfishness il
her makeup"
Mrs. Pinkham was unique amone
the makers of proprietary medicines
She was the first toprint her portrai
in her advertisements, and that fac
has seldom failed to warm the hear
of anyone who has seen it. Mr.. Pink
ham carries portrait of his mothe
in his pocket. 1t is the face of the ad
vertisement sure enough.
Lydia Estes-that was her maidel
name-was born in Lynn, Mass, an,
before her marriage she laugh
school in the little Yankee town. He
parents were Quakers, and it was il
that simple fraternity she exhibite,
her early ideas of kindness. He
husband was a successful real. estat
man, and possessed considerabl
wealth. There were four children
two of whom-Charles Fl. Pinkhar
and Aroline Chase Pinkham-survive
and who now own the bushes
equally.

FIRST BREWING ON A STOVE.

Mrs. Pink ham had for years brewed
the compound that now bears her
name, on her kitchen stove, and had
given it away to her neighbors.
When the panic of 1873 came Mr..
Pinkham, senior, lost his fortune. 1t
was while the family were in strait
ened circumstances that one day two
ladies drove to the Pinkham resi-
dence and asked Mrs. Pinkham to
sell some OF her already famous COM
pound. This fact suggested the
bright idea of making the medicine
in quantities and offering it for sale.
What followed, every newspaper
reader knows. She insisted on carry.
ing on her own correspondence, shar-
ing her work with her daughter-in-
law, Mrs. Charles H. Pinkham, and
she soon came to- be regarded as a
public benefactor. This title she de.
served in ample measure.
When she died she bequeathed her
place at the head of the business to
her daughter, who to-day, with years
of experience and study, and by the
aid of corps of assistants, person,
ally attends tothe great mass OF cor
respondence that flows in and out OF
the big concern in Lynn; and that
bond of confidence so thoroughly es.
tablished between Lydia E. Pinkham
and the women of America, whereby
they were enabled to talk freely OF
their private illness to a woman, has
never been broken.
1t has been the aim of this great
woman's children to carry on the
work begun by the mother in the
same spirit of kindness that charac-
terized her whole life.
Lydia E. Pinkham is more than a
dispenser of medicine. She is fact
