A RAIN IN e S

Hot Springs. S. D., June 2S.-Hot
Springs was visited by another de-
.structive rail- storm Wednesday, mixed
with hail half the size of a hens egg,
which did considerable damage. Sew
eral railroad bridges on the North
western and Burlington roads were
washed out and no trains came in for
twenty-four hours. So many heavy
rains have never been known here be-

country have never looked so fine, but
for the good of the fruit and vegetables
there has been enough.

MufP Originated in France.

When the muff came to US from
France i'll the days Of Charles TX. no
lady could have worn Il sealskin muff,
for black was decreed by the king to
be the badge of the comomn people and
the court followers were restricted to
the colors. Muffs have gone through
more styles than it would seem posi-
Bile to invent for such a simple article
Of convenience. says the London
Chronicle. They have been long and
narrow and again large and round.
One Of the most curious styles was
that of Louis XIV. called the 'chiena
manchors," because they were made
to convey little dogs in.
The muff when first introduced was
the exclusive property of the nobility.
These muffs were very small and con
sisted of a single piece of velvet. bro
cade or silk lined with fur and tie
openings fastened with rich jewels.
Such arrangements came in during the
early part of the seventeenth century.
We now associate the muff only with
cold weather, but in the old days il
was regular part of woman's dress
and was carried at all times.

This remarkable woman, whose
maiden name was Estes, was born in
Lynn, Mass, February 8, 1919, com
ing from a good old Quaker family.
For many years she taught school, and
during her career as teacher she be-
came known as a woman OF an alert
and Investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above all,
sympathetic nature.
In 1S43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a daugh-
ter.
In those good old-fashioned days few
drugs were used in medicines: people
relied upon natures remedies, roots
and herbs, which are to-day recognized
as more potent and efficacious in con-
trolling diseases than any combination
OF drugs.
Mrs. Pinkham from her youth took
deep interest in medicine, in botany
the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics, and power over dis
e1se; she believed that as nature
20 bountifully provides food for the
body so she also provides medicine for
the ills and weaknesses Of the body.
in the roots and herbs Of the field,
and as wife, mother and sympathetic
friend, she often made use of her
knowledge of roots and herbs in pre-
pairing medicines for her family and
friends.
Knowing Of so much suffering
among her sex, after much study and

the diseases of women have a COM
find a common remedy-not at that
time as source of profit, but simply
that she might aid the suffering.
How her efforts have been rewarded
the women Of the world know to-day.
In 1878 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity was too
much for the large real estate inter
ests of the Pinkham family, as this
class Of business suffered most from
this fearful depression, so when the
Centennial year dawned it found their
property swept away.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES


W. L. TOmlinS, the veteran choral di-
rector, sometimes surprises his pupils
by analyses Of their voices made af-
ter the inductive method. Recently,
while he was visiting at country
house, an instance occurred which led
his hostess to call him 1.-The musical
Sherlock Holmes"
A young woman had sung two sim
pie ballads, to the enjoyment Of the
party-and of Mr.. Tomlins. When
she had finished he said:
'Let me see. When you were about
II years old you went to school in a
room with about forty other pupils.
You were fond Of singing, and especial
ly Of part singing. Your teacher was
also fond of part songs. Though you
preferred to sing soprano, your voice
was SO low that you could carry the
alto. There were not more than three
others in the room who could also
sing alto, and none Of them sang as
well as you. Still, though there were
SO few Of you, you sang with such
enthusiasm and love for singing that
1t was always a delight to you and
YOUR teacher, and with your aid the al
tos could be heard in sufficient strength
to balance the sopranos. You always
had part songs at the exhibitions
and you led the altos in them"

woman. However did you find that

had so often made from roots ana
herbs for such of her women neigh
bors and friends who were sick and
ailing. Its success in those cases had
been wonderful-its fame had spread.
and calls were coming from miles
around for this efficacious vegetable
compound
They had no money. and little
credit Their first laboratory was the
kitchen. where roots and herbs were
STEPPED on the stove, gradually hlllnS

question of selling it, for always De-
fore they had given it away free-
They hired a job printer to run ON
some pamphlets setting forth the mer-
it's of the medicine, now called LYDIA
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and these pamphlets were distributed
by the Pinkham sons in Boston, New
York and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties or
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts, the
family had saved enough money to
commence newspaper advertising on
small scale, and from that time the
growth and success of the enterprise
was assured, until to-day Lydia e.
Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound
have become household words every
where, and thousands of pounds OF
roots and herbs are used annually in
making this great remedy for wOman'S
ills.
Although Lydia e. Pinkham passed
to her reward some years ago, the per-
petuatiOn of her great work wao
guarded by her foresight.
During her long an5 eventful expert
ence she was ever methodical in her
work and was careful to preserve a
record OF every case that came to her
attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were thousands-received
careful study, and the details. includ-
ing symptoms, treatment and results,
were recorded for future reference.
and to-day these records, together with
thousands made since, are available to
sick women the world over. and repre-
sent vast collaboration of informa-
ton regarding the treatment of Wom-
ans ills which, for authenticity and
accuracy, can hardly be equaled in any
library in the world.
Another act of foresight on the part
of Lydia e. Pinkham was to see that
some one of her family was trained to
carry on her work, and with that end
in view, for years before her DEATH
had as her chief assistant her daugh-r
ter-in-law, the present Mrs. Pinkham.,
Therefore, under the guidance and
careful training of Lydia E. Pinkham,
and a vast experience of her own,
covering twenty-five years. the present
Mrs. Pinkham is exceptionally well
equipped to advise sick women, which
she is always glad to do free OF
charge.
The record Of Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegeta BILE Compound, made of simple
herbs and roots, is proud and peer
less one. 1t is a record of constant
over the obstinate iIis Of
women, greater than that of any other
one medicine of its kind in the world,
and will ever stand as monument to
that noble woman whose name 1t
bears.
