In spite of the Saturday bank statement still showing a deficit, the hope was enter tained that the treasury relleI meas ures and the receipt of checks for large dividend payments made on Saturday would cause prompt relaxation to-day. Money at 14 per cent. early in the day chilled the speculative sentiment. Lat CT there was some relaxation apparent in the call money market until the final furry to the highest of the day. The

CHRISTMAS GOODS AT WYLIEs.

 The great throngs that now are trav- ersing Chapel street to see the attrac- tions in the way of appropriate Christ mas goods, cannot fail to pause be- fore the show windows of A F. Wvlie at S21 Chapel street, and view the be- wilderingly beautiful wares which are to be seen at that well known and popular establishment. Rich and rare goods in china, Doulton ware. cut glass, ,bric-a-brac, lamps and hundreds of elegant and artistic creations are included in the superb collection. No store in the line of goods which MT Wylie deals in can surpass his stock both as to quality and quantity. And n2 store in New England outside of Boston can equal it. In high grade imported wares it would be hard to find in any section another store like his, People who imagined it was nec- essary to go to New York to find just what they wanted have, after a vain and fruitless search, discovered that Wylie had the goods at the establish ment. Space forbids enumerating the hundreds upon hundreds of choice and high grade articles, including wares which would grace the table of a king, are in the list of attractions at Mylie's establishment.

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
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained a won

critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took great interest
in the study of roots and herbs. their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi
cines for her own family and friends
Chief of these was a rare combina
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu

hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as q
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were toe
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, SO when the Centen.
NAL year dawned it found their prop

of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinlkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known

amazement Cutting out the spleen
and the vermiform appendix because
nothing is known of their functions

practice-he looks on as the top notch
of professional frenzy. The professor
deplores the existing system of special

think that the practitioner who studies
the pathology of only single organ

others which go to make up the human
constitution. 1.-The man." he says,
"who devotes all his power Of work,
all his knowledge and capabilities, to

prairie dog and the ground squirrel,

With the long, blunt claws Of his fore

pended on it, now scratching out the
sides of the hole, then turning on his
back to work overhead.
At first he throws the dirt out be-

far down for that, so he banks it up

pusher shoves it out before him.
He works with such rapidity that it
