PHOTOGRAPHY AND FINE ART,
Camera Pictures Much Mere Than Me
 chanicai Reproduction.

Few persons could be found who would deny the claims O. photography to rank among the fine arts, when skillully used and properly controlled, since the photography of of today Is something more than a mechanical re- production. The individuality of the photographer is being expressed in his work almost as much as is that of the painter. The painter still has the advantage, for while he may give us an impression fuller than that made by nature upon the eye, the photographer can deal only with that which is ob- served with such unerring fidelity and skill by a mechanical eye. Compost ton is therefore one of the necessary principles to the photographer, who thus supplies the mechanical eye with . mind, yet he must study lighting at different hours of the day and varying weather conditions that he may know the best effects to be obtained. Many otherwise successful photographers need to realize that scientific accuracy Is not necessarily artistic truth, so that, while one actualizes, the definite sharpness may be softened anu the ef- feet ennanced.-Home Magazine.

Checked Attempt at Monopoly.

Trusts were sometimes dealt with summarily in old England. For in- stance, the records of the Brewers company show that lon Monday, July 30, 1422, Robert Chichele, the mayor of London, sent for the masters and IF of the most worthy of our company to appear at the Guildhall for selling dear ale. After much dispute about the price and quantity of malt. wherein Whityngtone, the late mayor. declared that the brewers had ridden into the country and forestalled the malt, to raise it's price, they were convicted in the penalty of a2o ($1o0), which ob- jecting to, tho masters were ordered to be kept in prison in the chamber lain's custody until they should pay 1t, or find security for the payment thereof"

restore the family fortune. They argued that the medicine which was so good for their woman friends and ncighbors was equally good for the women of the whole world.
 The Pinkhams had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herbs were steeped on the stove, gradually filling a gross of bottles. Then came the question of selling it, for always before they had given it away. freely. They hired a job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merits of the medi- cine, now called Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and these were distributed by the Pinkham sons in Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
 The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to great extent, self-advertising, for whoever used it recommended it to others, and the de- mand gradually increased.
 In 1877, by combined efforts the fam fly had saved enough money to com mence newspaper advertising and from that time the growth and success of the enterprise were assured, until to-
 
 table Compound have become house. hold words everywhere, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annu- ally in its manufacture.
 Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not live to see the great success of this work. She passed to her reward years ago, but not till she had provided means for continuing her work as effectively as she could have done it herself.
 During her long and eventful expe- rience she was ever methodical in her work and she was always careful topre- serve a record of every case that came to 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 hundreds of thousands made since, arc available to sick women the world | over, and represent a vast collabora- tion of information regarding the treatment of woman's ills, which for authenticity and accuracy can hardly be equaled in any library in tho world.
 With Lydia F.. Pinkham worked her daughter in law. the present Mrs. Pinkham. She was carefully instructed in all her hard-won knowledge, and for years she assisted her in her vast correspondence.
 To her hands naturally fell the direction of the work when it's origina- tor passed away. For nearly twenty five years she has continued it, and nothing in the work shows when the first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham, now the mother of a large family, took it up With women assistants, some as capable as herself, the present Mrs. Pinkham continues this great work and probably from the office of no other person have so many women been ad- vised how to regain health. Sick wo- men, this advice is "Yours for Health" freely given if you only write to ask for it.
 Such is the history of Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound made from simple roots and herbs the one great medicine for women's ailments, and the fitting monument to the noble ], woman whose name it bears

NEW YEARS CALLS.
A New Drink to Replace the oId-Time
 "Apple-Jack."

Twenty-Five years ago the custom or making New Years calls was a de- lightful one for all concerned, until some of the boys got more "egg-nog or apple jack" than they could sue cessfully carry.
 Then the ladies tried to be charit- able and the gentlemen tried to be as chiyalrons as ever and stand up at the same time.
 If anyone thinks there has not been Considerable improvement made in the last quarter of a century in the use of aicoohlic beverages. let him stop to consider, among other things. the fact that the old custom of New Years calls and the genteel tippling is nearly obsolete.
 The custom of calling on ones Friends, however, at the beginning or the new year, is a good habit, and an other good habit to start at that tune Is the use of well-made Postum in- stead of coffee or spirits.

BABY'S AWFUL HUMOR,
Thin Skin Formed Over Body and Un. der IL Was Watery Elood-Cured in
 One Week by Cuticura Remedies.

When my little girl baby was one week old she had a skin disease. A thin skin formed over her body and under it was watery blood, and when she was washed 1t would burst and break. She was in that condition for weeks, and tried everything l could think of, but nothing did her any good. When she was three months old took her to San Antonio to see a doctor, but the doctor we wanted to see was not at home, so my sister gave me cake of Cuticura Soap and half box of Cuticura Ointment, and told me to use them, which I did in time. l used them three times, and the humor began to fade, and in one week she was sound and we'll, and it has never returned since. l think every mother should keep the Cuti. eura Remedies in the house.

and Investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of wonderfully sympa- thetic nature.
 In 1s4a she married Isaac Pinkham, builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and . 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 won- derful knowledge of the curative prop critics of the various roots and herbs.
 Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so beautifully 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
  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. tion of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu. liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink. | 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 a labor of love.
 But in 1873 the financial crisis strucl, 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. nial year dawned it found their prop. erty swept away. Some other source of income had to be found.
 At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was made known to the world.
