In Old New York,

1t is the custom of the New York
papers to sheer at the unsophisticated
doings of the people in other parts of
the country. Apparently, however,
judging from the revelations made in
the evidence of Col Mann in the libel
case now on trial, many of the most
prominent and wealthy men of the
metropolis were the easiest kinds of
easy marks for parties who merely
proposed to write them up favorably
or unfavorably, according as they paid
out their cash, generously or not. 1t
is marvellous to read how easy it was
to get large sums Of money ostensibly
as loans or in return for certificates
of stock whose value bore no proper
proportion to the money paid out.
That the leaders of New York society
should have been held up in this way
argues i'll for their common sense, and
at the same time shows the total lack
of real value to the utterances of the
so-called society journal-Pittsburg
Post.

and Investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1s43 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 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
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
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 rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pacu-
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 struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
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
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.
The three sons and the daughter,
with their mother, combined forces to

SWINGING ROCK FIRMLY FIXED.
South American Natural Wonder De.
fad Dictator If Arnenfine

South American Natural Wonder De.
fled Dictator Of Argentine.
One of the strangest of natural
wonders of South America, is the
swinging rock of Tandil (La piedra
hovediza), says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. The stone lies about half an
hours walk from the city of Tandf,
province Of Buenos Ayres, Argentine
Republic, upon the highest summit of
little rocky ridge. When seen from
the ravine 1t has the form of giant
pyramid, while from another view it
resembles an enormous cone. It is
twenty-one feet long and twenty-eight
feet high, and it's weight is judged to
be about 1880 hundredweight, or
about 627 tons. From the distance the
stone presents peculiar aspect. 1t is
so highly poised on the rocky slope
that it seems as if we were watching
stone roll down the hill and resting
for second upon very small base.
But when we approach this swinging
rock we are astonshed by new
wonder. We can set the stone in mo-
ton by merely pushing it with the
hand. Very often the traveller is
spared even the trouble of pushing
the stone, as the wind will cause it
to swing.
Early in the nineteenth century the
Argentine Republic was ruled by the
dictator Rosa with unparalleled CRUEL
ty for about twenty-five years. To
show his supreme power the tyrant
ordered that the stone be encircled
with ropes and many horses to be
harnessed to these ropes-but the
stone could not be moved one inch
from it's resting place.

Quoted to a Purpose.

The private secretary OF the emf

to the railway magnate, suggesting
that the eminent statesman would be

But the private secretary of the

Too Cheap.

An Omaha man who claims he can
live on nine cents day has received
hundreds of letters from women who
want to marry him. This seems to
prove the statement that there are a
great many women in this country
who would be glad to marry if they
could afford to support husband.
Many of these women presumably
earn almost enough to warrant them
in securing one of these luxuries, and
a man who can be fed for SO cents
week, or something like $3.50 a
month, strongly appeals to them.
At the same time Scent day man
seems to be too much of a bargain
to be really attractive to the careful
purchaser.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Rubber Prices Go Up.

1t is thought likely, says the Jour-
nal OF the Society of Arts, tina. the
present year may see considerable
further advance in prices for rubber,
but 1t may be expected that before
long the supply will be ample for all
demands. Not only are there i'm.
mense tracts Of rubber which remain
untouched in Liberia and elsewhere,
but the cultivation of the rubber tree
is being rapidly extended.

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
so good for their woman friends and
neighbors 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 stepped on the stove,
gradually filling gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired q job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia E. 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
lily had saved enough money to COM
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success of
the enterprise were assured, until to-
day Lydia e. Pinkham and her Vege.
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 to pre-.
serve 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
hundreds Of thousands made since, are
available to sick women the world
over, and represent q 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 the
world.
With Lydia E. 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
To her hands naturally fell the
direction of the work when its 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 large family, took
it up With woman 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 adj
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
whose name it bears.
