and Investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic uslure.
In 1s43 she married Isaac PinkhaTn,
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 Won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics Of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinlxham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature 50
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 q rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
Hart 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
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn Its1ength 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. Pink1aan's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.
The three sons and the daughter,
with their mother. combined forces to

The furrier was taking his stock out
Of the mothproof cold storage-room.
1t came forth frozen stiff, and coated
with glistening white frost. But there
was one beautiful skin that, though
just as stiff as any of the others, had
no frost on it.
1T IS easy to talk about furs.,' said
the dealer, but I want you to look
at this skin. It is the kind that the
richest Russian grand dukes and SO
on. have their overeoat collars made
of.

BEST FOR A COLLAR

1T is q sea offers skin, and it Is
so expensive that often one coat col
lar of it will cost $500 1t is unques-
tionab1y the best skin in the world to
make coat collars of.
Why? Look at this one, and you'll
see. All the other skins are covered
with frost, while on this fur no trace
whatever appears. And that's the rea-
son why sea otter skins make the
best coat collars. The breath, for
some unknown reason, doesn't freeze
on them.

ALASKAN CABLE IS BUSY.
ias 10 BE DupIexed and 200 More
Miles Added.

Few people who have not been over
the ground have any conception of the
wonderful development of Alaskan N
terests and trade. For instance, tne
commercial receipts from the Alaskan
cable and telegraph lines for the
month of July amounted to S2z,oee-
The rapid increase in the demands
upon the system will be met by the
government by duplexing the cable.
The cable ship Burnside, which is
to install the duplexing apparatus at
the Alaskan end of the cable, viii
carry about 200 miles of new cable
for the extension of the service to
Ketchikan. This extension will be
effected by tapping the lines from Sit
that point branch line will be e1-
tended down the Wrangel, then to
Hadley on Prince of Wales island. and
then to Ketchikan, which is only so
miles from Fort Simpson, the English
town which is to be the terminus OF
the Grand Trunk and Pacific railroads.
1t is believed that this additional
200 miles of cable will largely increase
the cable receipts, as it taps a coun-
try rich in mines, fishery and canning
industries and greatly in need of daily
communication with the United
States. It lie expected that this new
line will be completed by November 1.

sMoor 70 EIGHT EoR cANTEEN.

While the senate is deciding whether Senator
Smoot Of Utah. shall retain his seat in that BODY
the senator himself will be urging upon his col
leagues the passage of bill providing for the re
establishment of the army canteen, when ne
intends to introduce early next December
& have little reputation to lose among the
women of the country the senator says, so It
seems that l may as well be the champion OF
what each and every representative in congress
believes should be done I think they all agree
with the officers Of the army that the antican-
teen law is unWise. But because of public sent1-
ment they all are afraid to come out and urge its
repeal
Any well defined effort to secure the repeal
of the anticanteen law is certain to bring down
upon congress an avalanche OF protests from the
women of the country It was the women who
compelled the abolition of the canteen, and it is
deferred the congressman from doing anything IN
ton as recommended by army officers

The prejudice against the uniform,
when it takes the form Of refusing its
wearers admission to public places 81
amusement, whether or not it may be
justified by experience, is a bad thing
for the navy It is difficult enough
now to secure enlistments for that
service, says the Boston Herald. It
will be still more difficult if it becomes
widely known that wearers of the uni
form are subject to hostile social dis.

young men Of the shops and farms,
conscious Of such prescription, win

1t is reported from Shanghai that
for the first time in its history China
will abandon its traditional policy and
emit coins bearing the efigy OF the
emperor. In fact, it is said silver
supees and half rupees have already
been struck bearing the likeness OF
Kuang-su. The reason given is that
the circulation of money adorned with
the head Of Edward VII. has material
ly increased British prestige IN Thibet
and the Chinese government wishes TO
offset this.

wlPlNe our THE eovERNMENT DEFICIT.

Probably the happiest man among the de.
partment officials in Washington at this time is
Assistant Secretary James B. Reynolds of the
treasury. Mr.. Reynolds is a Massachusetts man,
and his duties as assistant secretary give him
especial charge of the customs branch of the
government. Under the direction of Mr.. Rey-
nods, the customs revenues collected and
the intricate details of the operations of the tariff
law directed, in order to bring the greatest
possible returns and safeguard the public inter-
est, as well as domestic industries, from the at
tacks of ingenious and ambitious foreign traders
Assistant Secretary Reynolds is of the opin-
ion that his branch of the government is pretty
nearly the whole thing at this time. The much
abused tariff law, under the direction of the Gus
toms experts Is producing revenues sufficient to
save the nation from a deficit Last year the
