their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children. three sons and q
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 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 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-

and prepare simple and effective medi-

that her compound relieved and cured

All this so far was done freely, with.

labor Of love.
But in 1878 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were toe

of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen-

of income had to be found.

the Farmer and the Auto.

Some years ago. soon after auto
mobiles began to be used throughout
the United States, an agent for New
York house turned up at a village in
Central New York. He expatiated to
an old farmer upon the virtues Of the
new machine, dwelling upon what
time saver it was. and withal how
fashionable it would be for the farmer
to be able to ride down to the village
on one Of the new-fangled machines
whenever he wanted to.

The farmer thought he needed COW
more than an auto, but finally agreed
to let the agent bring over one of his
machines. When the agent returned
with it some days later the farmer
took him in charge and carried him out
to the lot and showed him a fine Jersey

Washington, D. Can almost I'M
precedented number of casualties to
railroad employees throughout the coun-
try occurred during the last three
months of last year, according to the
accident bulletin for that period issued
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. The number of persons killed in
train accidents during the quarter as
shown in reports made by the railroad
companies tosthe commission under the
Accident law was 800, and of injured
3797 Accidents of other kinds, includ-
ing those sustained by employees while
at work and by passengers getting on
or off the cars, etc, bring the total
number of casualties up to 1S,227-1109
killed and 17,119 injured
The reports deal only with passen-
gers and employees on duty and take
no account of the hundreds killed and
MANNED at crossings, etc
There were 2077 collisions and 1915
derailments, of which 267 collisions
and 1873 derailments affected passenger
trains. The damale to cars, engines
and roadways by these accidents
amounted to $2,S17,294
The Commerce Commission points
out that the list Of casualties for the
quarter is larger in nearly every item
than during the preceding quarter. 1t
attributes this partly to the increase in
traffic, Lut largely to the fact that new
and untried men were entrusted with
dangerous duties, and that employees
of all classes were kept on duty for
many hours beyond reasonable day.

DRAGGED TO SEA BY SHARKS
California Fisherman Nearly Drowned in Exciting Encounter with
 Two 800 Founders.

|. Venice, Cal.--Dragged into the ocean by two 300-pound sharks, both of which took the hooks on his line at the same time. and pulled through the water at terrific pace, was the strange experience of w. D. Monroe while fishing on the Windward avenue pier. Monroe was rescued by fisher men who went to his aid and both fish were captured and brought to land.
 Monroe had been engaged in his store during the day. About four o'clock he went on the pier and threw in long silk trolling line with num- Der of hooks attached. He had tho line wrapped around his arm. with a large coil at his feet. The two fish evidently took the hooks at exactly the same moment. for with terrific jerk Monroe's feet came from under him and he was pulled over the railing. Although an excellent swimmer, the force with which the man was drawn through the water took his breath away, and had he not been carried against one of the floats installed for the wave motor on the pier would have been carried beyond reach of rescue. He managed to hold to the float while friends clambered to his aid. They also took the line and skilfully played the sharks until they brought them to shore.
 "It was narrow escape" said Mon- roe, land I don't believe care for another like it. It is true I got the sharks, and that somewhat pays for the experience. They are of common variety and others of the same kind have been landed here in the past"

The queen had been deposed five years before, when provisional | government was formed to keep things going till annexation could be brought about. R. E. D.-I would like to enter the West Point military or the Annapolis naval school; how can I learn de- tails? Is there any salary paid, or would have to pay? And what is the length of term? (2) What ma terials shall I use to secure a current of electricity strong enough to fur nish two electric lights? A. Appointments to these schools Iare made by senators and congress men, and you can apply to your mem- Der of congress for particulars. At West Point the term of enlistment is four years, and the pay is $609.50 a year. At the naval academy the term is six years and the pay is $500 year. Pay begins at date of enlist ment in both cases. (2) Ordinary dry cells such as can be bought at hardware or electrical stores will generate a current sufficient for a very small light. For ordinary or large lights an electrician says the formula is quite intricate, depending entirely on the size of light.
 -p--,. -~s
 Subscriber-What were the Henry letters, the X. Y. E. papers, and the Mecklenburg resolutions? (2) What secret organization was formed among the soldiers after the revolu. tion? after the rebellion? and what was the object of each?
 A. An attempt was made by three French agents. disguished as X, Y and z, to bribe an American embassy consisting of c. c. Pinckney, Mar shall and Gerry; the correspondence was disclosed in 179S. Possibly this is what you refer to as the x. Y. z. papers. The Mecklenburg declara- tion, so-called, was declaration of independence from England, said to have been made by the citizens of Mecklenburg county, N. C., at Char lotte, May 20 tor 3n, 1775. I can not even guess what is meant by the Henry letters. CD Many secret so- cieties sprang into existence after the revolutionary war, and it is use- less to make guesses as to which you refer to. The most notable society following the rebellion was the ku- klux-klan, formed in the southern states with the object of intimidat- ing negroes, carpet-baggers and "scallawags," and to prevent them from political action.
