and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkha1n,
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
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 az 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-
T 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. It's length and severity were toe
much for the large real estateinterests
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'F
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.
The three sons and the daughter
with their mother, combined forces te

ROAD TARRING.
It Is Carried on on a Large Scale in
France.

Road-tarring on a large scale has
been seen in France during the prep
aration for the Grand PriX race. The
tarring is carried out on the Lassail-
ly system by the use of the most inn
proved apparatus for heating the tar
and applying it to the surface of the
road. Commenced on the 25th of May,
the operation lasted scarcely ten days
for the 500, 900 square yards which
were covered, employing two gangs,
each made up of six drivers and eight
horses, together with eight men for
spreading the tar, counting the men
needed for sanding the road after the
tarring. A fine road is the result Of
this operation, says the Scientific
American, and it shows that by the
use of the proper apparatus a large
extent of road can be treated within
a short time and with a small amount
Of labor. At the last moment the ex-
cess of sand which covers the layer of
tar will be swept off by the four
sweeper wagons employed by M. Las
sally, when the cars will be able to
run under ideal conditions. Such a
process, far from being an extra ex.
pense, is now recognized as an actual
economy, seeing that the cost of keep.
ing up the road becomes much less,
and this pays for the tarring ex.
penses, and may even exceed the lat
ter, as has been found during a long
series of observations made in France.

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 or the stove,
gradually filing 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 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 a 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-
dav 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 rs 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 everyease 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 a vast ~collabora-
ton 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
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, ane
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia e. Pinkham dropped hel
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham
now the mother of a large family, tool
it up. With women assistants, some a
capable as herself, the present Mrs

and the fitting monument to the nobl'

FARM NOTES..

If farm conditions are not ideal, it
is in the power of the agriculturists
to make them 80.
For cutting bands, in ~threshing
time, an old section off a mower, rivet.
ed to a piece of wood about eight
inches long, works fi%rst-rate.
Taking the country as a whole, and
averaging the various crops, one
thing is sure-the harvest is a very
encouraging one, with no signs OF
famine ahead.
Drive a stake down good and solid
put some fat stones around it and
stack the beans about it. Put the
roots nearest to the poles. Press the
stalks down well and cover over with
a bit Of oiEcloth If the weather Is bad.

LINCOLN. June 2.-(Special Telegram)
Creighton university annexed the conege
base ball championship of the state to-
day, defeating Nebraska university for the
second time this season, to 3. The Corn
huskers gave an execrable exhibition in
the field, making nine misplays and liter
ally presenting the Omaha coilegians with
all of their runs Creighton, on the other
hand, played perfect ball, not an error be-
ing charged against them. bort and Ian
igan were both in superb pitching form.
The Cornhusker twirler was especially ef-
fective. whiting fourteen Creighton bats
men on strikes, but his own poor throwing
to the bases gave the visitors most of
their scores and would have beaten him
even with better support by his team
mates. Nebraska landed on Lanigan for
five hits in the eighth. scoring three
earned runs but Creighton was then so
far in the lead that the Issue was beyond
all question.
The game was played at the Western
league park, being witnessed by 800 spec
tators, the latter including $50 Creighton
students, who came from Omaha on a
special train and gave the most consistent
exhibition of college roofing witnessed in
Lincoln for many a day. The score:
