and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham.
q 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 physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained a won
derfu1 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-
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-
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 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.

NOTES OF THE SIXTH.
During the latter part of March the
cadet company that is an adjunct to
Company G. of the Sixth Infantry. at
Bakersfield, gave it's second annual
masquerade ball, which was attended
by large number of the people Of that
place and by nearly all or the members
of Company G.
The Sentinel of Hanford, in speaking g
of the recent inspection of Company I
of the Sixth Infantry, located at that
place, pays the following compliment
to Major wilhelm Getired), U. S. A.,
the inspector in chief during the cur
rent year for the War Department and
for the State: He certainly knows his
business. The striking feature of his
work as seen by layman is that he is
so kind and unassuming. The notion
prevails among many, and there is
cause for 1t, too, that one invested with
a little brief authority in military af-
fairs is pompous and overbearing. Not
so with Major Wilhelm. He is as kind
and as good as mother and does not
seek to humiliate a guardsman who is
doing his best. but rather kindly ad-
vises him how to do things. The many
who were present, as well as all the
members of the company, were i'm
pressed with the splendid manner OF
the old regular army man who was the
chief of inspection on Saturday night"

The department has secured a large

BEER DRINKING IN GERMANY.

The British consul at Munich reports
that the brewing industry of Bavaria Is
responsible for about one third of the
entire production Of beer IN the German
empire. There are over 10000 brewers
in Bavaria, who last year manufactured
3g2, 402. 200 gallons of beer and exported
$500, 400 gallons. The production and
the exports were practically the same
as in the preceding year. Twelve OF
the companies paid no dividends and
the average distribution of the rest
was about So per cent, or one-fourth
per cent less than I'm the preeedog
year. In the whole OF Germany there
are 4s6 brewing companies, whose pro-
duction is 6i9, S75, 100 gallons, and whose
average dividend is ~ per cent. In
Munich the consumption of beer is
still very large though in the last sew
en- years II has fallen from about 100
to about 20 gallons per head. IN the
German empire 1t Is computed that the
annual drink bill amounts to s729,975,-
