letin from the Maryland experiment:

Suppose that the soil about this vine
is hilled. The result is that the pota.

make is so clear that further discus.

| must admit, however, that killing
the potato field with a shovel pillow the
last time through may have some ad.
vantages, particularly during a wet
season-the surface potatoes are bet.
ter covered, perhaps, and the soil will
dry out quicker. Concerning the for.
mer advantage I think that the farmer
should endeavor to select the potato
that grows down and thus avoid sun
burns.

vent the moisture getting away. The
dust mulch is a great benefactor to
the farmer in dry districts. BY USING
1t carefully, enough moisture is re-

tricts of Colorado to grow good crops.
The secret of the Campbell system OF
soil culture, explains Farm and Home,
is to retain what moisture is received
by the soil and allow very little to es-
cape by evaporation. This Is entirely
possible and the great results attend
ing this work are sufficient proof of its
success.

English Language in Antwerp

Nearly one-half of the shipping traf-
fic to and from Antwerp is carried on
under the British and American flags,
and this has made Antwerp almost an
English-speaking port. Free night
schools for exclusive classes in Eng.
fish, organized by the city authori.
ties, are attended by thousands of
pupils, while special attention is paid
to the study of English in all the
grades of the day schools, public as
well as private. This desire to pop
ularize the English language is not
confined to Belgium, but has extended
to Germany as we'll, where schools of
instruction have already been estab-
lished at Munich and Nuremberg by
the German government.

cULTIVATING THE POTATO.
The Merits of Level as Against Hill
Cultivation-Better for Dry
Weather.

There are two distinct ways of cul-
tivating the potato-level and hill cul-
tivation. The latter is the older meth.
cd and many farmers still follow this
plan, irrespective of the possible value
of level cultivation. l believe that a
good deal depends upon the year and
the kind of potatoes planted. l have
found, however, says a Will county
Ill.) correspondent of the Prairie
Farmer, that l get just as satisfactory
results from level cultivation as I used
to get from killing, besides l have the
advantage of keeping my ground in
better condition.

and Investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1S43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
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 W 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 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 1t became quite popular among
them.
All this SO far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as q
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 1t 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

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
SO good for their oma friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no one and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were stepped on the stove,
gradually filling a gross of bottles.
Then zane 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 SOM 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
ohAdu ClAuC Tx RIoWUu duu SuCC6SS VI
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 W methodical in her
work and she was always careful t opre-
serve a 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 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 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 a large family, took
1t up. With women assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this greatwork, and
probably from the Office Of no other
person have SO many women been ad-
vised how to regain health. Sick wo-
men, this advice is "Yours for Healthn

for it.

woman whose name IT bears.

friends to see the beautiful ceremony,
which included hymns and chants by
a full vested choir. The ceremonies
ended with the browning of the couple
with flowers.
And Cupid had come out victor
again.
Love God at Work in Hospital.
The doctors shook their heads. The
lad that lay on the operating table be-
fore them was pretty far gone. He
had gangrenous appendicitis, and the
poison had already set in.
One chance in a hundred" said the
operating surgeon as he prepared the
instruments and motioned to his as
sistants to administer the anaesthetic.
"And now, Miss Vanhorn, if you
please" he said, turning to a pretty
trained nurse who stood ready to help.
Soon the ether had done its work
and the knives began. An hour later
Carl A. Jaeger, the patient, was back
in bed, slowly coming out of the in
fuence of the anaesthetic. At his
side sat the trained nurse, Miss Van
horn, with a look of concern upon her
fair face, for the case was very grave.
Would the young mans temperature
slowly fall and recovery set in? Or
would his heart give out under the
tremendous strain of the ether and
the shock, and he pass away as a
tale that is told?
The young man stirred and moaned.
The nurse famed his forehead, bead
ed with cold drops of sweat. He
moaned again. She watched him as
closely as a cat watches a mouse.
He slowly came back to conscious
ness.
I'm thirsty" he moaned.
The nurse gave him a spoonful of
hot water. A full drink of the cold
water he craved might have meant
death just then. When he asked for
food he got a sip of milk, nothing
more.
The days went by and the young
man slowly improved. Finally the
surgeon made his last visit.
Young man," said he, you owe
your life to your nurse, not to me-"
That was a year ago. Cupid, the
cunning rogue, got in his work at
nee. Young Mr.. Jaeger didn't want
to give up the acquaintance Of Miss
Vanhorn when he was discharged,
cured. He asked permission to call,
and got it. 1t doesn't take the wisdom
of a Solomon to guess the rest.

New York.-Within the space of a
brief few days, Cupid has played more
pranks than the most romantic school
girl could ever c~onjure up in her
widest dreams!
He has brought together an Amer
lean mining engineer and a Grecian
countess at the mouth of a Mexican
mine. He has married off a rich
young fellow to the nurse who pulled
him through appendicitis. He has pre-
sided at a midnight Wedding at which
a dashing young naval officer and a
pretty chorus girl were the principals.
He has hired a special train so that
a New York millionaire's son could
marry a divorce in. another state.
And last of all, but not least, he has
arranged a wedding on the high seas,
outside the international three-mile
limit, so that an impatient young cou-
pie wouldn't have to wait two weeks
for the banns to be published, thus
single-handed setting aside the stern

was another wedding, according to the
full ritual of the orthodox Greek
church.
