Astronomy, that science OF illimit4
able marvels. seems. even in its most
familiar phases. far remote from
mans everyday life. observes Col
lier's Weekly. Yet the English as
stronomer, Sir Norman Lockyer, has
recently established a fundamental
date in human history by simple
and fascinating application OF this
branch Of science. Stonehenges
wonderful rock architecture, he has
determined, was built as q sort of
primitive sacred observatory. There
in the priests of the sun worshiped,
publishing to their wild congrega-
lions the changes of the seasons.
More than mere priests and builders
were they. for their edifices were SO
designed that on the longest day
OF the year the midsummer sun
flashed the first ray OF its rising d.
rect upon the central altar. But IN
the slow procession OF the ages tho
celestial pole sweeps around a great
circle. and the midsummer days sun
veers by minute fraction OF degree
at each years rising. So, the beam
that illumined the solemn array Of
the astronomer-priests in that dim
twilight Of history. now falls nearly
degree aslant OF the ancient altar.
To estimate the time represented in
the variation is simple. It estab-
fishes the building of Stonehenge at
approximately 1850 B. c. Something
Of the wonder of the eternal ages is
in this determination; something.

In1s+3 she married Isaac Pinkham,

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

In those good old fashioned days Il
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-
perienoe many Of them gained won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took q great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature 90

fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; SO, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs

1t was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi.

Chief OF these was a rare combina-

and herbs found best adapted for the

that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this 20 far was done freely, with.
out money and without price, ~ a
labor of love.
But in 1879 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 it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
Of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia e. Pinkham's

Lydia e. Pirkham herself did not

to-day these records, together with

available to sick women the world
over, and represent a vast collabora-

treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the

With Lydia e. Pinkham worked her

FATE OF THE OLD ST. LOUIS.
The Second Oldest Ship in Our Navy
May Be Broken Up.

May Be Broken Up.
After years of buffeting by the
waters of many seas the one time re-
ceiving ship st. Louis lies in the Del
aware River at the foot of Catherine
street. Philadelphia, awaiting final
orders.
These may be to hand her battered
timbers over to unsentimental junk
dealers. or to preserve her as the old
est vessel, outside of the famous
Constitution, in Uncle Sans navy.
According to the Philadelphia Rec
ord, it is seventy-eight years since
the then proud frigate was launched
at Washington, where she had been
built for service in the Far East. At
that time she was regarded as one of
the best vessels in the young navy.
During the first ten years of her
service pirates were the pest of the
West Indies and the Pacific. The ST..
Louis. then one Of the swiftest YES
sells In the navy, was sent after the
men who sailed under the skull and
crossbones, and to her efforts is part
ly due the determination of the
looters.
On one occasion one of the rakish
crafts. closely pursued by the coming
Union Jack, ran aground on one Of
the large islands and her crew es-
capped to the wooded interior. Lieu
tenant Horton, gallant young officer
of that day. led cheering company
OF his men, armed with cutlasses and
pistols, to rout out the desneradoes.
Over hills and copse the chase con-
tinued, for mile, when the fleeing
buccaneers ambushed the pursuers
and pitched battle resulted. After
a fierce hand-to-hand combat the pi-
rates were all killed or captured and
the latter were hanged the following
day from the yardarm Of the st.
Louis.
At the time Of the naming OF the
st. Louis there was much opposition
to thus honoring a city of such small
Importance and size as that place was
then. Much discussion finally ended
In victory for the st. Louis partisans.
and 1t was only recently the Govern
ment changed her name to the Key
stone State, on account Of there being
another vessel in the navy called the
st. Louis. However. the new name
was hardly ever applied except In

At the meeting of the Fordyce Re-

club rooms in the Mccormick build

ization permanent. There was a good
attendance and not one seemed the
least discouraged over the defeat at
the recent primaries.
1t was decided to change the name
of the club to the Republican Good

meet running expenses, monthly dues
were fixed at 25 cents. A recanvass
of the members will be made to see
if they wish to continue their MEM
bership under the new order.
The organization will remain with
in the republican party, but will
stand by the new idea" platform
and will do all it can to spread the
cause of reform suring the coming
year.

Mr.. Pfeiffer Returns II to Board of
Aldermen Without Approval
or Comment.
ACTION STILL STANDS.
The Resolution Was Passed by COun-
Gil at the Previous Meeting by a
Vote of s to 2 and the Acting May
or's Non-Approval Has the Same
Effect as Would Approval-Two
Questions to BE Voted on This Fall

City Clerk Macmillan reported at
the meeting of the Board of Alder
men last night that Acting Mayor
Pfeiffer had returned without ap-
proval or comment the resolution
passed at the previous meeting by a
vote of 5 to 2, granting the petition
of the members of the police force
to have the question of accepting the
bill passed by the state Legislature for
a schedule of increase in salaries,
placed on the ballots at the coming
election, to be voted upon by the peo-
pie. The non-approval of the act
ing mayor will not nullify the resolu-
ton. Those who voted against it at
the previous meeting were Alderman
at Large Pfeiffer and Alderman
Grouse. AT the meeting before that
the vote was to 2, and was not suffi-
cient, according to the law, which re-
quired vote of majority of the
whole council.
There will thus be two questions
on the ballots at this years elections,
the matter of having an appointive or
elective school board, as now, and the
police pay question.

Miss McCreery and Miss POuI-

While Near South Beach.
MISSED THEIR FOOTING.
Five Local Girls and Five Young Men
From New Brunswick Had Thrill

urc of Pleasure Trip Around Staten
Island--Landed at South Beach.

While five local young women were
out in a launch with five young men
from New Brunswick, two of the
young women had a thrilling eXper-
ience, falling overheard near South
Beach, Staten Island, Sunday. They
were rescued with some difficulty, but
have now entirely recovered from the
effects of their adventure.
The New Brunswick young men
were Harry Blaine, Thomas Flavel,
Henry Robinson, Harry Winkler and
Paul Groban. They had invited the
Misses Mary McCreery, Kathryn Nc
Creery, Paula Poulson, Bessie Rud-
olph and Freda Starken to accompany
them on a sail around Staten Island.
The young women accepted the invi-
tation and Joined the young men on
their launch here at II o'clock Sun
day morning. The start was made
at once, and they proceeded without
mishap until they were opposite
South Beach.
Some of the party were on the deck
of the launch, and others were in the
cabin. Miss Kathryn McCreery and
Miss Paula Poulson were standing on
one side of the launch all unmindful
of danger, when the movement of
someone in the cabin caused the for
mer to turn around.
She miscalculated, however, and,
instead of stepping forward placed
one foot too near the edge. Miss
Poulson, hearing a scream, turned in
time to see her companion falling
overheard. She tried to save her by
grabbing her clothing, but Miss Poul-
son also missed her footing, and, In
less time than it takes TO tell 1t, botf
were soon struggling in the water
which luckily was very shallow.
Their cries brought the male mem
bers of the party to the rescue, and
with the aid of boat hooks and ropes
the dripping young women were pull
ed into the boat Although thorough
| ly drenched, the plucky young women
were undaunted and looked on the
humorous side of the occurrence.
The launch was then put into South
Beach, where the wet garments OF
the young ladies were dried as well
as possible. Later the entire party
went to New Brunswick on the
launch, where they were entertained
al the club house. The young women
returned to this city by trolley.
