A clever smuggling trick has been
played on a customs officer on the
RusSO-Gcrman frontier. An innocent
looking peasant reported to the officer
a plot for getting a large number of
pigs across the frontier The method,
he said, would he TO drive across at in
tervals Of half an hour, 3. 8. y and 200
pigs, the smugglers arguing that if the
first three lots could he sent over there
would be no trouble with the 200
The officer was naturally on the alert.
In accordance with the peasants state
ment three pigs were driven over, then
six, followed by twelve. All were al
lowed TO pass, and preparations were
made to receive the 200. But no more
pigs appeared. and the twenty-one ami
mails admitted had in the meantime
been lodged in safety.-Berlin Cor

Etiquette of Cannibalism.

"Even among the savages of French
Africa, who eat human flesh, there are
differences" said Paul Pucci. young
Italian traveller. "SOme while ago,
when exploring in that country, learn
ed a good bit about the ways of the
various tribes. In majority of them
cannibalism is INDUCED only when the
bodies are those of prisoners taken in
battle. 1t is all right TO eat persons
who belong to hostile clans, but it
would be a gross violation of tradition
and the custom of the land to feast
upon the friends or even upon mem
bers of the same tribe. This delicacy
of sentiment, however, is not universal,
and in one tribe in particular, where |
noted the absence of any old persons,
learned that 1t was the proper thing
to add the aged inhabitants to the To-
cal food supply. This confined the pop
ulation to the young and hardy, for
at the first signs of decrepitude the
boiling pot was called into requisi-
ton. ."-Washington Post.

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 on the stove,
gradually filling a gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
| it, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia Z. 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 il
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-
day Lydia f. Pinkham and her Vege.
table Compound have become house.

tons of roots and herbs are used annu.
all Y in its manufacture.
Lydia Z. 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 ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful TO pre-
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 vast collabora-
tion of information regarding the
treatment of womans ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly

world.
With Lydia f. 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 Z. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great work 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 Health"
freely given if you only write to ask
for it..
Such is the history of Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound made
from simple roots and herbs: the one
great medicine for women's ailments,
and the fitting monument TO the noble
woman whose name it bears.

submitted sketches of his idea for the

the monument wrote him, asking,

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In fs43 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 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
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
II 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-
tion 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 f. 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 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-
nial year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia f. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
TO the world.

The Ruling Passion Strong In Death.

The HulinE fnssiOn strong In Death.
The ruling passion of Edward |. Of
England was undoubtedly the pursuit
of his ideal of uniting all the British
islands under one rule. His great Oh
Stacle was Scotland. and the conquest
of Scotland, therefore, became a pas
sion with him. Stronger than years, il
sent him TO the head of the army when
he was fit only for sick bed, and
when he was at last compelled to
yield he sought TO make this passion
spur on his son by ordering that the
flesh should be boiled from his bones
and that his skeleton should be car
ried at the head of the army and re-
main unburied till Scotland was con
quered
This is the rnOst conspicuous instance
of the ruling passion strong in death"
on record, though many others would
be worthy of quotation. William Pitts
