Danger in Pigtails.

Chinese pigtails, which are imported
into Europe in packages of / 900 pounds
each, were recently the subject of court
proceedings in England. A laborer who
was employed in preparing camel's hair,
cheap foreign wool and human hair had
been taken sick with fatal Inflammation
of the spleen (milzbrand) In order to
fix the cause it was ascertained that
the pigtails, after being cut off the heads
of Cinnamon, were at once braided and
backed The possibility exists that the
hair came from the head of a China
man who suffered from the plague or
some other contagious disease. Two
previous cases of "milzbrand" have &C.
Cured among the workingmen of the
English establishment 1t is therefore
indicated that these pigtails should be
closely examined under the microscope
and the result may be to prohibit their
importation.

ana Investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of wonderfully sympa,-
thetic nature.
In 1913 she married Isaac Pinkhan,,
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 diseaye
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

pressly designed to cure the various

Chief Of these was a rare combine

and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia z Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and eured
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 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 z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known

Trees Becoming Scarce

1t is almost an instinct with descend
ants of the earlier settlers of this coun-
try that trees are to be got out of the
way so as to make land for cultivation
Until recently there were too many
trees and clearing land was one of the
hard, necessary tasks. Now the condi-
ton is different, says the Hartford
Conn Times, but the old feeling that
there are always plenty of trees fingers,
and with it the notion that little ex-
ira labor in cutting and hauling timber
Sc as to preserve the forest is sheer
waste of time. But the forests are dis
appearing in some places where they are
much needed and they do not return fo'
a long time when they have been cut
clean.

The Theatre to-day.

If we are sure of anything in this world
OF unchanging change, it is that the nine
teenth century gave US in music and drama
three absolutely new forms. The piano
music of Chopin, as to harmony and struc-
ture (Ballades, Scherzos, Preludes and Studies)
the music drama of Wagner; and at least
two plays of Maurice, Maeterlinck, "Pelleas
and Melisande" and "The Death of Tinta-
giles" These were quite new; their like
had not been seen or heard before Ibsen,
the thunderer, did not originate a new dra-
matte form; his prose plays formally con-
sidered may be traced to Sophocles,, even
to Scribe. But Maeterlinck gave us novel
dramatic sensation, and while it is the criti-
really happens in them; that is, we feel
it happening though we do not always see
the action. With Maeterlinck the drama is
a sixth sense; he divines, rather than creates
types of energy.
And so the reaction against the spineless
play is beginning. We are weary of these
opened foodgates of conversation, of dia-
logue that merges into the monologue of
the agtator. The same old human stuff is
scattered around us, and the dramatist, wary
of the wind of public favor, is going back
to it. Pinero's last success may be a sign
of the times. 1t was the fashion to fout
such strong specimen of stage architecture
as "rhe Gay Lord Quex," yet what solace
it would be to-day IN the midst of all this
shallow Characterization, this shaky drawing
and melodramatic daubing! The epigram
play was revived by Oscar Wilde; it bids
fair to die with Mr.. Shaw. Mr.. Pinero,
whose beaver shaped brow indicates his
beaver-llke proclivity for design and structure
in his dramas, will outlast a wilderness of
the wits, sentimentallsts and rhapsodists.
No art is so narrow in its formal scope,
no art imposes SO many restrictions upon
its practitioners, as the art of the theater.
And one is tempted to add that if Pinero
is dramatist, then what are the rest, these
men OF epigram and fancy? Literary they
are, but ramatists-!-James Huneker in
the April Metropolitan Magazine.

restore the family fortune. Thew
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 gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
it away freely They hired a lob
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the msdi-
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 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 veQe-
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 wears
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 record of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were housands-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 large family, took
1t up. With women assistants, some az
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"

prince that NJ. Leger, an engineer OF
the principally, has built one of tho
most curious flying machines ever con-
structed.
The apparatus consists principally
of two enormous two-bladed screws, or
propelers, about 20 feet in diameter,
and made of sheet ALUMINIUM. These
screws, which revolve on common
shaft, turn in contrary directions AMI
are driven by two dynamos of 100
horsepower. The axis on which the
propellers turn is inclined in an
Oblique direction, so that when the
screws revolve a forward movement is
impaired to the machine.
When the machine was completed
the dynamos were set to work, but
no sooner had they attained a ten
horsepower than the great whirling
screws tore upwards so violently THAI
they snapped all the eight ropes re-
tanning the apparatus at a single pull,
though each of the ropes was capable
of sustaining the weight of a man.
Had not the power been shut off in
stantly, the whole affair would have
plunged through the shed roof and
into the Mediterranean. New and
stronger ropes have been attached,
and the prince of Monaco is now
awaiting the opportune moment to turn
on the full power and fly to victory
