Plaque Of CrocodiIes.

Says the Panang Gazette Of certain
conditions in the Malay peninsula:
'The number Of crocodiles in the
vicinity of Penang and Province We'll
lesley is on the increase. It seems
that fishermen who get them entan-
gled in their nets often release them
to prevent their nets from being dam
aged and to save themselves the trou-
BILE of killing them. The authorities
might offer rewards for the destruc-
ton of these reptiles, as was custom
airy few years ago"

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
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
ali 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 q
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-
niaI 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.
The three sons and the daughter,
with thei- mother, combined forces to

Words Louder Than Actions.

A prominent lawyer in Ohio who
was very eccentric always rubbed his
hands and went through several other
movements before speaking. One
day while in court younger lawyer,
after seeing him do this several times,
got up and did it, too, in a very slow
and deliberate manner, and after say
inc what he was going to sat down;
whereupon the older man got up and
said: "That young man acts like a
good lawyer, but he talks like fool"
