"When my little boy wn sir months
old he bad eczema. 'J'he sorca extended
o quickly over the whole body Hint we nt
once called in the doctor. We then went
to another doctor, but lie eou!d not help
him, and in our dcapair we went to a
third one. Matters became an bad -that
he had regular holea in hia cheeka, large
enough to put a linger into. The food
had to be given with a apoon, for hia
mouth wos covired with cruata aa thick
as a linger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and suppurate,
aa did nlao hia eyes. Hands, nrnis, cheat
and bick,,in abort, tho whole body, was
covered over and over. We had no rent
by day or night. Whenever be was laid
in his bed we had to pin his hands down,
otherwise he would scratch his face, and
make an open aore. 1 think hia face must
have itched moat fearfully.
"We finally thought nothing could help,
and 1 had made up my mind to aend my
wife with .he c'ild to Kurope, hoping that
the aea air might ru.-e him, otherwise he
was to lie put under ood medical care

differently, and we aoon saw a miracle. A

made a trial with Cuticurn Soap, Oint

or two weeks we noticed a decided im
provement, dust aa quickly as the sick

absolutely well, and his skin waa smooth

Gird Wat Removed.
A woman riiRhed Into n fashionable
millinery establishment which she bad
left only an hour before with a now
hat that cost her $75. She had re
turned to discard the elaborate head
gear. "Why, madam, what Is the trouble
with this hat?" the milliner asked.
"What la the matter?" gasped the
purchaser. "There Is much the mat
ter. Why, I would not wear that
again until that bird with the big wing
is removed or set in a different post
tlon."
"But that is the style," said the mil
llnor.
"Style or no style It has got to go,'
Raid the purchaser. "I will never weai
that hat until I can go about without
tho wings of birds sticking in the eyes
of men, and especially horrid men like
the horrid one that told me that 'one
bird in the bush is worth two in a
hat.' "
The bird in the hat was removed.
WHO SHE WAS
SKETCH OF THE LIFE
And a True Story of How the Vegetable Compound
Had Its Birth and How the "Panic of '73M Caused
It to be Offered for Public Sale in Drurr Stores.
This remarkable woman, whose
maiden name was Estcs, waa born in
Lynn, Mass., February ttth, lSIlt, coin
ing from a good old (Junker family.
For some years she taught school, and
became known as a woman of an alert
and invcatigatlnf mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa
thetic nature.
In 1S43 she married Isaac rinkham.
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life waa marked by
prosperity and happiness. 'Ibey hud
Tour children, three Hons and a
daughter.
Ia thoRO pood old fashioned doys It
waa common for mothers to liiuko
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, nature's own remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. iy tradition and ex
perience many of them gained a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop,
ertles of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Piukhum took a great interest
In the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nuture 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
prcusly designed to cure tho various
ilia aud weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleusure to search theie out,
and prepare simple and effective roedi
cities f -r her own family and friends.
Chief of thcuo was u rare combina
tion of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of tho ills and weaknesses pecu
liar to the female sex, nnd Lydia E. Pink
hum'o friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular amoug
them.
All thia so far was done freely, with
out money aud without price, as a
labor of love.
But in l&TS the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its lcrirrth and severity were too
much for tho large roul estate interests
of the Piukhum family, us this class
of business BuJTered moat from
fearful depression, to when thcCenten
nlal year dawnod it found their prop
erty swept awny. Some other source
of lucomo had to bo found.
At tlit. point Lyrtln E. Pinkham's
vegetable Compound wus made known

Stories Told of Prof. Park.
Prof. Park, so long tho especial
light at Andover Theological Semin
ary, when a young man studied in
Germany. His acute mind made hjm
the terror of the professors. The emi
nent Dr. Tholuck, aftor being driven
Into a corner in an argument with
the young American, exclaimed, "Now
I am sorry that Columbus discovered
America." (
When Prof. Park, at Andover, was
asked by a student the reason for the
tower of Pisa, he quickly answered:
"No doubt the contractor did not pay
his men promptly, so that they were
compelled to put a lean on the tow
er."
Prof. Park was very particular t
call his students by name. One da
he met a man by the name of Jones
Not wishing to betray the fact thai
he could not recall his name, he said:
"By the way, how do you spell youi
name?" The student with some sur
prise, exclaimed: "J-o-n-e-s. Is there
any other way of spelling it?"
Fixing a Funeral Date.
To Bhow how Implicitly people of a
generation ago trusted In the "Farm
ers' Almanac," the following story
was told by old Dr. Hunt, who for
many years faithfully served the
townspeople of Weston, Mass.
One of his patients had departed
this life, leaving a sorrowing spouse,
whom Dr. Hunt tried to comfort. In
the course of making the burial ar
rangements, he asked when she de
sired to have the funeral,
"Walt, doctor," said she; " we must
have it on a pleasant day." She hur
riedly searched the almanac, and the
day was set.
OF LYDIA E. PINKHAM
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 xteeped 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 a job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of tho medi
cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Plnkhum sons in
ilohton, New York, and Urooklvn.
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
mnnd gradually Increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam
ily 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 E Pink bam 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. Pir.'cham 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 bho was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pro
serve a record of every case thatcume 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
tion 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. Pinlcham worked her
daughter-in-law, the present Mrs.
Plnkham. She wascarefully instructed
in all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hards naturally fell tho
direction of the work When its origina
tor passed away. For nearly twenty,
five years she has continued it, arid
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia E. Piukhum dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. I'iukhuui,
now the niother of a large family, took
it up. With woman assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs,
Plnkham continues thia great work, and
probably from the ofilee of no other
person have so many women been ad-'
vised how to regain health. Kick wo
men, this advice U "Yours for Health"
freely given if you only write to ask
for it.
Such Is the history of Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound ; made
from simple roots aud herbs the one
great medicine for women's ailments,
and the fitting monument to the noble
woman whose name it bears.
Minister. Late Riser.
"Ministers is the latest risers. Doe
tors t omes next," said the cook.
She was entertaining the maids from
next door. As she bustled about get
ting the tea and cake ready she talked
incessantly, like a machine. The maids
listened, their eyes fixed on the colla
tion thai each moment grew more
tempting under her hand.
"Some ministers don't rise till 10,"
she said. "There's hardly one of them
that you'll find up by 8. IsMne or half
past is their average hour.
"You pee, they don't have no ofllre
to go to at a certain time. They have
no early appointments that must be
kept. They have no clerk that they
must look after. Consequence is. they
become the latest rlsln' class of men
on earth.
"I've worked around considerable In
my time. I've had forty-seven places,
all told. Borne has been with doctors,
some with business men and eleven
with ministers. The ministers Is the
best to live with. They are so con
siderate and generous and thev have
such perfect dispositions. it they
would only get quit of this lazy habit
of loafln" away the morning in bed
they'd be a class without a fault."
Pathos Between Lines.
John Mitchell, in a description nt
one of the historic coal strikes of the
last tentury, said:
"There Is a story of the privations of
these poor people that has a grim pa
thos In it. Its pathetic rather than its
humorous side makes the story worth
repeating.
"A child, during the strike, goes to
Mrs. Slmpklns on Monday morning and
says:
" 'Please, ma'am, my mother sent me
for the loan of your marrow bones to
make soup with.'
" 'Tell your mother,' Mrs. Slmpklns
replies, 'that Mrs. Murphy has them
to-day. and Mrs. McDcvitt Is promised
them for to-morrow, but 3he can have
them on Wednesday If phe'll return
them promptly, beln' as I want to
make soud myself on Thursday.'"
Haggard Reads Obituary.
Rider Haggurd tells a good story
about the premature publication of an
obituary notice of himself. Hearing
that a ballet based on "She" was to
be produced In Hungary, he wrote ask
ing for programmes and photographs.
A reply came that the manager was
shocked at the request, for he had
believed the Illustrious Herr Author
to be dead. ' Long obituaries bad ap
peared In the Hungarian journals.
Mr. Haggard then wrote and asked
that a contradiction might be circu
lated, but the manager reported that
the editors refused to Insert It, as
they believed It to be an unscrupulous
attempt to obtain a free advertisement
for the ballet.

work of love to reproduce It until
another year rolls around and The an
nual visit to the barber takes place
The old gentleman also 'shaves him
self.
Economy In the matter of barberlnj
which was first a matter of stern ne
cesalty, In now the one little thing that
the couple refuse to give up out of th
days of poverty.. As they are a child'
less couple, there is nobody to hectoi
the old man Into engaging a valet
Really the old man has bis hair cul
more often than is necessary, foi
sometimes when the worries of wealth
and social duties are more than or
dlnarily oppressive the good wife will
say: "Come dear come up to my
room. I want to cut your hair." And
while the scissors snip the old couple
laughingly go back to the old happy
days of youth and struggle once more.
Shy On Table Etiquette.
"Table etiquette In country hotels
Is a study in itself," remarked the
traveling man. "Every town seems to
have its own code of ethics and It's a
difficult matter to keep up with the
various forms and observances. I had
to stop over in a little Connecticut
town on my lust trip and put up at the
only hotel In the place.
"Thero was no fault to find with the
dinner. There was an abundance of
well-cooked food and I reveled In
dishes so dear to my infantile days,
reserving a gap for a slice of the real,
old-fashioned pumpkin pie, which was
made a feature of the bill of fare.
"The waitress passed and repassed
me, but made no motion to remove
my plate and trot out the luscious pie.
My patience gave out at last, and I
almost grabbed her as she flew by and
haughtily demanded my portion.
" 'Y'all through?' she snapped.
" 'Yes.'
" 'Then why didn't ye stack up yer
dishes so'd I know?"
"And as a rebuke for my lack of
table manners she brought me a stingy
slice."

The br.ppy wife of n good old-fash-loued
Mich, farmer says:
"In the Hprl.'itf of I!)'.', I wns taken
sick a generul breaking down, as it
were. I was excessively nervous, could
not sle?p well at night, my food seemed
to do me no good, nnd I wns no weak I
could scarcely walk across the room.
"The doctor said my condition was
due to overwork and close confinement
and tint be very much feared thnt con
sumption would sef In. For several
months I took one kind of medicine
after another, but with no good effect
In fact, I seemed to grow worse.
"Then I determined to quit all mertl.
clues, give lip coffee and see what
Grape-Nuts food would do for tne. I
began to eat Cirupe-Nuts with sugar
and cream and bread and butter three
times a day.
"The effect was surprising! I began
to gain flesh and strength forthwith,
my nerves quieted flown and grew nor
mally steady and sound, sweet sleep
came bark to me. In six weeks' time
I discharged the hired girl nud com
menced to do my own housework for
family of six. This was two yenrs
go, and I cm doing It stll, aud enjoy
It." Name given by Tostum Co., Battle
