It 13 not quite certain whether the baba was chiefly eoliettous for the safety of the guard or whether he thought that the lion might take advantage of the open door to come into the office.

' HAM And a Trui Story of How the Vegetable Compound Had Its Birth and How the "Panic of '73" Caused (It to be Offered for Public Sale in Drug Stores. This remarkable - woman, whose maiden name was Estes, was born in Lynn, Mass., FebruaOth, 1819, com- ing from a good oldQuaker family. For some years she taught school, and became known as a woman of an alert " and investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of a:wonderfully sympathetic nature. In 1843 she Married Isaac Pinkham, a bnilder 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 oid fashioned days it was cavamon for mothers to malts their own home medicines from roots and herbs, nature's own remedies -tailing in playeician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and experience many of them gained a .wonderful knowledge of .the curative properties of the various iroots and herb& Mrs. Pinkharn took a great interest in the study of roots and herbEg, their char- 'acMristics and power over disease. She 'maintained that just as nature so bounti- fully provides in the harvest -fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to flnd them, In the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies expressly designed to ettre the various ills and Weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare eimple and effec- tive medicines for hei own family and Mende. Chief of these was a rare corebination of the choiceet medicinal roots and herba found beet adapted for the cure of the Ills and weakneeses peeuliar to the female sex, and Lydia E. ?inkhorn's friends and neighbore learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them. . All this so far was done freely, without money and without price as a labor of love. But in 1873 the fintuteial crisis stritck Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate interests ,the Pinkbana family, as this elites of boldness suffered molt from fearful de - premien, so when the Centennial year .41 claimed it found their property swept away. Some other source of intorno hid to he found. At this point Lydia E. Finkhath'e Vegetable Compound we made known 10 the *world. The three sons and the dettilder Vsith their mother, combined forces to 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 :to money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herbs were steeped 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 the medicine:, 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 it re- commended it to others, and the demand gradually increased. In 1877, by combined efforts the family had saved enough money to commence newspaper advertising and from that time the growth 2nd success of the enter- prise were assured, until to -day Lydia E. Pinkham and her Vegetable.Compound have become household words every- where, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annually in -its manufacture. Lydia E. 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 continu- ing her work as effectively as she could have done it herself. During her long and eventful experi- ence 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 .thoueands-received careful study and the details, including symptoms, treatment and resulta were recorded for future reference, and to -day these records, together with hundreds of thousands made billets, are available to sick women the world over, and repre- sent a vast collaboration 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. Pink - ham. She was carefully instructed in all her, hard-won knowledge, and for years she assisted her in her vast corres- pondence. To her hands naturally fell the direc- tion of the work when its originator passed away. For nearly twenty-five years she has eontinued it, and nothing in the work shows when the first Lydia E. Pinkhani dropped her pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham, now the mother of a large family, took it up. With woman asistants, some as capable as her- self, tho present Mrs. Pinkhain continuo this great work, and probably from the office of no other rerson have so many women been advised how to regain health. Sick women, this advice is "Yours for Health" freely given if you only write to tick for it. Such is the history of Lydia 2.

FACE MASSAGE FOR M. P'S. New Source of Cheerfulness and Success. The attention formerly given to shav- ing an.c1 hair-eutting, among members of Parliament has been to it great extent 1 transferred to face -massage. This treat - meta is now in thigh favor among all sections of Parliament, with the possible exception of the Labor party. It would be a mistake to suppose that the advantages of face -massage are eon - fined to bringing a fresh complexion. Its uses are deeper.

The People and Losses of Companies in Canada. The report of the Superintendent of Insurance for 1905 has just been isnted, and comes at it time when there is a good deal of intere.et in insurance gener- ally. ' This is particularly the ease at the moment with respect to fire 111Stir- anee. The lossere at San Francisco will not, of course, figure in our Canadian reports., but those •entailed by the great fire in Toronto are seen in the etate- ments for 1904. In that year the am- ount of the premiums oollected by the Canadian. British and American com- panies in. Canada was $13,162,892, and , the losses paid were $14,099,5,34, a loss of $929,052, not to mention the cost of op- lerating, the variothe companies. The fol - 1 .lowing year t,•lie showing was more sat - 1 isfactory for the companies, the pay- ments in premiums being $14,299,750 and ' the losses $6,008,457, leaving a gPOSS sur- plus of $8,200,293. It is to be feared that 111106 will make even it worse showing i than 1905. Since Confederation, how- ( ever, the premiums of all the conmanie i operating in Canada have amounted to • $215,874,368, and the losses to $146,31S,- 293, leaving a gross surplus of $60,550,- 075. They are evidently still ahead of the game. 3 BREAX IN ON SibtkKERS. English Political Atullenees Cherish Right to Heckle. Music Before Carpets. There appears to be a growing demand in Mexico for pianos and musical instru- ments. Many of those of American menu. facture are popular with Mexican people and American manufacturers of pianos and musical instruments of superior qual- 1 ity have it very fair opportunity for in - creasing their business in Mexico. The Mexicans are a musical people, and, as a rule, the so-called cheap instruments are not greatly in demand. It is a com- mon thing there to find a high grade piano and several high class musical in- struments in a "Mexican home where there aro no carpets on the floor and where the furniture of the house is of the most ordinary kind.

It is an unwritten law of the cowl - try that lie is liable to contradinion.

In a company of :six you hove only to show an Ameriean that five are against him to convince him that he is wrong. That Is just when an English workingman would becerne finally convinced that he was the rally sano person in the room. If you have never watched an English workingman heckling Mr. Balfour on the subject of Chineee labor, you have yet to learn of what a political meeting is cap- able. These contests are followed by the audience with supreme zest and good humor. If they threaten to become too protracted the ieterrupter is pulled down In his seat by willing hands from behind or simply thrown out of the hall. In the recent campaign, for the first time in the history of English election- eering, some women had to bre forcibly removed from a meeting. They were earnest woman's suffragists and as the speaker of the occasion, who was no less than Sir Henry Campbell-Banneeman, would not stop to pay any attention to them, they proceeded to lictist a banner (upside down, as it happened), and to address the audience in competition with the Prime Minister.

Foods, Alary Hinman Abel writes, in the In the Delineator's campaign for safe May number, a chapter on Coloning Matters and Commercial Cheats c -f vital importance, and afetr reeding it one realizes somethIng of the impositions that are practised on uneuspecting houeoholds. Mrs. Abel s.1.ys: "No caterer ean affordt to clierogard the aesthetic side of the food que.stion. To please the eye is to prep:ere a wel- come reception for the food itself, and if this were the whole story, there would. , be no heated discussions on the subject between the manufacturer and food in- spector, no laws passed to suppress the coloring of foods. But the -using of arti- ficial coloring has brought forward two serious possibiliLiese; first, that poieon- owe inp,Tedients will be ueed for the pur- pose; second, that second •grado or even spoiled foods may be made by this means to appear better than they are, and se deceive the purchaser.

The practice lies never :been common in this country, and peppered vegetables are now oxelad- el fr,om our markets by law.

These colors are also used extensively to give hli0 desired tint to beverages, se &oda water, and to restore tho color to fruit and vegetables that have lost it in the process if cooking. Most important of all, these colors are the great reliance of the manufacturer who puts up it very cheap grade of jam, jelly and catsup, einoe tomato and apple skin and core axe not up to the mark in flavor or *color. Our people should again learn what should be the color of amlic and ere.tun; to aocept the fact that heat must clinnge the bright hues of fruits and vegetables, and to learn the effect of time and temperature on the color of meat." Hog Fattening, "If a farmer has no more faith than some advertisers, he would become crazy Iat seeing good, sound corn going into a hog," observes Agricultural Advertising. This is a justifiuble "knock" at the sharp -sighted business man who adver- tises for three consecutive days and reaches the conclusion that because he doesn't get his money back on the fourth day, publicity doesn't pay. reeding a hog semi -occasionally is not a profitable proceeding; but if he has a steady diet lie eventually more than pays for his keep. Advertise in the Timm, Twenty-five years ago it was difficult to sell spring wheat flour for pastry at any price. People didn't want it—they were using soft, winter wheat flour, and saw no reason for changing. But hard wheat flour was persistently pushed and prejudice has been overcome. The women tried it, succeeded with it and appreciated it.—To-day hard wheat flour is the favorite for pastry as well as for bread. The flour that is doing the most for the reputation of hard wheat flout is the brand known as Ogilvie's Royal Household It is hard wheat flour at its best—milled by modern methods, retaining all of the good of the wheat and none of the bad.— it is without an equal for every kind of baking in which flour is used.
