DOLLS OF ALL NATIONS.
London Collector Describes the Play,
things of Savage Children.
The dolls of all nations and of all
times occupied the attention of the
Folk-Lore Society in London, the other
night, when a lecture was given by
Edward Lovett, who for years has col
lected dolls of every sort and size
from all over the world.
“It is most probable that dolls have
existed in all times and in all coun
tries,” declared Mr. Lovett. “They
have been fourd in the tombs of Greek,
Roman, and Egyptian children, and
some in my possession are at least 3000
years old.”
Photographs of the queerest dolls
imaginable were shown. From Cen
tral Africa came a fetish doll, con
sisting of a bundle of sticks with a
piece of cloth wrapped around, and
a small box in the middle supposed to
contain the spirit of a departed war
rior, kept by adoring relatives.
The doll played with by the children
of Central Africa is a gourd, wrapped
in a rag, with seeds on the top to rep J
resent hair. The little ones of the
French Congo nurse . weird, carved
wooden figures, with nocks as long as
cranes, and hands possessed of a mul
titude of fingers.
Some of the Indian dolls boast of a
strange anatomy, the legs starting
from just under the neck, while the
hands are placed straight on the body
without the formality of arms being
introduced.
"It is a strange fact,” said Mr. Lov
ett, “that the ancient Egyptian doll
lias jointed limbs exactly the same as
the Dutch doll of to-day. The oldest
Japanese dolls also are jointed, and so
are the Matabele specimens.
“The Christmas dolls of Germany,
Belgium, and Russia show St. Nicholas,
or Santa Claus carrying in one hand |
presents for good children, and in the I
other a birch for the bad ones. In !
Belgium St. Nicholas is too important i
a personage to go down the chimneys i
to the stockings himself, so he sends i
down his servant Ruprecht, who is al
so a popular doll.
“Dolls used to be placed over shops
to indicate what kind of mercrhandise
was to be found within. For instance,
a large bone draped with rags pointed
out a rag and bone store. Some of my
dolls are of iron and stone—evidently
not being used as playthings. Others
are of wood and clay, and one old Eng
lish doll is of chalk, with flint eyes.
“Dolls from Labrador and Alaska,
and those of the North American In
dians before civilization reached them,
are quite characteristic while the faces
of the different tribes are admirably
shown. The same is the case with an-
Romanjfcils.
<lZ!s to
' mlrn bitants for the amuse-
PKKt of the children and dressed in the
costume of the particular district. Now
the shop doll is everywhere the golly
wog with the big eyes.
“In some parts of France the people
used to Mui' dolls which caricatured
each other, and this proved a source of
considerable amusement to dwellers in
lonely parts.”
In the discussion which followed the
lecture, it was pointed out that the his
tory of dolls has never yet been seri
ously considered, and that “the folk
lore of dolls” had yet to be written.
Jlanulacture of Pulp.
The work of the Forest Service in
gathering statistics of forest products
for the past year h. s furnished the
basis for a provisional statement of
the wood consumed in the manufac
ture of paper pulp. As the accompany
ing table shows the returns frotn 159
firms, controlling 232 pulp mills, give
out 3.000,000 cords as the total amount
of wood used.

Tb.e total pulp production by all pro

1,993,b00 mns. Accordirg to the cen
sus of 1900, the consumption of pulp
wood was then 1,986,31 J cords, so that
there has been an increase of over
ififty per cent, in the last six years.

Small Figures Tiresome.
Do you know that these small
amounts, such as millions and biL.ons,
are growing tiresome? I am going in
ifor astronomy, where numbers are
really worth while considering. There
is our nearest neighbor among the
fixed stars, dear old Alpha Centauri,
who is just 25.000,000,000 000 miles
away. She gets about her orbit at the
rate* of 186,000 miles a second, and
when she throws out her flashlight it
takes • s tour years and 128 days to
see it. If she should cry aloud v. e
should be 3.000,000 years in hearing
the sound of her voice. The Chicago
Limited, starting from Alpha Centauri
for New York, would arrive here in
about 75,000,000 years.—Victor Smith,

Seasick French Sailors. •
Bitter complaint is made by a
French naval journal because the
modern training of French naval of
ficers and seamen does not sufficiently
habituate them to the sea. On the
voyage of the .Taureguiberry from Tou
lon to Brest that battleship had to
face a storm in the Bay of Biscay,
which prostrated no fewer than 200
seamen and a large number of of
ficers. In the Russian fleet at the bat
tle of the Japan sea there was a simi
lar state of affairs. It is urged that
there be more cruising at sea in all
weathers and a period of some years’
service on torpedo cast for officers,
with the object of giving the person
nel of the French navy its sea legs.

WHO SHE WAS
SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF LYDIA E. PINKHAM
And a True 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., February 9th. 1819, com
ing from a good old Quaker 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 sympa
thetic nature.
In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a builder and real estate operator, and
I their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
i daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
I was common for mothers to make
I their own home medicines from roots
I and herbs, nature’s own remedies—
i calling in a physician only in specially
i urgent cases. By tradition and ex
perience many of them gained a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
erties 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
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
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 E. Pink
ham’s 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 E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.
The three sons and the daughter,
with 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 no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were steeped on the stove,
gradually flljing 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 medi
.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 it
recommended it to others, and the de
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, bj- combined efforts the fam
ily had saved enough money to com
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time ths growth and success of
the enterprise were assured, until to
day Lydia E. Pinkham 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. 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 i
herself.
During her long and eventful expe- I
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 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. 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 a large family, took
it up. With woman 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 adviee is “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 and herbs; the one
great medicine for women’s ailments,
and the fitting monument to the noble
woman whose name it bears.
