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. Wood. , c " r^; n Spruce (domestic)MH-' '!

Tb.e total pulp production by all pro cesses by the firms reporting was 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. This demonstrates, in a striking man ner. the dm. i upon the forests caused by the pulp industry.--From Prelim inary Agricultural Report. 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.

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, iu the New York Press 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.

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 g 1 I 1 a , I MiW - ——— 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.

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. TRIMMINGS.
