What to do with Old' Photographs. —Most homes have many old photo- graphs too precious to be thrown away, yet of little interest•io those outeide -the immediate family. To save space they rare often packed away in boxes; :.o, often when we would gladly. spend a little time looking over the familiar scenes and faces, it seems too much ircuble to get them out. Here is a simple solution of the problem: Put the photographs in :leap, hot water; in a short time the pictures can bo easily removed from the cards. When dry, either trim down, to economize space. 'r cut away the background entirely: This last, of course. requires great cure. Mount them T a scciipboek; or, better still,' a book made:especially for kodak pictures. - Stullings for Pillows.—Dried • grass clippings, thoroughly sun dried to .re- move. ail possible dampness., make a %oft pillow. and at the same. time one giving a delightful odor.

SKETCH 01TIIE LIFE OF LYDIA E PINKHINI 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. • • • t :1 _ • This remit rkable woman, whose maiden /iamb was Estes. was born in Lynn, :gess., February 9th, 1S19, com- ing frozn 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 aboee all, possessed of a wonderfully sympathetic nature. • In 1843 she married I.aac PinItham, a builder and -real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happinees. Thy had tour children, three £(11S and a daughter. •.In those gins/ old -fashioned days it was common for mother- to make their own home me liciees • from roet3 and nateie's win reeizedies.—eilling in a physician only in -specially urgent cases. .13.y tradition and experience many of them gaited a wonderful knowledge of the smntive properties of the various roots and herbs. • • Mrs. Pinkharn took a great interest in the study of roots and herb", their char- acteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature FO bonnti- fully provides in the hateest-fietda and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we -but take the pains to find them, hs the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies expressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare !simple ar.d effec- tive medicines for her own family .and friend:es • • . -Chief of these was a rare combination ef the choicest medicinal roots ar..1 herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and wealuset.*4 peculiar to the feuiale ree, and Lv.lia E. Pinkhartr's friends and ra earn ee that her compoon, • rslieved and cured and it hecarte quite popular among them. • - • Ail this so far wae done freely, without money and without price as a labor of love. • - But in 1S73 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its len h and severity were too -much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkham family, as this class of business suffered most frown fearful 4e - pression, eo when the Centennial year dawned it found their property swept away. Some ether source of Income had N be found. , . . . •• this point Lydia E: Pham's .. •ble Compound waa made known '• orld. - - . ' -.• se eons andthe daughter, with their mother, combined forces to restore the family fortune. They argued that the medicine which was so good for their woman friendeand neighbors was equally good for the women of the whole world. The Pinkharns had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herbs were steeped on the stove, gradually filling a groes of bottles. Then came the question of selling it, for always before they had given it away freely. They hired a lob printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merits of the medicineepow called Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, apd 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 bad saved enough money to commence newspaper advertising and from that time the growth and success of the enter- prise were assured, until to -day Lydia E. Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound have become household worda every- where, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annually in its manufacture. Lydia E. Pinkharn herself did not live to eee the great suereset of this work. She passed to her rev. ard years ago, but not till she had provided means for continu- ing her Work as effectively as she could have done it herself. impson The People's Cash Store.

The case of every sick woman who applied to her for advice— and there were thousands—received careful study and the details, including 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 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 hast corres- pondence. To her hands naturally fell the direc- : -ef the work when its originator passed away. For nearly twenty-five years she has continued' it, and nothing in the work shows when the first Lydia E. Pinkham (iropped her pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham, now the mother ot a large family, took it up. With woman asistants, some as capable as her- self, the present Mrs. Pinkham continues this great work, and probably from the office of no other Perron 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 ask for it. - • .. _Such is the history of Lydia E.

W. ..Totten preached an able sermon "Salvation provided for and offer- =ed to all through Jesus." Dr. R. Brodie, R. E. Forsyth . and 'John Gregg purpose leaving on Monday for the north country • for one one or two weeks' sport hunting deer. We hope they may have a•successful time and be able to treat' their friends to a feast of venison on their return. •The new Farmers' Bank opened up their branch here on ruesday at North Claremont. The open- ing of this branch should prove a great convenience to the farmers ' for whom the bank has been spec- ially established. We trust that their venture here may be a pro-. 'fltable one. . On Sunday next quarter meet- ing will be held at the Glasgow .Methodist church at the morning •'services:at 10.30 o'clock. In conse- quence of this, there will be no service in the Claremont Metho- dist church. But the Sunday ,school and the evening service will be held as usual. • The offici- al meeting will be held neat day -at 2.30 p. m. Mrs. W. H. Bundy, wife of the business manager of The Star, and only daughter of the editor, William Ireland, died on Saturday morning from a cancer, after a brave fight of over a year. In June last one of the legs was am- putated in the hope of saving her life, and for a time she made a marvellous recovery, but the can- . • cer again developed, this time in 1 the lungs, and death ensued that morning. His many friends here sympathize with Mr. Bundy in his sad bereavement. Rev. J. W. Totten assisted Rev. J. A. Grant last Thursday evening in the snecial services at Glen Ma - There is an encouraging in- terest being manifested in the meetings by the people of the ne+ahbol-hood. There was a good attendauce at the Epworth League in the Metho- dist church on Monday evening, Oct. 21st. Each Monday these meetings are held and all are cor- dially welcomed who desire to at- tend. No more profitable. way eau be spent than in the study of some important, Bible theme. A man was said ,at his death to have left his entire possession to an orphan asylum. Some oue ask - how much he left. The answer Was '*twelve children." - A young: American said "Uncle, Do yob know the difference be- tween a lemon and au elephant ?" Thiuking it was an attempt to catch him, the uncle said, "O,No." "You Would be a nice one to send to buy lemons," replied the young nephew. SALE" REGISTER.

Not a remedy that will straighten the distorted limbs of chronic cripples. nor turn boa ' growths back to flesh again. That is impossible. But 1 can now surely kill the pains and pangs of this deplorable disease. In Germany—with a Chemist in the City of Darmstadt —I found the last ingredient with which Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Remedy was made a perfected, dependable prescription. Without that last ingredient. I successfully treated many, many cases of Rheumatism: but now, at last, it uni- formly cures all curable cases of this heretofore much dr :tided disease. Those sand -like granular wastes, found in Rheumatic Blood. seem to dissolve and pass away under the action of this remedy as freely as does sugar when added to pure water. And then. when dlssolved,'these poisonous wastes ` freely pass from the system, and the cause of Rheumatism 18 gone forever.
