What is the matter with the churches ? What have they done or what is there about them that keeps some people out of them?

Ru- dolph Lemieux is a statement from the minister of labor that the immi- tion of Hindoos to British Colum- ia will be stopped. He also said that the imperial authorities were notifying their officials in India that on account of labor and other con- siderations, Canada was not a proper place 'for Hindoo emigration. Mr. Emmerson's proposal to create a pension fund for the employees of the Intercolonial was axpaunded do the house yesterday, The general idea is that a stoppage of one and one-half per cent. is to be made in each man's pay the ep. will Cotrtribute an sum; moneys so raised wi » invested, three per cent. being al- owed, and the resultant funds used ide retiring allowances. The general scheme is that on retiring a man is to get each. month one and one-half per cent. of his average monthly pay, during the last ten year's multiplied by the number of years' service he can count. This is not an insurance scheme; if a man dies, his widow gets a refund of his payments, without interest, and less the cost of management. The cost to the country is calculated at some $30,000. : . Mr. Haggart and Mr. Borden passed various comments on the scheme, and Mr. Pringle broke out in advocacy of universal pensions for the aged and deserving poor, asserting that the New Zealand experiment had resulted in an unqualified success. As for the pro- posal before the house he asserted, that labour organizations viewed com- pulsory contribution askance. ours of valuable time were wasted vesterday in discussing whether it was lawfal for the revised statutes to be published first in.

In this. case they were simply the old laws in re- vised form. Mr. Lancaster's bill to make natur- alization a condition for the granting of masters' and mates' certificates was considered by a special committee of the commons. It was opposed by Fran- cis Ring, Kingston, secretary of the Dominion Marine Association: G. B.

Essex Junction, Vt., Jan. 16.--John Carley, probably the oldest railway man in the state, mét a horrible death here, on Saturday evening, when he was run down by a drunken teamster and dragged under the sleds for a distance of thirty rods, scream- ing loudly for help. Mr. Earley was seventy-six years old, was born ih county - Sligo, Ireland, and had been in the employ of the Central Vermont A railway for the past fifty-one years. He was a man® universally respected and the village is in a state of high indignation over the affair.

For come years she taught echool, and hecame known as a woman of an alert and investi after Xowlodre, and above all, ly ing mind, an earnest seeker of a wonderfully sympathetic nature. In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham, + builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by sperity and happiness. They had iour children, three gons and a daughter. In those good old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their owp home medicines from roots and herbs, nature's own remedies--calling in a physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and experience many of them gained a wonderful knowledge of the curative properties of the various roots and herbs. Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their char- acteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so bounti- fully provides in the harvest-fields and orebards vegetable foods of all kinda; %, if we but take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies expressly designed to care the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simplé'sni-effec-i tive for her own family and Chief of these was a rare combinatio! cf the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses peculiar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pinkham'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, without 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 la real estate interests of the Pinkham Ts as this class of business suffered most from fearful de- Pression, 30 when the Centennial year awned it found their property swept 'away. Some other source of income had to be found. At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Cnpord was made known to the world. The three sons and the daughter, with OF LYDIA E.

The Pinkham had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, Thete Toute 38d Jett were steeped on the stove, g ly a on of bottles. Thea came the gueton of selling it, for always before they had given it away freely. "They hired a job rinter to run off some pamphlets setting orth 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 ro- 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 and success of the enter rise were assured, until to-day Lydia E. inkham and her Vegetable Joraposnd have become household words ery. where, and many tons of roots and hi 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 Lill she had provided means for continu- ing her work as effectively as she could have done it herself. During her } and eventful experi- ence she aL methodical in her work and she was always careful to 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--recei 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 worl With Lydia E- Piikbaes otked. | daughter-in-law, the present Mrs. Por .
