Undoubtedly . the most rcmarkablo and
costly assortment of pitchers In private
possession lu Amerlcn Is that owned by
Mrs. T. Lynn of Sacramento, Cal.
Mrs. Lynn has very nearly 1.000 pitchers,
big and little. Ono entlro room In her
home Is required for an appropriate display
of her treasures.
She may bo said to have been pitcher
gathering ever since she was a yeur old.
On her first birthday sho was presented
with a small pitcher which was destluod
to form the nucleus of her present collec
tion an odd little pitcher that had long
been In the possession of her sister, Mary
Davis, aud which Mrs. Lynn values most
highly.
One of her pitchers has been In Mrs.
Lynn's family for ISO years. It Is n rnther
targe-sized creamer, mado In England and
brought to Virginia before that common
wealth was divided.'
An Interesting relto ot enrly days In tho
Oolden stato is a large, plain whito pitcher
used in a boarding houso In 1852, on the
present site ot tho Stato IIouso hotel, Sac
rnnifnto. Another rollc of local Interest Is a water
pitcher of Kocklugham wore, given to Mrs.
Lynn by tho first white woman settler In
Monterey county. v
Some of her pitchers represent famous
manufacturers whose names and works
survive, whllo tho secret of their process Is
lost burled .with them.
A specimen of peculiar rr.ako Is a creamor
of belleek, tho rannufneturo of. which nrtl
clo ceased many years ago. It was made
in Fermnungh, Iroland.
Quaint and raro Is tho small clay pitcher
of Indian manufacture.
A whito milk pitcher brought from Oer
mnny thirty-eight years ago ntlracts by
reason of Its oddly old-fashloncd shape.
And equally Interesting In their different
ways aro tho pitchers that came from
Japan, China. Australia, Nova Scotia,
France. Sweden but If ono were to enum
erate tho geographical origin of nil, this
account would read llko a tourist's guldo
book. Of especial value, however, and
therefore entitled to "honornblo mention,"
aro tho creamers from Hungary and Cey
lon. Some of tho water pitchers are painted
by well known artists In ceramics, and are
of exquisite workmanship. Ono case alono
contalus thirty-nine of varyluB shapes nnd
slies.
Mrs. Lynn is now collecting specimens
from the various states In tho union nnd
hopes before long to have this portion of
her pltchered possessions complete' She
tins not catalogued the collection, her mem
ory serving her well enough to ouablo her
to relate tho Individual history of each
specimen. Sho will probably compile the
data In cataloguo form before this wonder
fully well chosen collection passes on to
other hands.
Her fad has practically occupied tho leis
ure hours of a llfotlmo and Involved tho
expenditure of a sum that easily ronrhea
tho 11.000 mark. To clean the collctloti
is a task requiring three days' tlmo.

Too Prominently Developed Auihiik
tint Women of Toilny,
Tho summer girl has been remarkable dur
ing tho last season for her lack of hesitancy
In borrowing from her friends. Tho feeling
ot good fellowship among tho sex away from
homo seems so well developed that Its mem
bers havo no compunction In asking one to
lend them her diamond rings, hor bottle of
ammonia or any of tho various articles that
come between these things.
' I came away from home this summer
very well equipped," writes a girl Just re
turned from tho seashore. "I thought I had
with me a tow simple remedies and a goodly
supply of toilet necessaries, yet when I
wanted a little cold cream today my large
Jar of that ointment had disappeared. After
diligent thought I remembered that I had
loaned It to Mrs. Smith wheu Johnnie's legs
were burned,
"I went to her (or It, but she bad loaned It
(
to Mrs. Jones. When I Anally corraled Mrs.
Jones thnt lady declared smilingly that she
had Just used tho last hit for Florenco. She
said It certainly was a delightful cream nnd
she was so plensed that It hnd InBted until
Florence's face was about well, with which
pleco of praise I was fain to bo satisfied,
though I hnd no balm for my own Ilia.
"It wns tho same wny with my boxes of
powder, tho same with my mint drops nnd
bay ruin, aud the same way with tho small
flask of brandy I hnd brought to use medici
nally when occasion demanded. Knch of
those nrtlcles wns borrowed by someone else
who chanced to spy It. until It had made the
rounds of tho hotel and the contents were
exhausted.
"Of nil my supply ono piece of camphor Is
nlono loft to tell tho talc, an Invidious dis
tinction that I don't understand, unless the
odor Is dlstnsteful to tho femlnlno boarders.
"Why. even my slippers and kimono have
been cenilscnted on occasions by my next
door neighbor nnd I've been left tcVscramble
along without them as best I might, and nt
this very moment my walking skirt Is worn
by a young woman whom I know but
slightly, but wno teemed to think it would
be a good thing for her to wear on the pe
d'strlnn expedition she Jo'ned this morning.
"I'm going home," snld the bright girl,
decisively. "I'm going home where there's
not so much freemasonry In tho community
nnd uht.ro ono can keep one's property to
oneself. .Vrxt year no one, not even my
denrtst friend, Is going to know tho re
rourcea of my medicine nnd toilet boxes.
I'm going to be selfish rs selfish can bo nnd

Wu Ting Fang, tho Chines? minister at
Washington, Is one of the few men of his
race who enjoyed tho privilege of seeing
his wife beforo ho married her. How he
rained this rare privilege was told by hlm
solf to a group ot friends nt the capital the
other day.
"In China our young men do not solect
wives for themselves, but leave it to tlu'lr
parents," said he. "Wo know that our
parents want us to be happy nud wo are
williDg to let them Judge who will make a
good wife. Tho young man Is never per
mitted to see, before tho ceremony, the ono
whom ho Is to marry.
"Wo have few unhappy marriages In
China nud perhaps that is because we do
not spend all the affection before imrrlagv,
ns It seems to mo tho young people in
America sometimes do.
"I was very nnxlous to seo the girl my
parents had chosen for me, but they ton)
mo It would bo Impossible to have an In
terview or even a formal meeting, and that
I could not even seo her. Hut after I had
begged very hard they finally consented to
let mo have one look at her aud tho per
mission overjoyed me.
"So, one day I sat by a window behind a
blind which entirely hid me. After wait
ing a long tlmo three young women enmc
down tho street and I was told that ouo of
them was to bo my futuro wlft.
"'Hut which one? Which one Is she?"
1 demanded, eagerly, and when I wns told
thnt It was tho one on tho outside I looked
nt her ' harder and with greater delight
than I ever looked at anything elso cither
beforo or since "
The minister wns sllont for a few mo
ments aud his mind was evidently bus)
with the pleasant past. Then he said
with a half chuckle:
"What I was curious to know, but could
not find out, was whether the future Mrs.
Wu knew I was looking at her. Ob, It
was entirely contrary to Chinese etiquette
entirely but I shall never forget how
happily I felt ns my bride-to-be came so

SIIMI THINGS THAT
WOMEN SWIM
By MARGARET L. I3RIGGS.
(ALL U1GI1T8 HEHHItVEI) )
The niipnrotit liiillffet'once of women iinnroiu'liltii; nioilioiiiootl. roirartlitij;
their physical condition, Is past inideistiindlnt;. It Is lvnlly not until the
event Is about to occur that heed Is given to the most ordinary precautions.
I wish lo Impress upon tlicm the vital Importance of a cleat' bill of health
in so far as the female organs are concerned, and especially also the kidneys.
While any vestige of lnllamniatlon or derangeiuetit of the generative organs
will esnct some kind of a penalty of the mother, and probably also of her child,
perfectly healthy kidneys are Indispensable. Indeed, tho dangers resulting
from kidney trouble during the pregnant period can hardly be exaggerated.
This statement will surprise many women who have severe dally back
aches, and who have never discovered the nlmost certain connection between
backache and kidney trouble.
Tho woman who is about to become a mot her, and who has for it consid
erable time suffered with those wearying backaches which nothing has
helped, should take earnest heed to herself, and that promptly.
Tills Is a proper subject upon which to speak With emphasis. Certain
phases of kidney trouble til such a time are fatal, and any kidney disorder
very dangerous.
disregarding the dictates of prudence, women, for (lie sake of appenrauco,
lace too tight during this period, aud in this way Increase tho tendency to
kidney trouble. They have never been told that backache is a mere symptom
of some grave trouble, and pay no attention to It. except to succumb to Us
persistent weariness.
Tho other symptoms of kidney trouble ate many, but backache Is tho most
common. Women at any time lu their lives will tlo well to distrust backache
and limit for its cause, but during this trying time it Is Important beyond all
words to express.
Tho person to whom women can always turn with freedom and coutldeuee
nt such a time is .Mrs. riukham. Indeed, it is not likely that from tiny one
else can the exactly correct advice be' obtained. Certain it is that no living
person has had Mrs. Pinkhnm's experience nor her success. Mrs. I'lnkham
Is always ready to give advice to sick or perplexed women, aud those can
best appreciate her advice who have been buffeted around from one physi
cian to another without getting help.
The importance of giving heed to backache at any time lu a woman's life
is shown conclusively in Mrs. rinkhuin's correspondence with women. Proba
bly the one medicine that can be depended upon to relieve and cure the con
dltlon that produces backache is Lydln 13. Pinkhnm's Vegetable Compound.
Its record Is the warrant for this statement, and no woman who lias backache
or indication of any other female ill can make a mistake when she takes Mrs.
Plnkhuin's medicine.
The tendency of- druggists to advocate some unknown preparation, when
Lydln 12. Pluklinm's Vegetable Compound is asked for, Is a matter which
every purchaser should unilorMund. The reason druggists tlo this Is not that
the medicine they may suggest Is a worthy one. but because they mako a
larger prollt on It. Ho not be deceived by such methods. Insist on getting
exactly the same medicine that has cured the women you have heard about
nnd read about. That medicine is not the compound of Jtrown, or .lones, or
Uoblusou, but Lydia 12 Pinkhnm's Vegetable Compound.
