OuriositIes OF GIycertn.

One of the great advantages of glycer-
in in its chemical employment is the
fact that it neither freezes nor evaporates
under any ordinary temperature. No
perceptible loss by evaporation has been
detected at temperature less than 200
degrees F., but if heated intensely
it decomposes with a smell that few
persons find themselves able to endure
1t burns with pale flame. similar to
that from alcohol, if heated to about
300 degrees and then ignited. Its non
evaporative qualities make the COM
pound of much use as vehicle for hold
ing pigments and colors, as in stamping
and typewriter ribbons, carbon papers
and the like.
If the pure glycerine be exposed for a
long time to freezing temperature, it
crystallizes with the appearance of sugar
candy, but these crystals being once
melted it is almost an impossibllfty to
get them again into the CONCEALED state.
If little water be added to the glycer-
in, no crystallization will take place,
though under sufficient degree Of cold
the water will separate and form crys-
tails, amid which the glyoerin will re-
main In its natural state Of fluidity. II
suddenly subjected to intense cold, pure
glycerin will form a gummy mass
which cannot be entirely hardened or
crystallized. Altogether 1t Is quite
peculiar substance.-Good Housekeep-

this kind of protection as much as she

The Democratic papers in this county

THE Democratic papers in this county
are talking about the repeal of the Gar
Der law, but they neglect to state that
the Democratic Auditor made numer-
GUS trips to Columbus to work for re-
peal In various ways. No other officer In
this county expended one-half the effort
to get the CARRIER law repealed that he
did, and no other was nearly so much
benefited. The CHRONICLE never was
in favor of the CARRIER law because IL
was not what the people wanted, and
while the law passed last winter is, we
think, too liberal to the officers, yet it is
formed on the right lines-the fee sys-
tem@and Is much better for the people
than the CARRIER law.

No Cash Now.

Some of our unemployed people who
have not ready cash are considerably
worked up over the report that some
members of the Retail Grocers' Associa-

effect the exclusively cash system. These
grocers say that they cannot carry any
more obligations than they now hold
and they are in favor of the movement
to save themselves from further embar,

when so many people are out of work

Rather Snakey.

The following item found in an ex-

of the late Teen West, two miles east of
town. lives a colored family named
White. in small hut in a deep ravine.
A short time since the wife gave birth to
a pair of twins, one of which was nursed
at the breast, while the other was given
nourishment from bottle. A few nights
ago the woman was awakened by an un-
usual sensation, and found her breast wet,
but could find no cause for it. The fol-
lowing night she was again awakened in
the same manner, and putting her hand
to her breast found something cold and
slimy. She called to her husband, who
brought a light, when he found huge
blacksnake peacefully nursing at his
wife's breast. The husband was horrihed, |,
but proceeded to kill the reptile, when to
his horror four other blacksnakes which
had invaded the room rushed to their
comrades assistance, and made savage
attack upon the man, and before he was
master of the mansion a terrific struggle
ensued. and the colored man was severe
ly bitten. They gathered their family
together and vacated their home, seeking
shelter at neighbor's.
