HEARsTs FREE LIBRARY, ANACoN DA

A public library, one of the greatest Of
American institutions is something the

I'm this respect Anaconda is particularly
fortunate; in fact, very few cities with

portunities afforded the people residing
here by the Hearst free library. In

is borne entirely by Mrs. Hearst, with

A Word About Glyccrinc.

Since SO many people use pure glyc-
crime for the skin, word of caution
seems necessary. If you apply a little
glycerine to the tip of your tongue you
will find that, although it has pleas
ant, sweet taste, the first sensation
that is felt is one Of pain and burning.
This is caused by the fact that glycer-
inc has a strong affinity for water, and
that it absorbs all the moisture from
the surface which it touches, thus dry
ing up and parching the nerves. Ig-
norant of this fact, nurses and moth
ers have applied pure glycerine to the
chafed skin Of infants. producing, Oft
en-, great pain. The glycerine ought to
have been at first mixed with an equal
bulk Of water. This being done, it
may be applied to the NEST tender sur
faces without producing injury, and, as
it does not dry up, it virtually main
tains the part in constantly moist
condition, excluding the air and pro-
noting the healing process.

Selecting glassware.

To select glass with discretion it is
necessary to understand somewhat OF
it's manufacture, and to recall the
properties Of the chemicals Of which it
is composed. These materials are
chiefly soda, potash. lime, alumina and
oxide of lead. The quality of the glass
to be manufactured depends upon the
amount of the basic material uniteu
with the silica or sand. The best glass
is made With lead, which gives to it
luster, fusibility and high refractory
powers. 1t is often called flint glass,
to distinguish it from lime glass, which
is much cheaper and of decidedly
greenish tint. Flint glass is that which
is most generally used for cutting and
polishing. 1T may be picked out by the
clear, bell-like tone which it sends
forth when struck. This test may be
made without any danger of breaking
the glass, if ii be held firmly in one
hand While the upper parts or edge, is
sharply struck with a pencil or other
instrument, the only care requisite be-
ing to see that the glass does not touch
any object when it is struck, since, if
there be room for it to vibrate, glass
will never break.-Harper's Bazaar.

NO Olympic Games-America Led in
Modern Games with Nine Events to
Her Credit.

beginning with 776 &. c., the Greeks
feckoned their time by olympiads, or
periods of four years when the olym-
PIC games were held. A sacred truce
lasting for a month put a stop to all
war between the various states at the
time OF the games. This enabled ev-
efyone to travel in safety, as none
would dare to offend the terrible god
Aeus. Almost every town in Greece
sent representatives either to compete
OF TO look on at these contests, and
from the islands along the coast as
well as from the colonies in Asia. AZ
rlca and Western Europe visitors
came for business or pleasure. No
women, except one priestess, were al
lowed to be resent at the contests. All
competitors were obliged to prove that
they We're of pure Greek blood and
that they had spent ten motnhs in
preparation for the contests. Then,
II accepted, they We're obliged to pass
the thirty days Immediately preceding
the games in training at Olympia UNI
der the direction of the officials. Dur
ing this period the athlete and his
friends made frequent sacrifices and
prayers to the various deitics whom
they thought might assist in giving
MIN the victory. On the day of the
games all the competitors were obliged
to take solemn oath at the altar of
the god Zeus that they would abide by
the rules and would take no unfair
advantage of an opponent. Originally
the games consisted of but a single
race, the stadium-6O0 feet; but at the
time of their greatest glory five days
were consumed in deciding the con-
tests. They were then as follows:
Foot races, the pentathlon, horse and
chariot races, boxing, wrestling and

the pancratium. The foot races con-
sisted of the single course, already
mentioned, the double course, the long
race, sometimes twenty-four times the
length of the course, and the race in
armor. The pentathlon consisted of
five events, leaping with dumb bells,
throwing the discus, throwing the
spear, running and wrestling. A victor
was obliged to win three out of the
five events. The wrestling was not
very different from what we have now
adays; but the boxing was done with
the hands enclosed in strips of leather
on which were fastened pieces of
metal. This arrangement was called
a cestus, and you can imagine what a
terrible mass of blood and bruises
would result from such contest. One
day was given to the contests of boys,
After each contest the victor was CIV

games there was formal presentation
of olive wreaths to all the winners,
then followed feasts and sacrifices all
most without number. When a cham
pion neared home, the whole town or
city came out to meet him. If there
was wall about the city, new open
ing was made for the glorious one to
enter through; songs We're sung re-
garding him, statues were made of him
and set up in his native town and at
Olympia. Presents of all kinds were
made to him in such numbers and Of
such magnifcence that all necessity
of working for the good things of life
was taken away from him. From the
year 1894 A. D., when they We're dis
continued by the order of the Emperor
Theodosius, until 1896, there were no
Olympic games. But in that year,
through the efforts of Baron Pierre de
Coubertin and committee represent
ing all the nations which take an ac-
tive interest in gymnastic and athleti,
exercises, a modern edition of the
Olympic games was held at Athens.
America led the prize winning, with

The Chinese Language Has No Grant
maticnl Rules, But Is Made Up of
Many Dialects.
ParadoXical though it may sound, we
are strictly within the limits of accu-
racy when we say that Chinese is, at
the same time, the simplest and most
difficult language in the world; most
simple from the absence of those gram
NAUTICAL rules and infectional forms
which veN the student of European
languages: most difficult because of
the combination of different languages
and all known as Chinese.
The book" Chinese is never spoken,
While the colloquial in written form
would merit the supreme contempt Of
the average Chinese student and su-
percillious scholar.
The written character is universally
the same throughout the empire; but
each province, city, town and village
seems to have reserved the right to in
Vent it's own pronunciation of those
written words which are common to
the whole nation, and which constitute
an eternal and inseparable bond which
will link the eighteen provinces to-
gether as long as China remains a ma
ton.
The possibility of two Cinnamon
meeting each other and, While each
speaks Chinese, being unable to in
dulge in mutual conversation in that
language, will at once serve forcibly to
illustrate the pronounced differences
of the Monaghan tongue.
1t would be more correct to say that
China possesses a number of Ian
guages, distinct and separate. and
each subdivided into numeros dialects,
linguistic condition which at once
suggests the absence of railroads or
other means of bringing the various
provincials into conversational con-
tact with each other.-Frederick Poole,

BlaCknail by
Lawyers.

Fortunately for the average lawyers
client, it is not often the case that
solicitor SO far betrays the confidence
reposed in him as to utilize the i'll
formation poured into his private ear
for the foul purpose OF blacknail. yet
the records of legal malpractices con-
tain a certain number of such cases OF
more or less Nervousness, says Tit
Bits. Not so many years ago a young
lady residing in Midland county had
occasion to consult a solicitor regard
ing a rather delicate matter in which
she had been, through no fault of her
own, involved. For obvious reasons
she avoided the practitioner who at
tended to her family's business, and,
rather rashly, pitched upon the first
gentleman whose doorplate caught her
eye.
Her choice proved an unfortunate
one. The lawyer in question was an
unmitigated scoundrel, whose chief
harvest was reaped from indiscriminate
blackmail, and very soon the girl dis
covered this fact to her sorrow. For
the INSCRIPTIONS scoundrel, having OBJ
tanned full details Of her position. to-
gether with certain compromising doc
uments. proceeded to obtain from her
various sums under threats of ex-
posure. and it was not until she had
parted with all her savings and was on
the verge of desperation that she sum-
moned sufficient courage to lay the
whole distressing business before her
father. The latter relative at once took
very active measures to bring the viii
lain to justice, but, owing to some
legal technicalities, the case fell
