Colonel T. P. Moody, q prominent

In 4 recent letter from 5000 Michi-

says the following. scfr 1855 .>-r-
"For over twenty-five years I
suffered from cafarrh, and for
over ten years 7 suffered from

my wife, as many in the southwest

Catarrh in its various forms is rap

cred by Dr.. Hartman. This remedy has
been thoroughly tested during the past
forty years. Prominent men have
come to know of its virtues. and are
making public utterances on the sub

save the people. To save the people
we must protect them from disease.

BOTH SIMPLE AND DIFFICULT.

The Chinese Language Has No Grant
matical Rales, Bet Is Made Up Of
Many Dialects.
Paradoxical though II may sound, we
are strictly isithin 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
maticai rules and inneetional forms
which vex the student Of European
languages; most difficult because of
the combination OF different languages
and all known as Chinese.
The hook" 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
win link the eighteen provinces to-
gether as long as China remains q ma
tion.
The possibility Of two Cinnamon
meeting each other. and. while eae
speaks Chinese. being unable to in
dulge in mutual conversation in that
language. will at once serve forcibiy to
illustrate the pronounced differences
Of the Mongolian tongue.
1t would be mere correct to say that
China possesses number of lam
guages, distinct and separate. and
each subdivided into numeros dialects,
linguistic condition which at once
suggests the absence of railroads Oh
other means Of bringing the various
provincials. into conversational con-
tact with each other.-Frederick Poole.

onerous, and involve a great deal of
travelling and living away from home.

A Word About alycer,.e.

Since SO many people use pure giyc-
crime for the skin, word Of caution
seems necessary. II you apply little
glycerine to the tip OF your tongue you
will find that, although il has pleas
ant, sweet taste. the first sensation
that is felt is one of pain and burning.
This is caused by the fact that giycer-
inc has strong affinity for water, and
that 1t absorbs all the moisture from
the surface which II 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 giycerine ought to
have been at first mixed with an equal
bulk OF water. This being done, IL
may be applied to the mcst tender SUR
faces without producing injury, and, as
ii 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 II Is
necessary to understand somewhat of
its manufacture, and to recall the
properties OF the chemicals Of which 1t
is composed. These materials are
chiefly soda, potash. lime, aiumina and
oxide Of lead. The quality of the glass
to be manufactured depends upon the
amount of the basic material uniteo
with the silica or sand. The best glass
is made with lead, which gives to II
luster, fusibility and high refractory
powers. 1t is often called flint glass.
to distinguish 1t 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 il sends
forth when struck. This test may be
made without any danger OF breaking
the glass. If 1t be held firmly in one
hand while the upper parts or edge, is
sharply struck with pencil or other
instrument, the only care requisite be-
ing to see that the glass does not touch
any object when 1t is struck, since, II
there be room for II to vibrste, glass
viii never break.--Harper's Bazaar.

estimating Quality Of Butter.


Most makers OF butter on the farm
would be offended IL told that they
did not know good butter or were not
able to score their own butter Yet
such is the case; and 1t applies also
to creamerymen that make business
of making butter. A man cannot Judge
Of butter without comparing it with
other butter. The commission men
that handle large quantities of butter
are able to tell very closely, but even
they are often thrown of the scent
when they go to creamery and try
to form a correct opinion OF butter
without means for comparison. The
maker of butter on the farm need not
therefore be surprised IL he or she fail
signally In forming true estimate OF
their product Surrounded by the
aroma Of the butter and the milk. as
well as OF the other odors in which the
butter Is made, 1t becomes difficult for
the maker OF the butter to really form
a correct opinion Of its value. Just
as person coming out OF the open
air into q closed room can detect odors
that the people that have been q long
time in the room cannot detect. SO
the maker in the midst Of the odors
OF butter making has q taste deadened
to proper appreciation Of true havors-
1t therefore becomes necessary for all
that wish to make the best commercial
butter TO submit their butter to the
Judgment Of men that are free from
all Influences likely to bias the taste. !
