Gladstone Found Time 10 be Kind.

The business man iorgets,as do many
of us, the truth expressed by Ruskin,
that "a little thought and little kind.
ness are often worth more thana great
deal of money"
The great demand is on their hearts,
not on their purses. In the matter
of kindness we may all be great, and
if the prime minister OF one Of the
greatest nations in the world, man
whose pen and tongue and brain were
constantly exercised in behalf Of the
poor and oppressed, wherever he found
them; if the Grand Old Man Of En-.
gland, William +. Gladstone. could
find time to leave bis pressing parlia-
mentary duties, to carry a bunch Of
flowers to little sick crossing-sweeper,
shall we not be ashamed to make for
ourselves the excuse, Il haven't time
to be kind"

The Chemical View OF Tears.

Tears have their functional duty to
accomplish, like every other fluid Of
the body, and the lachrymal gland is
not placed behind the eye simply to
6ll space or to give expression to emo
tion.
The chemical properties OF tears
consist of phosphate of lime and soda.
making them very salty, but never
bitter. Their action on the eye is very
beneficial, washing thoroughly that
sensitive organ, which allows no foreign
fluid to 10 the same work. Nothing
cleanses the eve like a good salty
shower bath, and medical art has fol-
lowed natures law in this respect, adj
vocating the invigorating solution for
any distressed condition Of the optics.
Tears DO not weaken the sight, but
improve it. They act as tonic on
the muscular vision, keeping the eye
soft and limpid; and it will be noticed
that women in whose eyes sympathetic
tears gather quickly have brighter,
tenderer orbs than others. When the
pupils are hard and cold the world at
tributes it to ones disposition, which
is mere figure Of speech implying
the lack of balmy tears, that are to
the cornea what salve is to the skin
or nourishment to the blood
The reason some weep more easily
than others and all more readily than
the sterner sex has not its difference
in the strength of the tear gland, but
in the possession of a more delicate
nerve system. The nerve ibers about
the glands vibrate more easily, causing
downpour from the watery sac.
Men are not nearly 50 sensitive TO
emotion their sympathetic nature
that term is used in medical sense
is less developed, and the eye gland
is, therefore, protected from shocks.
Consequently man should think of the
formation of his nerve nature when
he contemptuously scorns tears as
woman's practice. Between man and
monkey there is this essential differ
ence of tears. An ape cannot weep,
not so much because its emotional
powers are undeveloped as Of the fact
that the lachrymal gland was omitted
in his optical makeup.

BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat of an almost end
less variety Of diseases. They are known
| by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per-
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
disfguring pimples.
Eternal vigilance is fise price
of a beautiful complexion
when such remedies are relied on.
Mr.. II. T. Shobe, 27o4 Lucas Avenue, ST. Louis,
Mo, says: my daughter was afflicted for years
with dishguring eruption on her face, which
resisted all treatment. She was taken to two
celebrated health springs, but received no bene-
fit. Many medicines were prescribed, but with
out result until decided to try S. S. S., and by
the time the first bottle was finished the eruption
began TO disappear. A dozen bottles cured her
completely and left her skin perfectly smooth:
She is now seventeen years old, and not a sign OF
the embarrassing disease has ever returned"
S. 8. S. is a positive, unfailing cure for
the worst forms of skin troubles. 1t Is
the greatest of all blood purifiers, and the
only one guaranteed purely vegetable.

Anaconda Literary Club.

One of the most interesting meetings
the Womans Literary club of Anaconda
has ever known was held Saturday at
the library. This was probably due to
tn addresses given by Mrs. T. Buzzo and
Mrs. Clinton Moore of Butte. Mrs.
Buzzo spoke of the ACCESSIBILITY of the
club joining the state federation of lit
erary clubs.
Her address gave the members a
clearer idea of the federation and the
benefits to he derived therefrom and it
is probable that the club will soon join
the organization.
Mrs. Clinton Moore, who is president
of the Homer club, gave an interesting
talk regarding circulating libraries. She
told of the pleasure it gives the inhabit-
ants of mining camp to have a few
books in their midst, the scarcity of
which is felt in the many small towns
near Anaconda.
Mrs. George Welcome read the first
paper on the life and fame of Frederick
William Of Brandenburg and Leopold l.,
the great elector. Miss Mary Berry read
a we'll written paper on the War of the
Spanish Succession: Frederick !. of
Prussia and Joseph I. Mrs. Durston's
paper on Mozart and Beethoven was in

members being elected. One thing which
was discussed. and very timely it was.
That was the enforcement of the anti-ex-

there was no policeman in sight. No

was to have been read in February. but
which members exchanged on. She drew
his portrait with rather an unflattering
hand. She said he was vain an egotist

many incidents which corroborated her
statement. She told of his great admira-
ton for Napoleon. and of once when he
said when the longevity Of crowned heads
was alluded to, that 1.-The sovereigns were
afraid to die for fear that in the next
world they would meet Napoleon" Her
paper showed Heine to be a bundle of
contradictions

member then read a charming little bit
of Heine's Thou Seemest Like a

that point. Many thought Heine in keep

The afternoon closed by the singing of
two beautiful songs. one of those read by
Mrs. H.V. Sinchell, being accompanied by
Miss Sim. She sang in German, and her
pure, clear voice rendered the tender
song exQuisitely.
