Selecting Glassware.

To select glass with discretion 1t Is
necessary to understand somewhat OF
its 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
mount of the basic material uniteo
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 a 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 it 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 lever break.-Harper's Bazaar.

Owner Started with One, but Now Has
Twenty-S Six.
A horned toad from the plains of
New Mexico came to Kansas City
about a week ago, slowed away in the
pocket of a hotel cook, who brought it
along as a curiosity. For awhile the
cook carried it about and finally gave
the toad to George p. Huckett, who
placed it in a box of sand in the win
dow. The horned toad is a member
Of the lizard family, and this peculiar
specimen, with its spiked back, at
tracted considerable attention. Yes
terday morning when he went to look
after the load he found it busily en-
gagged in catching flies, but the reptile
was not alone. Basking in the warm
rays of the morning sun were twenty
five little horned toads, perfect coun-
terparts of their mother. They are
odd little fellows, no larger than a
thumb nail, looking very much like
baby turtles. Their coats vary in color
from the gray of a dusty road to the
rich red-brown of desert sand. They
are as lively as crickets, but when
handled roughly will curl up and 'play
'possum." But alas for maternal de-
votion! Mrs. Toad has forsaken her
children. She pays no attention to
them, and in the farthest corner of the
show window she stands with her face
against the pane, looking for some one
to take her away However, the de-
sertion does not weigh heavily on the
little horned toads. They catch flies
and scuttle about as merri,y as if shift
ing for themselves was an old expert
ence to them.-Kansas City Journal.

RIrs. Olberg, a Prominent Minnesota
Lady, Tell. a Remarkable story.
Albert Lea, Mimi, Nov. 19.-(Spe-
cial)-There are few men and women
In this state or indeed in the whole
northwest, who have not heard, or do
not know personally Mrs. Henrietts c.
Olberg of this city.
Mrs. Olberg was Judge of Linen and
Linen Fabrics at the Worlds Fair. at
Chicago, and Superintendent Of Flax
Exhibit at the International Exposi-
ton at Omaha, Nebraska, In 1898. Mrs.
Olberg is Secretary of the National
Flax, Hemp and Ramie Association,
and Assistant Editor Of the "Distan."
Her official duties are naturally very
onerous, and involve a great deal of
travelling and living away from home.
She says:
During the Worlds Fair in Chi
Gago, my official duties so taxed my
strength, that l thought I would have
to give them up. Through the con-
tinual change of food and irregular
meal hours, and a poor quality of va
ter, | lost my appetite, and became
wakeful and v in the extreme.

ficacy ST Dodd's Kidney Pills, and am

BOTH SIMPLE AND DIFFICULT.
The Chinese Language Has No Gram
NAUTICAL RGIes, But Is Made Up OF
Many Dialects.

The Chinese Language Has No Gram
maticaI 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 infiectional forms
which e 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 SUI
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 its 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 a 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
a linguistic condition which at once
suggests the absence of railroads OF
other means of bringing the various
provincials into conversational con-
tact with each other.-Frederick Poole

GIANT TREES IN OREGON.
From go to 80 Feet in m and
Moro Than 900 Feet Tall.

From go to 30 Feet In Diamoter and
More Thar 800 Feet Tall
/ would like to draw attention to a
bunch of immense trees in the noun
tains fifteen to twenty miles from my
place, near Latourell, on the o., r. G.
NJ. says a correspondent of the Port
land Oregonian. / used to make every
year a trip to the mountains, lasting
generally eight to ten days, and it
was on one of my last trips, about
four years ago, that 1 discovered on
the northeast side of the divide, be-
tween the waters of the Bull Run and
the Hood rivers, this bunch of giant
trees. The like l never saw before
or since. Before / saw these giants
! had measured from time to time
trees at home which girdled twenty
nine to thirty feet around about three
feet above the base, but these trees
could not be compared at all with the
big trees I found in the mountains.
They would appear as mere sticks
against those giants. I honestly be.
lieve that those giants will girdle sixty
to eighty feet around near the base,
and that they are $50 to 400 feet high.
They stand on a kind of fiat bottom
and this fiat is well protected from dis
covery, as far as I could perceive, by
steep and high bluffs not only from
the Hood river side up, but from the
main water divide down. These big
trees are, in my mind, somewhere near
the north line of the National park,
but it is doubtful if they are in 1t.
There are two species of the giant
trees. One species has a yellowish and
not very rough bark, is straight and
round as a candle, has limbs to an
immense height, and has a nice, won
derful crown. The father of this very
aristocratic species in our mountains
is surely the emperor of u forest.
People must not think that this tree
is the SO called noble fir because I
know not only the noble fir" but
many other mountain trees very well.
Nor must they think that this species
is one of the common trees in the
mountains. l cannot say how many
such giants there are. There may be
hundreds, there may be thousands. On
u way home one of my companions
was drowned in the Bull Run, and,
therefore, | never went to the noun
tain again, but I have always had a
desire to go and investigate further
about those big trees. Cedar is the
second species of the big trees. They
rival in size and grandeur the first
species. But the most wonderful thing
about them seems to be that they
are, in spite of their immense diam
eter and age, seemingly sound and
hard, through and through.
