PApier-AIache FOR Building.

A trade journal has the following re-
garding papier-mache: 1t may claim to
rival iron in the multiplicity of its in
dustrial applications. In Europe IL is
employed to considerable extent In
architecture, from q complete church
building In Bavaria Capable Of seating
1000 persons, having columns, walls,
affairs, roof and spire of papier-
mache, To thehnest traceries of u Gothic
screen. Some of the most tasteful halls
in Britain and on the continent are fin
ished in 1t, in preference to wood. The
mantels and the mirror frames they
support, are Of its composition; and,
strange as it may seem, the very chan
deliers, In their gilded elegance, are of
this humble material, Its use In archi-
lecture can literally have no limit; for
no one to-day can say what may not be
made Of II. In toys, tables, bijouterie
of all kinds, we have examples of its ex-
tensive uses, and suggestions of its
future applications. Papier mache
never cracks, as wood, plaster, terra
Gotta. etc., will do. In the same ar
tieles it can be- made, if required, far
lighter than plaster, terra-c0tta, metal
or even wood. Neither heat nor cold
affects it; il can be sawed, fitted, nail
ed or screwed, quickly adjusted or re-
moved, gilded, painted, marbleized or
bronzed. 1t can be made light as cork,
or heavy as stone; never discolors by
rust, as with ron: In not affected by
temperature or oxygen, as is even zinc.

and Ii even tougher than slate, quite as

advantages of papier-mache Is that 1T

costs no more, and sometimes even less.
This depends on the size of the orna
ment, the larger being the cheaper in
proportion. It can be made TO initiate
the rarest marbles, as it takes polish
even superior to slate, and costs not
half SO much as the preparationof plas-
ter Of Paris, known as scagllOla, while
it is infinitely stronger. Pedestals, col
Hmns, newell posts, vases, clocks, and
multifarous other articles are made of

A GOLDEN TRESS.

An me how slight circumstance
May move our beings deepest springs.

Can clutch forgotten passion strings,
And wake the old remembered tones,
TIL memory maddens TO the sur,
And all the past's obllvious bones
Leap living from the sepulc.,re.

or one who has been dead for years,
And such sudden loneliness
Fell on my heart aud on the spheres,
well nigh feared the Christ OF Faith
Had gathered all His sunshine in,
And left Us nothing but the wrath
OF dark selrshness and sin.
The seat beneath the hazel-boughs,
The woodlands where our feet did stray,
The quick, warm thrill OF whispered VOWS
That wore the precious time away,
The twilight depths of those dear eyes,
The reverent lips the sanity brow,
The E,len-hOurs of low replies,
Beloved. how they haunt me now.
Almost my heart had bridged across
The solem waters which did roll
Between my fearful sense OF loss
And every other human soul.
But nothing now surmounts the waves,
That wash my barren island shore,
Moaning like dead hopes from their graves;
All nevermore ah nevermore.

A Brief Honey moon OF a Soldier.

A case .of persecution which is exciting
great indignation in Somerville. Mass, has
just come to light. In 1896 Charles T..
Trask Of Boston, then sixteen years old.
enlisted in the United States army and
served three years. He then re-enlisted,
and was in the service continuously until
1873. when he found himself with his
comrades in close proximity to yellow few
er at Charleston, S. g. The young man
had but eighteen months to serve, and not
caring to die away from home, deserted
and came home. He told no one that he
had left the service surreptituously, and
has been engaged in honest business ever
since. few months ago he became en-.
amored Of Miss Mary Beliew of Somer-
Vile, and successfully prosecuted bis suit.
The young lady's brothers were bitterly
opposed to the match, and vowed that by
some means or other they would break it
up. In this, however, they we're unsuc-
cessful, tor the lovers were married. Three
days later came the revenge, whom file OF
soldiers from Fort Warren, accompanied
by q civil officer arrested the bridegroom
and incarcerated him in Fort Warren on
the charge Of desertion. Trask is without
doubt guilty Of the charge, and unless pop
ular sentiment is able to bring about a re-
vocation Of sentence, he will be obliged to
wear ball and chain.
