PARIS, Dec. N.-Edward Parker Deacon
scored another victory yesterday in the
series OF law suits that have sprung up
between himself and his wife. Gladys
the eldest daughter OF the estranged
couple, was placed few days ago in the
Dominican convent at Neuilly. Mr.
Deacon applied to the court OF appeal for
an order appointing him to the guardian
ship of his daughter during the holidays
The application was opposed by Mrs
Deacon.
After listening to the argument Tn
court decided that while it would be In
expedient to appoint Mr.. Deacon qua
dian of the child, he should have th
right to have her every two days from
TO 3.
Mr.. Deacon subsequently declared tina
while the decision was practically victo
ry for him, he would refuse to accept Il
and would have nothing to do with tn
child under the French law. He addec
that he would appeal to the American
courts for his rights and for justice.

A GATHERING STORM.
The Pope Thinks the Present Outlook 10
Not Very Encouraging.

Not Very Encouraging.
ROME, Dec. 24.-All the cardinals at
present in Rome waited upon the Pope
yesterday and rendered him Christmas
congratulations. In reply HE Holiness
said that the signs of gathering storm
were visible to all observers OF moral and
religious conditions.
The European situation was pregnant
with ruin and disaster, and this condition
could only be brought TO an end by the
healing virtues OF the church, which her
self was being violently assailed.
In the course of his remarks the Pope
referred to the free masons, whomlhe con-
demned as a malignant sect who were
never true to the people, but who, unfor-
tunately, were supported by the govern
ment. His Holiness concluded by be-
slowing the apostolic blessing upon the
whole world.

The British public does not take
kindly to the suggestion of Lady
Brooke to raise fund to buy brandy
for the poor people who are suffering
from the grip. Her theory is that
stimulants are needed to help throw
of the effects of the malady, but the
highest medical authority in British
journalism declares that the idea is
erroneous, and that, even If it were
correct, the cure would be worse than
the disease. The medical view
Of the case has not in all
probability much to do with
the paucity of the subscriptions. Mr..
j. Bull, it is known the world over,
has the most profound faith in the
all-saving virtues of brandy, espe-
cially when it is blended with the eff
feryescent soda. Next to roast beef
nothing is so sacred in his eyes.
First, beef; second, brandy and soda;
third, the British constitution. But
brandy, in Mr.. Bulls opinion, is not
for the toiling masses. 1t must be
reserved for the aristocracy alone.
"Bittah beah' is good enough for the
mob. If that will cure the grip John
will contribute all his small change.
Let Lady Brooke try it.

Houses Made Of Paper.

A new use has been found for paper
in the production of building material,
which is said to possess all the better
qualities of hard flne-grained wood,
without being affected in form and
dimensions by the temperature and
humidity of the atmosphere. In the
preparation Of this material any
quality Of paper may be used, al
though manila is preferred. During
the process of manufacture there is
added to the paper pulp solution
consisting one part of starch, one
part of gum-arabic, one part of biz
chromate Of potash, and four parts Of
benzine to forty-four quarts of pulp.
The paper male from this combina-
tion is coated with cement made of
linseed oil and glue, and is then kept
under heat and pressure for about
one week, so that the boards made
may become thoroughly cured and
seasoned. 1t is stated that these
paper boards are capable of being
worked up the same as ordinary woods
of commerce for all purposes for
which the latter are used. During
the process Of manufacture the pulp
may be colored to represent any de-
sired kind of wood, and may be readi-
ly grained in imitation Of oak.

SINCE the mGneuvers of the French
army last year the public attention
in France has been drawn by compe-
tent men to the errors and faults
which marked the conduct of the
cavalry during those maneuvers.
These errors have been signalized es-
pecially by NJ. Joseph Rheinach, a
member OF the French Chamber of
Deputies, and himself an officer of
the reserves. He demands that these
errors be corrected at once. They are
not, he says, comparable to the vices
which existed in 1870, but they are
serious defects to be remedied while
it is yet time. The movements are
too slow and they are i'll conceived
They need more energy, fire and dash.
The best officers agree with NJ.
Rheinach in his criticisms and his
remedy. Nothing" says one of the
generals, "can justify the prolonged
hesitation of one of these divisions
TO march to the combat. A chief of
W
himself against the attraction arising
from certain positions which tend to
immobilize and thus transform the
cavalry, which is essentially an army
of movement, into an army OF po-
sition. "Is it," he asks, "the fear Of
the officer to expose his command to
the fire of the enemy's artillery which
hinders him from marching? Let
him remember that from all time we
have marched under the fire of the
artillery, and we must still so march;
and besides the artillery of the two
parties may or may not be of equal
force" Meanwhile, the General Gal
lifet repeats without ceasing: March,
march always to the combat upon
the adverse cavalry without pre-oc-
cupying yourself with his cannon
which has altogether less effect upon
cavalry the more rapidly it moves.
This recommendation, he adds,
should be the eyangel of the cava-
lier." And General Gallifet is no
doubt right.

THE malodorous Anthony Com
stock, whose methods Of suppressing
vice are such as to make many people
suspect that he is rather worse than
the vice he suppresses, did not win
much glory in his recent conviction
of Milwaukee bookseller for send
ing improper literature through the
mails. The evidence showed that
Comstock induced the man to COM
init the offense and then promptly
prosecuted him for it. "There are
some things worse than sending OBJ
scene matter through the mails, !"
said the Judge in pronouncing sem
tence. Fraud, and cheating, and
lying by Government officers are
worse" 1t would be well If this idea
co,,!d be impressed not upon Comstock
alone but upon other officials who add
the part of the tempter to the trade
of the detective.

If the youth OF to-day could only
be brought to consent to be as youth
full as their ancestors still are, they
would have great deal more enjoy
ment in life. They are so dreadfully
grown-up at 10, however, that at the
age Of 20 they are well nigh in their
dotage. The reply of an elderly
gentleman is apropos, who, when he
was asked why time-honored club

Piled: Because we old men who be-

Welding Glass and Porcelain to Me

Welding Glass and Porcelain to Metals.
M. Cailletet, according to the Lon
don Electrical Engineer, has commu-
nicated to the Societe de Physique a
method OF welding glass and porcelain
with metals, which may prove ex-
tremely useful for instruments OF re-
search or for any metallic fitting,
such as taps, communicating tubes,
conducting wires, ETC., so as to avoid
all leakage, even under high pressure.
The process Of welding is very sim
pie. A portion of the tube to be
welded is covered with a very thin
coat of.platinum. To obtain this de-
posit it is sufficient to paint, by
means of small brush, the slightly
warmed glass with completely neu-
trail chloride of platinum, mixed with
essential oil of camomile. The es-
sence is made to evaporate slowly,
and when the white and colored va
pors have ceased to be given off, the
temperature Is raised TO dull red heat,
and the platinum, being reduced,
covers the glass tube with a brilliant
metallic coating. Connecting the tube
thus petallically coated to the mega
tive rble OF battery Of suitable ener-
gy, it is placed in bath of sulphate
copper. A ring OF copper is deposited
upon the platinum, and strongly adj
heres thereto IL the operation has
been properly carried out.

In few things Is the progress of in

those whose memory can reach, say q
distance of twenty-five years, than in
the production and use of plate
glass. The time was, and it seems
but matter of yesterday, when the
name OF plate-glass was Indicative of
luxury and means. AS a feature of
business structures, it implied ample
capital, metropolitan situation, and a
vohminous trade; and none but the
very rich thought of indulglng in such
costly splendor in their homes.
Since then, the case has bravely

has been showered upon him, and
says he is about prepared to demon
strate the practicability of his inven-
tion. His greatest trouble was in
securing a substitute for the white Of
the hen egg, but he has conquered at
last, and when his machinery, now
nearly completed, is ready to begin
business, he will put fresh eggs on
the market at cost of three cents
per dozen. What an innovation that
will be, and what an uproar it will
cause among poultry raisers, who will
be besieging the legislatures and Con-
gress to place an embargo on the
manufactured egg, just as the cow
buttermakers did upon oleomargarine.
After the fashion Of the Massachu+
sets famers, who insist upon oleo be-
ing colored pink, the poultry raisers
will probably insist upon manufac-
tured eggs being dyed all the colors
of the rainbow, suggestive Of Easter
eggs.

THE FAMINE IN RUSSIA.

The famine now ravaging in Russia
extends to eighteen provinces, the
area of which is equal to that Of

inces the famine is partial, in the
other twelve complete. The official
paper, the Journal Of Finance, has
announced that twill take Is, 900, 900
bushels to keep the population alive

that all the facts concerning the i'm

made complete reports at that time
of the failure of the crop, and in the

In New York young girl was
locked up in the Tombs for twenty
four hours on charge of stealing 10
cents worth of dress lining. The
charge was brought by her employer,
and. the evidence showed that while
pressing a cloak she picked up piece
of cloth from the floor to use as an
ironholder. This was the piece of
cloth in question. Its value was 10
cents, and her employer had her
arrested on n charge Of stealing it.
The arrest was bad enough, but it

immediate aid were lost in tangle

EVERY failure is step to success;
every detection OF what is false directs
us toward what is true; every trial
exhausts some tempting form of error.
Not only so, but scarcely any attempt
is entirely failure; scarcely any
theory, the result of steady thought,
is altogether false; no tempting form
of error is without some latent chain

names were carved on monuments
which still remain. One of them,
