A Conditional Gift Declined.

The Episcopal diocese of milwaukee,
has refused a gift of 100000. Bishop
Nicholson has formally notified Francis
Keene that it is impossible for the Epis
copal diocese to accept the offer of the
Keene homestead for hospital purposes,
The action of the bishop was on the ad
vice of the diocesan hospital committee
Though the committee has not given NJ
hope of ultimately securing a huspita
for the Episcopal church in Milwaukee
the prospects at present are anything but
bright. 1t would not accept the gift be
cause of the condition that the hospita
should always be known as the Keont
hospital. Chicago Tribune.

A NEW ART PROCESS.
The Monotype Craze In Paris Is Reaching
Over Here.

Over Here.
An effective departure in art is the
new monotype that is beginning to find
its way to America from Paris, where
it has enjoyed for some months VIC
lent popularity. The process was discov-
cred by Hubert Herkimer, The artistic
folk of Paris were quick to SEQ its pos
sibilities, and the fame thereof few
like wildfre through the inhammable
painters quarters. Monotype parties
have been one of the latest fads of these
appreciative people Artists infected
with the Craze and their curious friends
gather in some accessible studio in ar
dent groups to tuln ont these pictures.
The excitement lies in the fact that no
one can forcsee quito how they will turn
out; the pleasure, not in the novelty,
though that, of course, contributes to
it, but mostly in the potent truth that
in no other way can the salle effects of
light and shade be obtained.
To produce the monotype the artist
paints his study upon zinc plate,
which is put through press. As the
name implies, only one impression is
produced Those that are done in one
color are the most successful as yet,
are very charming. The subtlety of GER
tain delicate effects, as, for instance,
sunlight on water, is rendered by this
new phase Of art in truly marvellous
manner. Although the cordiality of
Paris may not be expected, perhaps, in
America for the monotype, there can be
no doubt that they will be warmly re-
ceived here when they are once at home
in our ant exhibits, and when, too, the
public has learned to understand them
sufficiently to appreciate the fact that
a favorite study, produced III THIS way,
will not be found duplicated in neigh
boris drawing room. This is now the
fear of the careless art patron who seems
to have some ha2y idea of Ceilings in
his mind
The practical wife of an artist who
has lately returned from Paris with the
monotype fever raging in his blood com
plains ruefully, "Why, my husband
took the clotheswringer away from the
maids for press to produce those pic
tures" She smiled with woman's su-
periority as sh'Aadded: "He said they
could have it back again! Itwould take
at least three hours to remove that oily
paint with turpentine every time they
used it., r" With a sigh, II have bought
a new wrinper - So there ic.a s(lrf7i Il
side even to such gems of ait as this
wife displays with a pride that must
soften if it doesn't efface the domestic
Inconvenience.
The aesthetic side is Venetian scenes
in brown, an old stone bridge i'll gray,
mountain peaks and a seascape i'll blue
and cluster of picturesque willows in
green. Who could mind the loss Of one
wringer after feasting the eyes on such
exquisite shading, particularly if it ism t
her wringer?--New York Times.

Porous GLASS.
The Medical Prpss.)

The Partisan invention OF porous glass
for windows deserves some serious at
tentlon. 1t is claimed that the minute
pores OF the material admit air freely,
while its other qualities are such that
IL does not obstruct light. and II can be
fitted to any ordinary window-sash.
or course. II may be argued that there
are plenty Of methods of ventilation
already available. but against this may
be urged the almost insepanable accom-
panimcnt of draughts. The porous
glass. II the glowing praises bestowed
upon II be justified allows the ready in
let OF air without the slightest draught.
Under these circumstances ii seems pro-
bable that many persons who have rooted
antirathy TO ordinary methods may be
induced 10 have their dwellng-rooms
properly ventilated by porous glass. BY
the way, this new invention reminds one
OF the interesting observations made
some time since-was IT not by Petten-
kofer?-on the porosity Of bricks, and the
amount OF air that could permeate a
brick wall ard gIin admission TO the
interior Of room through that most I'M
promising method Of access.

THE IRON MARKET.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 29.-Whie little or no business was expected in the last week of the old year, there has been a fair run of orders, well distributed through the list. It has been customary in the past, in bid- ding farewell to the old year and facing the new one, to review the past and forecast the future. A review of 1894 is not a pleasant exercise. While there has been an improvement in the output of pig iron there has been no Improvement in prices. We began the year with weekly product of coke furnaces of 61 $50 tons and ended it with weekly output of 160 1888 tons. Stocks on hand declined from 437 ,000 tons In Jan- uary to 210, GOO in September and increased to 2S9 ,000 in December. This it will be seen is only about two weeks' supply if all the furnaces in the country were simul- taneously closed. It is thought the in- crease of production has reached it's limit until there is some improvement in price.
 The range of prices during the year has been downward, with the exception of one or two short periods of active buying, which temporarily stimulated values. Ala bama coke iron, No. foundry, started the year at Ell at Cincinnati and ended at S9.25. sented by reduction of freight rate. Gray forge on the 1st of January last was worth $10 at Cincinnati and today is obtainable at s6.50. The lowest point of values in south ern iron was reached in April and May, when S7 at Birmingham for No. 2 foundry and S6 for gray forge was shaded. Prices advanced during the summer 50 cents per ton on heavy sales, and this improvement maintained until October, since which time there has been further decline nearly, if not quite, to the late spring fg- ures.
 In Bessemer iron also the lowest points were reached in April and December. In May the coke strike stopped production, stocks were quickly absorbed and prices advanced $3 per ton. The advance was maintained for several months, until the large production again broke figures to $9. .65 at valley furnaces.
 Fprecasting the future it would be easier to express hopes than we'll founded opin- ions. The general expectation is that the extremely low prices prevailing will stim- Nate teconnumption of alfforms Of iron and
