New Building Material from Waste Glass.
The utilization of all kinds OF waste
material offers in spite of our industrial
progress OF to-day q wide field to the in
Ventor. We see residue of all kinds a.
cumulating in an alarming manner and
causing bothersome labor, ,whileif worked
up nationally it would yield a number OF
useful by-products. Accumulation of
waste glass is one OF the bores of glass
house managers. A little Of the broken
or condemned glass can be used again in
the batch, but what to do with the piles
left is sometimes hard riddle to solve.
Garchey, FrenchmsD, has solved this
riddle. He grinds the waste glass and
puts the powder into metallic mold
which he introduces into two furnaces in
succession, in order to devitrify the mass.
The first furnace serves for the gradual
anneslipg Of the mass so that all the
parts are devitri6ed as uniformly as pos
sible. The mold remains about one hour
in this furnace. Owing to their pulver-
lied condition the glass molecules are
finely separated, and suffer very quickly
the devitrifying action of the heat. Be
coming soft the molecules weld together
and form very consistent dough. In
this condition the mold is taken out OF
the furnace and put into the second fur
mace, that is heated up to very high
temperature. In this furnace the mold
is left for only few minutes. This sec
ond operation is intended to complete
the identification and to make the mass
more plisble. Then it is ready for being
pressed into different shapes. Garchey
produces in this manner all kinds Of
ornamental or other building stone,
which is generally called ceramic stone.

Necessity Of ThOrOughnega.

It is passing strange, in the broad
light Of our progressive nineteenth
century, that so many parents fail to
appreciate the fact that thoroughness
in some particular department is Of vital
Importance to the happiness and pros
perity Of their daughters, while among
men it is deemed indispensable.
"My sons must be thorough in what
ever they undertake." exclsims fond
mother, "but my daughter need only
tax herself with such accomplishments
as meet the demands OF society,""
This mother but voiced the sentiments
Of numerous others, who fail to recognize
the injustice of a thoughtless conserva-
tism to social prejudice; and thus are
dwsrfed these buds, which in a more
exalted atmosphere might have bios
somed to perfect flower.
"Whst," exclaims happy wife and
mother, gazing proudly upon the little
ones who cluster about her, "do you
think / crave a happier sphere than
thisY My husband is devoted to me,
my little ones are all l could ask, and in
my home I reign its happy queen"
True, this mother can ask nothing
better; she is fulfilling life's highest
mission; but she forgets that she is but
one among vast throng Of mothers.
A delicate girl, who has been educated
to meet the demand OF the social status
in which she moves, enters the bonds
Of mstrimony, and through the death
Of the husband--or some worse misfor-
tune finds that she, the petted darling
OF ease and luxury, must now become
the bread winner, not for herself alone,
but also for her helpless little ones who
look to her for sustenance.
But, what can she do? Thorough
ness was not q part Of her education,
and she is unable to instruct in any OF
the accomplishments OF which society
required but the surface. In despair
she resorts to physical labor; and as a
natural consequence, nature rebels
against the over-taxation Of delicate
constitution, and ere many months
another victim drops from the ranks Of
the vast army OF oVerworked women,
leaving her helpless babes without q
protector.
This is not the overdrawn picture Of
a pessimistic imagination, it is simply
one instance among the myrisds about us
Every woman cannot become happy
wife aud mother, but it is within the
power Of every woman to become
thorough in some one particular depart
ment; and parents should soberly con-
slider it's momentous Importance, that
their daughters may be prepared, should
necessity demand it, to stand alone

WHEAT GOING UP,
Another Raise of Four Cents on tho
Chicago Board of Trade.

Another Raise of -Four Cents on tho
Chicago Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, Oct. 2O.-Another raise Of
four cents was added to the sensational
raise in wheat. The Chicago December
price went to 1890. It was up over
three cents at the start. The motive
for the advance vas very strong cables.
Everywhere in the world large adj
vances were reported. Liverpool
prices were up six cents a bushel since
Saturday, and there were liberal buy
ing orders in American markets at the
start from the other side. The volume
OF speculation at Chicago was very
large = so large that individual
operators counted for nothing. 1t
looked, though, as if all the big traders
who have been most successful on the
advance, were realizing profits. To-
ward the close there was said to be
some selling on foreign orders. Last
cables showed a slight reaction from
top prices abroad. The Chicago mar
ket declined over two cents from the
top, and closed 21dc below the highest
price and Ike higher than Saturdays
last price. The statistical news was
oearisI.

&SASSs
New York, Oct. 2O.-One hundred
and sixty-seven Armenian refugees ar
rived on the steamship OLDHAM to-day
from France, and were at once trans
ferred to Ellis island, where they were
examined by the health authorities

and did not appear to have suffered
any privations.
The refugees were met at Ellis
island by representatives of the Saliva
ton Army and the w. C. T. u, a rep
resentative of the Red Cross Society
M several charitably disposed per-
sons. They were grouped and photo

tatiyes of the Christian Herald.
A protest from the residents and tax
payers of Hohokus county, N j., was
presented to DR.. Senner, commissioner
OF immigration at Ellis island. At
noon DR.. Senner was not in a position
to state whether the 167 Armenians

Intense enthusiasm was manifested
by those present. especially over the
reading Of a letter from Mr.. Gladstone.
In this Mr.. Gladstone expressed the
hope that the meeting would worthily
crown the Armenian meetings of the
past two months which, he said, were
without a parallel during his political
lie. The great object was to strengthen
Lord Salisburys hands and to stop the
series of masSacres, which were proba-
bly, still unfinished, and to provide
against their renewal.
Mr.. G~ladstone's letter concluded as
fol ows: II have had special oppor-
tunitics of knowing of what materials
the Sultan, with all his obstinacy, is
made. From deplorable and disgrace
full causes he triumphs for the moment,
but for the moment only. In the face
OF civilized mankind he has recorded
the final condemnation, first and fore
most OF himself, but next and no less
effectually those who have been his
willing brutal and sa~nguinary tools"
The meeting unanimously adopted
resolutions expressing adherence of
the Armenian massacres and support
OF the British government in it's efforts
to stop them, appealing to the powers
to cooperate with that object and ask
ing all nations and creeds to assist in
h succor Of the helpless and starving
ArmenianS.

A MYSTERY IN AN ARREST.
A Missouri Sheriff Takes Strange Pre-
cautions to Hide a Prisoner.

ST.. JOSEPH, Mo, Oct. 21.-A mys-
FERROUS arrest has been made at Mary
vile by Sheriff Pixler of Nodaway
county, and the nan arrested is sup
posed to have been implicated in the
murder Of Mrs. Baumle near Arkoe, a
short time ago. The prisoner was
brought secretly to the Jail here with
his head wrapped in a blanket and his
arms and legs chained. The sheriff
has refused to allow anyone to sec him
and refuses to give out any informa-
ton concerning the prisoner.
Since Hez Rasco, the l6-year-old boy,
confessed hat he committed the muir
der there has been doubt about the
truth of his confession. Sheriff Pixler
himself docs not believe the boys story
altogether, and thinks the crime was
committed by another. The prisoner
he is holding now was captured in the
country near Maryville and was taken
into town in a wagon at midnight.
The fact that the sheriff refuses to re-
veal the identity of the prisoner has
aroused the suspicion that he is a man
OF some prominence.

SPAIN HAS TROUBLES.
PHlLLIPPlAN ISLAND RE-
VOLT SERIOUS.
h Rebels May Succecd-The Spanish
Forces Are in Dang r OF Final Defeat
Keinforccments Needed at Manila linz
mediately--Spanish Brutality.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. e1.-Advices BY
the steamer Peru from Singapore and
Hong Kong, up to SIP cmber 81, state
that the rebellion in the Philippine
islands is much more serious than has
been generally recognized. It is said
that the reports of revolutionist de-
feats sent out by Spanish officers have
been greatly exagg~ .ated. and that SO
far the rebels have more than held
their in the struggle for indepen-
dence. 1t is stated that the revolution
is now beyond the control of the
Spanish authorities, and that unless
reinfOrcementS are sent to Manila i'm
mediately, the S"anish forces are IN
dangerof tinaldefeaJ. The rebels low
hold the province OF Cavi O.. are well
organized. and have 5000 Manser rifles.
There are many natives in the Spanish
troops. and the officers are afraid to
take native regiments into the interior
because their LOYALTY is doub ed.
The Hong Kong Press says editori-
ally that there is no longer room for
the least doubt that affairs in the Phil
lippine lslants will in a short time as
sumo the proportions of the Cuban
rebellion. The natives are determined.
AS each rebel writes an agreement, he
signs his name on his arm with blood
and swears vengeance against the
~Spaniards.
The story of the ORIGINAL plans for
striking the blow is a most serioas one.
For a long time The natives have been
conspiring to overpower the govern
rcent, and it was finally decided to
make a strong attack on the 18th Of
July. Governor General Blanco was to
have been murdered by one Of the ma
tives on that day. and it was arranged
to swoop down suddenly upon the body
Of officers who attended the funeral,
Eill as many as possible, then ransach
the town Of Manila and take possess
sion of the place.
1t was due to a woman that the dia-
bolical plot was discovered. In the
confessional, she disclosed the plot to
the priest, who divulged the secret.
The arrest and imprisonment of many
natives plainly indicated that the
priests were cognizant of the arrange
ments, and then. towards the end of
August, the fighting commenced in
real earnest. From that time up to
the middle OF this month, the date of
h latest news, there were repeated
bloody conflicts between the govern
ment forces and the natives. The Ma
nilla correspondent, under date of Sep
TENDER 2, denies that the Spanish
troops defeated the rebels on August
81. The writer says:
Eight rebels killed at St. Mesa;
counted six or eight at San Juan, be-
side those on the Spanish side. The
bodies (rebcls) are being left unburied
to rot. Over 100 Of them, some say $50,
were shut up in a small room under
the bastions Of San Sebastian Intra
Muros on Monday night, no water: n
small window. Fifty-four found dead
in the morning; with those prisoners
since died, said to total seventy"
