The National Conference of Charities

state boards of charities of Wisconsin

ings of these two boards were held in
Chicago in 1872 and in Milwaukee in

conference national, the first national

Exposition.

PARIS, May AT the coming ex-
position there is to be beautiful "lu-
minous palace in the middle of gar
den whose velvet green lawns will be
shaded by tall forest trees.
The chief facade will have the aspect
of an immense portico, whose roofs,
surmounted by companies and by a
winged statue of light, will be sustained
by high colonnades. On the right and
left will be grottoes of shimmering spun
glass. The walls and the cupola and even
the flying figure surmounting the edifice
are to be of nodded glass.
The materials are simply hollow glass
bricks nodded like bottles. These bricks
are very light and are held together by
invisible threads of cement. Fastened
together in this way glass bricks may
be used for all purposes of building.
Walls and demes may be built as re-
sistant as those of stone or brick. The
color effects are produced by putting
Two pieces of glass together and solder
ing them one against the other. The
face is colored separately and welded to
the uncolored glass,
Such glass bricks as the inventors of
the palace Of light propose to use are
now an article of manufacture. For
many years attempts were made to pro-
duce glass strong enough for building
purposes, and now process of anneal-
ing has solved the problem.
If the ideas of the French glassmak
ers are realized glass may become
valuable material. A strong product
which lets in light while it shuts out
dampness will be useful in working out
the problems Of overcrowded cities The
fireproof qualities of glass would make
it invaluable for use as partitions in
closed in plaster. P. T.

1t Took Broken Leg TO Get the
Chair Repaired.


1t is stated that one morning recent
ly young fellow who had Just secured
a clerkship in government office was
considerably startled hy little scene
that he witnessed. An elderly man, one
of the senior clerks in the room, sud
denly rose from his desk. dragged the
comfort table chair on which he had
been sitting into the middle of the
room, seized poker and attacking the
chair with great vigor succeeded in
breaking one of lis legs. When 1t was
done, the official gave sigh of relief
and flung the chair into corner of the
room The budding Junior. first thought
was that his senior had suddenly taken
leave of his senses and he almost ex-
pected that his colleagues would put
him under restraint But to his aston
ishment the other clerks hardly raised
their eyes while the work of destruction
was in progress. Before the office work
was over the newcomer sought lnforma-
tion from one of his fellow clerks.
Can you tell me, " said he, ''why
Mr.. Dash carried on in that eXtraordi-
nary fashion? mean, of course, when
he broke a perfectly sound leg off the
chair in which he had been sitting.
''Oh, that was all right" replied the
other with meaning laugh. "A caster
had come off one of the legs of that
chair. and, you know, my lords will
not provide us with new casters; they
will attend to nothing less than broken
leg So Dash had to break one of the
legs to get his chair put right at the
public expense. London Standard.

CIENFUEGos, Cuba, April 30.-One of
the most serious problems presented to
those engaged in the reconstruction
work in Cuba is the care of the army
Of orphans made by the late war. The
problem, in fact, is larger than the
statement of ii at first blush imports.
1t involves the present care and future
fate of many, many thousands of wild
ows, orphaned boys and orphaned girls.
One of the noblest features of the Gu
ban struggle for freedom is the well au-
thenticated fact that thousands of men,
pacifcos and noncombatants, slowly and
patiently starved TO death that their
wives and children might have food and
life. The result is that the Cuban cities
are filled with women and children who
are husbandless, fatherless and helpless.
a few days ago the writer saw three
women sitting together at public
meeting. a Cuban general stated to
party of American officers that those
three women had los. | 4 male relatives
husbands, fathers, sons and brothers
in the three years of the late war and
now were without support save by their
own individual efforts
