MILLIONAIRES PALACE. TO BE bttelt almost wholly o» STEEL AND GLASS. Th<* Sovel Structure That a Callfor niu Cr®su» Will Kreet—Not a Foot of Wood Will lie Used. ALPH BRISBANE NONE such, who is reputed to have made a fortune of $25, 000,000 in South African dia mond mines, has purchased a 500. ^retract in the Teinescal district,near Francisco, where he will erect a novel residence, a palace, in fact, upon which $1,500,000 will be expended aside from the finishing. This is to bo „ structure built almost entirely of steel and glass, The building, ac cording to the American Contractor, is to be about 230 feet long by about 100 feet wide. At one end it will be surmounted by a tower 115 feet high, at the other end by a similar tower, bat of less size and height. A strik ing feature will be the sides below the cornice, which slope to the ground, with a curve at an angle of forty-five degrees. In the sloping sides are set oval windows twelve feet long and made to conform to the lines of the sides of the walls. The roof will be a huge gable extending the entire length of the building and terminating in another gable at right angles in which are placed immense stained glass win dows, one of which will be fifty feet long and thirty feet wide. Not a foot of lumber or wood iu auy shape is to be used in the building. The material will be iron, steel, alumi num, brass, bronze, platinum, And silver, the concrete, cement and stone. only stone used will be sculptured marble in the stairways and the main frieze, and onyx and decorative marbles in tho bathrooms, the stairs and a few other places. Even the foundations will be of steel and concrete. The floors will be of concrete, brass and alumi num, the walls of steel and the roof of steel, brass and copper, The inside walls will be some of oxidized sheet iron, some brass covered with a prep aration that protects the burnish of metal, some copper, some nickel and so on to correspond with the decora tions of the room. The ceilings will he arched and relieved here and there ,ith great brass medallions. The par tition walls will be composed ot met.1 grilles extending iro n fiooi to ceiling, arranged m various designs, forming a vast network through which the visitor can see from the grand stairway at one end to the great ball-room at the op £ dmanly 091 V n cover A the metal g«Ue iTA > and l°lA d x .Si chambers and consist each of a suite of room, heating, lighting, ventilation and cook ing will be done by electricity. The servants’ quarters, the kitchen, the machinery and the laundry will all bp m the basement. The water wheel and dynamos will be located at the foot ot he hd], a considerable distance from he building The sole entrance to he basement from without will be at the, foot of the hill through a tuiine , so that no one from within or about the house will seo the approach or en tranee of servant, grocer butcher or delivery wagon of any kind The struetiire itself vn\\ be sur rounded by a broad walk, and outside of the walk will be an artificial lake surrounding the building and forming a moat to be crossed over a movable drawbridge, thus placing the This house lake practically upon an island. will be fed by water from artesian wells already in operation and pumped U P % powerful pumps. The water of the lake will also serve to run the dynamos that furnish light, heat and power for use in the building. The floors of the building will be of brass and aluminum grille work of orna mental design, the interstices tilled with a new Hungarian cement which is said*to become hard as granite when set and to admit of a high and durable Polish. The cement will be of various colors and so laid with the metal grille to surpass in effect any mosaic flooring in existence. The winter Palace at St. Petersburg is now having a floor laid of this material and on similar lines. Everything about the molding is to be fireiiroof except pier flaps a part of the furniture. Even the draperies and tapestries will be dipped fli a solution of glycerine and ammo flium borate, which renders them permauently uninflammable. Inconsistencfe* oT/I„»,a,. Nature. Among the apparent inconsistencies ^uman nature is the coupling in the same person of abilities in music and fliathematics. Nearly all the great c °mposers were apt at figures, and Ilow and then one finds au arithmeti cmn who is a good musician as well. ‘ fleh a one is a professor in one of our Extern y tor colleges geometry He and seems calculus, almost eon- to esses that he takes little pleasure in ’omaaceor in vi s „al beMty, 1,«« .... e 5 6 for color but » keen one for and form Jr* and infant U1 1 would "° U seem ’ to bo » T u » man who , was mcapable , oi iho ^motional force required for the per ”® anee of music; yet, next to atheruatics, . music is his greatest de and not only does he play cor rectly, but he plays with remarkable ex Preasion. —Chicago Herald. True Marriage. A happy wedlock is a long falling in love. I know young persons think lovo belongs only to brown hair and bluwp, round, crimson cheeks. So it does for its beginning, just as Mount Washington begins at Boston Bay. But the golden marriage is a part of love which the bridal day knows noth ing of. Youth is tho tassel and silken flower of love; age is the full corn, ripe and solid in tho ear. Beautiful is the morning of lovo with its proh etic crimson, violet, saffron, purple and gold, with its hopes of days that are to come. Beautiful also is the evening of love, with its glad remem brance and its rainbow side turned toward heaven as well as the earth. — Theodore Parker. Hood Position in a Bank. The following letter explains itself: Merchant’s National Bank, Rome Ga., April 27, 1893.-Professor R. W, Jennings, Nashville—Dear Sir: No doubt you will be surprised to bear from me, but as I know you are al ways glad to hear from your “boys,” I will tell you that I have been elected book-keeper in above named bank. I don’t say it because I am writing to you, but I have said to many others that the three months I spent with you was worth as much to me as was the twelve years’ schooling I had got ten previously. I have compared my books which l used at Jennings’ Busi ness College with the books of several other colleges, which other young men from this section attended, and they all acknowledged that your course is much more thorough and practical than the schools they utt ed.

What to do with scorched places on cloth is a question that sometimes puzzles the careful housewife, If the scorch is not too bad, dipping the the ar ticle in soapsuds and hanging it in sun for some hours will be likely to remove it.
