A Monopoly in COrks.

The cork business is very large and
profitable one, and, like many others, is
wholly under the control of an associa-
ton called the Cork Manufacturers
union. This union not only regulates
the price, but the size and length of
corks, even determining discounts to all
buyers, and giving in its circular list
of those dealers and jobberss who are
entitled to special discounts. 1t goes
further, and says that no corks should
be sold ON longer term of credit than
sixty days; that none should be sold to
druggists in New York. Philadelphia,
Boston, Albany, Troy, Portland, or
Providence, or to bottlers anywhere on
longer term of credit than thirty days.
This agreement is entered into for the
purpose of protecting both the importers
and manufac .urers in their endeavors to
promote the best interests of the cork
business. Before the union was formed
the larger manufacturers cut prices to
such an extent and sold so low that
smaller manufacturers could not live.
Prices are twenty-five per cent. higher
than form rly, owing to the rise in raw
material, or natural corkwood. but as
prices are as numerous as the sizes and
shapes of corks, it is impossible to give
them. The use Of cork increases very
rapidly. Heretofore the refuse cuttings
were thrown away, but now every piece,
| large or small is utilized. From the
clippings is made linoleum, kind Of
| q DOR cloth. Other refuse is granulated
and used in packing fruit. Shavings, OF
curled cork, goes into mattresses, which
are very cool in summer and more so IN
| the winter. The great use, however, to
which corkwood is put is for bottle
shoppers, and in this it supersedes all
other substances The cork tree is a
| species of oak called Quercus suber. It
grows abundantly in the south OF
France, Spain. Algeria and in some parts
of Italy. This country's supply comes

The Delightful Sensation of Hang

A remarkable accident, which
came close to being fatal in its con
sequences, is reported to have hap
pened yesterday morning to a lad
living at geo Columbia street. The
boy is about eleven years of age, and
named Doyle. Young Doyle was
out in the back yard waiting for
companion named Hughes to come
over with pigeon, with which they
were to have some fun. In the yard
was revolving circular clothes-line,
with arms, and which stood on
platform. Young Doyle was on this
platform, and was whirling the
clothes-rigging around when a Sec
ZION of the line dropped down, and,
catching the lad around the neck,
lifted him clean from his feet. He
was unable to get down, and hung
there in mid-air, as it we're. The
position was one of extreme peril.
Slowly the lad was choking to

to be one Of the chief endemic disorders of
all tropical America. The victims of the
practice never appear to be able to free them
selves from the habit Children, it is said,
acquire it almost from the breast, and "wo-
men, as they lie in bed. sleepless and restless,
will pull out pieces of mud from the adjoin-
ing walls of their room to crafty their strange
appetite, or will soothe squalling brat by
tempting it with lump the same material"
A negro addicted to this propensity is con-
sidered to be irrevocably lost for any useful
purpose, and seldom lives long. 1t is impos-
sible to keep the victim from obtaining the
injurious substance. Children who commence
the practice early frequently decline and die
in two or three years, and dropsy usually APP

OF course there is no truth in the above

any compromise with his creditors; has
always paid 100 cents on the dollar, and we
doubt not will always continue to do so. A
large number OF good men have been com

Landers is not one of them. He is possessed
of goodly share of this worlds goods, and
