Uses Of Cork.

The Hghtness of cork makes it superior
to all other substances for life preservers,
for insuring the buoyancy of hfe-boats.
IT is also employed as buoys to float
nets. and in making waterproof shoes: 1t
has also been converted into and used as
gun wadding.
Cork, as is well known, is q non-con-
ductor of heat, and is porous. These
peculiarities have been taken advantage
of in the manufacture of water coolers,
which are much used in Spain. They
nre made of slabs of the wood, bent
round circular heads of the same, and
bound with hoops. The porosity of the
cork allows the water to Percolate slowly
to the surface, and there to cool IN evaPo-
rating, while its non-conductlng nature
prevents the heat of the sun warming the
water within.
About thirty years ago an ingenious
Frenchman introduced mattresses and
cushions in which cork, reduced to dust
or shields. was a substitute for feathers,
hair or wool. It might b. used alone or
| combined with the aforementioned ma
| terials. 1t was claimed that these would
make easy beds, smooth, light, and elias
| tic, and especially well adapted for use
at sea, where, In cases OF emergency
! they might be available as me-preservers.
| Buf it is evident that cork mattresses duo
not become popular. A variety OF walk

cork trees in Africa, and Spanish black

The First Female Novelist.

We hardly read of a single authoress
during the middle ages In those days
female education was almost entirely
neglected, except in rare instances. Ii
women possessed talent they were com
neIIed to hide it, No female novelist
worthy of the name appeared IN England
until the reign of George LII. The lady
Who first had the courage to brave public
oniDion was Frances Burney, the friend
of Garrick and DIR. johnson. Miss
Burnev remained unmarried until she
was nearly forty years of age. Romance
is then supposed to exercise n less
dominant power, but she, nevertheless,
had the imprudenoe to espouse Monsieur
d'Arblay. a French refugee, whose IN
come consisted only of a precerious an
unity of eIOO The marriage, however,
proved very happy one. Macaulay
describes Monsieur dArblay as " an
honorable and amiable man, with
handsome person, frank, soldler-hk e,
manners. and some taste for letters.
The pair did not suffer from poverty; the
wife became the bread-winner; and not
vaIv long after her marriage her third
novel Camilla" was published, by
which she is said to have realized over
reothousand guineas. Journal

The Horse and His Rider.

In the history of Rome, says Joseph
Cook, it is related that in 331, B. O.,
great chasm opened in the middle of the
forum. which it was found impossible to
fill. The soothsayer said it would close
when it contained what Rome possessed
of most value, and the state would be
perpetual. A noble youth named Nj.
Curtius demanded if Rome had anything
of moro value than arms and valor. He
mounted his horse, richly caparlsoned,
and. amid the silence of the people,
spurred him over the brink of the ire
mendous precipice wide Iiv. 1, vii. 81.
I have seen a striking picture OF this
somewhere. It represented the horse
and rider after they had passed the brink
and were descending to the unknown
depths. There was a remarkable con-
trast between the fright of the brute and
the unrutfied self-possession OF the man.
The limbs of the horse we're frightened to
his body and the muscles of his neck
drew his head to his chest, and shud-
dering terror expressed itself In the flash
sf his starting eyes. The rider was
serene and calm, with solemn express
sion of majesty on his face, as OF one
who lived with high thoughts. Ii !
were to spiritualize this picture should
say that It was no mean representation
of a ripe Christian departing this life.
The horse is the body and the rider is
the spirit. Flesh shrinking, spirit
steady and calm and solemn. Flesh
dreading the terrible shock, and spirit
wrapt in the glory of action, descending
that il may ascend.

The Making Of Memories.

young people whom we daily meet shall
be men and women it is our fashions
of dress and speech which they VIII re-
member for their quaintness and ours
Is not only the possibility but the ALSO
Lutte certainty of being made the repre-
sentative, in years to come, IN some
ones mind, of the spirit and character
of time that is past. We know no"
unwittingly men and women used 70 I'M
press and influence us. Instead, there
fore, of passing these memories hghty
by. or thinking that they are wholly
Germ, we should make them constant
reminder Of our own duty IN the line OF
influence. We can never tell the long
and ever-mulhplying mischief which We
may work by some wickedness or caro-
lessness of speech or acknowledging
forgotten by us as soon MS done. but
treasured up in little heart as a pos
session for a lifetime. And, on the
other hand, we should be far more anx
ions to multiply our wise words and our
kindly acts, If we realized more fully
how long they may survive IN places
where we never think of looking Tor
them. The memory Of a single kindly
deed. or word, or look, quickly forgotten
by MS. may be the one thing by which
some person shall longest remember us,
and by which no shall be chiefly IN
fuenced, so far as any act OF ours is con-
cerned.
Tho making Of memories is not a
thing In which We are responsible to
! childhood alone. So long rs the mental

wicked act or our hateful or improper
word e? We are responsible for the mem
Dries which men, women and children
have Of Us and our belonging; and tins
responsibility includes not only the non
performance Of bad deeds, but the do
ing Of good ones. Day by day and min
ute by minute we are making memories
which can never change hereafter. IL
there ANYTHING more bitter than the
Thought that our own evil memories Oh
ourselves are, through our fault, shared

sweeter than the thought that the treas

HeaIthfulness of Milk.

If any one wishes to grow fieshy, a
pint of milk taken before retiring at
night will soon cover the scrawniest
bones. Although nowadays we see
good many feshy persons, there are
great many lean and lank ones, who
sigh for the fashionable measure OF
pinmpness, and who would be vastly
improved in health and appearance
could their figures be rounded with
good. solid flesh. Nothing is more GOV
eted by thin women than a full figure,
and nothing Will SO raise the ire and
provoke the scandal of the " clipper
builds" as the consciousness of plump
ness in a rival,
In cases of fever and summer com.
plant milk is now given with excellent
results. The idea that milk is ieverish
has exploded, and it is now the physl-
clans great reliance in bringing through
typhoid patients, or those in too low a
state to be nourished by solid food 1t
is a mistake to scrimp the milk pitcher.
Take more milk and buy less meat.
Look to your milkman; have large
sized. weli-flled milk pitchers ON the
table each meal, and you will have sound
flesh and save doctors bills.

Smothered in Their Beds.

A Geneva correspondent of the London
7y,,,es writes: x strange occurrence
happened few days ago at St Cierge,
a village in Jura. The principal room
of am auberge there, known as the Cert,
was lighted by q hanging petroleum
lamp. above which had been placed, for
fine protection Of the ceiling, metal
plate. In course Of time tho weed work
above the plate became desiocated, and
one evening last week it took fire, and
when the inn-kesper and his family re-
tired to rest. was aglow-a fact, however,
which they do not seem to have noticed.
From the ceiling the fire was communl.
Gated TO the room above, and was hrst
discovered by a neighbor, who, early
next morning, observed smoke issuing
from the auberge door, gave an alarm,
when. rs none Of the inmates could DO
roused. the door was broken open The
fire. having gone on smoldering without
bursting into flame, had done little
material damage, and was easily extln-
gl1ished; but ~ the people IN the house
the aubergiste, his wife, and sister
we're dead. After the manner OF country
people. who have often horror Of fresh
air. they had firmly closed their windows
/ before going to bed, and the smoke
having no exit, had asphyHated every
one Of them.

American Olive OIL.

We notice in the Mining and Scion
tifc Press "A formula for making olive
oil on small scale, AS produced IN Cah-
fornia. comparing this with description
in the PhnrndccutiSchc HdHdeLsbtlU
of the manufacture of olive oil IL south
ern France. In California they grind
the olives before pressure. Tins appears
TO be all error; they should be crushed
between two stones turning against each
other vertically. We can quite under
stand that crushing leads to quite differ
ent results from grinding. In clder-pro-
ducinR counties iii England apples are
prepared for cider in the same manner as
the French prepare their olives, 10y grind
iup them under revolving stones Cider
thus prepared will keep for years, and
improves with age, some say, on account
of an essential oil pressed from the aP-
ple ping In America cider Is made
from crushed OF chopped apples, ana
posscsses neither the flavor or the keep
ing properties Of that produced IN DE Won
shire or Icrefordshire, England There
is another point which may be inPortah
on the "Rhone." The oil, when uttered

LOVING HANDS.

Der nv temples, kindly smoothing
All the aching from my brow,

As only IovfIlg ones know how
Like cooling drops of summer rain
Fingers fall upon my hair,
Resting the active, weary brain,
Freeing 1t from thoughts OF care
Let their touch Of sweet compassion
Ger my forehead mildly press,
And nv cheek so cold and ashen
Feel again their fond caress-
Loving hands, TO us they render
Sweetest services in life,
Guiding US with touches tender
From the ways Of sin and strife
