1T is a matter of pride with them to take the
matter as coolly as possible, and thus earn a
reputation for pluck among their fellows. The
better class of criminals when in prison behave
eXcellently. They know that this is the only

their lot, and they are extremely careful to
avoid any infraction of the rules They almost

THE cork OAK.
The Cultivation of the Trees From Which
Cork is Obtained.


In the cork tree that species of oak
whose elastic bark is of SO much practical
value in the manufacture of the familiar
shoppers to the millions of bottles and jars in
which it is becoming more and more the Gus
tom to preserve oil kinds of eatables and
drinkables. many Of our colonies might find
profitable gi Of agriculture. The cork
harvest in Sp,s5i, Which, with France, Por-
tugal and Italy, is the principal source from
whence we derive cur supplies, is becoming
every year more scsnty, owing to the greed
of growers, who have injured the stock of
trees by stripping them Of their bark too fire.
quently The tree which produces the most
valuable cork docs not come to maturity for
quarter of century, and can only be
barked to advantage every eight or ten years;
but the temptation to make rapid profits has
been too great to withstand, and the result
has been the injury or ruin of many plan
tations. Some of the quick growing varieties
produce an inferior, porous kind of cork,
but the best are the slowest of growth

softened for the purpose, india-rubber and
other contrivances. The French Govern
ment, seeing the desirability of securing as
large share of this trade as possible, have
for several years past given special encour-
agement to the formation of plantations of
the eork-oak in Algeria, and the same thing
will, no doubt be done in Tunis; but the
tree will grow equally well in India, Central
America, the West Indies, many parts of AT
rica and Australia and in the South Sea ISL
ands, and planters in our possessions there
might lay the foundation of profitable in
dustry by introducing some of these trees
and starting their systematic cultivation.
The tree besides being most valuable one
and easily cultivated, is of magnificent
growth, and would form an ornament in any
landscape Colonies and india.

What the Style IN Mirrors is--Their Manu-
incture and Sale.

Very stout persons will buy a mirror that
gives them more slender appearance, and
the thin and angular viii choose the opposite
kind 1t is related of man, who was called
joker, that in the dressing-room of his stout
and slightbuilt friends he had mirrors placed
that wonld compliment their respective per.
sons Some mirrors of tho cheaper kind
will make the face broad in one position and
narrow in another, and tho person using
such a one has only to turn the glass to suit
his particular fullness, or lack of il. II 10
one OF the delights of a shop-keeper's life to
observe the characteristics of persons who
buy mirrors. Some will not look in them.
Others sareafthemselves with great earnest
ness. One woman was heard to remark |:
should like to know how I look in this
glass with my best dress on y
The standard mirror of the day is a long,
narrow one that rests upon its own base,
which stands upon the floor. The mirror
that rests upon marble slab at some dis.
lance from the floor is not so near tho style
as the one mentioned above. An ebony
frame with gilt ornamentation is the proper
bit, rejecting furniture for pnrlor or thu
more pretentious drawing-room. These are
the latest, and cost fifty to seventy-fy
dollars. The wide mirror for mantels are
used and some prefer them. As said before,
the American mirror is not equal to tho for
eign make, that is to say, We can apply the
quicksilver, but tho glass must DO made
abroad for fne mirrors. The largest house
in the country is in New York. Ii imports
glass from France and Germany and makes
the mirrors at home. Mirrors are twenty
five per cent, cheaper than formerly. A
great many mirrors are sold every year.

The Windham County reformer. (Battleboro, Vt.) 1876-1897, 1882-10-13

HENRY WARD BKEoHER, at a meeting of
the New York and Brooklyn Association
of Congregational churches Tuesday, for
mally announced his withdrawal from the
orthodox fellowship. He stated his po-
sition, theologically, precisely as it has
been understood for years. He believes in
the divinity of Christ. He holds to the
inspiration Of the Bible as yet forth in the
Westminster confession. His theory Of
the atonement is the moral influence theory.
In his opinion, the Bible does not give
authority to say that future suffering is
endless. Beecher himself and his opinions
have come to be Of very little consequence |;
but the important and the gratifying fact is
that, in politely bowling him out, the asso-
citation expressed the opinion that his views
were not in necessary conflict with those
of the church. 1t is another proof OF the
great strides towards liberslity of modern
religious thought.

sox, of The New Hampshire Democrats

soxz Of the New Hampshire Democrats
are beginning to swell with hope that there
Is again q chance for them to carry the
state. And there ia no doubt that If the
election were to be held to day, they would
do no by heavy majority; but money is
very likely to change the aspect of affairs.
Col Edgerly and the Democrats act as II
they were sincere In their determination TO
frown down the demoralizing cash canvasses
that have so often disgraced the party, but
no one is so green as to imagine that Hale
or the Republicans will have any scruples
in this matter. There is SO much purchas-
able stuff among New Hampshire voters
and 80 strict partisanship among decent
men who don't sell their votes, that 1t seems
almost vain to hope the Democrats can
hold their present advantage. Still, Judg
ing from the state press, there is deep
dissatisfaction in portions of the state over
Hale's nomination, and it is barely possible
that it may show up surprisingly on cleo
ton day. The Milford Enterprise refuses
to run up Hale's name and fills its blank
space with the words, ANY man you can
conscientiously vote for" The Suncook
Journal edited by an old soldier, refuses
thus far to say word in favor of Hale, but
is full of compliments for Edgerly. Inc
Manchester Times and Peterboro Transcript
which have been holding off, appear not to
be ready to head bolt, but say nothing
good for Hale. 1t is claimed that the OPP
position in Hale's old county is weakening,
but its organ, the Keene Observer, insists
that hosts of these Republicans are going
to scratch the ticket Altogether it is
healthy, even If Intellectual opposition.
Mr. Hale is personally. we believe, fine
man; but like the money bags who get
into politics, he has allowed his wealth to
be used in the basest ways, and he deserves
nothing but defeat.

The new compulsory education law
for children, applying to all those be-
tween the ages of six and thirteen years,
is at last fairly launched in France, and
a weeks operation of it has failed to clio
it that opposition from the clerical inter-
est which had been 80 theoretically
threatened. Although it was denounced
in advance from the Vatican as one Of
such impiety as ito drive God from the
schools" and as a criminal project
against religion and every high interest
of the country, there has been no open
and visible demonstration against it
thus far, and it certainly looks as if it
was to be pesoeably aquiesced in and
.coepted. IL is an extreme measure
compelling all parents alike to send
their children to the public schools; but
