While reading in bed After a time sba
awoke and found herself in darkness buf
Delng sleepy, gave no thought as to how
the gas was turned off. Taking a shawl
from her shoulders which she had nIaced
there while reading, Miss Weaving reached
out TO put 1t on a chair which she knew
stood beside the bed. She felt the shawl
drop on the floor, and, picking it 1p again
essayed 10 place it ON the chair The sec
ond time her hand came in contact with
mans head. At first she thought it was
her younger brother who was DIavino
some trick on her, but in the same instant
she remembered that her brothers. hair
was not curly, while that of the man
whose head her hand had touched was.
Miss Weaving acted promptly. She
grasped the man firmly by the hair, and.
drawing him quickly towards her, clasped
tne other hand round his throat, calling
vigorously for help while she was in the
act OF securing the intruder. When Miss
Weaving's father reached the room and and
lit the gas, the burglar, for such the in
truder proved to be, was almost cholFed
to death. If the fact Is taken into CON
sideratiOn that Miss Weaving. although
only young girl, weighs PIT pounds and
is DuIlt IA proportion, it will be seen that
tne prompt arrival of her father was little
less than providential for the burglar.
Inc latter, who was turned over to a
ponce 01i1cer without loss of time. gave
his name as Charles Reynolds. and said
he resided at No. 2,217 Lexington avenue.
IN this city, Reynolds was indicted ly the

THE CORK CROP.

The cork harvest in Spain, France,
Portugal and Italy, whence the princi-
pal part Of this supply is obtained, is be-
coming every year more scanty, owing
to the greed of growers, who have in
jured the stock of trees by stripping
them of their bark too frequently. The
tree which produces the most valuable
cork does not come to maturity for a
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 plantations. Some Of
the quick-growing varieties produce an
inferior, porous kind of corks, but the
test are tie siowest of growth. The
French Government has lately given
special encouragement to the formation
of cork. oak plantations in Algeria, and
England is urged to do the same in India
and in her Western colonies.

pApEn rN,uE oIDEs TIME.

Pliny says, in regard to the uaking OF
paper in the olden times, in fleet, as
follows Paper is made Fl ON the
papyrus by splitting it with needle
into very thin leaves, due care being
taken that they should be as broad as
possible. The sheets of papyrus pith
are laid upon table, and moistened
with Nile water, lengthwise, as long as
the papyrus will admit of, the jagged
edges being cut from either end, after
which cross layer is placed over it; the
same way, in fact, that hurdles are
made. When this is done the leaves are
pressed close together and then dried in
the sun; after which they are united to
one another" The great manufactory
and mart of this ancient paper was
Alexandria, and during the first few
centuries of the Christian era it formed
an important article Of commerce.
Writings ON papyrus exist belonging to
the fifth and sixth centuries, and there is
evidence OF its having been used as late
a. the seventh. Indeed, it does not APP
pear to have been wholly given up till
the time of Charlemagne. The cypcrtts
panyrps has now disappeared from
Egypt, making good the words OF
Isaiah "The paper reeds by the
brooks, by the mouth of the brooks shall
wither, be driven away, and be no more
seen." The cyperus papyrns grows on
the marshy banks of rivers in Abys-
sinia and Syria; it is alse found to some
extent in Sicily; but in ancient times it
abounded on the shores Of the Nile. 1t
is of the same order as the bulrush, but
of much larger growth. The stem is
triangular, surrounded by long grassy
leaves that spring from near the ground.
The flowers form fattened spikes from
fifteen to twenty inches in length, gar
nished with long, silky leaves. These
flowers were much used in Egypt to
form garlands for crowning the statues
Of the gods.
