The Uses Of Cork.

The economic uses to which cork is
applied are much too numerous to pass in
review it will be sufficient to speak ci
one only, that of the manufacture OF
shoppers. For the purpose of stopping
bottles, cork was not generally used till
near the end of the seventeenth century.
Many substitutes for it have been pro
posed, but except in the case of arated
liquids none of these have been gener-
ally employed. In the manufacture Of
bottle corks, the bark is cut up into
slips, which, by means Of gauges, are
made narrow or wide, according to the
size OF the corks or bungs wanted. The
slips are then cut into squares or Sc quar-
tiers, which are trimmed into the re-
CURED shape by means of a very long
thin knife, kept very sharp. In this
operation the knife is kept immovabic,
while the cork is drawn over it's edge BY
the workman. The corks are then
thrown into baskets and sorted out ac-
cording to size by women and children.
Cork cutting in Catalonia and the South
of france furnishes a livelihood for a
considerable portion OF the population of
those districts. Several attempts have
been made to cut corks by machinery,
but they have not succeeded in super
seding hand labor, which is compare
lively cheap abroad. The machine
which is principally used for this pur.
pose was exhibited in operation at the
Paris Exhibition it was worked by a
woman, and near her was seated man
patiently carving out his corks with the
usual knife). quite as neatly and nearly
as rapidly as the machine. The cork
cutting machine is an instrument simii-
ar to carpenters plane working in a
groove, the knife being horizontal. The
slip or cork is placed between two
chucAs, and by pushing the plane along
the groove the cork is caused to rotate
Ill front of the knife as it passes along.

Once on time-'twas late in March.
The day was mild and hazy-
The daffodil and violet,
The hyacinth and daisy
Were whispering softly underground,
No other flower near them.
Except crOcus, who had lust
Peeped out, then stopped to hear them.
"Me'k tarry here, " they said, "until
The Summer-Qu diecloees
The morning-glories and the pinks,
The marigolds and roses,
"ith them the brightest sunshine comes,
And birds that sing most gayly,
And lovely butterflies roam through
The fields and gardens daily.
For, 1t we answer April's call, =.
Wen sill of US be lying
6eneath the grassy ground again
Before Jure-bees are flying.
So let her call-we will not stir
Until We hear May going,
And then, among the suminer-biooms,
Oar blossoms Well be showing.n
"Not co." the pretty crocus said.
"You foolish little flowers,
IT'S spring that gives you longest life;
Her kindly sun and showers
Are Your best friends-tiley make you fair;
The summer heat would bring you
speedy death, and bees and birds
Afuneral dirge would sing you.
"Hark! April Iaughs-her heart is glad
To think that you will greet her;
Do not delay moment, dears,
But follow me to meet her."
And through the mold she pushed her way,
Still calling, Follow. follow
And soon were full of dainty buds
The garden, hill and hollow.

gentleman residing in the vicinity O

A gentleman residing in the vicinity of
Wachita, Kan, relates the following
singular case of somnambuliSm: He
states that last winter his son Charles
had severe attack of fever, and while
sick would get up regularly every night ut
midnight and walk about the house, APP
parcntly fast asleep. Nothing singular
was thought Of this as long as the young
man continued sick, but his nightly
ws,lks have been repeated since his re-
coycry, and more recently he had been
in Tie habit OF going out of doors, and Il
careful watch has been kept upon his
actions. About week ago his father
found him in the stable grooming one OF
the horses, and at another time feeding
tie hogs, on each occasion being fast
asleep, and the time being about mid
night. But low comes the strangest thing
of all.
On last Sunday night about 12 o'clock,
midnight, the young mans father and
mother were awakened by terrible rat
Ting upon the side of the house. Slip
ping on their clothing they went into the
yard, when they discovered the young
man seated upon the top of the chimney,
clothed only in his night-shirt and hat.
Fearing to awaken him, they quietly
watched his actions. In few moments
lie arose, and, waving his arms as if adj
dressing an audience, said: eve will
sing, All hail the power of Jesus namc;'
after which, in loud voice, the young
man himself sang the entire hymn and
sat down. In moment he rose to his
feet and said: 81 take my text this eve
ming from first John, fifth chapter, and
twenty fifth verse;" and then he repeat
cd. Verify, verify l say unto you the
hour is coming, and now is, when the
dead shall hear the voice Of The Son q

After repeating tais seise. the young
man proceeded to preach sermon about
fifteen minutes long. After concluding
the sermon he himself sang the doxology
and pronounced tie benediction, after
which he began to climb down by way
of the lightring-rod. Before he reached
the ground his father placed a tub of cold
water where he would be compelled to
step into it, and lie received good wet
ting, bringing him at once to his senses,

Hidden and mantled in living green,
