How to Make Burnt Cork.

The popular impression about the APP
plication of burnt cork by minstrel per-
formers is that it is rubbed ON the face
and hands of the performer from a cork
whose end is charTed in "a convenient gas
Jet. This is incorrect. To supply the
burnt cork used by minstrel performers
of this city occupies the entire time and
earnest attention of one interesting char
acter. A little man, whose place of bus
mess is on the curbstone on the north side
of Pine street, explained to reporter the
process Of making it.
81 first gather my corks. | get them
from the big bottling houses, who buy
lots of bottles-many of them with corks
that wouldn't keep the air out of wine1r
beer.
"When get ready to burn l put the
corks into those three wash boilers you
see there with holes punched in their
sides and bottom, sprinkle alcohol over
them, and set them afire. Then fill one
of those muslin sacks with the charred
cork, and knead the sack in this barrel of
water That forces the powdered char
coal through the sack into the water.
"When / have worked all my charred
cork through this sack into the water, |
drain the water through close canvas
sack you see on that frame there, and
what remains in the canvass sack is ready
for the artists. | put it up in one pound
tins, and they use it out of them. When
performer is ready to black up, as they
call it, he takes a little of this black paste
in his hands and washes his face, neck
and hands in it, and he is blackened as
you see him on the stage. San Fran

A Queer Tomb.

In the ancient burying- ground at East
Rockford, this State, there is curious
tomb, which is visited by many people
in the course of year. This is the tomb
of General Solomon Low, who was buried
here in 1861, and who died at the age of
seventy-nine years. 1t was designed by
himself, and has on either side Of the
entrance two handsome white marble
grave-stones erected to the memory of
his three wives, who are also inferred
there. On each stone are carved pic.
lures of his wives. The first two arc
represented with their children around
them and infants in their arms. They
are sitting in antique chairs with straight
backs. The two wives represented on
the second stone are sitting in modern
rocking chairs beside center table, on
which are books. The fourth wife is
still living. When the ad jacent ground
was used for a muster-feld the tomb was
always opened for one day, and the gen
erals regimentals were exhibited there
in accordance with the directions in the
will. boston Journal.

AInclrY Chnnce.

OF all mon no doubt the mechanic and
laborar sufIer more from disease than any
other class-Iot always in the disease ltself,
but the circumstances surrounding their
cases! Who can depict more horrifylng
scene than that Of the prosperous mechanic,
who by some dreadful disease, Is reduced IN
flesh and strength, having no power of con-
troll, helpless prey to some maladyr Per
haps the family of the worthy man may be
suffering for the necessarie5 of life, all be-
cause "father" Is unable to work.
Why then do not ali men grapple with the
first SYMPTOMS of disease (of whatever name
or nature), and thereby prevent this sad
picture.
This is lust what Mr.. HIRAM FRANKLIN, of
Nauqatuck, Conn, did when he began to feel
a heavy, dull pain In the small of his back,
which steadily grew worse until he had to do
one of two things: either give up work or
de- or look around for some meat1s to cure
kidney disease, and lucky chance threw in
his way safe and certain means of de-
liverance.
The facts in Mr.. f. g case are these: His
business (mason and builder requires him
to be exposed in all sorts of weather. Re
Gently; from severe cold, he contracted a
disease of the kidneys, and like many others
began using everything at hand. Not find
ing any help, as O last resort he began taking
Hunts Remedy. The first bottle giving de-
cided benefit, he continued its use until he
had used three (3) bottles, when all trouble
Disappeared Mr.. F. is now attending to
business, we'll man, and recently remarked
to an acquaintance: "One trial convinced
me, as it will YOU" We need scarcely add
Hunts Remedy is purely vegetable, and

suffering from kidney ard liver complaint,
