How to Make Burnt Cork.

From the San Francisco Call
The popular impression about the application
of burnt cork by minstrel performers is that it
Is rubbed Oh the face and hands Of the per-
former from cork whose end is charred in a
convenient gas jet This is Incorrect To SUD-
ply the burnt cork used by minstrel performers of
this city occupies the entire time and earnest at
tention OF one interesting character. little man
whose place of business is on the curbstone on
the north side of Pine street explained to q re-
porter the process of making it.
Il first gather my cOrks. l get them from the
big bOttling houses, who buy lots OF bottles
many of them with corks that couldn't keen the
air out Of wine or beer.
"When l get ready to burn put the cOrks
into those three washboilers you see there with
holes punched In their sides and bottom. sprin-
kle alcohol over them, and set them afire Then
I'LL one OF those muslin sacks with the charred
cork, and knead the sack in this barrel of water
That forces the powdered charcoal through the
sack into the water.
when l have worked all nv 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 can

The Danger OF Painting China.
From the Detroit Free Press.

every time look at this china, said one of
the physicians who visited the Pittsburg homseo-
pathic hospital fair, ~ think of how the girls
have suffered. Lavender oil and turpentine are
used In working on china. Everybody knows
what turpentlne is, and the odor OF lavender
oil Is a combination of all that Is vile. The
fumes Of these liquids in close room amount
to poison that few girls can withstand.

Liszt's Ready KotOrt.

Liszt, the composer, has always been
for his social Independence.
When he was young man, in the very
brilliant period Of his early popularity, 40
years ago, he visited Vienna. The cello
brated Princess MetteTuich, wife of the
great diplomatist Metternich, was the
chief of society; her salon was the great
one of the day. She was a brilliant, cap.
tivating woman; clever, full of tine So
cety wisdom; one of the last one of the
race OF grand danes. The bluest blood
ran in her veins and she was as naughty
as Lucifor at times. At one of her ro
ceptiOns her husband who had invited
Liszt, took the celebrated young artist,
about whose musical and private life all
the gay people Of Europe were talking, up
To the princess, aud introduced him. She
was in one of her most naughty moods, as
IL happened. "GOur first visit To Vienna" 1"
she said, looking full front in the hand
some, stately young face. al hope you
are doing we'll in your business" "Ah,
Madame la Princess" replied Liszt, IL
have no business. That vexation belongs
to diplomats and bankers" For one In
slant the whole social world Of Vienna
looked on breathless at this passage of
arms between the queen of society and
the celebrated artist whose social successes
equaed his public ones. The princess
aud Liszt gazed steadily at each other;
| neither finohed; then she yielded gra.
ciously; and taking his arm walked
through the salons with him, aud was az
charming 10 him AZ il he had been prince
of the imperial blood. From that time
forward Liszt had no better and truer
friend than the Princess Metternich,

Why Irishmen Oppose Blaine.

AS the claim is being gleefully made
in Republican quarters that the Irish
voters are going over horse, foot and
dragons into the Blaine column, it may
not be out Of place to give briefly few
brazen facts in explanation Of the reasons
why Irishmen will not support the Re-
publican candidate
James q. Blaine Is the chosen head of
the party that claims lineal descent from
Alexander Hamilton, whom Blaine
quoted approyingly in his letter Of &C.
ceptance. The Federalist minister to
England, King, under HaDilton's sane
tion, helped to prevent the release of
Robert Emmet and his brave band upon
the condition of their emigration to
America. So bitterly did the Federalists
hate the Irish exiles that they passed an
infamous alien law requiring the regis
tration of all aliens landed, a fourteen
years residence before naturalization
and other vexatious restrictions on
citizenship. The elimination of this
war ON foreigners was reached In 1851
in the Know-NothiDg party.
James G. Blaine, In 1855, as editor OF
the Kennebec Journal, the leading Know,
Nothing organ of Maine, advocated a
twenty one years residence for foreigners
to entitle them to vote. The outcome OF
the bitter crusade was the tarring and
featheriDg Of Catholic priest, Rev
John Babst, on the streets of Ellsworth
Maine, in August, 1856, at the hands O
Know Nothing mob,
James G. Blaine, while conducting
the Known Nothing organ of Maine, ad
vocated the most proscriptive Legislation
against foreigners, even TO the extent IL
1856. of making 1t impossible for then
to acquire citizenship in the state. Tn
