BUDDHIST NUNS.
How They Are Trained and the Obligations
Assumed by Them.

Strange to say, though we must have
conscious of having ever entered a
Buddhist convent, though these are
really numerous, and we occasionally
fell in with small parties of nuns,
whom, however, it was difficult to dis
tinguish from the holy brethren, save
by their diminutive size. Their dress
is precisely the same-namely a long
gray or or yellow robe, white stockings
and thick shoes, like those worn by
men, and their poor bare heads are
closely shaven--a process to which the
little ten. year-old novices are partially
subjected, and which is completed
when, at the advanced age of sixteen,
the full-blown sister takes the VOWS of
perpetual virginity, of vegetarian diet
and strict obedience to the precepts of
Buddha. These vows are made in the
presence of Koon-Y Yam, the goddess of
mercy, who herself was a canonized
Buddhist nun; and thenceforth the sole
duty of these little nuns seems to lie in
going from house to house, wherever
their services are required on behalf OF
deceased women, for whose benefit they
chant prayers to Koon-Yam the live
long day When this exciting work is
not required, they are said to spend
their dull lives in state of utter vacuity,
being literally without occupation, save
that some of the younger sisters employ
their leisure upon silk embroidery. |

noisy crowd who had assembled to re-

that he would have received the NOM
nation himself, betrayed no trace Of
disappointment, but spoke in his deep,
melodious voice, ''whose every tone
was music's own" saying:
81 thank you, fellOw-citizens, for this
friendly and respectful call. l am very
glad to see you. Some of you have
been engaged in IN arduous public
duty at Baltimore, the object of your
meeting being the selection of fit per
son to be supported for the Office of
President of the United States. Others
of YOU take an interest in the result
of the deliberations of that assem-
blage of Wings. 1t so happened
that my name, among others, was
presented on the occasion; another can
didate, however, was preferred. L have
only to say, gentlemen. that the con-
vention did. doubt not, what it thought
best, and exercised its discretion in the
important matter committed to it. The
result has caused me no personal feel
ing whatever, nor any change of con-
duct or purpose. What | have been I
am, in principle and character; and
what l am | hope to continue to be.
Circumstances or opponents may tri-
umph over my fortunes, but they will
not triumph overm my temper or my self
respect.
Gentlemen, this is a serene and beau
tiful night. Ten thousand thousand of
the lights of Heaven illuminate the
armament. They rule the night. A
few hours hence their glory will be ex-
tinguished.
We stars that glitter in the skies,
And gayly dance before my eyes,
What are ye when the sun shall rise?
Gentlemen. there is not one among
you who will sleep better tonight than
| shall. If | wake shall learn the hour
from the consultations, and | shall rise
in the morning, God willing. with the
lark; and though the lark is Il better
songster than am, yet he will not leave
the dew and the daisies and spring up
ward to greet the purpling east with Il
more blithe and iocund spirit than |
shall possess. Gentlemen. | again re-
peat my thanks for this mark of your
respect, and commend YOU to the en-
ioyment of quiet and satisfactory re-

''How many processes does this in

cork manufacturer.
"As you doubtless know" he
answered. ''the cork oak grows IN
Spain and Portugal, which countries
supply the world with cork. The tree
is successfully cultivated for its bark
and grows from twenty to forty feet in
height. The outer bark.--the external
layers of spongy cellular tissue-which
is stripped off for market Il year or two
before it would crack from distcnsion
and be thrown off naturally in large
flakes, is what is used, and this, having
mainly lost its true vitality, is Il burden
to the tree. SO that its proper removal
is beneficial. The trees ut the age of
from three to five years have Il fungus
appearance, on account of the rough
aud cracked condition of the dark sur
faces of trunk and branch. The bark
Of young trees is useless or of inferior
quality, but after the third peeling it is
suitable. 1t is removed at intervals Of
six OF eight years, and the trees con-
tinue to yield cork for upward of one
hundred and fifty years.
THE bark is taken off by making in
cisions upward and transversely and
by using a two-handled circular knife.
Then the slabs are soaked. heated on
the convex side to remove the natural
curvature, pressed flat, and specifically
charred to remove decayed parts and
conceal blemishes. Next they are
packed for market The slabs come in
thicknesses of from to 2! inches, and
are sometimes by 2 feet in size.
"The older the tree the better and
finer the quality of the cork, its cost
ranging from five to twenty-five cents
per pound. The slabs are softened by
being steamed for short time in
boxes, and are then cut into different
sized strips from which innumerasle
sizes of corks are cut, from quarter
of an inch in diameter at the top to the
largest flat cork. Druggists require
corks of fine quality. Some sheets
from old trees are thin and close
grained and are used mostly for fiat
corks and for druggists walls. The
sizes are mainly standard, and there is
no end to them. Corks were formerly
cut entirely by hand, the knives being
frequently sharpened, because of the
curious fact that the soft bark dulls a
tool more rapidly than metals. The
corks are now cut out by hollow revolv-
ing knives and tapered by hand. Cork
is expensive, but the waste is small, as
the unused parts can be utilized for
making Spanish black, burnt-cork
paste for MINISTRIES, etc. There are
two cork factories in Chicago and
numerous wholesalers, while the manu-.
facture is extensive in the East, saying
nothing about cork legs, floats, insoles,

A CURIOUS BANK.
The Treasure Troye Found by a Pennsyl-
vanki Carpenter.

want, Carpenter.
Some years ago, an old wooden
bridge spanned the Schuylkill river at
the foot of Penn street. Reading, Pa.
In the course of time more substan-
tial structure was deemed necessary,
and the timbers of the old bridge we're
carefully taken apart, and reserved for
use in repairing and rebuilding the
smaller county bridges. Whik"pre-
pairing some of this old timber for its
new use. few days ago, it became
necessary to saw off several feet from
a heavy piece, which was to be used as
a girder in Il small bridge under con-
temptation. When the end portion
dropped to the ground, the workman
was astonished to hear jingling sound
as of gold and silver coin. A sum-
mons of such good omen insured
a speedy investigation, which re-
suited in finding eagles, half
eagles, silver dollars, halves and
quarters mixed together in careless
confusion. The source of supply was
found in Il section about eighteeninches
in length and five inches deep, which
had been followed out of the log with
auger and chisel. An inch-thick cover
had been fitted over the opening so
cleverly and sealed with so much care
that detection, other than accidental,
was hardly possible. The treasure had
oeen confined in II homc-knit wooden
stocking. and as the saw cut offth toe,
l part of the contents was discharged.
The value of the deposit, though re-
ported to be considerable, was not
made public. The money was probably
hidden away number of years ago, as
specimens of three. five, ten, twenty
five and fifty cent scrip, nicely folded
up in piece of writing paper, were
among the contents. Not line ind-

possession is consequently divided as to
whether it should go to the workman

CLOTHING FOR DOGS.
A Trade Which Has Bee II Developed Dur

ing the Past Year.
Furnishing decorations and clothing
for dogs is developing into great
trade said a manufacturer to re-
porter recently. "In Paris alone nearly
two thousand persons are engaged in
this business, and the trade represents
nearly one million dollars capital. The
rage for dressing canine pets has
reached New York from Paris. Every
variety of dog has his peculiar dress
and proper toilet and toilet-cases, with
powder, sponge, comb and so forth. 1t
would be rank breach of dog manners
for bulldog to appear on the street
in the dress of another; indeed, the dog
would pine away from sheer mortifica-
ton. Smooth terriers wear bracelets
on some of their legs, and bear in mind
always put the ring on the left leg. That
rs the fashion. AS to collars, blankets
for cold weather, netting for warm
weather, the rule holds good--every
one to its own and no other. Wen very
soon have aristocratic dogs appearing
on rainy days in long-legged boots
made of doeskin and fastened on with
rubber rings. AT certain seasons of the
year dogs must be muzzled, and this
calls for fancy and decorated muzzles. "
