CHAPTER xx.-EDGED TOOLS.

It was, on the whole, n bright time at
Craigdarroch. Mona found Mary a very
pleasant companion-a quiet, kindly, sensi-
BILE girl, whose hearty admiration and pro-
found faith was gratifying tribute to her
new friend. Uncle Sandy's uneasy pride
had perhaps never before been so satisfac-
torily fed, and. like all things thus satiated,
was lulled to sleep for the present II at
any time the currents OF his temper flowed

chafed; and Kenneth was moro inffexible
than formerly. IL was great relief to
Mona to have n partner in her readings
and writings and general care Of Uncle
Sandy. Moreover, Mary had learned TO
play chess with her father, the school
master. and allowed herself to bs beaten
with much ENTHUSIASTICALLY winning to
keep up the illusion.
Amid this temporary tranquility and
comfort, Mona wrote often to her dear,
kind Deb. She made. however, very slight
mention Of Lisle; but slight as it was, II

How the Duchy Of Prussia came to IL
Hnhanzo1lew~a

H~OhenzolleFnA
The country in question lies along
the coast of the Baltic, east of the river
Vistula. The natives-the Prussians,
or Po-Russians-were Slavs by race,
heather by religion, fishermen and
hunters by occupation; and they were
ever ready to fight, and fight bravely,
for their religion, their homes, and
! their independence. But the church
could not tolerate their religion. and
sought to carry them the Gospel of
Peace on the point of the sword. With
the sword the barbarians resisted; and
more than n pious expedition march
ed into the fatal disaster. At length it
was determined to call in the Teutonic
Knights-an order of chivalry founded
during the Crusades. and in the early
part of the thirteenth century settled
without employment at Venice. Those
Jealous adventures responded with
eagerness to the appeal. They receiv-
ed a grant Of the country from the Pope
and the Emperor, set about the con-
quest with energy and method, and
eventually subdneI the natives under
their authority aad hat of the Church.
For two centuries they governed we'll.
The country was prosperous, and the
knights. though Il privileged caste.
averse to labor, set at least an example
OF temperance and equity. But luxury
and idlcncss began finally to work their
effects. and by the fifteenth century the
knights had lost their habits of

Gently.
..How is this done?"
1.-THE bark which is intended for
corks is kept in damp place. When
taken into the shop to be worked it is
cut by the first workman into strips
the width of which corresponds to the
length of the future cork. A second
workman cuts these strips into squares
suited in size to their diameter. The
squares, strung. are plunged into boil
ing water to make them swell ont.
They are then stored in a cool place
and kept constantly moist by sprink-
ling till they pass into the hands Of the
cork-master. He applies them in sue
cession. giving them a rotary motion.
to the edge Of a wide-bladed knife,
drawing them at the same time slowly
along its length. and by skillful manip-
ulation transforms the square into
round cork. This is the French
method In other countries the work
men handle the knife in q different
manner"
Are many corks made IN this coun-

Yes. great many. They are cut
BY machine. Only the best are made
By hand To obtain good cork it il
essential that its axis. as it il cut from
