Some Interesting Statistics.

It is said that each year Is peo-
pie out of every 1000 marry. Of
each 1000 men who marry 861 are
bachelors and 139 widowers, while
of each 1000 women only 50 have
been married before and 9O2 are
spinsters. Twelve marriages out of
every 100 are second marriages.
The average age at which men mar
ny is about 81, while the average at
which women marry is about 25
years. Out Of every 1000 persons
6O2 are unmarried, 345 are married
and,53 widowed. Over one-half of
all the women between Is and 45
are unmarried. In all countries
about 5 per cent of marriages prove
barren. Among the English nobil-
ity IS per cent are childless. Mar
ried women live two years longer
than single ones, although l in ~
dies in childbirth. If the mother
dies first the father survives -
years, but if the father dies first the
survival of the mother is III years
as an average. Two thousand four
hundred and forty-one births occur
in England daily, about 80 for each
1000 inhabitants. February is the
month in which the greatest num-
Der of births occur, June the month
in which occur the fewest. The
average number of births for each
marriage is ABB. In every 1000
births 10 are twins.-Pall Mall Ga

Finer than the Spiders Web.

Fibers Of unequaled fineness, use-
full for scientific purposes, can now
be made by melting rock crystal in
an oxy-hydrogen jet and drawing
1t into threads, then drawing these
threads into the finest fibers by at
taching them to the tail of an ar
row, which is shot from cross
bow. Threads of less than ITO, 900
of an inch are produced, and they
are stronger than steel. Their ends
cannot be traced with a microscope,

you must have, first of all, faith. Out
of this boiler the cook dips bowiful
of clear soup and into it he pops in
quick succession little from each pot
of boiled vegetables he is serving for
that day. He gives it all a stir, and
presto! There is your vegetable soup.
Notice all the orders for soup that
come in and for every one you will see
him go first to the big boiler.
Is it consomme? From big pitcher
he pours into the clear stock some
brown thickening fluid. Is it macca-
roni? A pot of boiled maccaroni is near
at hand and he forks a few strings in
to the bowl. It is ox-tail? A big tin
of condensed ox-tail soup stands
on a handy shelf. and a spoon
tul lends its flavor to the
stock. Is it chicken? He thrusts a
pair of tongs into the boiler and
brings up morsels from the depths
until enough scraps of chicken are
found to pass muster. Is it tomato?
A squirt of weak but thick tomato
catsup does the business. Is it rice?
Some of the rice pudding is available.
More rice, some thickening and fist
full of curry-powder and you have a
curry. A little thickening and a kid
ney from another pot makes the kid
ney stew always in demand. That is
pretty good, is it not. for one '.illu-
sipn," and yet that plain man does
not call himself a necrOmancer much

boiled, is turned into boiled hafibut.
becomes baked halbut, or bluefish, Or
paddock at his simple touch. With
the aid of few biting sauces they be-

pudding is with him only the differ
ence between hot and cold and van

The boiled rice Of the curry Or the
soup, with milk, sugar and a little
nutmeg. is straightway rice pudding.
Tapioca and sage come out of the
same dish, and it is wonder how he
remembers all the names he calls his
cottage pudding by. A boiled egg is
one of the few things that defy his
magic, but after watching him for
awhile one would hardly be surprised
to see him bring it out of the pot

AMERICAN CORK OAK.
It's Growth in California No Longer q
Matter of Experiment.

It's Growth in California No Longer q
Matter of Experiment..
The growth of cork oak in CaIifor-
| MIA is not matter of experiment; it's
success was demonstrated long ago.
| The distribution of cork acorns by the
| Patent Office, about twenty-five years
ago, may not have accomplished much
in other parts of the country, but it
gave us a start, and there are now
trees yielding cork and bearing acorns
at a number of different places in the
State. There are trees growing on
Mr.. Richardson's place at San Gabriel.
There are samples of cork and acorns
shown at the San Francisco citrious
fair by H. A. Messenger. of Calaveras
County. There are trees of similar
age in Senon1a, Santa Barbara and
Tulare, and perhaps other
counties. The State University
is growing seedlings from
California cork acorns, and will likely
have trees for distribution next year.
There is no doubt of the adaptation of
the tree to that State, as the widely
separated places above named all fur
nish proper conditions for it's growth.
1t is, of course, a crop for which one
has to wait some time. and therefore
needs patience in the planter.
All the corkwood of commerce comes
from the Spanish peninsula, where
trees abound not only in cultivated for
ests, but grow wild upon the mount
aims. The tree is like an American
| oak, with leaves similar to the oak,
| and acorns. It takes ten years for the
| bark to become a proper thickness to
be manufactured into bottle shoppers,
| life-preservers, or seine corks. When
stripped from the tree, it is to be boiled
| for two hours, cured in the
sun for week. and pressed into
fat pieces for baling and shipping.
The denuded trunk, like a hen robbed
of her eggs, does not sulk OR quit the
| business, but throws out a fresh cover
| ing for fresh spoliation. One tree has
been known to yield half a tom of cork
| wood. One pound of cork can be man
| ufactured in LA champagne corks.
| The .baled cork is sold to cork manu-
| facturers.
The most extensive cork mandatory
in America is in Pittsburgh. Besides
the ordinary demands for cork bark. a
good supply Of the buoyant material,
after being burned to make it still
lighter than the original material. is
! shipped to Canada and New England,
where it is made into seine corks. The
averge annual importation of cork
wood into this country, entirely at the
port of New York, is 10000 bales a
year. A bale weighs 100 pounds, and
is worth, On this side of the water.
