Michael Angelo was born over four hun

His fathers name was Ludovico Buonar-

angelo Buonarroti, but for four centuries
he has been popularly called Michael An

great position in law or politics, and An
gelo had been sent to an academy where it
was expected he would get q good educa-

Angelo made chalk drawings on the walls
and floor of his room This greatly disap-

A CHINA CLOSET.

A lady had an old fashioned china cup
board in her dining room. 1t was shut In
by a common, solid wood door. In that
closet was some very pretty china. AS 1t

from view became to her very serious
matter. This cut shows what she did. She
took out the old door and the old shelves.
The plastering was repointed and gone
over TO make it smooth. Then il was paint
ed a light chocolate brown. New hard
wood shelves were put in. Cup hooks were
screwed into some of them. Double glass
doors were provided, and the drawers and

The space between the glass doors above
and the shelf over the drawers is entirely
open. Thus one can set dishes in this
place and open the door above withoutdis-
turbing anything.

Tho Bnrk of the Cork onk.

In report Of United States Consul
F. ii. SChenCk are given some of the vGri-
GUS uses to which the bark of the cork oak
is put. He says:
Although what gives most value to cork
are the bottle corks, still it has other appli.
cations, some of considerable Importance,
such as plates or slabs for use on boilers,
room carpets, the making Of rugs, life pre-
servers, cork dust bricks, hats, album
covers, picture frames, jewel boxes, brace
lets and other objects Of adOrnment; soles
for shoes and boots, wheels Of small di,
mensions for railroad cars, and the grease
boxes of the wagons, and recently it is
applied as "COrchO larminado," or or.
namental slabs, the invention Of Don
Buenaventura Reull, of Barcelona, which
are employed to cover plane surfaces and
curves, employing them as carpets and
for other uses. They make, moreover,
huts for those who work at cork, and

In Italy they make images and crosses,

hives, pans and pals to deposit and carry
milk; in ornaments in gardens, for relief
maps to form the elevations, for floats in
fishing apparatus, for pals where they cool
water with ice or snow, etc. From the
imperfect combustion Of cork is obtained
Spanish black, product much esteemed
for making printers ink. To this we
may add that artists in Italy and Spain
carve pictures in relief in cork which have
much the appearance Of being nodded OF

for export now seem to prefer coarsely
granulated cork TO the traditional sawdust
packing.
