Too Railing in Earnest.

An old farmer in Morgan county,

years 2 rolling logs together, stacking

two hunters emerged unexpectedly from

Why Some COrks Are Made by Hand.

VIZ OOA nv ~ AAN
The reason for making champagne
COrks by hand is curious and interesting.
The cork machine is provided with Cir
cular knives of razOrlike edge. Now, the
crude cork IS SO rough and hard that if
it We're applied to one Of these rapidly
revolving knives the knife would at once
be ruined. SO crude cork that is to be
cut by machinery must be sOftened in a
steam vat. 1t IN out almost pulpy
and cuts like cheese. But the steam
takes the life out of the cork. It's
elasticity is gone, never to be recovered,
and when the machine cut cork is
driven into a bottle the cork tends to
shrink and permit leakage.
Furthermore, the machine made cork
is automatically round, while the
necks Of bottles are more or less irregu-
lar. AS the machine made cork has lost
its elasticity, its smooth, round surface
cannot swell ont to fill n i~rregularity
in the neck of the bottle, and here is an
other source Of leakage.-New York

Does Modern Education Educate?

One Of the greatest disadvantages OF
an exclusively college education IS that
it is apt to foster what Macaulay calls a
Chinese cast of mind,' that stupid con-
tempt of everything beyond the wall of
the college mans celestial empire. The
defenders of Il college education claim
as their own every man Of distinction
who has attended college, whereas these
men became eminent authors, lawyers,
statesmen, etc, in spite of the fact that
they spent several Of the most valuable
years Of their lives at college, and were
only saved from the 0%bscurity Of the
majority of college bred men by syste-
matically neglecting the dull routine Of
prescribed studies and spending their
time in desultOry reading.
Bacon, Dryden, Sheridan, Byron.
Scott, Wellington and many other illus
triOus men went to college. but dis
dained to subject their intellectS to the
antiquated curse Of studies prescribed.
Who We're the senior wranglcrs at col
lege when the men just mentioned were
cutting the classics and reading history
poetry and fiction: The very names of
the successful scholars are unknown,
but the idle young men who refused
to be tied to the mental corpse of a dead
literature made their anne immortal
