The application Of cork as a bottle

OF great antiquity. The earliest record

Romans had cork for shoppers for their
wine amphorae. Certain of the uses Of
cork were known TO the ancient Greeks
and Egyptians but whether they used
cork for stopping the mouths Of their
liquid vessels history does bot say. It

AN EXPERIENCE.
Two Extremely Dignifed and Conventional
Girls In the Country.

Two Extremely Dignified and Conventional
Girls in the Country.
There is a New York family which
has country place in Westchester
county. In the family are two young
women who lin town, at any rate are
EXTREMITY dignified and extremely con-
ventional. There is also a brother,
who became infa tuated with the idea
that it would be good exercise for him
to ride bicycle. On recent moon
light evening, when the brother was
not at home, the two sisters stole
quietly out TO the barn and brought
forth the bicycle. They were arrayed
in strange and weird costumes which
they had improvised for the occasion.
They wheeled the machine over 20
the tennis court and then, for the bene-
fit of the sleepless stars and the wide
awake moon, gave an exhibition Of At
tempted bicycle-riding which would
make the fortune Of a roof-gardeD
manager.
The result of that little Performance
not counting in the bicycle, may De
summarized as follows: One wrecked
tennis net, two broken poles. twenty
FIVE square yards of ruined turf,
crushed and broken shrubbery in large
quantities, one twisted ankle, one
knee-cap strained, one knee-cap
bruised. two arms stiffened, and seven
Teen separate and distinct blzck-and-
blue spots
Its funny say the girls, conf
dentially. that a bicycle goes hack
ward when you want il 10 90 ahead,
and can run into two dozen things at
one time.
"Wha; can't understand saws the
brother 20 the whole family, Is how a
load OF brick fell on nv bicycle when
il was locked I'D IN ;he barn
The girls have nothing 20 say % this
and when their brother = in their
presence they heroically walk withou.

are altogether too dignifed and proper
ever to get on a bicycle. il viii be

A WASHINGTON SCANDAL.
senator Stewart Objects to Joining Colonel
Breckenridge In Coventry,

orecklhrluge In Coventry.
The venerable Senator William NJ, Stew
art of Nevada is the latest shining mark
in public life for the shafts of social scam
dal, but the senator objects to joining Colo
mel Breckinridge in Coventry and re-
plies vigorously to his accusers. One would
think that Senator Stewart is old enough
and dignified enough to escape the wiles
of designing women, but if the senator's
version of the case be true he is the victim
of conspiracy as deliberate and heartless
as that which imbittered Simon Cam
eron's old age or the lawsuit that gave
Ben Hill such unpleasant notoriety short
ly before he retired from the senate.
The case against Senator Stewart, briefly
put, is just this: Charles L. Glasscock, a
resident of Washington of uncertain ante
Gedents and rather dubious reputation, has
brought suit for divorce from his wife,
naming Stewart as correspondent. Glass
cock charges the Nevada senator with
, alternating his wife's affections and admits
that it would take good many pieces of
the senator's silver to heal his wounds and
repair his honor.
Senator Stewart denounces the whole
affair as a conspiracy to extort blackmail.
He says: MY first meeting with this
woman was when she came to me with a
pitiful tale about her poverty and asked
for money. She said that she was without
fuel at her home, while her children were
suffering from the cold. pitied her and
gave her So. Later she sent her little girl
to me with note. saying that two Of her
children were ill with typhoid fever, and
she had no money with which to buy them
medicine. gave the little girl some mon
ey for her.
From time to time she besought me to
aid her, always telling me some pitiful
tale of suffering and distress. Finally I
received note from her which thought
threatening in tone, and 1 paid no atten-
tion to it. She called at the capitol to see
me, and told her that I regarded her
! note as threatening, and that If she want
ed any more charity she would have to ap-
ply to Mrs. Stewart for 1t. From that
time on l received similar letters from the
woman, and these letters are on file at the
courthouse with the papers in the case and
In due time will be made public. They
will show the woman's true character.
She wrote me that 1 had more to lose
than she had and said that in view of the
exposures in the Breckenridge case the peo-
pie would not believe any denials.
II have had this woman's character
hunted up. She came to my office time
and time again and tried to get in the
room with me while her husband was
waiting below. She brought her little
girl with her. The plan was for her tc
force her way into the room, have the lit

The Wearing of Clothes.

The Tribune has found out somehow
that there are in the world 500 ,000, 900 Of
fully Glad people, zoo, ,0O0,0OO of partly clad
people and $50, 600 900 of naked people. We
say that the naked millions have perfect
right to live in nakedness. They do not
need clothes for warmth or comfort, and
they do not think that they need them for
any other reason. They do not ask other peo-
pie to go naked, and the other people have
no business to ask them to wear things
There are lots of respectable men and wom-
en- among the naked millions who mind
their own affairs. We do not suppose that
the men of the Niger and Congo would be
willing to live in this world If they had to
wear coats, vests, trousers, plug hats and
leather boots, or that the women would
find life tolerable if dressed up in gowns,
bonnets, shawls, hoopskirts and things.
Most of the nude and seminude people of
our race are In Africa, and they don't want
us to bother them. Most Of the clothed
and semiclad people are in Asia, Europe
