Ing exposed to the air. Thus the contents
Of the bottles stopped by them are kept
alright. Large corks. such as those for
pickles and mustard, have to be cut the
other way of the wood, on account of
their size but wax is generally used to
fasten them in the bottles. A machine
has been invented by which corks and
bungs of any diameter up to 81 inches
are turned out at the rate of six gross per
hour.
Cork trees are raised from seed usually,
the large and sweet acorns producingssthe
biggest trees and the finest cork. Small
and bitter acorns produce coarse and in
ferior trees. The bark product of full
grown tree is about IS pounds, worth 5
cents pound. The cork of commerce is
not natural product of the tree, but an
abnormal development of the bark under
certain treatment. Natural cork is useless
for purposes of manufacture, being too
coarse Sometimes it is so woody and
dense that it will not float. The wild
cork. or outer layer of the natural bark,
is removed when the tree reaches a
interior denser and softer cork layer. The
latter is called "lard,'' or 'smother cork, !"
ard from 1t the cork of commerce devel-
ops. While the tree is in sap there is no
difficulty in removing the cork, care1 be-
ing taken not to injure the inner layer,
which, if hurt, would not produce any
more cork in that spot. When the tree is
not more than 2 feet in circumference, a
single vertical cut is made, and the cork
is taken off in single large piece, called
a cannon. From bigger trees it is re-
moved in slabs.
The bark is first placed in long, rec
tangular vessels and boiled. The boiling
closes the pores, increases its elasticity,
and renders it more supple and compact.
Its specific weight is reduced, while its
volume is almost doubled. Next, the
slabs are SCI aped, to remove all the wood
fiber. After this operation they go to a
workman, who trims them to proper
shape, and sorts them into. grades suitable
for different purposes. The various quail
tiles are respectively denominated,
"thick'', ordinary, - bastard, +" thin
and "refuse.' These grades are divided
into several classes, champagne cork
being the highest quality.

GRAPE PAPER DECORATIONS.
Wonderfully Artistic Effects wrough
From the Pliable Fabric.

Wonderfully Artistic Effects Wrought
From the Pliable Fabric.
Very few people, I fancy, writes Emma
H. Heath in The Ladies' Home journal,
have ever seen paper party carried out
in all its details, but those who have are
unanimous in their expressions of delight
and surprise at the wonderfully artistic
effects which have been produced with
that pliable material Grape paper, and the
best part is the comparatively small ex-
pense and infinite variety of changes in
color combinations.
First to be considered is the room, and
perhaps description Of one which I helped
decorate not long ago will suggest more
ideas than could give otherwise. 1t was
large room in a clubhouse, some 80 by
40 feet, with ceiling 16 feet high, crossed
and encircled by big oak beams. On one
side were three window seats, and opposite
big fireplace, with window seats on
either side. Something entirely different
from anything that had ever been seen was
wanted, and this was how it was done:
Morning gl6ries in pink, purple and Grim
son made in vines, with large leaves of
tissue paper, were, everywhere. Before
each Of the window seats were hung cur
tains of morning glory vines made by
hanging lengths of the vines close together
across the opening from the top of the
arohway, and then draped back each way
and let to fall gracefully on either side
The beams were all hung with garlands
of vines across and all around the room.
The doorways at either end of the room
were hung with curtains, and long vines
trailed down carelessly over the pictures
The Gothic arches over the fireplace
were outlined with the vines. The room
was Illuminated by a big circle of electric
lights, and from this to each corner hung
long vine of lights These were wound
and hung with vines, and each light was
shaded with q big morning glory, as were
also the lights on the side chandeliers
about the room. The fireplace was filled
with palms and ferns, and the whole eff
feet, when lighted, was big bower of
morning glories. OF course it took guam
titles of vines, but many hands made light
work. ,
