Where Cork Comes From,

"Nery few people understand how
corks are made or where cork trees
grow" said wine tout the other
evening in Broadway cafe. "Of
course / understand all branches of
the business" the corkclogist went
on. "The cork tree on an average
lives 100 years, and its average height
is % or 30 feet. 1t is native of the
Mediterranean basin, in Northern
Africa, Corsica, Southern France and
the Siberian Peninsula. 1t docs not
grow in America except in srots--dry,
warm places of mild temperature.
These trees are very rare and consid-
cred great curiosities.
'On recent visit South I found
two fine cork trees in the college
grounds at Bay st. Louis, near New
Orleans. They are very large and
beautiful, and are called The Twins.
A maker of corks had obtained per-
mission to strip the trees of their
bark. The cork tree is valued for its
bark; the best time to strip it is in
July or August. The outer bark of
the tree is first stripped when it is
about twenty-five years old. This re-
moval of the rough bark, or outer
skin, as some would call it, causes
growth of finer quality. This requires
about eight or nine years, and the
quality improves with each successive
stripping. So you will see that the
cork tree, as well as man, changes its
skin in about the same number of
years, though believe seven years is
the time given to man for a complete
change.-New York World.

The Vitality of Men.

There are two parts OF the human
organism, DR.. Balfour tells us, which
if wisely used 'largely escapes senile
failure" These two are the brain and
the heart. Persons who have often
wondered why brain workers, great
statesmen and others, should continue
to work with almost unimpaired men-
tai activity and energy up to period
when most of the organs and func-
tions of the body are in condition of
advanced senile decay. There is
physiological reason for this, and DR..
Balfour tells us what it is. The nor.
NAL brain, he afiirms, "remains vigor.
Gus to the last" and that "because its
nutrition is specially provided for"
Who is there among those who have
reached or passed middle age that will
not be rejoiced to find such admirable
physiological warrant for the belief
that tho brain may continue to work
and even to improve almost to the
very last hour of life? AS in the case
OF the brain, there seems to be excel
lent physiological warrant for the con.
clusion that coteris paribus the aged
heart succeeds to, a. any rate, rela-
tive increase of strength as time goes
on. London Hospital.

When Jimmie Comes From School.

When Jimmie comes from school at four,

To whirl and buzz and bang and spin,
And brighten up from roof to foorl
The dog that all day long has lain
Upon the back porch wags his tail
And leaps and barks and begs again
The last scrap in the dinner-pail,
When Jimmie comes from school.
The cupboard la,ches clinks tune,
And mother from her knitting stirs
To tell that hungry boy of hers
That supper will be ready soon,
And then a slab Of pie he takes,
cooky and ounce or two
And for the breezy barnyard breaks,
Where everything cries, "iIow d'y do?"
When Jimmie comes from school,
The rooster on the garden fence
stirs up and down and crows and crows
AS II he knows, or thinks he knows,
lie, too, is of some consequence.
The guineas, join the chorus, too,
And just beside the windows sill
The red bird, swinging ont of view,
On his high perch begins to trill,
When Jimmie comcs from school.
When Jimmie comes from school, take care
Our hearts begin to throb and quake
With life and Joy and every ache
Is gone before we are aware.
The earth takes on a richer hue,
A softer light falls on the flowers,
And overhead a brighter blue
Seems bent above this worll Of ours,

fuls of sugar. Do not heap the spoons.
Stir until sugar is dissolved, and then
stand the pan in moderate oven. As
soon as the milk is hot, and little
scum forms over the top, stir it downi
and stir the rice from the bottom OF
the pan. Do this as fast as crust
forms. The crust should be papery,
and light in color When the milk
begins to thicken, and the rice seems
to come to the surface, stop stirring
and allow thin brown crust to form.
Stand away in a cool place, to quickly
chill. Now, If this is too thick, you
have cooked it too slowly and too
long If it is too thin and milky. you
have not cooked it long enough.

A MYSTERY SOLVED.

hhIlo, Dracken said i, one
brisk April afternoon, as saw my
friend the detective leaning against
the parapet, like idlest loafer alive,
"who would have thought of meeting
you on London Bridge?"
'Come here, Mr.. rall," said he,
catching my arm. and drawing me to
his side. "Do you know that I have
this morning solved the mystery of
that" He pointed to the burnt out
she'll of n great wharf on the Middle
sex side of the river not far from the
bridge.
"What!" cried, "solved the mys.
terry of the great Thames street fire
First of all tell me what the mystery
was, for candidly do not know; and
then tell me how you solved it, for by
that time shall be dying to hear"
"Let us step into the recess and get
out of the peoples way" said he.
"You saw, of course, in the pa
pers," said he, "Schofield's wharf had
been burnt down, and that there was
no way of accounting for the fire."
Unfortunately, Brackon," said I,
my newspaper reading for the past
week or ten days has been absolutely

something about Great Conhagra-
tion in Thames street.
"Then l suppose must tell you all
about it," said Bracken, with n sigh
of resignation. "Well," he went on,
stretching across the stone seat of the
recess and resting his elbows on the
parapet, ''last Saturday afternoon Mr..
Tomilson, who owns Schofeld's
Wharf, locked the Tower street door
at o'clock and from that time until
4 o'clock on Monday morning, when
the place was found in flames, that
door was not opened by him or any
body else. There are two doors, to
be sure, but the other one on the wa
ter can be opened only from the IL
side, and when the firemen got on the
spot the river door showed no signs of
having been tampered with, although
the fire seemed to have originated in
the rear of the building. AT the rear
OF the building were few bales of
jute, and at first Mr. Tomilson said he
supposed they had heated, but,
strange to tell you, they were found
uninjured save by water. and were
about the only thing in the building
which escaped.
"Schofeld's was very heavily in

to say it was good thing for Mr..

his affairs were in bad way.
"By Tuesday morning the bad ru-
