BOttIebinding.

You can't judge of the quality
of a book by the binding, nor
tell the contents by the title.
You look for the name of the
author before you buy the book.
The name of Robert Louis
Stevenson (for instance) on the
back guarantees the inside of
the book, whatever the outside
may be.
There's a parallel between
books and bottles. The bind
ing, or wrapper, of a bottle is
no guide to the quality of the
medicine the bottle contains.
The title on the bottle is no
warrant for confidence in the
contents. 1t all depends on the
authors name. Never mind
who made the bottle. Who
made the medicinel That's
the question.
Think of this when buying
Sarsaparilla. 1t isn't the bind
ing of the bottle OF the name of
the medicine that you re to go
by. That's only printers ink and
paperl The question is, who
made the medicinef What's
the authors namef When you
see Ayers name on a Sarsapa-
rilla bottle, that's enough. The
name Aver guarantees the best,

Since you asked about cork I have
been looking up the subject and
have found some very interesting
facts. That travelled bird o. yours
who said 1t came from q kind Of oak
tree was right; it is an evergreen
oak that botanists call quercus suber.
The tree is only about thirty feet
high, and is principally cultivated in
Spain, although 1t also grows In
Africa and in other parts of south
ern Europe. When 1t is fifteen or
twenty years old the first stripping
Of bark Is made; only the outer
layer is taken, the workers being
very careful to leave the inner bark
u~ninjured. This frst layer Is rough
and woody, of no use save In tan
ming; but ten years later another
has been formed Of finer quality,
and the quality continues to improve
alter each stripping.
The bark Is taken in midsummer A.;

iy the punches, or clusters. Of grapes have
but few, struggling berries and many OF
these may be small or %misshapen. This
Ia especially true Of some varieties which
are poor pollinators. 1t is we'll known
fact that the flowers Of some grape vines
are capable OF naturalization, and,
hence, OF producing fruit without the aid
OF flowers from other vines. Such flow
ers must contain both stamens and pis-
tils,-the male and female organs. Some
times, however, both stamens and pistils
may be present and the vine be incapable
Of fruiting Of itself. This condition may
10 brought about by the stamens and
pistils ripening at different times or by
the stamens being recarved away from
the pistils SO the pollen cannot reach
them. Certain other vines produce only
stamens and are incapable In bearing
fruit, though their flowers are useful in
~pollinating other vines. A vine which is
incapable Of fertilizing Its OWE plstils
will produce fruit only when t is planted
near some vine that produces pollen. The
studies OF such men az Eagleman, Nun
son and others have not only called at
tention to these different kinds Of flow
ers, and the conditions necessary for
perfect fruiting, but have emphasized
the advantages Of mixed paintings OF va
rious varieties, so that one sort may fur
nish pollen for another.
The Georgia Experiment Station ha'
recently published a bulletin upon Crap
culture In which is given the following
list Of varieties which have their stamens
SO refexed that they are incapable ol
perfect self pollination: Agawana, Amer

A large number Of His miracles cluster

have the case OF the unolean Split In the

this point Of study, the relation that
miracles bear to the gospel system; what
constitutes a miracle; that none but Goa
can work miracles. The uses made OF
miracles by Jesus in His ministry on
