WHAT BECOMES OF CORKs.
After They Have Served First Purpose
They Go to Renovator.

What becomes of the pins?" is an
old and unanswered question, but
What becomes of the corks? ?" admits
of a pretty complete reply, says the
New York Evening Post. Cork is one
of the most indispensable articles, yet,
useful as it is and harmless as it ap-
pears, it is made a means of danger to
health by trade competition. Not that
anything noXious occurs in the original
growth of preparation for market of
the corkwood, or even in the process of
charring the surface and closing the
pores by extreme heat, which is said
to give the elasticity and fleXibility
known in the trade as nerve" When
it comes on the market it is without
any deleterious qualities. 1t is after
the cork, in its finished state, has
served its purpose in the neck of a
bottle that it begins its degenerate
course. A cork once drawn and the
bottle and contents disposed of is
thrown away generally as waste. es-
pecially in private houses, though in
the liquor trade they are often pre-
served for sale to itinerant dealers,
who purchase them for a trifie Those
which are thrown away gravitate to
the ash and garbage barrel, the dump
or the gutter and possibly the sewer.
From those odorous and offensive re-
ceptacles, as well as from behind the
bar, they eventually reach the bag OF
the peddling collector and are all
placed in one mass to undergo the pro-
cess of so-called cleaning" which
makes them appear to the unframed
eye as good as new and prepares them
for sale to the economical bother of
wines, liquors, pickles or what not,
who has a strong eye to the main
chance. The corks look all right and
secure the bottle as well as new and
clean ones would, so, even il there is
little poison or worse in them what
does it matter? thinks the careful deal
er. Nothing will really clean them, but
they can be whitened or bleached by
the action of a powerful acid and this
is what is done.

Largest Electrically Operated Draw

What is believed to be the largest
electrically operated drawbridge in the
world, says Electricity. is the new one
over the Connecticut River at Middle
town. 1t consists of two fixed spans
200 feet from center to center; two
fixed spans, 225 feet from center to cen
ter, and one draw span 450 feet from
center to center of piers. Although
the bridge is thirty miles from the lea
there is tide of two and one-half
feet, and the highest known water
mark is twenty-five feet above low
water. The floor of the bridge is six
feet above the last elevation, making
the distance from the floor to low
water thirty-one feet. AS the bridge
was designed to have one trolley-car
track, and two lines for carriage travel,
it was made twenty-siX feet wide from
center to center of the trusses, while
provision was also made Tor connect
ing sidewalk brackets to the floor
beams when they should be needed

Leo to represent mems natures. In
both cases. the subjects of Cancer and
Leo are only too disposed too precipi-
tate matters, in their everyday lives,
ana as the proverb says, to burn the
candle at both ends.
True to it's name, Leo endows its
subjects with generous Instincts and
with a high degree of honesty and
loyalty. Their ambition is of lofty
kind; they love power for the good 1t
may permit them to accomplish, not
for the sake of satisfying a petty van
ity or filing their pockets with pelf
Their weakness is a too great credullty
in ether peoples goodness; iatterers,
If they do their work shrewdly, are
all powerful with Leo subjects.
Men born under this sign often mar
ry relatives or boyhood's friends,
sometimes even their deceased wives
sisters. Let those born under. Leo be-
ware of the vagaries of their imagi-
nation, always aire. Their greatest
troubles will be due to this trait and
to their love for the other sex. They
will be dreamers and wild schemers,
in business as well as in love affairs.
Their protective gem will be the
Ruby, that petrifled drop of blood in
valuable to quiet down an angry head
and drive away the hearts trouble
some worries.

Blames Aguinaldo.

The senate committee on the Philip
pines recently had Gen. Robert p.
Hughes as a witness. Gen. Hughes
went to the islands in August, 1898.
He said that soon after his arrival he
had been appointed provost marshal
of Manila At that time the insurrecto
forces were quartered in the city,
and there was free communication be-
tween them and the Americans.
When, later, Aquinaldo was directed
to move out he objected strenuously
but went. At first, the witness said,
the people of the city were quite
friendly. but by the 1st of January,
1899, there was a change in their
bearing This change he attributes to
Aguinaldo's influence and advice Gen.

Oar old friends the consultations

Unique Playing Cards.

Something new in playing cards has
just been patented. 1t is biographical
in character, each card bearing on one
side a brief story of the nves of two
famous persons, while on the other
side are a series of questions. AS the
questions are answered successfully or
not, the cards are won or lost by the
players. Only the faces of the cards

his father. who died shortly afterward
in 1860, and was subsequently trans
ferred to the East Baltimore Con
ference. He was retransferred to the
Illinois Conference tho following year

out of the political agitations of that
period. He lahornd in connection with
what was known as the Christian
Union Church for several years. This
| organization was ultimately merged
into the M. E. Church South and DIR,
