The application OF cork as a bottle
stopper for liquid vessels is said to be
Of great antiquity. The earliest record
extant of its use in Europe is that men
toned by Horace, who asserts that the
Romans had cork as 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 not
say. 1t was not. however, until the
year 1160 that the Spaniards first COM
menced to work their cork woods with
some degree of regularity for the max
ing OF corks. Although perhaps corks
were more or less In use from the time
glass bottles were first invented, which
Beckmann asserts TO have been in the
fifteenth century, yet 1t was not until
two and half centuries later that the
Spaniards began to prepare cork for
bottle shoppers, which they did In a
forest situated at the northeast of the
Tigueras, on the Muge. The cork in
dustry has since gradually risen to be
one of the first magnitude, its chief
center in Spain being in Catalonia.

The Small Mounted Bass.

The small mouthed bass fully de
serves his reputation for being vigor.
Gus and gamy from infancy He is
extremely pugnacious by nature and
has fighting tactics peculiarly his own
which for strength, activity and craft
are unequaled. once took bass four
inches long on a spoon hook, the bowl
of which was more than two inches
long. This bass does not hesitate to
tackle that terror of all other fish
the fierce and voracious pickerel. With
his first dorsal fin rigidly set up. he
lays off some ten or twenty feet and
then makes a rapid dash right into and
under the long face" forcing him TO
clear out at once or ripping him so
badly that he is hors de combat. The
fact has been established that bass in
troduced into a pond containing pick
erel will ultimately destroy the latter.
The same fate awaits other fish, in

The victory over Hillsdale, Saturday,
and the forfeiture of the Albion game
gives Alma two intercollegiate football
games to her credit, and clean start
for championship honors. Alma has
yet to meet Olivet, Kalamazoo and M.
A. @. and has three hard games before
her. A comparison of scores, however,
puts Alma in good light. The three
above named teams have all beaten
Hillsdale, but each with much smaller
score than did Alma. Olivet scored 81
points against them, Kalamazoo but A,
and NJ A. G. only IS. If scores tell
anything, Alma certainly looks good.
M. A. @. is the only other intercollegiate
team still unbeaten, and it will probably
be between the farmers and Alma for
state championship. If the College
continues to put up the article of ball
she is playing now, Capt. Angeles team
ought to carry off the honors. The
standings of the intercollegiate teams
at present are as follows:

from The New Mexican.

From The New Mexican.
The Boy-the most perplexing
problem of the day. How to train him
physically and mentally. that is the
question that puzzles the father and
the mother everywhere. New Mexico
has offered one successful solution
to the problem by establishing and
maintaining the New Mexico Military
Institute at Roswell. The only pity is
that financial limitations compel 1t
to refuse admission to- more than 120
boys. 1t should accommodate 1900
boys and it would do the common
wealth a power of good If every one
of its 10000 boys could have several
years Of training at this model school
whose motto, "a sane mind in a
healthy body" holds up the highest
ideal of education.
Military schools for boys are al
most as old as civilization. but it is
wonderful how the idea has expended
of late years, how New Mexico. espe-
cially. has built up a successful mill
tary institution of learning from a
small, inauspicious beginning. But the
success lies in the idea itself. The
school has made strong, well balanc-
ed. energetic men out of material
that at times appeared, to say the
least, unpromising. Take a puny, and
backward boy and make out Of him a
strong. healthy, soundly educated
man who a take his own part in
the world and you have wrought a
great work, a masterpiece, second to
no marble bust of Phidias or canvas
by Rafael. And that is precisely what
the Military School has done, and is
doing. The place of such a school in
any commonwealth need not be poin-
ted out; it is self-evident that 1t
should be the model and inspiration
for every public and private school
in the Territory.
The Military Institute at Roswell
is positively successful in an admins
trative way. Comparisons are invid-
ious, but the fact is that the trustees

There was a full attendance on the
part of the aldermen when Mayor
Hinkle called to order the regular
meeting for March of the City Coun-
Gil, in the office of City Clerk Beck
last night. The following councilmen
we're present: WHY'S, Whiteman, Og-
lie. Ullery, Kinsinger. Church. Brooks,
Burns and Johnson. After the min
utes of the previous meeting had
been read and approved. the citizens
present were invited to bring up any
thing they might have for considera-
ton.
L. E. Thompson offered a protest to
the extension TO the city limits Of

offered at a previous meeting of the
council and was in the hands Of a
committee. The protest was given to
the same committee.
p. J.. Stages asked permission to
establish a confectionery stand on a
vacant lot at the corner of Main and
Fifth treets. He was given the de-
sired permission, provided he erect
a building in keeping with the regu-
lations of the fire limit ordinance. The
council would not give permission
for him to erect any other kind Of a
structure.
The finance committee had nothing
to report, except that all of the city's
funds are very low.
The street and alley committee had
as q report, the suggestion that the
grading on the streets be stopped for
a while. as the money for this pur-
pose has al been spent. The council
made an order as suggested.
There were no other reports from
committees. except from the commit
tee on bitches. who reported that no
thing had been done.
City Attorney K. K. Scott reported
that he had been looking up the rec
ords relative to the ditch cases and
that he vas in possession of the facts
relative to the work of the former CT
ty attorney, and as to how far it had
gone in the courts. He reported that
according to his investigation, the
city had all power in the matter of
ordering bitches filled for sanitary
purposes. He stated that the Supreme
Court decision in an identical case
with the one in Roswell, held that
the city can force owners to put the
bitches in sanitary condition.
Attorney Scott thanked the council
for his appointment as city attorney,
and brought up the matter of his sal
airy. This matter was postponed un-
I'll an executive session, which was
held after the regular meeting last
night. Attorney Scott's request was
that he be put on a regular salary,
