.a.ea --------N-~-------------~~---~- NOT AEI, RID FOR 4 USTRTA.

4 It's an i'll wind that blows no good. The victoryaof the Nationalists in Hun gary caused something like consterna- ton in Vienna, but now, according tt
 some of the European correspondents, there seems to be a growing idea that it may not, in the end, prove so disas- trous to Austrian interests as at first
 was :. feared. It is suggested that Count Tisza may after all have done good service in opening the eyes of ev- erybody to the inherent weakness of
 the Liberal party. One writer quotes a prominent member of the Austro- Hungarian government as saying that in his opinion the present crisis, if well handled, will not enfeeble but strength en the dualist principle. The Compact of 1867 cannot be patched up, he admit ted. What is wanted, he said, is not repair, but organic reconstruction. The future of dualism would be preca-

ART OF CORK CUTTING.
An Industry About Which Little Is
 Known-RemodeIing of Old Corks.

An Industry About Which Little Is Known-Renodeling of Old Corks. It was Saturday afternoon, and the
 men had gone off for the half-holiday, the proprietor of the cork-cutting
 business was also taking rest; a meager, half-hearted sort of holiday, however, since the shop door was open and the goods were spread out for in- spection and sale. Only the silence of the three machines in the background served to show the day of the week. All around scattered about the floor were shallow rush baskets, filled with corks of different shapes and sizes, each particular article having a basket to itself. There were corks of sub stantial even aldermanic, proportions; there were corks with beautiful slim figures and tapered waists, there were long lengths of cork in, the rough, just as it had arrived in this country, and there was also the same material cut into short pieces, in preparation for the shaping that would follow.
 In fact, all stages in the life of a
 cork were there, and because his cus- toners betrayed symptoms of the in- terest they felt, the pork merchant of- fered to give a demonstration of the whole process of turning the rough
 material into the finished article. First
 of all, there was the cork cutters
 knife to be inspected--a formidable af-
 fair, with a heavy blade measuring
 about six inches wide. The center of
 the blade was very heavy, and the
 reason for so much weight was at once
 obvious as soon as the cutter proceed
 ed to use the knife. Picking up short
 length of rough cork, he held it firmly
 against a metal knob set into the side
 of a table; then, having introduced
 the sharp edge of the knife into the
 material, he threw the whole weight
 of his body against the handle and
 literally drove the blade through the
 cork. There was no saving backward
 or forward; nothing but the steady
 pressure; yet so tremendously sharp was the blade that the knife pushed
 unceasingly forward, and in a moment
 or two the piece of cork lay in two fragments on the floor.
 The wide beveied edge Is necessary
 in order to prevent the cork from tearing, while the knife has to be heavily weighted to stand the strain of that amount of pressure. This knife has small hole near the. back, about

DEMAND ron RIcH WANTED.

There was too much cotton in the South last season, and the talk is that there was also too much rice. The use of rice as a staple food Is very nearly limited to the South, where it takes the part assigned to the potato in oth- CT sections of the country. The rice growers have made serious efforts to promote a wider use of their product by making ''rice kitchens a feature of their exhibits at the Charleston, Buffa- 10 and St. Louis expositions. These have demonstrated that rice, when cooked in the various ways in which it was served, was most palatable and nutritious, but it was not so easy to teach people how to. reproduce such dishes. Hence its principal use outside of the South is in puddings and other sweet dishes The demand has been somewhat increased by making rice the basis of two or three sorts of pre- pared foods of the ''cereap' order Now there is talk that the consumption of rice may be largely increased by using FF3t
 it as a canned food.
 Why not? Rice is good canned or uncanned, and doubtless the smart people can can rice preparations that will be much better than plain rice. Success to canned rice, or any other canned stuff that will add to the great variety of clean and wholesome canned food,

PURgTF.

Pretty soon the pure maple sugar" season will open. and then we shall be satisfied. That is, we shall be if the sugar is pure. Possibly it won't all be pure. A narrowing doubt is raised by something that has happened north of us. The board of health of New Hampshire has been giving its atten- tion to maple sugar, and it finds that out of forty specimens of so-calied ma pie sugar, bought in open market, thir- ty-eight of them were found destitute of maple. The chief ingredients were glucose. caramel and the juice of nick ory bark.
 If New Hampshire maple sugar isn't all pure perhaps Vermont maple sugar, or New York maple sugar, isn't. Per haps there's nothing pure but Heaven.
 It has lately been discovered that gin- ger is made of bran, hulls and plaster; coffee of "iniddlings;;" pepper of olive seeds cocoanut shells. middlings and pepper shells; mustard of stuff colored with tunleric and the poisonous mar

-----------.-s--------- --------------- IIIh B4I9LESHIP

In the opinion of naval experts the battleship is holding its own. Thus Admiral von Tirpitz, the German i'm perial secretary of the navy, gives this opinion as to the relative performance of battleships and torpedo boats dur ing the Far Eastern war: The success
 of the battleships turned the balance.
 The Japanese acquired the mastery of the sea only by virtue of the superiori- l ty of their battleship squadron. The
 success of the Japanese torpedo boat attack at Port Arthur at the beginning of the war was, in view of the favora- ble conditions, only small. People spoke of the bankruptcy of the battle ship. The facts prove, however, that the torpedo boat is not to be trusted. The torpedo boats did nothing in the battle of August 10, although the Rus sian fleet was in disorder. So long as the gun is the principal weapon, so long will the strongest armored ship hold the overland. Personally I hold l a good deal by torpedo boats and sea
 mines, these having played a great role during the American Civil War. They are, however no real weapon, but on the contrary are. in strict sense,
 hindrances. Therefore let us initiate the Powers by building more and more costly bat tleshfps. We can afford them, and if the others believe in battleships too, We shall be in the game.

The recent visit of the viceroy of NanKin to St. Johns college, Shanghai, an institution maintained by our Prot estant Episcopal church, has peculiar significance as showing that one of the most prominent officials in the empire, the ruler of nearly 70,00O,00o people, does not hesitate to show publicly his interest in the Christian education of his countrymen. Accompanied by his secretaries and the chief local officials, he inspected the buildings, including St Mary's hall, the school for girls, at tended the class sessions, and examined the textbooks. The next day he sent $35O to be distributed in prizes to the students of both institutions for the hest essays on certain assigned sub- tects He also bought 200 copies of the New Testament from the American Bi- hIe Society, saying that he meant to distribute them among his leading off, ficers. The standing ef St. Iohn's col- 1ege may be gathered from the fact that there are nearly 300 students, and annlication for admission must be made a year in advance.

v The new alloy called invar, consisting of steel mixed with about 36 per cent. of nickel, which is. practically invari- able in volume with ordinary changes of temperature, has recently been adopted by Swiss Watchmakers for making balances in the majority of their best timepieces. The compensa- ton for temperature thus obtained is superior to any hitherto known. For many years Watchmakers have strug- gled with an outstanding trouble in the best compensated chronometers, known as Dents error." due principally to the non- linear variation of the elastici- ay of the steel of the hair spring. By the use of iilvar Dents error may be practically eliminated. '%

EFFECT OF IRRIGATION.
New Era for Home Building and De-
velopment in the West.

Irrigation of the Arid Lands of the
United States was the subject of a lecture
by Prof. F. III. Newell of the geological
survey before the Mems Club of the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church at its
monthly meeting last night. The lecture
was illustrated by stereopticon views and
maps showing the extent of the arid region,
the extent of the location of the vacant pub
lie lands therein and the proposed location
and character of the irrigation works Com
rarative maps were exhibited. showing that
some of the most prosperous and populous
countries of Europe. with an area CORE
spending to that of one or two of the west
ern states in the arid region, by conserving
their resources, were enabled to support
populations many times greater.
1t was demonstrated that through irrga-
ton and it's allied science, forestry. a new
era for home building and Internal deve-
opment is dawning in the western states.
Thrty-six million acres of public land have
been reserved for use of the settlers after
the construction of irrigation works, for
which over $23, 100000 have already been
advanced by the government, to be gradu-
ally returned by the settlers.
The speaker referred to the intricate in
ternational questions encountered in the

now pending between the United States and
Mexico relative to the diversion of water
from the Colorado river in California and
