The manufacture Of the best kind
OF corks, those made for champagne
bottles, are never intrusted to ma.
chimes. The ordinary common cork is
made by machinery, but the best work
invariably Is done by human hands,
and the champagne cork cannot be
trusted to machine. All the blem-
ishes in the cork have to be taken into
consideration. so this work is done by
hand labor.
