Cork Trees.

WE have many different kinds of
w forests in our own country. but to
see cork trees growing we have to journey
to other lands. In southern Spain there
are many of these evergreen oaks which
give great quantities of cork. Shoppers
for bottles, shoe soles, hat Innings, life
belts and jackets used to keep people
from drowning, cork arms and legs for
people who have lost their own limbs and
many other things used every day are
made from the bark of the cork trees.
When tree is fifteen or twenty years
old its outer layer of bark is cut off, for
From that tiVe on every eight or ten
years the bark is removed, and, instead
of growing poorer, it grows better with
each cutting. Usually the trees live to
he over 80 years old, so you see each tree
gives a great deal OF cork. In July or
August, for that is the cutting season..
the bark is stripped from the trees. by
girdling the trunks with a knife just
above the roots and just below the
branches.
The great wrapping of each tree is then
divided into sections by lengthwise cuts,
but the inner bark is never split, for then
the tree would be injured. The sec
then soaked In water and scraped and
cleaned. After this the cork is heated so
that the large pores will be closed and
then the cork is pressed on a fiat surface
In olden times cOrkS used to be cut by
hand from the sheet of cork, but now
machines do the work much better and
without so much waste.

And SO he sat and looked down upon the
toy things day after day. and they, poor

night
And all the time, the boy clerk was
watching poor Peek-a-boo. And he could
read in the little owls big solemn eyes
the story of the heartbreaking, his long

day by day the boy wondered how it
could be planned to get him away

Facts About Naples.

TN Naples, a city of f1owery Italy. the
girls and boys spend all of their lives
= out of doors, except when they are
sleeping. 1t seldom freezes in Naples
even in their coolest winters. SO orange
groves are always green with shining
leaves There are SO many people in this
large city of Italy that many of the poor
live in Easements where there are often
no windows. Sometimes whole family
will live i'm one room where there is hard
" any furniture. Some of the poor of
Naples live in high houses in narrow
streets These damp homes are SO dark
that the people are glad to leave them
in the morning to go out into the sunshine
to buy their breakfasts, which are SO
cheap on streets that few of the poor
people go to the expense of having fires
to cook their own meals. Coffee, fried
rice balls. potatoes, beans. meat roll.
doughnuts, shortcakes, fruits and vege-
tables are sold SO cheap that even half
cents worth of most anything may be
bought
When the milkman delivers the milk at
the houses he takes the COW or the goat
along to milk it before the eyes of the
customers SO that they may see that the
milk is not watered. On wash days thirty
or forty women collect around large tanks
Of water coming from some fountain.
There all wash the clothes for their fami-
lies on the same morning. No doubt they
have very sociable times, but the linen
even after being washed is the color OF
the stones and not very much cleaner.
One of the most interesting places in this
city of Naples is the Aquarium, which is
the finest and most interesting in the
world. When the little children look into
the great glass cases of water for the
first time they think they see beautiful
flowers. but they really see little fishes
and water creatures darting here and
there.

Ancient Irish Proverbs.

. HE following proverbs are genuine

Hardman's Irish Minstrelsy, and
show the similarity between them and
the modern English proverbs. In fact,
many of our best known proverbs are
merely paraphrases of the ancient Mi
lesan sayings, so terse with WISDOM
Even a fool has luck.
A blind man is no judge of colors.
When the cat is out the mice will dance
Fame is more lasting than life.
fine dress often hides deceiver
There is often anger in laugh.
A foolish word is folly
cat is always after his kind.
Hope consoles the prosecuted
The satisfied forget the hungry.
Drunkenness is the brother of robbery.
Idleness is the desire of a fool
Hope is the physician of each misery
The end Of fast is better than the be-
ginning of quarrel.
Everything is revealed by time
A cat may look at a king.
Without treasure, without friends.
Wine is sweet; TO pay for it is bitter.

TT WAS very quiet in the playroom
Most of the toys were asleep. 1t was
the twilight hour, and all the little
- folk were at their supper of bread
and milk in the nursery. So the
playroom was so still one might hear ones
own heart beat. But pretty soon there
was stir in one corner Of the room. 1t
was John, the Candy Kid. He was a big
fellow to be made of candy. Tommy 8
Uncle John had given him to Tommy on
Christmas, and he-the Candy Kid-had
beer named for the good old uncle who
had given him.
John stirred then he arose. AS he did
so he awoke Molly Anne. the big rag
doll, and Josephine. the fine French doll.
Then in turn Han San, japanese
soldier doll, awoke. And he began MAX
ing things lively by Gathering his sword
about against the furniture.
Come, stop that racket" commanded
the Candy Kid, addressing Han o San.
Don't you know your betters? / want
to speak, and if you keep up that Internal
racket it browns my voice."
"Oh, and who are your" dared to ques-
ton Han o San, who. it must be told,
was really very, very bold and brave.
Once he had rescued Molly Anne from
the tiger of a Noah's Ark, a fierce ami
