Aa mantra ted Account of the Cork Oak
Which Is Prised Not Only Because of
Its Economic Value, bat for Its Orna
mental Appearance.
Very few hardy trees are so interesting
as the cork oak, for the economic uses to
which its bark is applied are well known
to all, while the tree itself is a very un
common one. It is ornamental, and pos
sesses features quite distinct irom those of
any other oak in cultivation. In general ap
pearance it much resembles some of the
broader leaved forms of the evergreen oak,
but the extraordinary development of the
bark is the great characteristic of the cork
tree. Any one familiar with cor 1 ' m un
derstand that a tree whose branches are
clothed with this rough, rugged bark must
present a picturesque appearance, and this
is assisted by the form the specimen usu
ally assumes, as the large, dense masses of
dark green foliage are relieved by glimpses
of its light, warm colored bark.
perpendicular rows of laee and satin rib
bon, with large loose bows at either end.
The shape is double, like an open fan, tbs
nightdress resting between.
A Neat W*y to Drape a Loee Curtain.
A lace curtain hanging in natural folds
always looks well at the window. It is al
ways in correct form, and shows both from
the outside and inside of a house the full
value and beauty of the design. Bat there
are times when one wishes to change from
this primness of drapery, and The Philadel
phia Upholsterer describes and illustrates
ss follows one way of doing it. It is by
bold of the outer edge of the cur
tain at a distance of about two feet from
the bottom end, and drawing it up about a
yard or a yard and a half and pinning it at
this point on the curtain. In some cases
a pin is merely stuck through the cur
tain to the casement where the curtain
ti.np. snug against the casement. This is
ithe most approved way of draping a lace
curtain, for the simple reason that yon still
show the design in full and do not conceal
it, as in the case of catching it back with a
gimp loop.
An improved way of doinpj this without
the primitive use of pins is by having a
AUNT JUDY’S CHAT.
I am glad to say that Starling’s little
plan has at last bean carried oak The
-chair came just in time for Earnest
Willie’s birthday; bnt we had to make a
few changes in the chair before deliver
ing it to onr invalid Mend. Therefore,
he did not get it nntil his birthday bad
passed. After making the necessary
changes, Miss Nettle and 1 boarded the
train for Powder Springs and carried the
chair to Earnest Willie. Hlh father and
mother lifted him ont of his bed into the
beautifal chair, and then we rolled him
ont of doors, which was both a treat to
him and to bis friends. Now that the
Letter Buan and Householders have
made him a preseat of a nice Invalid's
chair with runber-tire wheels, he can
(without Injury to his back) be rolled out
of doers nearly everv day, which pleas
are he had been deprived of for the last
3ve years. We have a'l tried the chair
and taink it is splendid; with the mbber-
tire wheels on yon can haid y tell that
you are moving. I wish all the couBins
could see it; it is beauti'ul. it is just the
thing (or Earnest Wi lie. I am almost
as proud of the chair aB he is. It was
very kind and sweet of Starling to pro
pose to the cousins to get it for him, aud
it was very kind iu them to contribute;
for which we are all very grateful.
Although we have been some time in
raising the desired earn, it is none the
less appreciated by Earnest Wil.ie and
his friends.
His father and brother sent In acontrl
bntion, for which the members of this
department are under maoy obligations.
Of course it was not expected of them to
sontri bate. It was Intended as a present
coming from the Householders and Lot-
tor Boxers to Earnest Willie, to show
their appreciation anddove for him.

A CORF OAK TREE.
The noble specimen depicted in the ent
is growing at Stout hall, Glamorgan. It
is between 00 and 70 feet high, and
shows the dense clustered masses of foli
age characteristic of the cork oak. This
specimen is of unusual height, for one not
more than 20 to 30 feet high will often
present all the features of an adult tree—
the rugged "hark, the curiously contorted
branches and dark irregular masses of
foliage. The cork oak may he met with
in a thriving state under varying condi
tions, but as a rule it makes the most
rapid progress where the soil is principally
composed of an open sandy loam, resting
on a gravel subsoil, so that though the
roots do not at any time suffer from
drought, they are always properly drained.
Concerning its economic value, it may be
said that the greater part of the cork we
nse comes from Spain and Portugal, where
there are in many cases great forests of the
tree. When it has attained sufficient size
the first crop of bark is removed by means
of sharp curved instruments made for the
purpose. The bark thus taken off is not
nsed for any particular work, bnt consti
tutes the virgin cork which is now so fre
quently used for various rustic purposes,
and also as floats for the larger fishing
nets. __
A Cliime of Dottle Dells.
A chime of bottle bells, such as is de
picted in the cut here reproduced from
Golden Days, may be made by the young
est of our readers, provided they have a
musical ear.
Tbe apparatus consists of two chairs, two
sticks and eighteen bottles, arranged as in
onr sketch. The Dottles are hung to the
Sticks by ordinary string, the strings hav
ing double loops. If tbe bottles are all of
the same shape and size, they can be tuned
pAurlnK —tar ir.t,, tlictn—ti.-o uiuICS llit"
water tbe lower the note; but if it is im
possible to get tbe full compass in this
way, differently shaped bottles can be nsed
to fill tbe gaps. In fact if you will hang
up all the empty bottles you have in the
house and bit them with a drumstick or
any stick with a wooden knob, you will
find that every one has a different note,
which can be modified by pouring in a lit
tle water. It is impossible to say how
mnch water .should be used, as bottles vary
so much. In the set we have illustrated
all the sharps and flats are present, so that
the chromntic scale is complete; but it is
not always possible to get this, and you
must be content to have your instrument
in C or G or D, or even F. There is no limit
to the number of bottles. You can go an
octave higher, and work in medicine bot
tles if you wish; but, as a rule, the glass
should !<■* fairly strong.
As far as the hammer is concerned, al
most any stick is good enougli to beat
With.
For quick tunes two sticks should be
used; for very quick tunes there should be
two players, one on one side of tbe line,
and one on the other.
In our -ketch the lowest note is to the
left hand; immediately below it is the next
note; on i ue upper line comes the next, on
A NEW DRAPERY SCHEME. '
silk or tinsel cord or ribbon or some other
decorative band furm'shed at one end with
a clasp ou flic order of tbe clasps used by a
gentleman in bolding his scarf to his shirt
front. It is a simple matter now to pick
np the curtain at any point along its outer
edge, draw it up within reach of the band
and catch it. An excellent way of utiliz
ing this idea with devices at hand would
be to fasten one end of tbe cord to the case
ment with a tack and cover it with a dec
orative nail. The end having the clasp can
be furnished with an ordinary cravat clasp,
and this can be bidden by a decorative bow.
Roofs and Chimney*.
’ People who meditate housebuilding will
do well to note the following from Th«
Analyst, for what can more effectually up
set tbe comfort of a household than a
chimney without draught? “The form ol
a roof often has much to do with tbs
draught of a chimney. The flat roof offers
no resistance to the passage of air, bnt as
the pitch is increased the current is more
and more disturbed, until with a high
pitched and many gabled roof it is broken
into innumerable eddies, some of which
are sure to curl down and force the smoke
and gases in the flue into the rooms below.
Chimneys on such roofs should be built
higher than ordinarily.”
Creamed Rice.
Creamed rice or tapioca is very pretty,
sweet and excellent with stewed frnik
Wash a large teacupful of rice well, and
set to stew very slowly in nearly a pint of
milk, with a piece of lemon peel, an inch
of vanilla bean, and an ounce of sugar.
When the rice has ahsorbed ;vH the milk
and is quite tender, remove from the firs
and take out the lemon peel and vanilla,
and when tbe rice is nearly cold add a gill
or more of stiffly w^kipeifcream. Pile as
rockily as possible and set
Culinary laincd.
To sauter anything is to lay it in a shal
low pan previously buttered, and to cook
it sharply at a brisk fire, turning it now
and again.
A bouquet assorti is a bunch consisting
of a spray or two of parsley, the same of
thyme, a bay leaf or two, a small onion
stuck with a clove or two. and a blade of
mace. These are all tied together, and are
lifted out when the meat, etc., is dished.
To mask anything is to cover it neatly
with any sauce.
Chocolate Sponge.
Dissolve ounces grated chocolate, 1)4
ounces gelatine and sugar to taste in a
pint of new milk; let it simmer (not boil)
till quite smooth, then add half a pint of
good cream and strain the whole. When
quite cold and beginning to set whip it
lightly to a sponge, put ia an oiled mold
on ice. To turn it out just dip the mold
in hot water and loosen the edges carefully,
as this sponge is apt to break.
