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. Aunt Judy. Deah Cousins: It has bean a right long time since 1 wrote to you, but no oi.e knows how much 1 think of Aunt Ju ly and the cousins; nut as for Uncle Punch I hardly ever tnlnk of him at all.

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. I PHi MUffll. Medicated Oxygen INHALATIONS FOR Head, Throat and Lungs Only.
