Spain's Great Cork Forests.
The cork forests of Spain covei an area
of 620,000 square miles, producing the fin
est cork in the world. These forests ex
ist ln groups and cover wide belts of ter
ritory, those ln the region of Catalonia
and part of Barcelona blng considered
the first in Importance. Although "the
cork forests of KAremadura and Anda
lusia yield cork of much quicked growth
and possessing some excellent qualities,
its consistency is less rigtd and on this
account it does not enjoy the high repu
tation which the cork of Cntalonla does.
In Spain and, Portugal, where the cork
tree or Quercus suber Is Indigenous, it
attains to a height varying from 35 to 36
feet and the trunk to a diameter of S to
36 inches. This spHcies of the evergreen
oak is often heavily caparisoned with
wide-spreading branches covered.tinetal
wldespreading branches clothed wit'a
ovate oblong evergreen leaves, downy
underneath and the leaven slightly ser
rated. Annually, between April and May,
It produces a flower of yellowish color,
succeeded by acorns. OVer 30.000 square
miles in Portugal are devoted to the cul
tivation of cork trees, though the tree
virtually abounds In every part of the
country.
The methods in vogue ln barking and
harvesting the cork In Spain and Portu
gal are virtually the same. The barking
operation Is effected when the tree has
acquired sufficient strength to withstand
the rough handling It recelyes during
this operation, which takes place when
It has attained the ftteenth year of its
growth. After the first stripping the tree
Is left in this . juvenescent state to re
generate, subsequent strlpptngs being ef
fected at Intervals of not less than three
years and under this, process the tree Will
continue to thrive and bear upward of
150 years.
v Ireland's Women.
In 1388 the'women of Ireland obtained
every form of suffrage except that for
members of Parliament, and were made
eligible for the county ana borough coun
cils and for poor law guardians, a re
sponsible office. The first year 8 women
were elected guardians, and a number
to the councils, several being made chair
men. They have voted In large num
bers, and the testimony as to the excel
lent effects of their .vote in local politics
Is unimpeachable. The Irish Women's
Suffrage and Local Government Associa
tion has just held a meeting, in the
Mansion house at Dublin to consider ac
tion at the approaching election. .
A great many 'eminent women were
present, and it was resolved, not to rest
until women had been placed on every
board that dealt with women and. chil

Gen. Thomas M. Anderson, who lately
ly went on the retired list, has a small
opinion of Admiral Dewey, dating from
a time shortly after the battle of Manila.
When Anderson arrived there he wa
anxious to do something, so he visited
Dewey and proposed to take the town.
The admiral dissented, suggesting mildly
that the events of May 1 gave him some
distinction aa well as authority. General
Anderson, who Is given to plainness of
speech, rejoined bluntly: "Hell I All you
did was to smash a few pewter ships."
Ever since then the two men have been
anything' but friends. This story Is re
lated by aa officer of the Second Oregon
regiment, which was in Manila at the
time under Anderson's command.
Taking Sport Too Seriously.
One of the evils of the day is thorough
ness as applied to sports and recreations.
There la no game, however difficult or
however simple, but is hedged about by
difficulties which actually turn pleasure
Into pain. Time was when a game , at
whist, for example, was a genuine 'diver
sion; now it has become so scientific that
it Is distinctly hard work to play a goed
game. So as to bicycling, golf, plng-pon
-everything, Tn a word. We have got r.o
into the habit of taking our pleasures
seriously that those pleasures are no
longer recreations, or at least not the
recreations they might be were perfec
tion not so persistently Insisted upon. In
these days no sooner is a game Invented
or Imported from other lands than some-'
body bas to go to work to make, its play
ing a science, and In order to this end
a newspaper or magazine "devoted to that
particular game Is Indispensable knd In-'
evi table. So that the drain -upon the
mental faculties produced by the playing
of the game Is rendered mope, drastic by
the reading one has to do to keep up with .
the times. Oh, for a game that cannot
be made scientific that will forever es
cape a literary organ, and which will al
ways and forever be just good fan and
nothing morel Boston Transcript. .
