Take an unused cork that has neither crack nor hole in it; place it against the teeth, holding it tightly with the lips and play upon it with the handle of two forks. An imitation of the sound of a flute will thus be produced, and simple airs can be played.
Cut out the head and bust of a figure in cork ; run four stout bristles into this so that it will stand upright. Paint the face, put on a cap and dress of tissue paper, then stand it upon the sounding board of a piano and play a lively tune. The vibration will cause the figure to dance very quaintly.
