RENovAL OF GLASS STePPERs.--It may
not have occurred to any one--at all
events it is not noticed in any of our
treatises on practical pharmacy-thas
the easiest way to take out a stopper

bottle, is to reverse the motion given to
it when putting it in. that is to knock
the stopper from right to left. In most
instances when the stopper is fixed.
without the Intervention Of an adhesive
substance. it is by turning as one would
drive a screw The direction is almost
invariably ffom left to right, and thus a
thread is formed which it is easier to
follow backward than to break. The
trouble with which the removal of stop
pers is usually attended, must form my
apology for introducing a suggestion of
SO littls apparent Importance. -@Candda

A BfRD GHosr SroRY. The Athenae-
um. noticing book on birds, says:--
Birds have great fear of death. A hen
canary belonging to. the author died
while nesting, and was buried. The
surviving mate was removed to another
cage; the bir4-caee itself was thorough
ly purified, cleansed. aud put aside till
the following spring. Never afterwards.
however, could any bird endure to be
in that cage. The little creatures fought
aud struggled to get out. and. if Obliged
to remain, they huddied close together
aud fmoped and were thoroughly unhap-
py, refusing to be- comforted by any
amount Of sunshine or dainty food. The
experiment was tried of introducing for
eign birds, who we're not even in The
house when the canary died. nor could,
by any possibility. have heard Of her
through other canaries. The result
was the same, no bird would live. in the
cage. The cage was haunted, and the
author was obliged to desist from all
further attempts to coax or force bird
to stay in it. -
