A Curious Experiment.

Take a water flask, or a wide-mouth de-
canter or bottle. hold il in a horizontal po-
sition, and place a small cork in the neck.
IL win then seem an easy matter TO blow
the cork into the bottle; but upon trial il
will be found al most impossible to do so, as
the harder one blows the more forcibly il is
elected ont OF the bottle and into the face of
the experimenter. The explanation of this
peculiar behavior OF the cork is very simple.
The bottle is already full Of air, so that no
more can be blown into IL; and the only
effect produced by Blowing is to compress
the air already inside. When the pressure
is removed, the air being elastic expands
again quickly, and in so doing forces the
cork out Of the neck, apparently ina reverse
direction TO the current from the lungs Of
the experimenter. The neck Of the bottle

OF its earliest appearance: "ln the reign Of

The honor Of Introducing the herb into

Own Family?
There are some men who need an intro
duction to their own children. There are
some husbands who would find an &C.
quaintance with their own wives a most
novel social comfort There are too many
men who are not members of their own
families.
There are many men of affairs who are
practically divorced from their wives and
married to their business. There is no
music to them in the domestic hum Of the
tea kettle or the purr Of the tabby cat on
her mat behind the stove. They enter their
homes late at night, as a visitor enters a
strange family, or as a guest enters hotel.
There is no fellowship Of feeling between
himself and the inmates OF the house upon

hoarder according to mis- personal character
