TO Remove Glass stopners.

Sometimes it is very difficult to removed
glass stopper from a bottle. A cloth wet
in hot water sometimes is sufficient; but if
this fails, remember that the principle is to
expand the neck or the bottle BY heat and
not the stopper With hot water the lat
ter is often heated equally with the neck,
and thus the desired effect is not produced.
By holding the neck of the bottia about
half an inch above the fame OF d lamp or
candle, however, IN q few seconds the most
obstinate cork will generally come out.
Care must be taken to turn the bottle
rapidly, and not allow the flame to touch
the glass; as it might crack it. When the
glass is thoroughly heated steady pull
and twist will almost always bring out the
stopper-New York Tribune.

Two Kinds of Pfneannles.

There are two kinds of pineapples, the
birdseye and the sugar loaf The former
are not often brought to this market from
the fact that they do not bear transporta
ton so well as the sugar loaf, being much
more apt to spoil in transit. In the ex
IRENE south and West Indies, however
they are far mors highly esteemed for
dessert than the sugar loafs, which, in
turn, are much better suited for preserv
ing. In the home of the pineapple, the
sugar loafs are eaten raw only when the
birdseye variety cannot be obtained. St

WILL BE A WINNER.
Rock Island Will Do Its Part for
the Columbian Exposition.
The Committees are Doing Their
Day for the Most Part-Meet
Again Tonight at Ihe I'm
prov ment ASSOCIATION
Rooms,

The Twin-City Columbian exposition
has taken fresh start in Rock Island
with the start of the house to house CAM
vass by the committees delegated a week
ago. and there is every assurance that
Rock Island will come up with its pro-
portion of the 500 900. whether Moline
does or not. 1t matters not to this CITY
what attitude our sister city takes. The
two cites started out to raise $50 OOo
each, Rock Island has led in the enter
prise from the first, and it will be due to
no fault of this city if the project fails of
success. The impression that some have
exerteo themselves TO create, that Moline
is not doing its part and consequently
Rock Island has lost hope has failed of
its purpose. Rock Island has gone into
this thing to win, and win it will if per-
sistent work and unfailing determination
count for anything in this town.
The fact that the Twin Gifts base ball
organization has lessed the McMsster
tract Immediately east of the proposed
Colun bisn site, is no indication that the
origin undertaking has failed Not by
any means. The committee N charge of
the Columbian enterprise had desired that
the ball grounds be included in the
grounds oI which the option is held
H. h,,t hA !
refused 10 let the ball club in until the
first payment be made on the grounds
The club therefore perfected is lease
with DIR. McMsster in order that the
opening OF the ease might not be de-
layed, and With the hope that when the
Columbian association is fully organized
it will assume the lease, having as it has.
abundant use fer the grounds, and move
the park into the Columbian grounds
proper, the outlying leased grounds be
ing d sirsble for other purposes
Tonight the soliciting committees are
, to mt et at the rooms of the Rock Island
Improvement association, and next Mon
day evening the final report is expected
Let no one who has Rock Islands interests
at heart be discouraged; it is much easier
to look u the da.k side of great under
taking than the bright side. 1t is easier
to discourage than to encourage public
enterprise. Let no one be guilty OF
throwing cold water on the pr. ,ject, nc
matter what his feelings with regard tc
it.
