Sometimes it is very difficult to re-
move glass stopper from bottle. A
cloth wet in hot water generally is
sufficient. but il this fails, remember
the principle is to expand the neck of
the bottle by heat and net the stopper.
With hot water the latter is often heat
ed equally with the neck, and thus the
desired effect is not produced. By hold
ing the neck of the bottle about half an
inch above the flame Of lamp or can
die, however, in few seconds the most
obstinate cork will generally come out.
Care must be taken to turn the bottle
rapidly and not allow the flames to
touch the glass, as it might crack it.
When the glass is thoroughly heated, a
steady pull and twist will almost al
ways bring out the stopper. Exchange.

The Repairs Were nrads.

The Rev. Mr.. Adams of Leominster
was an eccentric character and had
no hesitation in speaking his mind, Ell
Their to congregation or to individuals.
He was about to exchange with neigh
boring minister, mild and inoffensive
man, who knew the bluntness of his
disposition and said to him in advance
You will find some panes Of glass
broken in the pulpit window, and pos
sibly you may suffer from the cold.
The cushion, too, is in bad condition,
but beg of you not to say anything to
my people about it. They are poor and
disinclined to think Of repairs"
Before Mr.. Adams left home that
Sunday morning he filled bag with
rags and took it with him. When he
had been in the pulpit few minutes
the draft began to make itself felt,
and he deliberately took q handful OF
rags from his bag and stuffed them into
the window. The sermon dwelt upon
the duties of congregations toward their
ministers, and he soon became very an
mated, and brought downs both fists
with tremendous force upon the pulpit
cushion. The feathers scattered in ev-
cry direction, but pausing only to ex-
claim, "Why, how these feathers nyv'
he proceeded with his DISCOURSE.
He had fulfilled his brother minis
ter's request of not addressing the con-
gregation directly on the.subject, but
all the same he had effected his point.
Next Sunday the window and cushions
were found to DO in excellent repair

JAPANESE CLANSMEN.
Sons Who Died to Avenge Their Fathers.
The Forty-seven Ronins.


No crusader of the west, no viking
of the north, cherished a higher ideal
of loyalty and s.chivalry than the clans
men OF old Japan; no Corsican more
ruthlessly handed down a feud from
generation to generation or exacted from
son and brother the execution of a
sterner vendetta. The Satsuma men of
today triumph in the fact that their
own swords have avenged in this gem
Grafton the defeat inflicted on their fore
fathers in the year /, 900 by the Todu-
gawa clan.
Legend and drama recount every day
to eager ears the stories of SONS who
died to avenge their fathers, clansmen
that they might STAY the foemen who
had caused the death Of their lord. The
favorite heroes, who hold in popular
estimation tho place assigned by us to
Robin Hood and his men, are the AZ rob-
ms, name given to men who have
lost their clanship.
Their lord was obliged to commit
hara kiri, or judicial suicide, for hav-
ing within royal precincts drawn his
sword on noble who had insulted him,
and these stanch vassals devoted them
selves to tho destruction of the insult
er, knowing assuredly that, having slain
him, they would be equally condemned
to take their own lives.
Still may be seen fresh incense sticks
burning before the graves of their lead
er and his young son and visiting cards
stuck into the little tablets above them
as tokens Of the respect in which they
are held by those who know their story
and deplore their doom.
Mr.. Black records that at review
of British troops in 1854 at Yokohama
great daimio was watching with in
terest the maneuvers of their regiments
and batteries of artillery stationed there.
At the conclusion he was asked to al
low the escort Of his retainers who had
accompanied him to go through their
drill and tactics, to which he readily
consented.
Turning to Sir Rutherford Alcock,
who was inspecting the troops, he proud
ly said:
my retinue is small, and their tao
tics are not worthy Of notice after what
we have seen, but there is not one man
among them who, if say die, will not
unheeitatingly sacrifice his life at my
command. "-Nineteenth Century.
