HOW TO BE CLEVER WITH BOTTLES.


What to DO In the Lack of n Corkscrew Oh
When There Is Cork In the Beer.
| During the season of out Of door enjoy.
ments and open air lunches one of the
things that will often bother party will
arise from the neglect to provide the lunch
outfit with corkscrew. OF course IL the
drinkables happen to be In patent stop
pered bottles, like those that lager beer
usually comes in, corkscrew will not be
necessary, but suppose the beer Is in cork
ed bottles or that it Is ale--how shall 1t be
opened?
There Is trick Of taking off the heads
or bottles that Is worth knowing. You are
pretty sure to have at hand table knife
or a good sized pocketknife. The case knife
Is to be preferred
Grasp the beer bottle In the left hand
and the knife in the right hand Lay the
bottle on your knee and draw the knife
vigorously across the neck of the bottle
just back OF the rim that incloses the
cork, just as IL you were going to saw the
head OIL the bottle You will not, of course,
be able to cut the head of the bottle, but
II you bear on pretty hard and turn the
bottle around gradually until every part
OF the neck has been under thse knife's
edge you will scratch the enamel Of the
glass all around. This is the purpose of
the saving. When this is accomplished,
lay tho knife blade hatwise on the bottle
and with the back of the blade strike the
bottle rim two or three sharp blows
lengthwise of the bottle as IL you would
knock the head off. Presently you will
hear Ii break under the blows, and it will
break just in the line of the scratches on
the enamel
The cork in an ale bottle extends below
the break and holds the head -Put-a
napkin over the head and draw the cork.
Head and all will come off as clean as a
whistle. You need fear no chips Of broken
glass IL the saving has been well done.
The old bottle mnn will not thank you for
the trick, but you will not need to worry
about n corkscrew when you have acquir-
ed it.
Another little bit of manipulation is
good to know about. Corks In all bottles
are often bad and in drawing them they
Will crumble. II the ale is poured directly
under these Circumstances, bits of cork will
appear In some of the glasses These bits
of cork are easily got rid Of. Hold the
bottle upright and tap Its side sharply.
All the bits Of cork will rise into the neck
OF the bottle. and presently the ale will be-
gin to send out a bead of foam. On top
of this the cork crumbs will rise. Blow
of the head of the foam, and all the bits
of cork will be gone. Then you can de-
can't the ale and have 1t clear and ready to
York sun.

TAPPED THE WIRES.
Pool Room at Point Of Pines Tapped
on Saturday Last.
BIZ The Associated rress.

LYNN, Aug. 20.-It has just leaked out
here that the pool rooms in this city and
at the Point of Pines were badly swindled
Saturday afternoon by the tappers. The
pool room here was raided some
time ago, but the manager was
not convicted, and the place
has since been running full blast. On
Saturday the owners here dropped $1,000
on two races, while at the Point of Pines
$500 was lost on the same races. The
managers suspicious were aroused and
he refused to pay out any more until
he had made an investigation. The
investigation showed that the wires
had been tapped and it is believed that the
guilty parties, who are undoubtedly tele-
graph operators, will soon be arrested.
