Removing Glass Shoppers.

Sometimes it is very difficult to re-
move a glass stopper from a bottle. A
cloth wet in hot water generally is
sufficient. but if this fails, remembe,
the principle is to expand the neck OF
the bottle by heat and not 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 a lamp or can
die, however, in a 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.

Sons Who Died to Avenge Their Fathera
The Forty.ssven Ronins.
No crusader of the west, no viking
of the north, cherished a higher ideal
of loyalty and chivaIry 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 gen.
Grafton the defeat inflicted on their fore
fathers in the year 1000 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 slay the foemen who
had caused the death of their lord. The
favorite heroes, who hold in popular
estimation the place assigned by us to
Robin Hood and his men, are the Al rob-
ms, a 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 anoble who had insulted him,
and these stanch vassals devoted them
selves to the 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
or 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 a review
of British troops in 1864 at Yokohama
a great daimio was watching with in
terest the 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 60 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 mar
among them who, if I say die, will not
unhesitatingly sacrifice his life at my
command. "-Nineteenth Century.

Butler and Father Ryan.

When General Butler was in COM
mand at New Orleans during the rebel
lion, he was informed that Father Ryan,
priest and poet, had been expressing
rebellious sentiments and had said he
would even refuse to hold funeral serv-
ices for a dead Yankee. General Butler
sent for him in haste and began round
ly scolding him for expressing such
un-C Christian and rebellious sentiments.

In 1890 less than four per cent.
Of the people Ct the United States
lived in it's cities. In 1890 more
than 20 per cent. of the population
resided in cities, and it is estimated
chat if the rate of growth and
movement Of population from 1880
to 1890 continues until 1920 the
cities of this nation will contain
ten million more people than the
country. Thus the work Of con-
cEntration goes on.

On n occasion, arriving at Carlisle

have turned his steed out to grass for a
while, and the animal strayed on to a
meadow belonging to the corporation
an got impounded. Although the horse
was given up to him, the poet retaliated
upon the mayor, whose tenure Of office
wa to expire on the very morrow of
the incident, as follows:

WITH February well under way
it is time farmers were considering
the sort Of corn they will use for
seed purposes. Strong vitality and
pure seed are the two chief essen
tials for getting a good stand of
corn that will hold its own against
most adverse conditions, and that
will not be a disappointment when
harvest time comes.

IT was only a coincidence that
on the same day the president
signed the bill repeating all federal
election laws q thousand Demo-
Gratis in Alabama should hold a
state convention and make the

Some Alamance Yarns.

Squire Thompson says he heard a
noise some days ago while he was at
work in his barn coming from hen
with young chickens. He went out TO
where they were, thinking something
was after them, he found that a large
bull frog which had come from his fish
pond about 100 yards away, had attemp
ted to swallow one of the young chicks
and it had lodged in in its throat. The
frog had attempted to swallow the chick
feet formost and would have succeeded
but for the fact that the chicken opened
its wings, which prevented it from 60
ing further. The frog was killed and
the chicken released.
Capt Sam Webb says he has some
corn on the low grounds of Haw River,
which is so thick you can see lighting
bugs there in the day time, and that the
coOns walk all over the field without
getting on the ground.
