IooseNING IhE STOPPER.

Medicines, perfumes, aud other vaiua-
BILE articles, or those liable TO suffer
deterioration from contact with the air,
as well as corrosive substances liable TO
destroy the fibre Of corks, are frequently
put up In bottles with ground glass stop
pers and necks. This makes very
efficient stopper-so efficient, In many
cases, that il is very difficult matter TO
loosen il. But il is easy TO bear In mind
proper rules for procedure in such cases.
Apothecaries, who handle such bottles
daily, often acquire skill In starting the
fixed oorks. A sudden tap with hard
stick or knife handle will often allow
the stopper to be readily taken out. IL
this has been put 10 place while the bot
tie is somewhat warm, the neck OF the
bottle will contract and hold it very fast.
IL the neck OF the bottle be surrounded
by cloth wet with hot water, the glass
will usually expand and allow the stop
per TO be taken out with ease. The most
difficult cases are where the liquid in the
bottle is of such kind that 1t may form q
cement between the cork and the socket.
Place such bottle stopper downward In
= saucepan containing water. Let the
whole soak for some hours; then place
the saucepan on the stove and heat the
water gradually. Try the stopper from
time to time; usually 1t may be removed
long before the water Is hot enough to
boil. By this method We have rarely
failed to remove glass cOrks that resisted
all other means.

SHORT GIRLS.
THEY HAVE TREMENDOUS ADVANTAGES
OVER THEIR LONGER SISTERS.

The short girl has many advantages
life looking up, and nothing Is so becom-
Ing 10 eyes as that. Her lashes show
more and so does her hair. There are
curves OF cheek, chin and throat that
look their prettiest 10 man who must
glace down 10 them.
A small girl Is more easily held and
more easily kissed. IL Is nicer TO have
10 lift her face up by the chin, and II Is
more epicurean and satisfactory TO reach
down to upturned lips.
1t Is comfortable when you hold a girl
on your knee to have her head just come
to your shoulder, instead OF having Il
hang over-surplus as II were. Every
thing about small girl Is likely to be a
provocation--the Unexpectedly tiny
hands, the distracting morsels OF feet,
the little head, the little nose.
A small girl can be fascinating even In
a temper, she can be lovely when she
pouts, and none OF these moods sits well
on n big woman. Then, too, the man In
love Is inclined 10 pet names, and he
wants to call his girl "Birdy," whether
she weighs 200 or not; yet he Is not in.
sensible 10 the appropriateness OF the
title when given TO real little thing.
A man likes TO feel big, by comparison
at least. A really large man does not
object to seeming almost giant beside
the girl Of his heart, and il Is almost
necessary TO the short mans vanity tina,
he shall seem big TO the little creature
he Ii going 10 marry
Ii is very fetching to have ones girl
say: please, sir, my neck gets so tired
you're so tall" Don't you know what
that means. Well, get bit OF girl and
you will find out. On the whole, the
small girl has the best Of it.-Kansas
