Blowing n Cork Into q Bottle.

Ask some Of the company if they can
blow small bit of cork which. you have
placed in the mouth Of bottle 80 that
1t will go into the body OF the bottle.
Lay the bottle ON the table upon its
side and place the bit Of cork about an
inch or less inside the open end. The
uninitiated will blow until they get red
In the face, and the cork will invariably
come ont of the bottle instead Of going
into it. There lisa simple reason for 1t
too. The direction Of the air forced by
the one blowing brings it against the
bottom of the bottle. The air congresses
within the bottles walls and must find
an outlet therefore it is turned and fore
ed cut at the only vent the bottle has,
necessarily blowing the cork with it
But take common lemonade straw,
place the end Of il near the cork in the
bottle neck. blow very gently-and the
cork rolls in.

the people were far better pleased

Is no reason why celebration here
this year should not again be success.
There is plenty or good argument in

President Mckinley's amendment

the civil service rules, which was form
ally given to the public on the 10Th
ult., releases from these rules about
1860 offices. The president has had
this amendment under advisement for
more than year. or course, a storm
OF criticism will he heaped upon the
presidents head for this action by his
political opponents, but he has done
only what justice demanded he should
do and will be upheld by all fair
minded people. The offices released
are those principally which Cleveland
had placed under civil service rules,
after all republicans, and especially
old soldiers, had been fired out to
make places for democrats. Civil ser
