Nor A QUESTION OF OWNERSHIP
President Eliot, of Harvard, told this
story al the Cornell club dinner the
other evening:
"a friend of mine, a college profes
sor, went into a crowded restaurant
in New York for luncheon one hot day
last summer. The Negro in charge o
the big corridor where the hat-shelves
stood was an intelligent looking
fellow, and his bow and smile were moi
of the obsequious, stupid kind, so Otter
affected by colored walters and door
men in hotels. He took my friend:
hat and gave no check in return. Al
hour later, when the professor came
out of the dining room, the Negro
glanced at him in comprehensive
way, turned to the shelves and hand
ed him his hat.
"My friend is man who pride'
himself on his powers of observation
and the Negroes ability to remember
to whom each article of clothing be-
longed struck him as being something
wonderful.
"How did you know this was my
hat?' he asked.
"'I didn't know it sah,' was the
reply: o
"'Then why did you give it to me :?
the professor persisted.

How TO FUMIGATE A POULTRY
HOUSE. The poultry keeper who
whilewashes his henhouse four times q
year need have no fear Of it becoming
infested with insect vermin, nor will it
be necessary for him to fumigate it, as
there will be no object in doing so,
since there will be no insect life to de-
stroy. But the owner of the poultry
house that needs fnmigating should set
about it in the following way: Remove
all nests, perches and everything that
is portable. Put pound Of sulphur
in an iron pan with some burning Goals,
in the middle of the house. Then
close the doors, windows and all other
openings, and let them remain so for
two or three hours. Afterward paint
the roosts and nest boxes thoroughly
with coal tar, and whitewash the house
both inside and out with lime. A
spraying pump is very useful to get
the limewash into the crevices in the
roosts aud walls, and it is beneficial
to add some carbolic acid to the lime
wash. Once q house is thoroughly
freed from vermin it is easy to keep ii
so by attending !. it regularly and
taking the precautionary measure oi
frequent limewashing.-The Kansas
| Farmer.

How to Open Bottle In Case of an
Emergency.
From the New York Sun.
The talk turned to the opening Of
bottles without the aid Of a corkscrew,
and the freshest man in the party called
for two penknives and a tightly corked
bottle. Everybody else pushed back
from the table and gave him plenty Of
room. He opened the biggest blades
of the two knives and then inserted
one between the glass of the bottle
and the cork. He pushed it down as
far as he could. Then he took the
other knife and showed it down the
same way on the other side of the
bottle. Selling the handles of the
knives he pressed them together and
pulled upward. Up came the cork
with them.
"That's neat trick" said the Ken
lucky colonel, "but what are you 90.
ing to do if you don't have two knives Z?
Here, now, I'll show you how to open
Il bottle without any psraphernalla.
You know we occasionally get caught
out in Kentucky with nothing on us
but our guns. Give me bottle"
The waiter brought fresh bottle.
The colonel took his handkerchief out,
wadded up, and then seized the bottle
firmly by the neck. He put the hand.
kerchief against the wall and poising
the bottle, drove it bottom first against
the waddcd handkerchief. Everybody
lodged and protested that he'd smash
the bottle. The colonel did not heed
The protests; but again drove the bot
tie, bottom first, against the wall.
There was little snap that sounded
like the cracking of glass and that
brought out more protests. The colo
mel grinned and offered to bet the
drinks he'd pull the cork without
breaking the bottle. The bet was
taken. The colonel drove the bottle
solidly back again and again and then
a fourth and fifth time. AT the fifth
drive the cork flew across the room.
The colonel opened The bottle quickly.
Didn't lose teaspoonful," " said he.
"Drinks are on me-" said the man
who had taken the bet, "but | don't
see how ii was done"
"You must have seen how it was
DONE" said the colonel. "If there Is
an inch of air space in the bottle be
tween the bottom of the cork and the
liquor, the cork is bound to come every
time. The air drives it out and there
isn't any danger Of breaking the bot.
tie either"
All that party are around this town
winning drinks on the colonel's idea.
If you meet fellow who wants 10 bel
he can can pull the cork from a bot
tie without using corkscrew, knife or
teeth, don't take him up for he will
win your money.
