UneorkIna a Bottle.

It often happens that in attempting
to uncork a bottle the stopper is
forced into the bottle instead, and It
thus floats on the liquid. This would
perhaps not be a drawback were 1t
not that each time the bottle is to be
emptied the cork comes to the neck
and causes an obstruction, preventing
the flow of the liquid. This can be
avoided very readily, and all that is
needed Is to bend a piece OF stih iron
wire in a long Ushape, properly fit
ting II in the neck OF the bottle so
that the loop portion projects some,
what below the neck. Upon overturn.
ing the bottle, the wire loop prevents
the cork from reaching the neck to OBJ.

Suicides In Cars Army.

The R~azvedchik. the semi-oficial or
gan OF the Russian army, publishes
some startling figures about the ex-
tent OF the suicide mania among Rus
sian troops, quoting a report recently
presented to a Moscow learned society
by a well-known military surgeon Doc
tor Prozoroff.
II appears that in 1905 no fewer
tina 144 cases OF suicide occurred in
the Russian army. In the following
year the number lose to 1872. Since
then 1t steadily kept on growing, be-
ing 21O in 1907, 2i2 in 1908, 263 in
1909, 26S in 1910. 347 in 1911 and 4O5
in 1912. Within seven years. there
fore, the number of suicides increased
about n hundred and fifty per cent.
The figures for 1913 have not yet been
published, but, according to Doctor
Prozoroff, the first eight months Of
last year showed 377 cases OF suicide
and lS9 cases of attempts at suicide,
and for 1914 the high mark continues.
Out of the 377 cases just mentioned ~
occurred among officers.

Trade Of Bottle Sorter.

One of London's queer trades Is that
Of empty bottle sorting at the London
bottle exchange of Blackfrairs road.
These bottles have been salvaged from
dustbins, cellars, the holds of ships
and wherever bottles go astray.
Every year at least 1000, 900 bottles,
after many wanderings. find their way
to the bottle exchange. They are sort
ed and returned to their rightful own
ers, who pay an annual subscription
as we'll as a few shillings a gross for
returned bottles.
Readed on the bottle, as II were, a
sorter at the exchange must be a man
OF keen eye and delicate touch. All
that he has to guide him In thousands
OF cases is the embossed name on the
glass, and swiftly, u%nerringly and with
almost uncanny deftness he picks out
n bottle which has wandered from
Glasgow and puts 1t In the case bound
for the North.

She Was Wise.

A student took a lovely young
woman to the theater the other night.
He busted himself buying the tickets
and he didn'y enjoy the show much,
because he kept thinking that maybe
she would expect him to take her into
the drug store and buy her something
before they took the car for home.
So soon as the performance was
over he said:
Have you been reading all these
dreadful exposures OF drug store bev-
erages In the Home Muckraker? It's
awfully interesting. Doctor Wiley tells
OF how a young woman went to a soda
fountain, drank a popular drink and
dropped dead"
How ~tragicl" murmured the girl.
