To Make the Stopper Come Out.

There are several ways of loosening the glass stoppers of dechnters and bottles. One is to stand the bottle in hot water, another is to drop a little oil with a feather between the stopper and the decanter and stand it near the fire. After a time strike the stopper gently with a piece of wood on all sides, and if it does not move repeal the process. A strip of flannel or wool wound around the neck of a bottle and smartly pulled backward and forward to produce friction will sometimes loosen stoDDers.
