As Good as a Corkscrew.

No doubt you have found yourself in the predicament of having forgotten the corkscrew, and you are out in the fields trying to get a draught from a fold bottle. Here' is a new and simple way to overcome the difficulty, the invention of which is to be accredited to a convivial young scientist. Hold the neck of the bottle firmly in your right hand and with your left hold a handkerchief against the trunk of a tree. Now with a quick blow hit the side of the tree covered with the handkerchief. The cork will immediately fly out. Then turn the bottle upward so the fluid will not flow out after the cork.
