Procure a small vial of thin glass; such as homoeopathic medicines
come in are best. In the bottom of this file with a fine file four
holes, as represented in our cut; then fill it with water, and hand it
to a friend, requesting him to smell it. As soon as he removes the cork,
the water will pour out of the holes at the bottom.

=Wuertemberg.=--The house of Wuertemberg, it is said, derives its name
from the following legend: A poor burgher fell in love with the daughter
of the Emperor of Austria, and as the two young people saw no prospect
of obtaining the Imperial consent to their union, they fled together
into Suabia, where they bought a small piece of land, and established an
inn. It stood at the foot of a mountain, and its possessor therefore
went by the name of the "Wirt am Berg," or the "Landlord at the
Mountain." One day the Emperor was travelling to Frankfort, and stopped
on his way at his daughter's house without recognizing her. She knew him
directly, and persuaded her husband to make himself known to the
Emperor, and to beg his forgiveness. Accordingly, taking their little
son, they all fell at his feet, entreating his pardon, which he
willingly granted. Moreover, the Emperor created his son-in-law a duke;
but in memory of this occurrence he was to keep his name of "Wirt am
Berg," which subsequently became Wuertemberg.
