GOLD STRONG.
The earliest recorded sale OF gold was at hex
from which there was an advance to l2k. Here
there was a sudden rush TO sell on the announce
ment from Liverpool that through some mscalcula-
t0n there was discrepancy oil 10000 bales In the
account OF the stock OF cotton the English mar
ket. or couse the eiec. was decline In gold Tor
the reason that snca a deficiency would lead to
heavy exports OF cotton from this port. Moreover
the feeling is so general thai with the steady reduc
'aion Of the pubic debt and the enhancement OF
the national credit there is little opportunity
1or any great rise in gold that the
e'bulls" were content to realize at a
small profit. Whine the future OF gola is very I'M

wise quite certain that it cannot make any very
great neadway .anst the tide OF influences which
are operating generally 10 exiingush the gold pre-
MUM. Hence the "Dull" feeling Is not very con-
hdent one. and tie speculative element Is urning TO
the Stock Exchange as field for more remanera-
tive operations. The frmness In exchange gives
substance to the impression that until the new cot
ton crop affords the country the source OF making
large exports TO Europe gold will be used in settle
ment Of outstanding balances, but the most conf

OF more than o few Ger cent on the present price.
With regard to the telegram from Liverpool, 1t was

Dose OF breaking the gold market and enabling both

fuller advices we shall suspect something wrong
about the matter for at the first blush it seems i'm
possible that The statistics OF the trade could have
been so erroneous 10 overstate the stock 10000

TO 1l2h, but the suspicion above referred TO occa-
STONED reaction to l132. Late in the evening, as
the original telegram was not denied, the belief
gained ground again that 1t might be true, and gold
closed at 1l2H. Tne course OF the market is shown

Superior Flour Paste.

When domestic paste is made,
the material is frequently injur-
ed by scorching, or by addition
of too much water. Good paste,
when spread on paper, will not
strike through it like water, but
will remain on the surface, like
butter on a piece of bread. To
make superior quality that will
not spoil when kept in a cool
place for several months, it is
necessary to add dissolved alum
as preservative. When a few
quarts are required, dissolve a
dessert-spoonful of alum in two
quarts Of tepid water. Put the
water in tin pail that will hold
six or eight quarts as the flour
of which the paste is made will
expane greatly while boiling.
AS soon as the tepid water has
cooled, stir in good rye or wheat
flour until the liquid has the con-
sistency Of cream. See that every
lump of flour is crushed, before
placing the vessel over the fire.
To prevent scorching the paste,
place over the fire a dish-kettle
or wash-boiler, partly filled with
water, and set the tin pail con-
tanning the material for paste in
the water, permitting the bottom
to rest on a few nails or pebbles,
to prevent excessive heat. Now
add a tea-spoonful of powdered
resin, a few cloves to flavor the
paste, and let it cook until the
paste has become as thick as
"Graham mush," when it will
be ready for use. Keep it in a
tight jar, and it will last for
long time. Iftoo thick, add cold
water, and stir it thoroughly.
Such paste will hold almost as
well as Manufacturer
and Builder.

Farm and Household.
Care Of Flowers in October.

Many who have flowers and
dread the time when Jack Frost
will destroy all their treasures,
attempt to take them in the
house for winter blossoming.
Few attempts ofthe kind succeed.
First, because the right kind Of
plant is not selected, and second,
because the right time is not
chosen. Some plants like roses,
verbenas, geraniums, and carna-
tions, may be kept in bloom all
winter in perfection in a room
not too warm, and where the
atmosphere is kept moist by a
vessel of water always on the
stove; but if we wait until the
ground is about to freeze, the
plants if taken up with utmost
care will not recover in season
to flower well through the win
ter.
We succeed best by taking up
all such plants in September or
early in October, they then have
the long Indian summer to grow
in, and they should be taken in
to the house every cool night,
leaving them in a sheltered place
OF on porch, through the day.
When the cold weather comes
they should not be brought too
suddenly into a warm room, but
the change should be gradual.
They may be left in a room a few
weeks without injury. If when
put in a warm room the pots are
set in a box or on a shelf where
moist sand is spread-they will
thrive better. A few roses of
various colors, a verbena or two,
and few choice geraniums, are
lovely indeed in winter; they
cheer the darkest day, and give
pleasure and home-like feeling
to all.-Es.

To Make VINEGAR From Milk,

To one gallon of milk add one
gill of diluted alcohol, at forty
five per cent. and when it has
become sour, separate the curd
from the whey by filtering, and
set aside the latter for month
or more, when it will be found TO
be good vinegar. containing no
Tactic acid. SKINNED milk will
answer as good purpose as any
