WILD NOTES FROM WESTERN WAR
BLER.-The correspondent Of the Cleve-
land Leader, writing from Boston of the
jubilee, offers some novel suggestions, q
few of which we quote:
Some Of the outside positions at the
Coliseum commanded prices that were in
advance of those inside, and one chap
who found knot hole near the North
end OF the building refused twenty dol
lars for it's use during the day, and few
moments later was arrested by the police.
Honesty is the best policy when the po-
lice arc around. Gilmore informed me
yesterday, that at least $50, 600 worth of
music escaped by way OF the cracks and
knot holes during the first days concert,
but he has had q corps of canlkers busy
ever since, and but little free music will
escape hereafter.
at last the vast corps of musicians
were in their places, the audience had
nearly assembled. and nothing relieved
the oppressive stiffness Of the vast audito-
rum but the crushing sound of police.
mans club as he caved in the head of o
noisy spectator, or the heavy thud of a
singer that had tainted away under the
excitement. But one fatal accident
served to mar the harmony of the open
Ing piece. and that was entirely unavoid-
able. 1t appears a workman who had
been engaged in setting up the great
organ, the day previous, had left his
shoes in the great sixteen foot pipe
known as the Bourbon doublemouth. "
thinking he had time to get his shoes
before the performance, he deoended the
pipe, but while inside the signal came,
the air was turned on, and like stone
from catapult his body was shot up
through the roof, followed by his shoes,
and both were picked up on Bunker
Hill later in the day. The trifling i'm
pediment OF human body in the pipes
does not affect tho beautiful, clear tone
OF the organ in the least.
The 'Inhammatus" from Roesini's Stu
bat Mater, which, as translated for me
by Harvard student, means "the in
hamation resulting from Rossini's stab at
his mother" was not very successfully
rendered by Madame Rudersdorff, ac-
cording to our ideas of things. When
she sang the chorus alone she was heard
by everybody in the building, but when
few thousand of the singers tried 10
help her on the solo, the effect was
spoiled. In order to properly render
the piece it becomes necessary for the
singer to reach the 'high G" twice; and
though she touched this point twice, she
was unable to hold it, but slipped and
fell several feet, where she caug ght on to
several lower notes, and held until Gill
more brought step-ladder, by which
she quickly mounted to the high c.,
where she hung for several minutes, re-
ce'ving the applause Of the audience.

Tho First Pocket.


What is this tremendous noisl?
What can be the matter?
Willie's coming up the stairs
With unusual clatter.
Now he bursts into the room,
Noisy &c q rocket:
"Auntie! am five years old
And I've got pocket"
Eye as round and bright as stars:
Cheeks like apples glowing;
Heart that this new treasure fills
Quite to overflowing.
Jack may have his squeukinG boota;
Kate may have her locket;
Zee got something hetter set-
have got pocket"
All too fresh the joy to make
Emptiness eorrow;
Little hand is plump enough
To ill it'll tomorrow.
And, e'er many days were DER,
Strangest things did stock it;
Nothing ever came amiss
To this wondrous pocket.
Leather, marbles, bits of string,
Licorice-sticks and candy,
Stones. ball. his pennies, Toe
It was always handy.
And, when Willie's snug in bed,
Should you chance to knock it,
Sundry treasures rattle ont
From this crowded pocket.
Sometimes Johnny's borrowed knife
Found place within it;
He forgot that he had said,
l want 1t just a minute"
Once the cloeet-key was lost;
No one could unlock it.;
Where do you suppose it was?
Down in Willie's pocket!

Vinegar--Water Cider.

A correspondent of the Farmer calls on
me cor some one to answer certain quer-
les suggested, it seems, by my article on
the apple.
Information on such subjects given to the
public through the press, ought to be exact
and well confirmed by the practice and ex-
perience, or the careful observation of the
writer. Aud as my knowledge in reference
to the questions propounded is not exact,
and as many long years have passed since
| have had any practical knowledge of such
matters, | answer according to the best of
my ability, only because no one else has
done so.
First. Cider will make vinegar without
water. Pure cider makes the strongest
vinegar, - when perfected by age, too
strong for ordinary domestic use. | have
known 1t to be so strong as to destroy
picked cucumbers, reducing the lntenal
parts to pulp.
Second, The time required to turn cider
to vinegar depends on circumstances. BY
art it may be done in very short time.
BY the ordinary method practced in fami-
lies, cider will become pretty good vinegar
in year; and with proper management,
will continue to improve for 4 considerable
period longer.
The reader should understand that the
process of turning cider to vinegar is sim
ply a process of fermentation. or rather of
series of termentations. First, the sac
charne fermentation, by which the Saccha-
rne matter in the apple Juice is turned TO
alcohol, and cider is the product. After a
period of time the aScetouS Fermentation
sets in, and in the end turns the cider to
vinegar In the cellar this is probably

Coal Ashes.

Dry earth is unquestonably the best
thing in the world for the dusting bin. 1t
may be procured with very little trouble
during a dry spell in summer. But if not
attended to at the proper season, or if the
supply gives out, then coal ashes are verv
good substitute. One great merit they
possess is, that as taken from the stove or
furnace they are so very dry. The dust
bin in the fowl house should be so arran@-
ed as not to gather dampness from the
ground, fer the drier its contents can be
kept the better. Coal ashes should be fur
nished in separate box, in case the dust
bin is filled with dry earth, for the ashes
contain materials for the formation of egg
shells. Wood ashes have been recommend
ed for fowls to roll in, rs it is said the pot
ash they contain is noXious to vermin No
doubt, but 1t is too caustic for the feet and
skin of the fowls, and in wet weather forms

ashes when dry earth is accessible, and
they ought to have something to say in the
matter. Poultry World.
