From the Cincinnati Price CURRENT
In considering the circumstances ard
conditions which have II bearing upon the
probable prosperity of the provision
trade during the season now opening, the
first which naturally presents itself Is
the question of the supply of hogs IN the
West, and the extent to which they Will
be- prepared for market The number OF
hogs in the country is always very much
larger than the number which are sent To
market in any gwen season. The re-
ports of the Auditor of State of the num-
Ter of hogs six months old and over IN
the spring of the Year, rs lar rs they are
made, usually show about three times rs
many hogs as are sent to market the sue
cpeding season, but from only few "l
the Western States are these reports
available. The reports OF the Depart

therefore, less valuable; we take them
for comparison, however, for the larger

during the close Of the winter packing
season, and many were sent to market
during the summer; but of course the
natural increase has gone on, and the
prices which have been current for hogs

encourage the breeding ofswine, and We
may safely assume that if there is any

Learning by Experience.

A few DAYS since an elderly gentle
man, who had got out of business and
considered that he was too advanced in
age to do hard work, concluded to start
a grocery store. He secured a stock of
goods, and yesterday morning, while
preparing Tor opening the establish
ment, concluded that he would tap the
kegs OF beer left on the previous day.
A friend who was present, seeing him
approach one OF the kegs with an anger.
inquired what he was going to do. and
learned that he intended to "tan the
beer" The questioner suggested that
the proper way vas to place the faucet
In position and drive in the cork which
the revenue stamp covered but the old
gentleman concluded that his way was
the best, and forthwith forced a hole
through the top of the keg. Of course
the beer assembled like a fountain as he
withdrew the anger, and he endeavored
to suppress it by putting his hand over
the hole, and, failing in this, by insert
ing lis finger; as last resort he sat
down upon it, calling loudly for some
one to hand him a faucet, but mean
while the beer had forced it's way
through his pants, climbed upward, and
was oozing out everywhere emerging
from his waistband, and even at his
shirt collar, and the bystanders were
laughing so hard that they were unable
to do anything to relieve him, even if
they had dared to venture within the
area of beer spray. It was not until
every drop had left the key that the old
gentleman felt warranted in getting up.

The Oldest.

Chemistry owes it's origin to the
Phmnicans and Egyptians. From them
the Gree ks obtained some knowledge of
the art, but the Greek intellect, being
speculative rather than practical, hat
is to say, the Greek being a lazy ami
NAL, not fond of exertion, and all chemi-
cal discoveries requiring very active,
and oftentimes lt4borious, experiment.
ing, they found itmuch the easier wsyto
sit still and spin q science of chemistry
out of their imagination. Which they
did, quite to their own satisfaction.
Aristotle looked at fire, air, earth and
water with the air of learned philoso-
pher, and spun out of his imagination that
fire, air, earth and water were the four
simple elements out Of which everything
else was formed. In point of fact,
Aristotle was as far from being right as
black is from being white. To make an
original remark, which has probably
been made at least a thousand times be-
fore, fire is not substance at all, but
only an operation water is not simple
substance, being composed of two gases;
air is also composed of two gases, and

people believed in Aristotle's classified
tion for centuries, showing the stead

sticks to an error just because it is old

REKLAM BROTHERS.

Something I saw exhibited in the
window attracted my attention, and in
duced me to enter the shop of Messrs.
Reklam Brothers. It was certainly
not the ticket inscribed, ''First floor to
let unfinished, it was rather, if re-
member rightly, delicate little taxa
of genuine Venetian glass, curiously de-
signed, and rich in dainty opaline tints
and reflections. / was in a humble
way, and for my own qualification
simply, q collector of trifes of that
kind. The Messrs. Reklam were Ger
man Jews-or Polish, Tn not sure
Withdrawing in old pictures, curiosi-
ties, articles of vertu, and antiquities.
Their house was situated in dull
street in the Soho district. Fashion
and gentility had, no doubt, in times
past made their home there they had
long since vanished, however, leaving
in their stead sort of dingy respecta-
bility, and an air of trade of rather a
torpid character. Shops and private
houses were much intermingled, but
there were few evidences of business
being very actively carried on. The
street could not boast much business
traffic, for, although a thoroughfare, it
led to nowhere in particular, and offered
small advantages as shortcut. It was
bounded on the north by Oxford street,
and on the south by an intricate tangle
of courts and alleys. The houses were
of q substantial, spacious, old fashioned
class, with rather dimly Lit rooms.
The contents of the shop almost defy
enumeration. They were such, how
ever, as are usually to be found in the
possession Of traders in curiosities, had
been collected from all parts of the
globe, and pertained to every period,
with the exception, perhaps, of the
present. There were weapons and ar
NOR, of course, in great abundance,
with carvings in wood and ivory, paint
ings and enamels, china and glass,
coins, embroideries, lace, antique fur
niture, feathers, idols, stuffed animals,
skins. monstrosities of all kinds, and
other muItitudinous objects. [ was
impressed by the extent and value of
the collection. It filed the shop quite
to it's remote corners, leaving only a
little patch of vacancy in the center of
the floor. Even the ceiling was crowd
ed and outrageous with precious
things among them, pendent lamps of
every device, and chandeliers that were
perfecF thickets of crystal.
Mr.. Aaron Reklam, with whom I first
became acquainted, was by no means
the picturesque Jew of fiction. He was
not bent with age !; he wore no flowing
beard or long draperies; no velvet
skuI-cap crowned him his skin was
not of parchment, nor was his face hol-
lowed and dinted by the hand of time.
He was simply dressed, and had the air
of London tradesman of reputable
position. In answer to my inquiries. I

OF the house. The two drawing-rooms

The Secrets of the Bowl.

A former Brooklyn saloon-keeper,
who has been converted by the Quaker
ladies, has printed the receipts he used
to keep secret. He says bourbon rye
whisky is manufactured from highwines,
commonly called fusel oil whisky, made
to-day and drank three days after. It
also contains vinegar, syrup, oil of
bourbon, French coloring, bluestone,
and other poisonous chemicals. 1t
costs from 80 cents to 81 a gallon, and
retails for SIS to $6 gallon.
Cognac brandy is made from French
or Cologne spirits, burnt sugar, oil of
cognac, vinegar, bluestone, Jamaica
rum, honey syrup, port wine, French
coloring, rum, and aloes. It costs 50
gallon, and retails from SIS to $40
gallon.
Irish or Scotch whisky is made from
Canada highwines, or new distilled
whisky, one week old, saltpeter, fine
salt, essence of oil of Scotch Or Irish
whisky, fusel oil, syrup, bluestone, ST.
Croix rum, some imported Irish or
Scotch whisky for flavor. It costs $50,
and retails for Sc gallon.
What sells for the best old Holland
gin is made from French spirits, water,
oil of juniper, SYRUP, white wine vine
gar, bluestone, New England rum, peach
pipes, with some imported gin for
flavor.
Old Tom gin is made from the same
ingredient, but double syrup is added
to make it sweeter. It costs $1.25 a
gallon, and retails for SIS. It is also
bottled as medicine, and sold for the
kidney disease.
Jamaica and ST. Croix rum is made
of double refined highwines, French
coloring, oil of rum, fusel oil, vinegar,
bluestone, burnt sugar, molasses syrup,
with some Jamaica, Cuba, or ST. Croix
rum for flavor, alum, aloes, and prune
juice.
Stock ale or porter is diluted with oil
of vitriol, strychnine, and aqua fortis to
make it keep. New ale is diluted with
oil of yitriol and damaged molasses.
Lager beer contains little malt, plenty
of water, some inferior hops, rosin, tar,
saleratus, soda, with four different
chemicals to make it keep after brewing.

fluids sold over two thirds Of the bars
in New York and Brooklyn are COM

Tive Kinds,

There are two kinds of girls one is
the kind that appears best abroad, the
girls that are good for parties, rides,
visits, balls, etc., and whose chief de-
light is in all such things. The other is
the kind which appears best at home,
the girls that are useful and cheerful in
the dining-room, the sick room, and all
the precincts of home. They differ
widely in character. One is frequently
a torment at home ; the other is bless
ing. One is moth, consuming every
thing about her; the other is a sun
beam, inspiring life and gladness all
along the pathway. Now it does not
necessarily follow that there shall be
two classes of girls. The right modif-
cation would modify them both little
and unite their characters in one.
