Imitation vinegars.

As the season for making pickles is at
hand, few words on the Importance
of using vinegar of known genuine
ness will hardly be considered out OF
place. 1t is well known that a large
proportion Of that which is commonly
sold as clear vinegar is a connection of
acids and other vile ingredients, which
is indeed acid, but had its origin else
where than the apple-orchards of New
England.
Imitation vinegars are class of vine
CARS commonly found in market, hav-
ing various chemical properties, and
none of preservative character, as they
fail to protect, and are liable to con-
sumo whatever substance they come in
contact with. The Scientific Americ IN
cautions the public against the use of
adulterated vinegar. It says: "The
heavy Government tax on alcohol has
raised the price SO much that resort is
had to cheaper substance, to give the
required acidity to vinegar. For this
purpose sulphuric, nitric and hydro
chloric acids are used; though sulphuric
acid, as the cheapest and sourest thing

however, is very destructive to, pickles
and whatever is placed in
it for preservation, and very
injurious to the health of those who use
the vinegar made of it. Agallon of the
stuff called vinegar can be made for .
cent or two from sulphuric acid water,
with some coloring matter. To detect
the presence of sulphuric acid, take a
small quantity of the vinegar in clear
glass and drop few drops of the chic
ride of barium into it, or the nitrate of
baryta. 4 If the liquid presents cloudy
appearance, there is sulphuric acid in
it, and it should all be returned to the
| manufacturer or turned into the gutter. -
These vinegars are ingeniously manipu-
lated by the use of volatile others, and
favored by. stering in casks containing
powdered tartar, crushed raisins and
raisin stems, with various other sub
stances not necessary to mention, which,
in most cases, are found to succeed in
deceiving consumers and entailing
losses which greatly exceed the neces-
sary outlay in the first place for good
article. Such losses are usually at
tributed to other than the right cause,
and the real one is not discovered until
! too late to remedy the difficulty.

Sterling Advice to q Young Woman
About to Marry.

The young woman said her lover was
coming on in the midnight train and
she was going with him to the next sta
ton to be married. Whereupon the
old lady said she had much experience
in the marrying business" and would
give the young lady some advice, and
here is what she said:
"Well, child, never marry railroad
er, for he is liable to get killed at any
time. Besides, he has such a nice
chance to firt.
"Never marry a military man, for
he's liable to go to war and get shot.
Besides, his gorgeous clothes attract the
attention of the women.
Never marry hOtel-keeper. My
first husband was hotel-keeper and
fell through the elevator opening and
broke his darned skull. 1t rifles me.
when think of that man.
"Never marry travelling man, for
he's always away from hum. Nobody
knows what these men are up to when
they are away from hum.
g Never marry steamboater. My
second husband was steamboat cap
tain, and got bowed into 100000
pieces, blast him! I always get terri
bly mad when think of that man.
"Never marry a dry-goods man.
DYES in cloths is so injurious. They
never live half their days.
"Never marry grocer. They have
such dirty hands. My third husband
was a grocer, and such hands as he'd
have was 'nuf to sicken a body. He
was killed by molasses barrel fallin'
ON him. When think of him I'm COM
pletely disguised.
"Never marry carpenter. My fourth
husband was carpenter, and fell OIL
scafold and was smashed to jelly.
Nav his soul sleep in peace!
"Never marry a machinist. Myhfth
husband was machinist. III never

board. didn't recognize him. A
belt had come off a pulley and hit him
plum in the face, and spread his nose
all over his countenanoe. l promised
him on his dyin' bed that I'd never
marry another machinist."
Just then the train rolled in, and the
, old lady asked:
"Child, what business is your love.

"Insurance business

of some dear friend, and then she
touched it TO the card. On the fingers

About q KrOnkikol0gy.

You have doubtless heard about 'sthe |
Bosom of destruction" Well, Mr.. Be-
som, of Third Avenue, is not that kind
of man. He wouldn't destroy grass
hopper If he could walk around or climb
over the insect. His object is to slide
through life without hurting any Jones
feelings or stepping on any ones toes.
They got new hired girl at his house
the other day. She had pensiye eyes,
a very quiet way, and seemed quietly
religious. Bosom said she was just the
kind Of girl he liked to see around the
kitchen, and he flattered Mrs. Bosom for
her perception in reading human ma
ture.
The first evening the new girl caught
Bosom in the pantry. He was on tip
toe, and had just reached down bottle
from the top shelf. He started to put
it back, hesitated, and finally said:

bottle. 1t contains fluid known as
kronkikology. have to take a sip now
and then for my liver, but it is death

The girl soon discovered that it was
a bad case of liver complaint. Atleast
Mr.. Bosom entered the pantry regularly
three times per day. and after taking
his kronkikology' he always uttered
hearty GA! um!''
The family didn't hear the breakfast
bell yesterday morning at the usual
time, and after waiting a while Mrs.
Bosom entered the kitchen to see what
had occurred to delay the meal. She
found the pensive hired girl lying on
the floor, no fire in the stove and nc
meal under way.
"Krow-kronki- krow-" muttered
the girl.
"The girl has fit-the hired girl is
dying!n exclaimed Mrs. Bosom as she
rushed through the house.
Bosom ran back to the kitchen with
her, and as he shifted the air in that
room and looked down upon the pen
sive girl he called out;
"She's been drinking gin!''
"Youze liar!" shouted the girl, Sc
curing hold on the stove-leg to helE
, her to her feet. ..s
"Get right out of here, you great
big hired girl drunkard!" cried Mrs
Bosom.
"Yes, and tread up mighty smart!'
added Mr.. Bosom.

What Electricity is Expected to Accom-
plish.

There resides near Mansfield, Ohio,
a Daniel NJ. Cook, says the lndianapo-
lis Journal, who has shown himself to
be a mechanical marvel on more occa-
sions than one, having for a long period
of time devoted himself to the inven-
ton of labor and money-saving devices:
Mr.. Cooks specially is electricity, and
in short time he proposes to demon
strate to the world the fact that cleo
tricity can be generated in quantities
sufficient to take the place of all other
methods of utilizing motive power at
mere nominal cost; and not only that,
but it can be used in lighting cities and
dwellings, and for purposes OF supply
ing heat. He refuses, for obvious
reasons, to divulge the means employed
to generate the electric fluids, but the
batteries and other appliances now in
vogue are not used. s. a--Y
As indicating something of the prin
ciple upon which his invention is to be
operated, Mr.. Cook describes the prop
critics of an ordinary magnet or load
stone. A million knives or pieces of
metal may be charged with the subtle
fluid and the magnet loses none of its
power, but rather increases in force,
and so with his electric generator, it is
inexhaustible so long as the conditions
remain undisturbed. He claims that by
means of his invention cities can pe
brilliantly Illuminated, as though by a
Drummond light, at less than hum
dredth part of the present cost of light
ing by gas. Fuel will be cheapened
proportionately, and steam will go out
of practical use. MIR. Cook estimates
that he can furnish the electricity re-
quired to maintain one thousand tele-
graph stations fifty years for 100000,
and leave handsome margin for profits
out of this sum.
He will be able to supply, not cur-
rents, but floods, oceans of electricity,
and keep it under perfect control, and
regulate the supply at different points
to a nicely. And not only all this, but
he will be enabled to navig space by
means Of machines propelled by the
same force, and he says that he has sent
chunks of iron through the roof of q
building into the air out of sight, and,
in his opinion, clear beyond the inf1u-
ence of gravitation into the ether be
yond. He is not confident of his ability
to control, aerial locomotion, but he
hopes to master this branohof the sub.
ject.

Wiping Out a Bully.

General John Goshwieler, one of the
leading capitalists Of California, and one of
the really good fellows Of that state, tells q
thrilling story;
One day in early time he was standing
in pioneer shanty saloon, in company with
great big fighter who was the terror of
the camp and town.
There was nothing this giant could not
whip, and very little that he had not whip
ped. The big fellow was sitting near the
bar when stranger entered He was not
more than twenty-five, slender built, pale,
with big eyes, delicate features, and a hand
like a girl.
He stepped quientIy up to the bar and
asked for glass of brandy The glass was
placed before him, whereupon the bully
rose from his chair, put his big brawny
hand in front Of the yOungster, took the
brandy and drank it. The young man said
nothing, but quietly laid down four bits ard
said
''Give me another glass of brandy"
The brandy was put out, the glass was
filled and the bully again reached forward,
took the glass and drank it. The young
ster put four hits on the co9ater and said
easily:
Give me two glasses Of brandy"
The two glasses were put out, and filed
and the bully the third time reached for
ward, took glass and drank it. The
young raan paid no attention even, to the
giants pistols and knives, but taking the
other glass drank it and put down a dollar.
Then with and easy manner, be left the
bar for the door, walked five or SIX steps
turned like a fash of lightning and shot
the bully through the heart.
As he walked out Of the door he said to
one of the bystanders:
That fellow might have hurt somebody,
