TEST FOR VINEGAR-We have frequently
been asked for some simple and practical
method of testing the purity and strength
of vinegar. Of course, to ascertain just
what and how much adulteration is in vim
egar, a chemical analysis is necessary, but
for obvious reasons this is not obtainable by
retailers generally. The most common
adulterant, however, is acid, which is
added to increase the strength, and to de-
tect this the pickle manufacturers have a
simple test that is infallible, and shows the
slightest trace of that article. Each pickle
manufacturer keeps small vial of the
solution of muriate of barytes, obtainable for
few cents at any drug store. When a
sample of vinegar is offered he turns out q
wine glass about half full and adds about
ten or twelve drops of the muriate of barry
tes. If the vinegar is pure it will show no
change. If it contains acids it will gradu-
ally turn to a milky hue, according to the
quantity of acids in it..

It is a good plan to keep box of plaster
of Paris in the house. Be sure and set it
where no water can be split upon it. If
the burner of lamp becomes loosened,
mix up little with water and put it
around the glass top of the lamp, then put
the brass on. The whole operation should
be performed as quickly as possible, for the
plaster hardens or sets almost instantly.
A board or some dish you will not need to
use again, will be the best thing to mix the
plaster on, as it is almost impossible to re-
move it after it sets. Where there are
cracks or large, unsightly nail-holes in
plastered wall, plaster of Paris may be used
to fill them up.

Gail Hamilton appears to consider Mrs.
Hayes's plainness of attire hardly encoura-
ging to the dress reformers. She says in
the Christian Union: "There is not a woman
from Mount Desert to Vancouver's Island
who would not be willing to economize any
day in a camels hair shawl, costing three
or four times its weight in gold. Mrs.
Hayes wears her hair plainly on the face
and over the ears and fastened in knot
with a comb, not, venture to assert, from
any l am holier than thou uppishness,
but because she knows she has a face fine
enough to stand it. She assumes black
silk as innocently as the milkmaid dreamed
of green, because that suits her complexion
best, and because nothing is so dignified
and distinguished; and the attempt to
throw q wet blanket over woman's divine,
artistic instinct Of adornment by calling
it Mrs. Hayes camel's hair shawl, only
adds another to the myriads of futile efforts
which man has already made to gather
thorns of grapes and thistles of figs?'

Wednesday Afternoon, May 9.

Henry Clay one day in debate took occa-
sion to rebuke the Democrats for not COM
ing out and defining their position. "Let
us hear from you," he said in his clarion
tones. II call for the leaders of the
party" Mr.. Buchanan at once rose and
declared that he was prompt in expressing
his opinions on questions before the Sen
ate, but that he chose to take his own time
for speaking. "Mr. President" replied
Mr.. Clay, in a provokingly cool manner,
"the Senator from Pennsylvania labors
under a mistake, for he was not alluded to.
Far from it Mr. President; called for the
leaders of the party" Mr.. Buchanan was
very angry, and appealed to the Senate
whether the Senator from Kentucky had
not fixed his eyes upon him and addressed
his remarks to him? "Perhaps, Mr.. Presi-
dent" remarked Mr.. Clay, II can explain
how the Senator from Pennsylvania fell into
this error. l often suppose he is looking
at me when he is really looking the other
way" A roar of laughter greeted this
allusion to Buchanan's obliquity of vision.
