THE HOUSEHOLD.

tools are fitted up by grinding. The
sharp grit OF the grindstone, being
harder than the iron and steel, cut,
he metal, and the revolving disc car
ries away all the minute particles that
arc detached by the grit. If we we've
to examine the surface of the tool that
has just been removed from the grind
stone under the lens Of q powerful mi
crosCope, 1t would appear, rs it were,
like the rough surface Of field which
has recently been scaritled with some
implement which formed alternate
ridges and burrows. Hence, as these
ridges and burrows run together from
both sides Of the cutting edge the new
" ground edge seems to BIZ formed of
Il system Of minute reth rather than
consist Of 4 smooth edge. For this rca-
son tool Ia first ground on a coarse
stone, so us to wear the surface of the
steel away rapidly; then 1t Is polished
on wheel Of much finer grit; and
tlnally, in order to reduce the scrraturc
rs much as possible, a milestone Of the
fnest grit must DO employed. This
gives cutting edge having tho small
est possible scIrallon. A razor, for
example does not have a perfect cut
| ting edge, az one may perceive by
viewing through microscope. Be-
! 2inncrs arc sometimes Instructed, when
grinding edge tools, to have the stone
| revolvc toward the cutting. edge, and
sometimes from It. When the first
grinding is being done, It IL a matter
OF indifference whether this Is done or
not; but when tho finishing touches
are applied near and at the very edge
grinder can always complete his task
with more accuracy If tho periphery
Of the grind-Stone revolvcs toward the
cutting edge, as the steel that is worn
away will be removed moro easily,
whereas, when stone runs In the OPP
posltc direction, the grinder cannot
| always tell exactly when tho side OF
! the tool is fully ground up to the edge.
| This moro especially truo when the
| steel has rather low CT soft temper.
The stone, when running from the
edge, Will not sweep away every par
ticie OF tho metal that hangs rs Il
"feather," but when The stone rcv0lvcs
| toward the edge, there will be no
'fcathcr edge" to deceive the eye OF
| tho grinder.
IN making vinegar from cider, If the
cider Is weak strengthen with molas-
| >ca; IL too strong, reduce With raii,-
water; then set the barrels in Il warm
| place, leave the bungs ont, and cover
The hole with gauzs to keep out tics,
and let It alone. TO hasten tic change,
| mother OF vinegar from some old vim
cgar may DO put into into each barrel.
or even few quarts OF good vinegar
~ addition would help considerably.
when the vinegar Is made, it should be
carefully drawn off from the drcSs, in
order to have it clear and fit for use.
