How Hotties are Wade.

The manufacture Of glass bottles is very simnle
IN Itself, though for the production of fine work
great skill Is required. The finest bottles now
made are blown, as they We're in the earliest
days of bottle-making. without the use of a
mould. the operation being performed by simply
gathering proper quantity of molten glass
upon the end of a metallic bIow-pipe and form
ing IT into shape by holding it in various posi-
ticns while expandineit bv blowing through the
tube and occasionally applying pressure with
some tool of very simple form. Generally. how
ever, bottles are made with the use of mould
In which glass Is blown. because in this way
time and labor are saved. 1t may be said that
All the Dotties Jars. etc, in common use and
made In the United States are blown in moulds.
occasionally bottles will show by a seam on the
side where theparts of the mould come together.

The mould is usually made of iron.

the smaller bottles boy is REQUIRED TO omen and
shut the mould as required. ''''>'
TOT larger oofties the parts which are hinged

one boy, to gather the molten glass on the
END OF the blow pipe. one TO blow the bottle and
shape 1t to the mould, and a third TO finish fhe
neck and mouth and correct any defects in form.
Aner the mouth Is finished, the bottle is taken
TO the annealing furnace, where it is placed upon
pan. which, with several others attached To-
gether In the form of chain, is drawn SLOWLY

The Vinegar Vice Among New Orleans
COlOred Women.

From the New Orleans Democrat

| is that negro women drink vinegar! " asked 8
gentleman of Times reporter one day last
week.
The scribe professed the profoundest ignor-
ance in regard to the matter. but he immedi-
ateiy set to work to find an answer to the CUES
ton. In the first place he inquired of several
negro women ifthey ever drank vinegar
Yes, said one. II drink it all the time. es-
peclally when Lam ironing. All the women in
our yard drink it too
docs it do you any good 20
"Ies; it's cheaper than whisky and it keeps
up person wonderfully. | don't know WHY
began it-because the others did. I reckon 1t
hurt me at first, made me feel sick at the
stomach, but when got over this feeling felt
smoking pipe and leaves a kind of cooling
feeling behind
How much of it do you take at dose?"
About two tablespoonful. The first dose l
took was about teaspoonsful. but | know some
ladies' Che coored women are generally
alluded to as ladies by their associates). ''whO
take as much as quarter of teacupfu If |
took that much it would make me sick
How did the habit first begin:''
Some OF the ladies' used to take it when
feeling badly. and it did them so much good
that others followed the example The men
folks can't drink vinegar and don't like the
women folks to take it. but they do it though"
The reporter subsequently saw an uptown
lady who is at the head Of a large boarding
mouse. I'D answer to the questions propountled
to her she said: 'Oh, yes, have had number
OF coiored women in my employ who were great
vinegar drinkers. The way l found it all out
was in this way: had washer and ironer who
ate very little. always kept a bottle of vim
egar in my kitchen where could get it easily.
One day went to take it from the shelf and
found that the bottle was nearly empty was
not annoyed at this, although little bit sur
prlsed. but concluded to keep the vinegar under
iock and Key: The next day the servant came
to me and asked me for a little yinapar
asked her what she wanted it for and She an
sWered to drink She then told me that she
always drank it and it did her power of good

greatest whisky drinkers are the greatest vine-
gar drinkers"

HTofn me view 1ork Times.
Dr. Robert Collyer justly passes for sensible
man, out even sensible men are occasionally mis-
taken, and very good grounds could be adduced
Tor believing him to be SO in respect of his COM
iortaoie belief, expressed on Sunday, that ''mur-
der VIII out There could perhaps scarcely be
less appropriate place to advance such
theory than New York, where, VIGOROUSLY
WITHIN twenty years past so many deaths have
occurred at the hands of persons unknown and
where scarcely a month passes without body
bearing traces of violence being brought to the
horsue from the water. as to which nothing
more more Is heard In fact. taking ~ whole of the
United States. it would be safe to assert
that every year hundreds of persons come to
an untimely end whose murderers are never
known. The case of Eugene Aram is in fact.
an example to the very reverse of the doctors
theory; for what made that crime so remarkable
was that, so contrary to the usual course of
events. 1T was discovered so long afterward In
Dr- COilyers native country the police author
tiles would have no difficulty in showing him a
list OF hundreds of notable murders committed
IN the past twenty-five years as TO which noth-
inc IS known. He will doubtless recollect the
murder of Mr.. Griffith. gentleman of fortune
AT brighton; still mystery; the COFam street
murder. the same; the Harley street and Euston
square murder. the same. Again, who knows
who poisoned young Mr. Bravo And toturn to

take one very notable one. The second Earl of
N0rbury was shot in his grounds at Durrow Alb
hey some thirty-fve years ago. and to this
hour not ray of light has been thrown
upon the crime. and we shall be greatly
surprised if anyone should see tine slayers
OF the Earl of Leitrim and Lord Mount
Aorres swing from the gaows. Probably the
author OF the - Fools Errand" could cite some
similar Instances from his Southern experiences.
and the West could certainly contribute a hand

the most famous of our crimes the Burdell and
Nathan. mysteries still and likely to remain so.
albeit we admit that the latter has not vet quite
reached the IA years of Eugene Aram And in
all TINS we have not been regarding the poison
ing cases Who shall say how many they are?
Does DR.. COliyer know who poisoned General
ketchum and the various victims ascribed to
Mrs Wharton in that memorable trial at Annap-
Oils. Dr. Taylor, the most eminent of modern
toXic0iogistS. possibly the most eminent who
ever lived said in evidence in famous case of
TINS Kind In London that very slight knowl-
cage OF toXicOiOgy would suffice to enable peo-
pie to cover their tracks. and in his belief the
crime was far more frequent than was usually
supposed.

by his bringing charge against a divorced wife
OF trying to abduct his child. This has brought

that the divorce was procured in Chicago; that
she dld not defend against it. and that it will be
set aside She then gives an interesting account
OF his career For fifteen years she supported
her family, including her husband who refused
to work. Finally he got situation as clerk
III Welland, but was soon arrested for rObbing
his employer. Then they went back to Chicago
and were supported by an aid society. Bates
next move was to Buffalo, where he opened a
saloon, but failed. She received legacy of
$1,000, which he sunk in another saloon in Chi
cagO. Then he said he had a call to preach, and
expressed the belief that he would soon be earn

Went running thrO' the cold and storm:
He looked as il he never smiled,
As If he never had been warm.
Sudden, he Spied beneath his feet
A faded buttonhOe bouquet:
Tram pied and wet with rain and s!ent
Witnered and worthless, there it lay.
He bounded, seized 1t with delight,
stood still and shook it free from snow:
Into his coat he pinned 1t tight
His eyes lit up with sudden glow
He Sauntered on, all pleased and proud,
Ills race transformed in every line:
And fingered that the hurrying crowd
Might chance to see that he was fine
The man who threw the flowers aWay
Never one-half such pleasure had;
Inc HOWerS' best work was done that day
In cheering up that beggar lad.

Happy in these good homes Of ours
How many in this world are yet
Glad even OF the withered flowers. A. H

how much talent he has for de business" was
