VINEaAR.-A French method for con.
verting cider into vinegar is as follows
scald three barrels or casks with hot water,
rinse thoroughly and empty. Then scald
with vinegar, rolling the barrels and allow
ing them to stand on their sides two or
three days, until they become thoroughly
saturated with the vinegar. The barrels
are then filled about one third with strong,
pure cider vinegar and TIVE gallons of cider
acid added. Every eighth day thereafter,
two gallons of cider are added until the
barrels are two-thirds full. The whole is
allowed to stand fourteen days longer, when
it will be found to be good vinegar, and
one. half of it may be drawn and the process
Of filling up with cider be begun again. In
summer the barrels are allowed to stand in
the sun, and in winter kept where the tenn
.perature is eighty degrees.

Kiowa Surgery.

It is the habit of the coroner's dapu
ties, while conducting autopsies, to de-
scribe for the benefit of those around,
the various functions of the organs ex-
amined in determining the cause
of death. When the operation is over,
the various cuts are sewed together, and
the body is left looking as if it had
never been mutilated. While an assist
ant was sewing the parts of the scalp OF
man at the morgue the other day, q
spectator said:
seThat reminds me of a cut | saw on
the head of Kiowa down in the Wich-
ita mountains, in the Indian Territory.
There was fight, and the Kiowa got a
slash more than five inches long right
over the top of his head and clear into
the skull. His friends laid him out on his
back and proceeded to shave the hair all
away on each side of the wound,
except single row of hairs right along
the edges. When they'd got that done
they took those hairs, one on each side
of the cut at time, and tied them to-
gether, drawing the lips of the CUT tight
together Then they gathered hand
full of weeds and chewcd them into pulp
and put it over the cut and tied it on
with a red cotton handkerchief. 1t
wasn't ten days before the Indian was
as well as ever.--Neso York Syn.

Luck in Seal Hunting.

Seal hunting around the island of
Newfoundland is proverbially a lottery.
Steamers are fitted for the voyage at
great expense, Carrying crews of 200 Or
more men. If successful strike is made
no venture in the world is more "protita4
BILE. But there. are always asss-.m2Hy
blanks: as prizes, ,drawn-this year more
of the former than the latter. The steamer
Resolute brought in this spring Ia two
trips over AZ, 900 seals, which at $3.50
per seal makesthe.EOyage worth $685.
900, both trips being made inside of six
weeks. The total number of seals brought
in varies from 537,09 in 1871, to 200,
500 in 1882. This year it is feared the
take will not much exceed that of 1882.
The captains who have returned all agree
that there is no lack of seals, but owing
to the closely packed ice they were una
BILE to reach them. One immense patch
of seals was seen by several vessels, but
only one had been able to approach
them. There are cases on record
where vessels have got in close
to the seals, and the fortune which
seemed to be within their grasp has been
denied them. One instance is given this
year, that of the Neptune, This vessel
fell in with huge herd Of seals, which
were living thick off-the ice as far as the
eye could reach-30 900 at least being
in sight The crew bounded onthe ice,
formed semi circle with a distance OF
five miles between the extremities, and
advanced to the attack. In all hour
they had killed 5000, when fierce
snow-storm set in; the ice began to open
in all directions; the men lost sight OF
the ship, many of them found themselves
on floating pans of ice in immense lakes
of water. At times, owing to the storm
it was impossible to see twice the length
of the ship. The men were scattered
over an area of five square miles, and in
great peril The seals had to be aban-
doned, and all efforts directed to picking
up the men. So skilfully was this &C
complished that before night closed in
every man was safe on board; next
morning the seals were gone. Had the
day continued fine the Neptune would
have had from 10000 to $4,000 on
board or ''panned," Such are the for
tunes of war in seal hunting. Boston

thereof, one or two hens flew up to the
top of the shed, and proceeded to de-
YOUR the pills. They cackled and clucked
little after satisfying Their appetitcs,
and more hens came. Then more hens
cacklcd. Then there were still more
hens, and less pills. The increased
volume of the cackling indu!ged by the
hen convention finally attracted Mrs.
Jones' attention again, and she went
forth to learn the cause. She didn't
learn it just then, for the entire cause
was concealed within the hens. Not 8
pill was to be seen. Two or three hens
lay on the ground writhing from the ef-
fects of blue mass. The unfortunate
rooster sat grimly in fence corner un-
der dose of podophyllin.
Two hundred and thirty seven pills
were found in the craw of one of the
chickens which were killed for dinner
that day. Nobody could explain how
they got there till the doctor came home.
He examined the she'd, and the pills
taken from the slain chickens craw, and
said one or two little words. The fam
lily dined that day on eggs bought at the
grocery storc.-PhHadelphaa Times.
