Vinegar-Making.


New England Farmer.
Understanding is very simple process. AL
most any sweet liquid if left exposed to the
action of the atmosphere for few weeks, will
change to acetic acid. An old recine is as fol-
lows: Expose a mixture of one part of brown
sugar by weight with seven parts of water
and some yeast. in a cask whose bung-
hole is only slightly covered over, as by a
piece of gauze pasted down to keep out insects
for some weeks to the action of the atmosphere
and sun. The addition of few grape vine
leaves will hasten fermentation and Improve the
quality of the vinegar" Vinegar makes much
faster in summer than in winter unless kept in
a heated room.
Anonother method is to use potato water
Take a quantity of potatoes, wash them till
thoroughly clean, then place in a large kettle
and boil till done. Drain off the water carefully,
strainng il necessary in order to remove every
particle OF the potato. Put this clean potato
water in a clean cask. which should be kept in
warm place, and add one pound of sugar TO each
ten quarts Of water. and some hop yeast and
small portion of whisky. In three or four
weeks an excellent quality of vinegar may be
expected. If potatoes are scarce the water
from each days boiling for table use may be
saved.
Another recipe which was tested in the editors
family last winter and found good, is to take
lone quart of common field corn. picked over and
washed clean, then put up in pan or pail and
cover with warm water Let it stand on the
back of a warm stove all night. In the morn
ing when the stove is hot set the dish
with the corn over the fire and let
it hoil several times, at least till the
grains burst open. keeping the corn constantly
COY erel with water. Then strain off the water
ana ad to it till you have three gallons To
each gsllon add three-quarters of a pound OF
brown sugar. II you have little mother"
that has formed on other vinegar add a little of
that and set in a warm place in open vessels or
casks with the bungs out. In few weeks you
will have good vinegar at low cost.

disbursements that are being made foreshadowing
more abundant supply of loanable funds. The mer
chandse markets have undergone scarcely any change
since our last issue Dry goods have been moderately
active and steady and staple groceries have continued
to move rather slowly The demand for refined sugar
is not brisk it might be- the easier tendency of
values inducing buyers TO cover only their current re-
quirements. Granulated sugar two years ago sold a
quarter of cent lower than now, but that was the
lowest price ever known, and the whole sugar indus

"Any news?" was asked Of leading

"Yes; I'll tell you something. There
are some pa. lies at work raising fund
to have the legislature appoint drug in
spector, pay him good salary, so that
he will not have to steal, and select a
competent man aud turn him loose on
the druggists of first-class cities"
''What would he do?'
'Why, make the fur fly. You wouldn't
see half the drug stores you do now.
The drugs of some of the stores are no
good. They sell baking powder for
quinine and ground-up bed-bugs for
cantharides. Oh, its awful Especially
is this the case with small, out-of- the-way
stores, or where the prescription is moth
ing very important. They just slash IN
few herbs and such, catnip or mullen
leaves, add little cheap strip, shake it
up in bottle, and say, with the wisest

I never saw more beautiful, cosy, =
every way delightful plsce than the
sleeping-room Of this young princes q
fashion. this eldest child Of q many-mE
lionaire. The wall paper was pale gold
on faint slate color. The gilt bedstsad
was pushed against square At pleated

bows at the corner. Just such another
square of pleated silk rose to tho ceiling

above the floor in one corner for tne
young woman to eco her whole atore N.
She had also q folding glass to refdees
her ears. back hair and neck.
There was an open fireplace besides
the hot-air register; dressing Stand
laden with pretty toilet boxes and bottles;
an ivory clock like bird cage, in which
ivory canaries trilled sweetly a. each hour

pretty little prie-dieu for the young wo-
man to say her prayers upon as fashion

that was exquisite, dainty and inviting

I did not see it.
It was while I was in her sleeping

shoes in sight, no article of clothing ly-

sort-everything, in short, as neatly or
dered as if were critic invited to call
and see the perfection of home discipline.
I confess that a tiny pair of kid slippers

interesting by connecting the maiden
