Why Vinegar Is Sharp.

The question has been propounded, What makes vinegar sharpP Now, if it had been asked, Why is vinegar not sharpf the answer would be, The want of pure apple or grape juice. George Adams in 1747 said that some people have imagined that the sharpness of vinegar is occasioned by the little eels which inhabit it striking their tails against the tongue and palate. But tho Scieratifc Anaerica', says that it is very certain that the very sourest vine- gar has none of the little eels so com mon in vinegar of 8 lower grade, and that it's pungency is entirely due to the pointed figure of salts which floats therein.

possesses . peculiar Individuality of theme. Her talent is not confined ex- clusively to tho sentimental. but added to it is versatility which finds vent in the higher order of song and dance music. Lizzie Paine Milbank, who is now the wife of the well-known Boston theatrical manager, George Milbank, and a daughter of the late Seth Paine, Chi cagos pioneer journalist and philanthro- pist, developed musical ability at an early ago. Her remarkable "ear' for catching and memorizing difficult melo- dies, which she couli reproduce after at will, in later years attracted the at- ttenion of the late Caroline Richings- Bernard, whose protege she became. Since then she has appeared with many dramatic and musical organizations in this country and Europe.
 Lizzie Paine -Milbank Is Brooklyn's pride in her peculiar line, she having written more songs which have appealed to the popular heart than all her col leagues combined, the best of which is that touching apotheosis to maternal love, "The Songs My Mother Sung"
 In all England there is but one woman whose name is inscribed high on the page of fame as an exclusively senti- mental writer of rare talents-Hope Temple. Her writings have gained such an extensive circulation in this country that she is popularly but erroneously supposed to be an American. But though her nationality is not, her works arc truly 50. She is at once an author. composer, and public singer, and many of her writings have been translated into foreign languages. Miss Temple is tho authoress of numerous works. all of which have found their way to this country, and owing to the international copyright complications now existing, many of her compositions are repro duced by music publishers on this side of tho water.

"But Jonah wouldn't have 1t, and he and Billings were m trouble from that day forth. Jonah kept kicking about the water in the tank.

"Billings looked at him. and thought of what he had been through, and he said to himself, this is the man to live through the rest of the season if any body can. In short, he engaged him. They went out on tho road, but some- how the play didn't make a hit. Monty was . good Jonah to look at, and tho audience must have wondered why the ship didn't sink as soon as he stepped on to tho gang plank.

 all fixed he stuck bis head out and took sight. but right under the lee of the whale was row of dinner pails left there by the train hands.
 What was the mama in the wilder ness to this. said Jonah, as he pulled dinner-pail inside the whale. It was nearly two days since he had tasted food, and one dinner was only an appetizer. So he reached out for another pail. This was how It happened that the train hands, when they came to dinner, found nothing but row of empty pails. Jonah, safe and satiated, heard some language which did not encourage him to como out. Oh, no; he stayed right there. and landed in New York safe and sound.
 Well. tho whale was finally hauled to the dime museum and dumped into the tank, and by and by Jonah heard them letting the water in. Then the dime museum lecturer began to tell the audi ence how the whale had been captured near the place where the latest investi- gations indicated that the Jonah inci dent had occurred. He said that tho marks on the whales teeth showed that his age was about right to fit the story.
 "'How wonderful 1t would be- he continued, if this should be the same whale, and if within his interior he should still contain relics of the illustri- ous dead-things out of his pocket or his hat. perhaps, or pint duskr

 The woman song-writer of to-day is not woman. She is a mere girl in years. learning and experience. She is not ultra proficient in her art, if art 1t may be termed, either as rhymster or . musician. Her ideas are neither orig inal nor unique; her verse is often of maudlin sentimental calibre or garbled transcriptions of nursery rhymes, yet her melody is usually catchy, simple and symphonic, possessing 6 peculiar charm to the uncultured ear, which, when combined, is at once pleasant and effective. With all her lack of qualifi- cation as criterion of literary and mus ical excellence. she may be justly said to be a success. And yet there are but few of these in this broad country, aud tho great Kingdom of Great Britain boasts of but single one of promi- hence.

JONAH s GREAT PERIL,

of him just because Billings was too mean to heat the blamed old tank.
 But Billings couldn't see 1t. He was down on Jonah, and used to make him rehearse with the sailors every morning. He said that they must learn to make more splash with him, so for three hours day they tried him feet first, head first, and every other way. Then he experimented with the whale.
 "I want to improve his internal ma chinery,' said B filings, so that he'll look sicker whom the cue comes for Jonah to land. The audience sometimes haven't paid much attention to tho play, and out hero in the west they re little weak on Scripture, so that when tho whale be- gins to cut up they are naturally curious to know what he's been eating that should make him feel that way. Then when they see Jonah they say, "this ain't realism; that whale ought to have been darned sight sicker." We must try to bring this thing up to an artistic standard
 "One day out in Cheyenne; when the receipts weren't big enough to pay the whales board, Billings got desperate. He told Jonah that the play was too sombre in its tone-needed something to llven it up-and he suggested that they should introduce dead calm after the storm scene and let Jonah come out upon the roof of the whale and do 8 song and dance. They tried this trick for one night, but it didn't work, and at the next town tho Sheriff levied on tho company's effects. He put on his attachment right in the middle of the storm. just after the whalc had closed his little arrangement with Jonah.
 "Old Monty heard what was going on, and he just lay still and said nothing. He knew that Billings would skip out and leave the company to find its way back to New York along the track. The ghost hadn't walked for two or three weeks and Jonah was broke, so it occur rod to him that he would wait till he found out which way they were going to ship that whale before he made his presence known. It turned out just right for Monty. The whale was sold at auction next day to the representa- tive of a metropolitan museum, and Monty and the whale were put aboard a freight car, tagged for the Bowery.
 "'The prophecy of the Scripture is fulfilled. said Monty, and the whale takes Jonah back to dry land az ain.' About the morning of the second day out. however. Jonah got hungry. He tried to make an exit through the whales mouth, lut the Sheriff had nail cd 1t up. Then he took his jack-knlfe and cut hole in the whales side big enough to get his head and one hand out. and he fixed it SO that he could tack up the Hap of the whales hide when anybody was looking.
