SOUR OIL.
Stern Trials in the Household Of one of
Iscarboro's Wealthy Farmers.

One of the prominent farmers of Scar

pairing to go to the store for his weekly
supplies some time ago found that the
kerosene oil can had sprung leak. So
he found it necessary to bring home the
oil in a gallon jug. At the same time he
got gallon of vinegar in jug of the
same size. His good wife very carefully
put the jug containing the oil away in
the store room while the vinegar was
put under the sink in the place where
the oil was usually kept. That evening
as the farmer took the lantern to 90 to
the barn it was found to be empty; so
our friend proceeded to fill it from the
jug under the sink. In doing so he no.
ticed that the wick was short SO he asked
his wife to put in new wick. AS soon
as the new wick was in place she at
tempted to light it but failed. She so
informed the farmer (who by the way is
a very positive man) that it would not
burn.

you wet the wick with oil,''
II haYe dipped it' says she meek

| "If you had dipped it, it would burn"
says he in '.that settles it, tone of
voice. 'Now let me show you how fix

Taking the burner he pulled the wick
up as far as possible and immersed it in
the vinegar, then carefully turned it back
to the proper place. Strange" says he,
as he reached for match, 'sthat wom-
an can never learn to do anything right"
Here he lit the match and applied it to
the wick. There was sputtering, and
all was dark.
''You have put water on that wick"
This the little woman denied.
S'Well," says he, IF there is no water
on the wick it will burn.''
So he struck another match and APP
| piled it, with no better results. At this
moment something caused him to put
his hand to his face. A peculiar odor
attracted his attention. Putting his
hand to his nose he took good smell.
while look of extreme perplexity over
spread his countenance. ''Wife,' says
he, 'that burned oil has souredr'
