Nothing is now more universally ac-
cepted than the fact that the peach is an
improved variety of the almond. The
almond has a thin shell around the
stone, which splits open and shows the
stone when mature. This outer skin
has simply become feshy in the peach,
so that it is all that gives it its specific
character. 1t seems now clear from in
vestigation in the history of ancient
Babylon that in their gardens, nearly
1000 years ago, the peach was cultivated
then as it now is.
1t must have been many years before
this that the peach was improved from
the almond, and this fact goes to show
the great antiquity of the fruit. Possibly
gardening in some respects, at least so
far as it relates to many of our cultivated
fruits, was as far advanced 5000 or 5000
or perhaps 10000 years back as it is to-
day.
Phonicians, many thousands of years
ago, as is proved by the records, had in
their gardens almonds, apricots, bananas,
citrons, figs, grapes, olives, peaches,
pomegranates; and even sugar cane was
in extensive cultivation. Certainly this
shows how far advanced these nations
were in garden culture many years ago.

Dentists Secrets.

A long chapter of dentists secrets
the secrets revealed to them by custom
ers made unconscious but talkative by
gas-has been revealed by conscience
less tooth puller up in Pittsburg. One
society young lady swore several lines
of blank spaces while tooth was being
drawn. A burglar taken from Jail to
have tooth pulled confessed all the de-
tails of his crime when under the Gin
fuence" and parted with 10 years of
liberty. Occasionally men want to fight
and are very strong; others are jolly and
confidential.
The most interesting story of the series
is this, told by one dentist of another:
II know of young dentist who was
head over heels in love with a pretty
girl, but he could never make any head
way with her. He was bashful. That
was the main trouble. One day she
came to him to have tooth pulled. He
administered gas, and before she revived
she let enough drop to assure my friend
that if he proposed he wouldn't be re-
jected. She is his wife today, and If it
had not been for the gas don't suppose
the wedding would ever have come off"

Musical Tones.

A stringed instrument suspended i'll a
favorable position near pianoforte will
sound when tones corresponding to the
open strings are produced on the piano
forte. The volume of the answering
tone will depend upon atmospheric con-
ditions, the quality and color of the per-
suading tone and the sensitiveness of the
responding material There is famil-
lar anecdote told of famous tenor, who
by singing the tone that was consonant
with that of a wineglass, could make the
glass shiver so violently that it would
fall to pieces. 1t is because of this tonal
sympathy that the cause of harsh, rat
Ting tone that may suddenly appear in a
pianoforte is detected with difficulty.
Though it may appear to be in the in
strument, it is often far away and may
come from loose globe or pendant on a
chandelier. Even key in door has
been known to be the guilty cause.-St.

A FREAK OF NATURE.
1t Is a Calf with Two Heads and Six Feet,
and Allegheny Has 1t.

1t Is Calf with Two Heads and Six Feet,
and Allegheny Has 1t.
Allegheny has monstrosity. 1t Is in
the shape of newly born calf. 1t is a
freak Of nature that the museum man
would be after it this morning if it were
still alive. But the calf is dead. 1t
died shortly after it was born. The calf
had two perfectly well developed heads,
six legs and two tails, and is curiosity
that attracted all Allegheny that knew
about it yesterday afternoon.
The Calls mother was the property of
Herman Jacob, dairyman, residing at
277 Madison avenue, Allegheny. He
was obliged to kill the COW before the
calf was born. After the calf died Mr..
Jacob decided to stuff the hide and keep
it as a curiosity.
So far as the heads and front part of
the monstrosity are concerned, the calf
is shaped and proportional normally,
but at the shoulders the double calf" is
merged into one, with perfectly formed
hind part, with the exception of the two
well formed tails of equal size and pro-
portion. Within the calf there were
found to be two stomachs. one set Of
bowels and one pair of lungs.-Pitts-
burg Dispatch.

PURE CIDER VINEGAR.
Ways of Converting Apple Cider Into First
Glass Vinegar.

Ways of Converting Apple Cider Into First
Glass Vinegar.
By pure cider vinegar is meant just
what the words imply. cider converted
into vinegar without the addition of
water. New York state requires that
vinegar shall test Al per cent of acetic
acid, the acid which gives it its sharp
ness. Other vinegars. such as what are
known as corn vinegar, distillery vine
gar, white wine vinegar, picking vine
gar, etc., may have the requisite amount
of acetic acid to satisfy the law, but pure
cider vinegar contains also malic acid,
the natural acid of the apple, which gives
it quality possessed by no other vine
gar.
To make good quality of vinegar the
first requisite is first class quality of
cider. One good method suggested by
The Rural New Yorker is as follows:
To begin with, the casks should be thor
oughly cleaned and scalded. Afterward
boiling vinegar is poured into them, and
they are rolled around occasionally for a
few days to give the vinegar an oppor-
tunity to strike into the wood. Then
the barrels or casks are filled about one
third full of strong, pure cider vinegar.
To this couple of gallons of cider are
added, and this is repeated at intervals
of, say, a week or 10 days until the cask
is two-thirds full, when the whole is left
for couple of weeks, at which time the
contents should be good vinegar. One
half of it is drawn off and the process
repeated with the remainder. In the
summer it is better kept in the sun, but
the casks should have the bung holes,
which are not stopped, kept covered
with cloth to keep out insects. In win
ter the cider should be kept at a temper
allure of about 80 degrees Fahrenheit to
be converted into vinegar
Another method of making vinegar is
to have series of casks so arranged that
the cider will trickle slowly from one to
the other, thus exposing it to the air.
The addition of a little vinegar as a
starter would hasten the process. The
important points are sufficient degree
of heat and exposure to the air. 1t is
not necessary to filter the cider, but it
should be well racked off or strained, so
as to free it from all pomace and sedi-
mont

A Cattle Feed Rotation.

We rotate with rye for spring feeding
and corn for fall feeding. We usually
begin to use the corn in August, and as
soon as we clear strip we SOW rye di-
rectly on the stubble and harrow it in
with a single Planet cultivator, follow
ing with heavy but well spread coat of
coarse horse manure, and SO continue
till the whole plot is cleaned and seeded.
In the spring when the rye is fed off
USUALLY by the 1st of June), we manure,
plow and thoroughly cultivate the
ground and drill the corn with grain
drill 80 inches apart, but pretty thick in
the rows. This never fails to make a
heavy growth, and though thick makes
quite good sized nubbins, often 9 OF 8
inches long.
Rye seems to do best on surface Guilt
waited soil. The heaviest crop we ever
raised (35 bushels per acre on five acres),
was on pretty rough hillside of corn
stubble, cultivated two ways with two
horse, spring tooth, wheel harrow and
drilled in with commercial fertilizers.
In the spring the ground was rolled
smooth and gave us no trouble at cut
ting.-W. T. s., Pa. in Rural New

While in London NJ. lola was inter
viewed by the correspondent of the Co
logne Gazette on the relations between
France and Germany. M. lola said:
Though l am not exactly politician
l can assure you of one thing, and that
is that no one in France desires war.
In no circumstances shall we take the
offensive, but if we are attacked, well
and good. do not wish to deny the ex-
istence of the idea of revenge, but there
is great difference between cherishing
an idea and putting it into practice.
You cannot give me the name of a
French statesman of the present day
who is eager for war. We have no mil
itary party and no general who can
claim the right to cover himself with the
laurels of war We have become more
democratic, broader and more peaceable
in our views. The condition, however,
in which France lives is, confess, any
thing but an ideal one"

Burning Soil.

A special in the New York World
from Fort Dodge, Ia, says: Several hun
bred acres in Humboldt county. which
this summer raised the biggest hay crop
in Iowa, are burning away to ashes,
the soil itself being consumed by fire to
a depth of 10 feet. Two years ago the
land was several feet under water ard
was known as Owl lake. Itwas drained
by big ditch and dried up. leaving a
very rich soil. A few days ago, when
prairie fire swept over it, the soil itself
took fire, burning like turf. The fire
eats down to hard clay that will be of
no use for farming purposes. Any num-
Der of interesting fossil remains are ex-
posed to view where the fire has burned
