Ilnts About Vino gar.

The following is CLEANED from mo
New England Homestead;
Vinegar Will clear itself by working
Like humanity, exercise is necessary to
health, and impurities are thrown off
from vinegar by the process Of fermen-
tati.n. For cider vinegar add new or
one year old cider occasionally. Fer
other vinegar add sweetened water The
felt strainer is just the thing to take
out all floating impurities from any
liquid. Maple sugar makers use it to
cleanse maple strip, leaving it very clear,
and no settings will deposit after its
use. | use felt strainer constantly to
strain vinegar for shipment. Feeding
vinegar is essential to its life and vigor.
After racking off a lot of vinegar two
or three years since l had large tank
full of thick settlings-rcgular mud.
This seemed good only to throw away,
but after standing several months 1t
worked itself clear, and about half of it
was splendid vinegar. The mixture of
the dregs OF many casks made the work
ing capital. To make good cider vinegar
use good stock from ripe apples, feed
occasionally or often with same or new
er cider and finish with felt straincr to
remove all floating impurities.

In Memory of Miss Alma PasIay.
"Ail human things are subject to decay.
 And when Fate summons, monsrcbs must

"All human things are subject to decay. | And when Fate summons, monsrcbs must obey"
 Twas on the morning of August 26th
 that we all realized the sentiment Of this
 poem. when one of our sweetest truest
 and noblest young ladies was summoned
 to lay down the burden of this life and
 enter the realm of eternal bliss above. | In her death we have all suffered loss. | Whose church has she not filled with the sweet influence of her beautiful life :? | Whose home has she not gladdened with sunny smile? Whose sick has she not at tended with untiring care An. whose eyes are not fearful. whose heart not sad? She has welcomed the stranger to her town, her church. her home. with happy smiles. She has never failed to make those in her presence feel pleasant. Rare and happy talent thls. that only few possess.
 In her long and severe illness was dis played the true moral courage that is the outgrowth of pure christian life. for. al- though she was ill four months, and at times suffered intense agony, never a mur- mur escaped her lips. She has entered into the long rest and incomparable splendor of the heavenly in- heritance, where the saints shall shine as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. Abundant recompense for witnessings and warnings of this life.
 Thus has another bright and happy home been robbed of it's jewel; another family circle broken; another bright and shining light gone from this world: another spirit waited to the realms of light. Miss Paslay was a sweet, gentle. loving and obedient daughter. and whileifond pa- rents and devoted brothers and sisters will miss her here, we would point them to that God who doeth all tbings well. re- minding them that there is never a life without it's clouds.
 There's never life SO happy, but has had
 its time of tears :
 There's never a cup SO pleasant, but has bitter There's never path so rugged. that bears not the print of feet"
 WHEREAS. we. the Baptist Sunday School, are assembled to pay tribute to the memory of Miss Alma Paslay, who filled with trne fidelity a place among us. and will be missed permanently from our midst. be it
 RESOLVED. That we are greved that one of our band. young lady of so much promise, should be taken in the bloom of life
 RESOLVED. That we tenderly cherish her memory as one who was ever found at her post of duty.
 RESOLVED. That we as a body extend to the devoted family our sincere sympathy in their great ffiiction. ANNIE PEARSON, J. NJ. PREwETT. CLARA WEBB. Committee.
