When General Miles was seen by re-
porter last night at his quarters on Gov
ernor's island, he was asked whether he
will recommend any changes in the ad-
ministration Of the army. lie replied that
II he so contemplated it would hardly be
proper to discuss them at this time. The
general would make no direct reply to the
question whether he thought the grade OF
lieutenant general might be revived by
congress in his case as in that of General
Schoilcld.
The rank Of lieutenant general expires
with General Schofield's retirement, as it
Is q grade only created by special acts of

HOMEMADE VINEGAR.
Some New suggestions Which May Prove
of Practical Benefit.

Some New suggestions Which May Prove
of Practical Benefit.
The subject of the making of vinegar
at home has been one which has been
discussed at some length, but perhaps
the experience given below may give
some new suggestions to the reader,
writes Jennie Kale in the House
keeper.
The old ways of making this article
which is fit for use on the table, by the
aid of molasses, or sugar and yeast, is
probably well known to all, also the
nbominable way of making it with the
use of acids bought of druggists; but
an entirely, to me, new way, was dis
closed the other day. 1t was to take
a cabbage leaf and soak it in molasses,
lay in the bottom of a keg or crock, or
whatever is desired to use to hold the
vinegar, and then fill up with rain
water and set in warm place till
ready for use.
The same person who told me of this
way also told me of another, which
was not made so clear to me, but may
be familiar to others. 1t was to pour
hot water over grape seeds, and when
the juice was extracted to pour this
into an old vinegar keg and set away
for some time, and the result is said to
be n nice vinegar of a beautiful red
color. My experience tells me that
honey is good foundation for vinegar
If given plenty of time. One thing
learned after long trials, and much
spelling of good vinegar, or what
would have been good vinegar if left
alone, and that is that it will not be
good vinegar till a mother" has
formed, and this forms on the top, like
a blush scum, and when it becomes
thick enough, it will sink to the bot
tom. l, thinking this was mould, re-
moved it with a spoon, and it formed
again and was removed again, and my
vinegar was spoiled.
The quickest vinegar and the best l
ever made was from some over-ripe
fruit. 1t was not in any way rotted, of
course, but it was too ripe to be of any
use to put up. l dropped each piece
into crock and poured warm
soft water over them, till the crock
was well filed. This was set in a
warm place, and in less than week it
had begun to form the mother"
An exchange says that the vinegar
made from the washings of jelly crooks
and dishes and such truck" is more or
less dirt, but 1 think that any house
keeper who has her dishes clean and
clean water in her kettle, can, to ad-
vantage, use this otherwise waste ma
terial, and not have dirty vinegar,

CORN CUTTER.

cred. There are machines that do the
work eXpeditiously by horse power,
but in many cases these are entirely
out of the question and hand-cutter
has to be employed. A good one is
shown in our illustration, taken from
the Ohio Farmer. The edge half of the
blade is corrugated-crimped by being
passed hatwise between two ridged
rollers-and the blade is ground to an
edge from one side only. The result
of this is an edge serrated and toothed
like saw, but the cutting edge of
each tooth is smooth like that of a
knife, and the blade can be sharpened
on a grindstone like any knife. The
advantage of this knife is that it sticks
wherever it touches. and it cuts, too.
1t requires only half as much effort to
cut hill of corn with this cutter as
with the smooth cutters.

lively: My poor wife and tivo little
childrent What will become of them?'
The voice was, she said, so distinctly
that of her husband that she rushed to
the door, and, not finding him there,
searched about over the place for him.
She wrote that she could not reconcile
the occurrence, and that it had added
to her anxiety. She begged her hus-
band to hasten reply that she might
know her fright had been foolish one.
II helped the honest soldier write

tim as though it had been thing of

some PlcKLlNe SUGGESTIONS.
Hints for the Housewife Who is Thinking
of Winter Eating.

of Winter Eating.
This is the season for pickling.
wise housewife suggests that brass,
copper, or bell metal kettles should
never be used for picking. Kettles
lined with porcelain are the best. 1t
is well to use wooden forks and spoons
in handling the pickles. A small lump
of alum added to the vinegar in which
pickles are scalded renders them crisp
and tender, and if covered with cab
bage or grape leaves fresh color will
be impaired. In making pickles secure
good cider vinegar, as manufactured
vinegar cannot be depended upon.
When the pickles are put up hot and
boiling vinegar is used, it should be
remembered that the vinegar must
boil only five or six minutes, as too
much boiling takes away the strength.
Many kinds of pickles will keep best
by being bottled and sealed while hot
and set in a cool place. Small particles
of horse radish and spices, with hand
ful of sugar to each gallon of pickles,
assist in preserving its strength, as
well as greatly improving its flavor.
Ginger is the most wholesome spice in
pickles; cloves are the strongest, then
allspice, cinnamon and mace. Mustard
seed is also pleasant addition to
many kinds of pickles. If pickles are
raised and prepared at home by being
packed in brine as soon as the young
cucumbers are gathered an oalzen cask
should be used, and they should be
kept well covered, with plenty of salt
at the bottom of the cask. In making
brine for pickles it should be sufficiently
strong to bear an egg. A pint of salt
to every gallon of water is the usual
proportion. These general rules will
apply to many different sorts of pickles,
and, if carefully followed, will give
satisfaction.
To bottle green pickles put one hun
dred small fresh cucumbers in salt and
water and let them stand three days.
Boil ten minutes in half gallon OF
good vinegar, add one ounce each OF
mustard seed, juniper berries and
celery seed, dozen green peppers and
two ounces of brown sugar with a
small lump of alum. Pour the vinegar
while hot over the pickles for six
mornings, heating thoroughly each

Soldiers Death.
IAN active fighter through the late
war-a mah who kept well up with
che procession of ragedies-naturally
witnessed and experienced many mel
ancholy happenings. The four years
were to me an unbrolSen chain of in
stances of mans inhumanity to man
and of strange, and, in many cases,
heartrending condolences. Thirty
years of active business life have, of
course, served to blot from my memory
many of these stirring panoramas; but
there is one SO weird and so full of
melancholy interest that it will remain
with me as long as life lasts" So spoke

ION the afternoon before the battle
he received box from home. He had
wife and five children, and each of
them sent some little remembrance.
Among the contents was a neat suit of
clothes. The lieutenant promptly and
joyfully entered his tent and donned
his new suit. When he emerged with

We attempted to ridicule his notion,
but he continued so serious in his be-
lief that we desisted and left him to
figure himself in better humor. His
mind not having changed the next
morning, his company insisted on his
not entering the fight in the face of
his strange conviction. The captain of
his company was absent, however, and
the lieutenant positively refused to
stay out, saying an officer should lead
his men whenever and wherever his
duty called him. At the head of his
company, he plunged that day into
the thickest of the fight. My company
was near his. Almost at the same in
stant each of our bodies caught bull

it was evident the young lieutenant's
