great majority of the merchants who
sell vinegar wish to furnish their customers
an honest article, but they often accept the
trumped-up testimonials of agents eager to
sell, when they should demand reliable
guarantees. AS a rule, the manufacturers
making the poorest vinegar show the most
enterprise in selling it, probably because
the profits are greater than upon good ar

will be no defense for merchant to say
that he is ignorant of its provisions or of
the character of the vinegar sold Every
dealer is supposed to know the law and to
know what he is selling.

an appeal-a notice that violation of the law

much ignorance of the law. and an appeal
to the dealers in vinegar to aid this depart

An important change is the general nd

The Fear Of Thunder.

Edward W. Box. editor 81 the Lu-
dez' lime Jr,trnnt. write. Il. follows
about electric storms and their effect
upon nervous people, declaring that
they are far les: dangerous than the
majority d persons imagine. says Mr.
Box:
That Il severe lightning storm is
terrifying admits ot 10 question, and
viii sometimes bring unea-iness TO the
heart Oi the strongest man. But the
real danger i, slight. The chance Of
Lightning atr.king,a house, for example,
Il not one in Il million. Particularly
/. this true in cities, strung a. most
Of them are with electric wires. The
greater danger from electric storms i.
ia the country, aud even there the
danger may be lessened if the simplest
and most common sense Of precautions
are exercised. The sureat electric
conductor is a drau9ht, and #, when a
thunder storm approaches, 1t IS seen
that all windows and doors liable to
occasion Il draught are kept closed, the
danger Il at once reduced to a mini
mum. If a woman is caught out in a
thunder storm the safest shelter is
house; the most dangerous a tree. par
tlcularly an oak tree. 1t is a peculiar,
but nevertheless a proven fact, that
the oak is the most susceptible Of all
trees to a current Of electricity. Over
fifty per cent. Of trees struck by light
ming storms during one summer, the
government statistlcian tells US, were
oaks, while the beech tree was the
least harmed. Therefore, the worst
possible place Of shelter in an electric
storm is under an oak tree, while by
all odds, the safest place is in house
and out Of a draught. The actual dan
ger 0rGm an electric storm is, in
truth not from the lightning nor the
thunder, but from the nervous cond-
ton into which women allow them
selves to fall. And this is a danger
which they can avoid. A little calm
thought and few grains Of common
sense will do it.

Irish Potatoes.

One Of the most profitable crops,
not usually grown by our farmers, is
late Irish potatoes. Irish potatoes are
never worth less than from forty TO
fifty cents a bushel at maturity, and
from 81 to $3.50 through the winter
and early spring. But few Of our farm
ers have potatoes for table use, to say
nothing Of marketing at this season.
In the Piedmont and mountain coun-
ties there is no reason for calculating
on a yield Of less than 100 bushels to
the acres. Many farmers will make
$50 or more. Omittlng the price Of
seed, the crop may be produced very
nearly as cheaply as corn, and at forty
cents bushel, and hundred bushels
to the acre, the yield will be $40 an
acre. But the alert farmer will not
sell his crop at such price. He can
afford to house his crop and care for
i, until January or February, and then
sell at from 81 to SI.25, or even more
for nicely kept, sound potatoes. Just
here is one Of the leaks that the farmer
should provide against. He can afford
to make the difference between the au-
tumn and the winter price; it amounts
to more than the crop is worth when
dug. Prepare to grow this crop, and
to house and properly care for the
same, and the result is bound TO be
satsfac:ory.-The Bailehn.
