A Gibraltar Legend.

One of the stock of ancient legends
relating to the Rock Of Gibraltar, from
which the passing grifIs were formerly
RECALLED, relates how a young Scotch
subaltern was on guard duty with a
brother officer, when the latter in visit
ing the sentries fell over precipice and
was killed. When the survivor was re-
lieyed from duty. he made the custom
airy written report in tho usual FORM
"Nothins extraordinary. And this
brought the brigade major down upon
him in a rage. "What! When your

$4,000 for the
Property.
Council Think Ii Is Too Much.
Plans Tor Hospital In Hancock Are
Looking Much Better Now
Other News Items.

The property on which is situated the
water works plant OF the village of Han
cock is owned by NJ. NJ. Moralee. When
the village four years ago went onto the
piece and built their cistern and erected
the plant, the property was involved in
the unsettled Moralee and Odds estate,
and there was no one qualified to give
title TO it to a purchaser. Within year
the estate has been settled aand recently
the village sought to negotiate for the
purchase OF the site of their plant and
sufficient land for storing fuel and to al
ford a good lake frontage. At the last
meeting OF the board Mr.. Moralee ap-
peared, according to agreement, to state
his price. 1t was $4,000. This was
considerably more than the members oil
the council thought the property worth.
Ii no nearer agreement can be reached, il
is probable that the matter will go into
court for the action OF jury OF ap
prasers.

unu Crockett Lived.

s. r. Crockett, the Scotch writer, has
been telling how he used to raise the
heat when hard up student in Edin
burch. He lodged with friend over
great coal station, and he used to 60 ont
in the evening and pick up the Goals
which the carts had dropped in the
streets. Sometimes, he says, Il grew
so bold as TO chuck lump Of coal at
driver, who invariably looked for the
biggest lump on his load to hit back
with, which was what wanted. Thus
the exercise warmed me at the time ana
the coal warmed me afterward. And
occasionally we got a large enough stock
to sell to our companions, and buy a
book or two. But wish, here and now,
solemnly to state that l never, never
condescended to lift lump off a cart,
at least hardly-well, unless 1T was

Vinegar by a Quick Process.

Vinegar may be made in very short
time by sort of 1iltering process that
can b. handled by any person OF ordl-
nary ingenuity. A largo barrel has
perforated shelf fitted in few inches
below the top. From the holes fail ends
of pack thread, which are knotted at
the upper end so that they may not be
drawn entirely through. Glass tubes are
fixed in the shelf as air vents. The lower
edge of the barrel is filed with holes
placed about six inches above the bot
tom, and sipbon carries of the liquid
that accumulates below this point. d.
luted alcoholic liquor, slightly sweeten-
ed with honey or with extract or MATT,
is slowly dripped through the holes IN
the shelf and runs through beechwood
shavings that have previously been steep
ed in good vinegar. The liquor, when
should be kept ~ a temperature OF 30 20
SO degrees f., filters down through the
threads and over the shavings to the
bottom of tie barrel, whence it runs
over through the siphon. After awhile
the temperature in the barrel rises to
about 100 degrees T., the chemical ac-
ton going on meanwhile. 1t IS necos-
sary to pour the liquor again and again

From tne standard. Syracuse, N. y.

From the Standard, Syracuse, ". r.
Mrs. Leroy Poole, of 1o7 Gamett Avenue,
Syracuse, is happy woman. Mrs. Poole
was afflicted with leucorrhea and suffered
all the misery so well known TO thousands
Of women, whose personal experience en-
aDles them TO sympathize with her. she
was treated by prominent physician OF
Syracuse for many months, but derived no
benefit from his care, being rather injured
than relieved by what he was able to do Tor
her. So. like so many others who despair
of relief from ordinary sources, she tired
Pink Pills, as a last resort, and was more
than satisfied with the result. She says that
she began 10 feel better after two or three
doses, and after taking box and half OF
these pretty tablets felt herself entirely
cured, and sent the remaining half box to a
friend similarly afflicted, with equally graft
flying results.
Mrs Poole's bright eyes and clear skin
bear testimony TO the truth of her statement
that she is now perfectly well, and that she
has warm place in her heart for the remedy
whereby she regained her strength, no one
can doubt who has been similarly situated.
Miss J. G.. Ramsey, cashier in one Of the
grocery stores Of Andrews Bros, Syracuse,
| bears evidence to the truth Of the familiar
statement that there is great difference in
| people. Miss Ramsey reluctantly admitted
to a reporter that she had taken Pink Pills,
and that they had helped her, but she re-
| fused TO make any statement that might BE-
the means of showing some other sufferer
the road to health, and allowed a dread o.
publicity to restrain her from recommending
this efficient cure. Surely no one who love
his kind should hesitate about passing thu
good word along, so that the experience
one may benefit many.
