NM In the market year from now.
True, but probably it will be as difficult
1ieh as now to obtain first class, pure ci-
DER vinegar. The artificial product is so
much more cheaply made that it ensures
greater profit to the dealer and then the
cloef vinegar IS not always, or even gener-
any, hrst class article. The writer once
showed dealer sample of home made cider
vinegar OF clear golden color, full of snap
and sparkle, and he said he would like to
buy hundred barrels of such vinegar: but
IL was not to be had at any price. This was
small lot that made itself, but there should
be no difficulty in making good vinegar

The Life OF a Clam.

The CLAIMS body is completely en-
shrouded in the mantle, except for two
openings, through one of which the
foot can be pushed out. The other is
for the siphon, or what is com monty
known as the meek of the clam.
In some respects the clam may be
better Oft than weare. for he has a
little brain in his foot and also a gland
toc secreting strong tibers. With this he
spins a byssus by which he can attach
himself to whatever he likes. He does
not even have to search for his food, but
waits t0r it to come to him. He makes Il
burrow in the mud on sand, attach NC
himself to the bottom by the byssus. Then
he thrusts his siphonup through the mud
and water until it reaches the surface.
The siphon is made up of two tubes, the
water flowing in through one and out
through the other.
When the int1owing current, laden with
minute plants and animals, reaches the
gill chamber, some of these are sifted ont
and retained for food while the water and
waste matter flow out through the other
tube.
The CLAIMS eggs are carried by the
mother on her gills When there are fish
in the water with them the mother CLANS
discharge the eggs, which soon hatch
but if there are no fish they carry the
eggs until they decay. The reason of
this strange behavior is this: When the
eggs are set free in the water they soon
hatch, and the little ones swim about
until they find some fish to which to at
tach themselves. They live for time on
the mucus of the fish and then drop off,
sink to the bottom, and form burrows for
themselves. This curious semiparastic
life is no doubt reversion to the habit of
some ancient ancestor. From Shells, by
Margaret W. Leighton, in Appletons'
Popular Science Monthly for November

When Pumpkin Pie is Brown.

Now the president has spoken in the
customary way and has named Nov. 26 as
our Thanksgiving day, everybody's feel
ing better, counting on abundant cheer
for there reason for Thanksgiving on the
part of all, this year. Everything is look
ing better; everything is on the mend.
Soon the four long years of worry will
have found a brighter end. Soon the
business skies will brighten with radiant
glorious day, and prosperitys bright sun
shine drive the gloomy clouds away. All
the nation will feel thankful. Smiles will
chase away each frown, when the turkeys
in the oven and the pumpkin pie is brown.
Each Republican is thankful, as Of course
he ought to be, since the campaign of the
party has been waged successfully Dem
ocrats have every reason to be very thank
full, too, since their party has been rescu-
ed from reputation crew. Illinois may
feel quite thankful, since her voters did
their best and put noisy Altgeld where he
will enjoy protracted rest. Maryland may
shout hosanna, Michigan may swell the
song, California and Wisconsin add their
voices deep and strong. All may sing
lond thanksgiving that the clouds are
swept away and the nation fame and hon
or are unsulied still, to-day. Let the
flags float; let the flies shrek "Yankee
boobies come to town." when the tur-
keys in the oven and the pumpkin pie is
brown.
Put away the campaign rooster; give all
quarrels of the past full forgetfulness and
quiet. Let us all be friends at last. Let
the fat and toothsome turkey and the
peaceful pumpkin pie crowd out every
recollection of the turmoil that's gone by.
Let us all be friends and brothers under
one flag, dear to all. Let us settle down
to business, which comes rather late this
fall. Let us cease from campaign tactics.
Let MS stop all calling names. Let all
pummelling and fighting be confined to
football games. Now that Colds no long
Ell boarded. let us try to pay our debts.
Let John Jones and Marcus Hanna arbi-
trate election bets. Let sweet peace, the
white winged, DER the country settle
down, when the turkeys in the oven and
the pumpkin pie is brown. Boston Daily

Laughter a Great Tonic.
Keeps the Spirits Buoyant' the heart and
Face Young.

1T nresnme if we laughed more we
hould all be happier and healthier"
writes Edward w. Box in October Ladies'
Home journal. 'sTrue, we are busy
ard a very practical people. And most
If us probably find more in this life to
bring the frown than the smile. But,
nevertheless, it is pity that we do not
laugh more; that we do not bring our
selves to the laugh if need be. For we all
agree that a good laugh is the best medi-
cine in the world.
"Phvsicians have said that no other
feeling works so much good to the entire
human body as that of merriment. As a
digestive. it is unexcelled; as a means of
expanding the lungs, there is nothing bet
ter 1t keeps the heart and face young.
| is the best of all tonics to the spirits.
1t is, too, the most enjoyable of all sensa-
lions. good laugh makes us better
friends with ourselves and everybody
around us, and puts us into closer touch
with what is best and brightest in our lot
in life.
1T is to be regretted, then, that such a
potent agency for our personal good is
not more often used. 1t costs nothing.
All other medicines are more or less ex-
pensive. Why, said an old doctor not
long ago, 'if-people fully realized what it
meant to themselves to laugh, and laugh
ed as they should, ninety per cent. of the
doctors would have to go out Of business
"Probably when we get a little less busy
we shall laugh more. For, after all, the
difference between gloom and laughter is
but a step. And if more of us simply
took step aside oftener than we do, and
rested more, we would laugh more.
"By laughing l do not mean the silly
giggle INDUCED in by some women and SO
many girls. There is no outward mark
which demonstrates the woman of shall
low mind so Enthusiastically as that of gig
Cling. There is no sense in the giggle :;
no benefit to be derived from it. 1t makes
a TOOL of the person herself, and renders
every one about her uncomfortable. But
just as the gggle is the outcome of a
small mind, the hearty laugh is the rehec-
ton of a healthful nature. What we
want is more good laughers in the world
not more gigglers.N
