vinegar BY a OuIok Process.

Vinegar may be made in very short
time by sort Of flltering process that
can be handled by any person Of ordi-
nary ingenuity. A large barrel has
perforated shelf fitted in few inches
below the top. From the holes fall ends
of pack thread, which are kDotted 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 filled with holes
placed about six inches above the bot.
tom, and a siphon carries off the liquid
that accumulates below this point. Di-
lIted alcoholic liquor, slightly sweeten-
ed with honey or wich extract Of malt,
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, which
should be kept at a temperature Of 70 TO
SO degrees F., filters down through the
threads and over the shavings to the
bottom Of the barrel, whence it runs
over through the siphon. After awhile
the temperature in the barrel rises Ia

Sam Tetiow, who Scattered Wealth with
Lavish Hand, Reduced TO Husits at Last.
Sam Tetlow, once popular and pros
porous theatrical manager who spent
money with prodigal hand and counted
his friends by hundreds, is In n San Fran
cisco almshouse.
Tetlow went to California In the early
fifties. He was a young mechanic, and
his skill brought him profit and proper
consideration in the mines. After work
ing few months at his trade he became
q prospeotor, and ne such he laid the foun-
datiun for the fortunes he acquired and
lost in his career as theatrical manager.
1t was not long, however before the gam
bling tables had more attraction for him
than labor with pick and cradle. In few
months he became notorious as one of the
most reckless Of the plungers at any of the
numerous games Of chance then operating
in this city Luck seemed to be always
with him, and he amassed q considerable
fortune.
About that time the pioneers began to
appreciate the fact that they lacked the
ater Tetlow saw his chance, and the
Bella Union was built at his suggestion.
He became the manager, and for years 1t
prospered beyond the dreams of aVarice.
During the zenith of his prosperity Tet-
low became the owner OF the property now
known as Sutro Heights. A man named
Merchant owned the property. II COM
prised about 40 acres, with little hut on
1t overlooking the sea. Tetlow saw the
shanty on the grand bluff, and he wanted
it. He quietly purchased the plnce, and
there he lived. He made some improve
ments to the house, laid out garden and
enjoyed his purchase.
He owned team that no one could pass
on the smooth road out to tho cliff, and no
Welsh baron could have extended more
generous hospitality than he bestowed
from his house overlooking the sea. Sam
Tetlow of the Heights was a dashing fellow
at that time even If he had reached mid
die age. He was the most lordly "high
roller" among all the "hiRh rollers" of
California. In every country town he
visited every man was his guest rs long as
he staid. At Los Angeles, where he stop.

lima island, for improving which he and
James Lick had q plan, four horse coach

ready for his whim. To Antioch he once
went on business trip. The next timo
he visited the town tho local band played

the bars that all might drink at his ex-
pense, and he never took any change. He
was the prince prodigal wherever he

house on the Heights. The place lost its
charm to the owner. He sold it to Adolph
Sutro, now the mayor Of San Francisco.
Shortly after that deal Tetlow quarreled
with his partner, William Skeantlebury.
The quarrel lasted nearly a week, both
men growing more bitter toward each
other every day. Finally they met in the
bar of the theater. Some bad words pass
ed. Skeantlebury struck Tetlow. There
was a scufllo, "a pistol shot, and Tetlow
stood, with revolver in his hand, mur-
derer.
That was about 16 years ago. There
was long trial, and Tetlow was sentenced
to be hanged. His wife was energetic in
his behalf, and the day of execution was
postponed two or three times. After
months had passed, a new trial was grant
ed, and the jury brought in verdict ac.
quitting him of the crime on the ground
of self defense,
When Tetlow stepped from the jail, he
was poor man. His fortune had been
spent in his defense. The theater had
passed into other hands. To add to his
misfortune his wife, who had been his
adviser, and who really managed his busi-
ness ventures, died.
This made a great change in his affairs.
He rode in no more four-in- hands. No
brass bands blared when he approached.
He was lucky If he had an umbrella when
it rained In the daytime he peddled lot
terry tickets to men who used to approach
him with syoophantic servility, and at
dusk he marched slowly and wearily to a
little room in the top floor of sinister old
building near the custom house, where he
was greeted by two little grandchildren,
who prattled sunshine into his darkeDed
life. Finally even that poor shelter was
lost to him, and, broken in health, he was
obliged to apply to the county hospital.

SMUT IN WHEAT.
Prevented by the Questioning Remedies
and the Hot water Treatment.

Prevented by the Blusstoning Remedies
and the Hot water Treatment.
The Questioning remedies and the hot
water treatment contain the essential
principles used by all those who have
succe, fully treated wheat for smut. So,
as learned at the Minnesota station, no
one questions the effectiveness Of the
remedies or the profit Of treating seed
wheat. The bluostone sprinkling meth
Cd is the handiest and cheapest Of all,
and is nearly as good as any. The blue
stone dipping method is an old and
tried remedy, kills the smut and is only
slightly more expensive than the sprin-
king method BluestOne Las slightly
injurious effect in retardimg the germi-
nation of the grain, and the dipping
method, as ordinarily carried out by
farmers has a worse effect than the
sprinkling method. The hot water treat
ment is the best in effect on the quality
Of the seeds and crop, and it destroys
the smut, but under ordinary farm CON
ditions it is somewhat difficult to carry
out, as the wheat must be carefully
dried, rather difficult task in our cold
spring weather.
The bluesIOning sprinkling method
is the simplest and cheapest remedy,
and is recommended in the bulletin un-
der consideration. Here is the formula a:
Dissolve a pound Of bluestoDe Copper
sulphate) in 8 gallons of water. Spread
out 10 bushels Of wheat on tight floor
IN barn or house or in {. ght wagon
box and sprinkle on the solution. With
scoop shovel turn the grain several
times during the sprinkling till every
kernel Is thoroughly wetted. In case Of
badly infested seed wheat it should be
first thoroughly cleaned, using a strong
blast to remove all grains Of bunt and
the gallons Of the solution should be
applied to only bushels Of wheat in
stead Of 10. In three hours the wheat
will be ready for the seeder, and as the
bluestOne somewhat Injuries the seed, it
should not be prepared long before it is
sown. a good plan is to prepare in the
evening the seed to be used the next
day.
As the seed is somewhat swollen few
quarts more per acre should be sOwn
than Of dry wheat. The bluestone So
luton can be made by the barrel, using
care to get the right proportions Of blue
stone and water, and then it can be
measured ont one ten quart pailful to
seven or eight bushels Of wheat. The
wheat should be turned four or five
times within an hour after sprinkling
The hot water treatment and the blue
stone dipping method are too we'll known
to require description.

A Thief In Sleeps Clothing.

Hsop's fable of the ass who clothed
himself in the lions skin SO that he might
go into the oonolave of beasts with fitting
eclat was evidently read to some purpose
by Partisan thief. He procured "A sheep
skim and wrapping it nicely about him
orawled into one of the slaughter houses.
Some policemen who were on guard were
astounded to see a sheep endeayoring to
gain admittanoe to this place, and they OBJ
served the sheep closely. They were re-
warded very soon by the appearance of q
mans hand under the fleece This inter
ested them SO greatly that thoy carefully
followed the sham animal and saw him
stop at the pen that inclosed the real arti-
Gle and pick out the two fattest of the
flock. Still keeping on his disguise, the
thief was about to make Off with his prey
when the officers stepped up and took away
the fleece.
At the police station the man said that
he had carried on this unique occupation
for quite little time and made good
thing out of it by selling the meat to yari-
Gus butchers.
