Wholesome Cider Vinegar.

In an ordinary cheap restaurant the

some vinegar on your food is to try and
get half lemon. Then you will know

calls. Vast quantities Of pure cider

meaning of apples and are distinctly
injurious, being purchased by the re-
tail dealer in barrels, at seven to ten
cents gallon, which every apple grow
er knows is a prohibitive price for

vinegar is good condiment. The rea-
son it can not be sold for the prices at
which chemical vinegar is offered is
that it takes from one to three years
to make properly.
The cider first must go through the
process of alcoholization, and then be
changed into acetic acid. There are
methods of artificially fastening this
process, but the product is not first

Major Alvord found it impossible to
draw any comparisons between the
methods of cheese-making and the re-
suits in this country and those abroad.
1t is believed that the American fac

States and Canada. is superior to any,
thing elsewhere. In variety and fancy

Making Dairy Work Popular.
Americans find novelty in Europe in
the fairs" and markets" where prod
ucts of the dairy are sold to the highest
bidder. In Normandy the wives and
daughters of farmers and peasants as
semble by the hundred in the parks or
along the streets, selling their
"mottes" of butter. The cheese fairs
of Frome, England, and Kilmarnock.
Scotland, and the street markets of
Alkmaar, Hoorn, and Utrecht, Holland,
also present lively and interesting
spectacles in connection with the sale
of dairy products.
Major Alvord's observations show
that while too much can not be said
of the industry, frugality and thrift of
Europe's dairymen, close comparison
leads one to feel that the conditions of
the industry in the United States are
decidedly more satisfactory in almost
every particular.

dairy industry of the continent.
Major Alvord stated first. upon his
return home. that while the United
States has never evolved a strictly
dairy COW of its own, it has now moth
ing to gain through the importation
of new blood from Great Britain, the
Channel Islands, the Netherlands, Den
mark or France. There are many pic
turesque and useful breeds of milch
cattle in these countries but they do
not compare, he stated, with the adapt
ed American breeds. For instance,

So"
The American farmer. Major Alvord
thought, has undoubtedly a much more
intelligent knowledge of the principles
Of feeding, but there is probably more
carelessness and waste in feeding ami
mails of all kinds in America than any
where else in the world.
The most astonishing feature of Eu-
rope in the care of milk on the farm is
the entire absence of refrigeration in
France, and the general ignoring of
the value of cold in dairying. In the
matter of dairy appliances and equip
ment, the United States is surpassed
by no other country. although Den.
mark and parts of Great Britain stand
about as we'll.
In most big cities of Europe there
are few well-conducted milk delivery
establishments, such as are usually
found in our smallest cities, while in
some localities dairy animals are
driven through the streets and milked
at customers doors. Mich cows are
managed in the same way even in the
best streets of Paris and Of Rome.
Paris probably has the poorest milk
service of any of the large cities. Dur
ing the Exposition at Paris in July,
1900. a special show of perishable dairy
products was held as an annex to that
exposition.
Paris Milk Exhibit Very Poor.
While the French producers had
every opportunity of exhibiting their
goods in the best possible shape, the
only samples of natural milk and
cream, absolutely free from chemical
preservatives and uncooked, which
were sweet and palatable after noon
Of the exhibition day, were from the
dairies in New York and New Jersey
then eighteen days from the COW! The
American products had been preserved
solely by cleanliness and cold. Majol

SEA WATER TO CURE PHTHlSlS
Novel Remedy Claimed to Be Effica-
cious by Paris Physician.

Washington, Aug. 14,-Sea water as
a cure for tuberculosis is advocated
by a Paris physician, and his theory
is forwarded to the state department
in consular report by Consul Gen
eral Gunther at Frankfort. Mr.. Gun
Their furnishes from German papers a
report to the effect that DR.. Quinton
Of Paris recently communicated to the
academy of medicine there state
ment on the effects of sea water upon
tuberculosis.
The experiments were conducted
with sea water, which was so diluted
with pure water as to con
tain seven parts of salt in
1000 parts of liquid. Only
in this strength should salt water be
brought into contact with the inner
tissues of the human body. The sea
water must, of course, be steriliZed
and is then injected, hypodermically,
once in three or four days in doses of
from fifty to 800 cubic centimeters.
81 far DR. QuintOn assisted by an
ether physician, has treated eighteen
patients in the manner indicated and
ascertained the quickly evident reviv-
ing effect of the sea water. The pa
tients gained steadily in weight. Only
three in whom the disease had pro-
crossed very far showed no improve
ment, while in the other fifteen a

eral condition and in that Of the dis

is the congregation of which Rev.
Vaughan was recently pastor, but had
to resign on account Of i'll health.
Rev. Keadle was appointed it's pastor
for the remainder of the conference
year. with Rev. Andrews as Junior
pastor.
Rev Andrews read the lesson of
Nicodemus. as given in the third chap
ter of ST. John. and took for his text
the nineteenth verse:
And this is the condemnation that
loved darkness rather than light be-
cause their deeds were evil
The Bible tells of many marvellous

must be so taken if we would believe
Though we keep all the command

Of them. we shall be damned. We
must believe in the Bible to be saved
and believe in it's literal translation
If we reject the word, we reject Jesus
Christ, the Son of God, and vice versa
Rejecting the word, the world shall
be condemned lost and destroyed.
The world is already lost by reason
of the fact that the world prefers the
darkness to the light.
Jesus condemned Nicodemus, be-
cause he did not perceive the light.
Though a great ruler Of the Jews, and
occupying an exalted position in
church and state, a leader of leaders,
and a man who should have been the
first to proclaim Jesus. he failed to
see the light. and came by night to
Jesus seeking to know whom he was.
His very actions were cendemnatory.
Though Jesus had performed miracle
after mircale, had done wonder after
wonder. had proven to be of divine
origin. NicOdemus disbelieved, as
shown by the question which he pro-
pounded to the Son of God. He saw
the light, but preferred the dark1ass.
There are men here tonight who see
the light but prefer the darkness.
They are already condemned.
Some claim that there is no God,

Some twist the Scriptures to suit
themselves and their own purposes.
