relief, as he came in. And in the
general greeting and stir, the awl-

clasped her sllk-clad arms lazily be-
hind her head. she crossed her silk
clad ankles in a froth of lacy petit
coats, and she sent languid glances of
absolute content from one face to an
other. The spoiled daughter Of many

WHEN MOTHER SITS DOWN By THE f1RE.

oh, the o'clock chime brings the coolest time
That is found In the whole Of the day,
When Larry and Gus and the others of us,
Come in from study and play;
When push the big chair to the hearth over there,
And pile the wood higher and higher,
And we make her a space in the very best place
And mother sits down by the fire.
There's great deal to say at the close Of the day,
And so much to talk with mother;
There's comical sight Of horrible plight,
Or ball game, something or other.
And she'll laugh with Larry and sigh with Harry,
And smile to our hearts desire
At triumph a task well done
When sitting down there by the fire.
Then little she'll for the clothes that tear.
Or the havoc we make on her larder
For the toll and strife Of every day life
She will love little bit harder.
Then lady is she, and her knights would be-
And her trust doughty deeds will inspire;
For long then anew to be generous and true
When mother sits down by the fire.

TURN PRUNEs TO VINEGAR.

Oregon Farmers Discover New
source OF Acetic Fluid.
The best vinegars are made from
fruit Juices and heretofore apples
have been the chief source of supply,
with an occasional resort to pears.
In Oregon, however, it has been dis
covered that prunes can be utilized
for the manufacture Of vinegar,
which, though very dark in color, Is
of excellent quality, of fruity flavor,
good body and having high acetic
content. In its manufacture only the
understood and otherwise unstable
prnnes are used, the normal fruit be-
ing too valuable for this purpose.
The prunes are first washed and
then run through crusher which re-
duccs them to n pulpy mass which Is
then inoculated with pure culture of
specific yeast organism.
This causes a strong and rapid fer'
mentation which results In breaking
down the fbrous pulp, reducing 1t 10
| a clear juice which is collected and
| fermented in open barrels.
Upon complete fermentation, which
takes about ten days and which yields
10 per cent of alcohol, the juice Is re
inoculated with pure culture Of vine
gar ferment such as the familiar
''mother."
The only objection to prune vinegar
is It's very dark color, in which feat
ure It resembles malt vinegar, but as
the latter finds ready market II
some parts Of the country 1t Is be
lieved other superior qualities of prunt
vinegar will more than outweigh this
| objection.
