An entertainment was given a. the

Making vinegar is one of the simple
and easy tasks Of the farm, but to se.
cure a perfect product, the process must
be correctly and carefully conducted.
Only sound, ripe apples should be used,
avoiding dirty fruit or washing 1t be.
fore pressing. Use only juice from the
first pressing, place In clean barrels,
which have been treated with hot wa
ter or steam to destroy undesirable
germs. The barrels should not be full
or tightly corked rs free access Of air Is
desirable. In ordinary cellar tempera-
lures the first stage, the alcoholic fer
mentation, should be complete In five
or six months, but by storing In warm.
er rooms and by the use Of yeast the
time can be much shortened. The
second stage, the acetic fermentation,
may be hastened by heat and by the
use of good starter of mother or sharp
vinegar. When the required acidity
is reached the barrels should be filled to
the bung and tightly corked to avoid
undesirable fermentation. Other fruits
which are left on hands can be used
for vinegar making and the process is
about the same as given.

Walt Mason In the Enporia Gazette
prettily pictures life's journey: "a
little work, a little sweating, few brief
flying years, little joy, little fret
ting, some smiles and then some tears;
little resting in the shadow, strug-
gle to the height, futile search for El
Dorado, and then we say good night.
Some toiling in the strife and clahgor,
some years of doubt and debt; some
words we spoke in foolish anger, and
we would fain forget; some CHEEKY
words we said unthinking, that made
a sad heart light; the banquet with its
feast and drinking-and then we say
good night. Some questioning OF
creeds and theories and Judgement OF
the dead, while God who never sleeps
or wearies, III watching overhead;
some little laughing and some signing,
some sorrow, some delight, little
music for the dying, and then we say
good night.

QuIrE a schoolful, isn't it

QUIrR a schoolful. isn't it
twelve million children coming in
and taking their places at nine
o'clock these fine fall mornings?
and we have more in reserve, for
that is the regular attendance, not
the total enrolment, which is
several millions more. But there's
another side TO the story. More
than six million children of school
age in the United States, that is
from FIVE to eighteen, are not going
to school at all. The school at
tendance the country over is only
TOO days per pupil per year, which
is not as good record as we should
have, by at least a third. The
school population is housed in a
quarter of million buildings, pre-
sided over by nearly half a million
teachers, who get an average salary
oil $50 per month-S44 for women
and. $57 for men. 1t costs the
country about SAT for each pupils
education, which figures out an ex-
pense to each of us Of $40 as our
share of the nations education bill.
We are properly proud of our
schools, of course. but we have no
reason to boast of our sacrifices for
them so long as it costs us no more
than cent day apiece to keep
them going. One cheerful fact re-
mains. For every dollar we spend
on army, navy and other military
items, we spend dollar and
seventy-fve cents for the little red
school house and its work. The
difference should be greater, how
ever, and some day it will be.

Apples should never be handled more
than twice, once from the trees and
once from the sorting table. When
the sorting and packing are done in
the orchard the picker may deposit his
apples direct upon the table; otherwise
they should be placed in boxes or crates
and be removed at once to the packing
house or shed at which place they will
be cooler and Gun be sorted at a later
time Apples ripen up rapidly in a
pile If they are exposed directly to the

"THE laws delays" are worrying
the lawyers again. Every few
years the profession is stirred by
an agitation over the slow turning
of the wheels of justice. Litigants,
and especially those whose purses
are short, are troubled constantly
over the infinite capacity for delay
which marks the machinery or the
courts. and it is proper that a little
anxiety on the same subject should
be felt occasionally by the men who
know the machinery best and are
skilled in its manipulation. The
American Bar Association has con-
sidered the situation. A few weeks
ago it named three evils that make
justice sluggish and suggested
remedies for them. The first is
that appeals are decided on techni-
calities rather than on the merits of
the cases appealed; the second,
that questions of law, debated be-
fore non-expert jury, heightened
the trial and confuse the jurors;
the third, that appeals are con-
stantly made for no other purpose
than to delay final decision. All
these and other evils, as their worst
result, punish the innocent and set
the guilty free. If the lawyers will
end these evils, they can; and it is
a good sign that they seem just
now to be willing. = Epworth
