Run cider slowly ever birch shav- ings and have vinegar in twenty-four hours. Let the cider drip slowly through a vat placed 'beneath the cider barrel; have plenty of the birch shav- ings in the vat, and, as the cider filters through into tub or barrel bellow, you will find it sharp vinegar. Let it be exposed to the air, and the cider bar- rel elevated so that air comes in con- tact with the drip. Cider must be ex- posed to the air before at will make vinegar and, usually, the trouble is that a scum or skin forms over the cider when turned a little; that ex- cludes the air, This must be shaken loose or the cider stirred; or roll the barrel from side to side. Our plan was once, on failing to get birch shav- ings, to add a bucketful of molasses and water and two yeast cakes, previ- ously soaked ,in warns water. We laid the barrel on its side on two pieces of scantling and rolled it occasionally. Result, good vinegar. The Roman Toga The toga was a long, loose garment worn by the citizens of ancient Rome.

The toga, which felt in graceful folds to,the ankles, eovered the whale body except the right arra, A boy was alt lowed to ,areal' the toga when he was fourteen: Toga and toggery are slang terms, perhaps derived from the :Latin word for this garment, so greatly es- teetaied by the citireles of the preach est of aid -world nations.
