nature perforce breathes these im-
purities, and the effect on the lungs
is often disastrous. Nearly seventy-
three per cent. of the deaths among
grinders, polishers, and cutters result
from diseases of the lungs.
1VIetallic dust is the most harmful,
while mineral dust, with which masons.
and pottery -workers largely have to
contend, is a good second. Cotton and
Wool -workers, too, are constantly in-
haling fibre -dust, with, in the long run,
equally grave results, while the more
familiar chimney -sweep is extremely
liable to become the prey of cancerous
growths.
Bad air and extremes of heat and
cold conspire to shorten the lives of
workers in other spheres of labor.
Sewer -mien and miners of almost all
classes suffer from the effects of im-
pure atmospheric conditions, while
glass-blowers are prone to lose vitali-
ty by reason of their constant ex-
posure to high temperatures.
Lead -Poisoning Dangers.
Cotton -spinners work in a wariu at-
mosphere; the damp air prevents the
fibre from becoming brittle, and thus
snapping, and, in consequence, these
workers often suffer front complaints
of the chest
But undoubtedly the most danger-
ous employment of this kind is that
from which the worker can, and often
does, contract metalilo poisoning.
Lead poisoning, for example, affe: ts; no
fewer than thirteen different trades,
being particularly fatal to those who
are engaged in the production of lead.

Vinegar in 24 Hours.
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.
It was made of white woolen cloth.
Sometimes the magistrate's toga was
bordered with purple and that of a
victorious general with embroidery.
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.
