ings and leave vinegar in twenty-four
hours, Let the eider drip slowly
through a vat placed 'beneath the cider
'barrel; have plenty of the Bitch shav-
ings in the vat, and, as the older filters
through into tub or 'barrel below, you
will find it sharp vinegar. Let it be
exposed to the air, axed the cider bar-
rel elevated so that air comes in con-
tact with the drip. Cider must ho ex-
posed to the' air (before it will make
vinegar and, usually, the trouble is
that a scum or skin forms over the
eider 'when tinned :a little; that'ex-
cludes the air, This must be shaken
loose or the eider :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 warm water. We laid
the barrel on its side on jrvo pieces
of scantling and rolled it occasionally.
Result, good 'vinegar.
The Roman,I'oga
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 fell in graceful folds
to the ankles, covered the whole body
except the right arm, A boy was al-
lowed to wear the togawh'en he was
fourteen. Toga and toggery are slang
terms, perhaps derived from the Latin
word for this garment, so greatly .00 -
