Dart, heavy clouds obscured the sty, the Tfind moaned sadly throuqh the forest, and the rain was fallin; in torrents. The pine trees shook their heads, and said to one another: "'Who would have thought, when the morning dawned so clear, that before night we should have such weather as this?" The water dripped from the trees onto the bushes, from the bushes onto the ferns and then ran in innumerable little streams, be tween the stones and ni06ses. Early in the afternoon the rain had begun to fall, and as it was growing dart, the tree toad, before Koing to sleep, looted out from his door and said to his neighbor: "It will be clear be fore morning." On this same stormy night, a little white ant was making her way through the forest "Without thought of rain she had gone in the morning to a neighboring town to sell some ccgs, and now she was returning, with her nioner saiely stowed away in a little blue bag, "which she carried on her arm. At ererr step she sighed and complained: "My new dress will be mined, and my hat, too. It I had only brought my umbrella, or even put on my overshoes. As she thus spote she saw directly before her, in the twilight, a large toadstool, and, joyfullv goingtoward it, she cried: "Here, indeed, 1 can find shelter irom the storm. It seems that no one lives here, bot that is all the better lor me, for I am now sure I shall not be an unwelcome guest" Scsrcelv had the ant entered and poured the watcr'out of her shoes, when a crictet with his violin strapDed over his shoulder drew near and said: "May I be permitted to enter?" "Certainlv," replied the ant "I shall he glad ot your company." "I have been playing all day," said the crictet, "lor the festival in the village, and now I am so tired and the weather is so dis agreeable that I can go no further." The crictet then laid aside his violin aud sat down beside the ant In a few moments a tiny light appeared in the distance, and as it came nearer the ant recognized the lantern of a firefly, who bowed politely and said: "I beg mat you will allow me to stop here for the night I am going to visit my cousin, but have lost my way in the forest." "O. come in, come in," said both the ant and the cricket. "Itisgrowiug dart and we shall be glad to have your light" The firefly gladly accepted the invitation to enter, and placed her lantern on the table. The bright lighi soon led another wanderer to the toadstool, and a large blact beetle stumoled awkwardly over the moss, and without as much assaying, "Good evening," waited in. "1 am fortunate," he cried, "in finding such pleasant lodgings. Xou all seem very comfortable here." AVith these words he opened his knapsack, toot out some bread and Cheese, aud began to cat "When he had finished his evening meal, he lighted his pipe by the firefly's lantern, and sat smoking in silence. In the s$&m mm i n-iv'.' WW' THE PROPBIETBESS meantime the rain fell faster and faster, and no sound was heard in the forest save the kighing of the wind aud the water dripping from the tr"es and bushes. Suddenly there appeared under the toadstool a snail, who said: "'What dreadful weather this is. I am in great hate to get to the village, but no one can go beyond his strength, and then, too, I most always carry my house on my bact. "While it may be convenient to have shelter near, it is no easy matter to travel under such a load. "With the permission of the comnany I shall come ih and rest lor a couple of hours." As no one obj-cted, the snail entered and took a seat near the table. "When the five wanderers had thus met in the forest, the ant said: "There is no need for us to be sad and gloomr, for, although the rain is fall ine, we have a comiortable place here, and we might snend a very pleasant evening to gether. At first I thought each one might relate his experiences of the day; but a bet ter plan has come to me. I see that the cricket has his violin, and, if he is not too tired, I would ask him to turnish us music, to which the rest o us could dance." This proposal of the ant's b-bs rpfpivorl with favor by all except the snail, who said: "I am not accustomed to such rapid motion, and waltzing always mates me dizzv. But dance as much as you please; my pleasure shall be in watching you." The cricket then took his violin and played his gayest airs, while the ant, firefly and beetle danced merrily and in their delight shouted so ' loud ns to be heard several leet away. As thestormy evening was thus pleasantly and rapidly passing, an unexpected interruption broke in upon the gayety of the happy com pany. The toadstool under which the wan derers had assembled belonged to an old toad who on fine days would, as is the cus tom of toads, sit on the roof, and in bad weather would crawl beneath w be pro tected lroni the storm. Earlv in the after noon the toad had gone Irom her home to visit her aunt in the next forest and na(J delayed so long over the coffee and cate that it wis quite late when she returned. Bhehsdher woikbdg on her arm and in her hand she carried a red umbrella with a brass handle. When the toad saw the light in her house and heard the music and shouts of laughter she crept so quietly to the en trance that for a moment no one knew of her presence. Then what a confusion there wasl The beetle fell to the ground, and it was fully Cve minutes before he could rise again; the ant ftll in a swoon, the crictet let his violin tali, the firefly hastened to put out the lantern that they might escape in the darkness, and even the snail, who was usually so composed, experienced a violent heart beatins and quicfclv withdrew into his house, thinking that there he might be safe. The toad gazed with astonishment on the scene before her, and then began to swell with rage. Swinging her umbrella in a a threatening manner, she cried nngrily: "Out ot mv house, you vagabonds. Do you thint I keep "lodciuKt for street musicians and ragamuffins? Quick, begone or I shall make short work oi you." ' What could the poor creatures do? The rain was still falling in torrents; but they dared not ask meicy or shelter from the toad, lest in her anger she would devour them. Quietly gathering together their belongings they went out into the storm and dartness. Ther made a pitiful sight as thej plodded through the wet moss and JtilwM MMtwmf imEMmlWMsMiMmM . w ' x&.&&.M,Avwf M ummmwtMJEffiv. . mtmt&mttiiwm u MiWMmmmMw . dripping hushes, first went the fire fly with her lantern to show the way; then the beetle carrying his tnapiact; then the cricket with his violin; and last of all the snail groaning under the weight of his house. The beetle had strong lungs and a loud voice, and from time to time he would cry out: "Is there any shelter new for weary travelers?" But his cries for help were in vain, and the little procession proceeded through the dart, wet forest After a time it was noticed that the snail was not with the company. Then each one cried out: "Snail, snail, where are you? Make haste; we can wait no longer." But thev received no reply, and were obliged to thint that their friend had been lost ia the forest or been overcome by the storm. At last after much wandering, the firefly led the way under the roots of an old tree. Here were dry and comfortable lodg ings; but the little company had suffered so much, and were so constantly fearing an attack from some new enemy that no one could sleep; aud the remainder of the night wis passed in great unrest The next morning was bright and clear, and the storm-staid travelers having bid one another goodby in the hope of meeting again under more favorable circumstances, hastened to their homes. But for many weets they could see in their dreams the vision of the angry old toad shaking her red um brella at them. And ever aiterwards when abroad in stormy weather they were careful not to seek shelter under a toadstool. Patsik. SOME ENIGMATICAL NUTS. Pozzies for the Little Folk.

"We were soon seated before a low table in a long room that appeared to be a restaurant This restaurant, located in one of the side streets, is, I learned, the swell restaurant of Chinatown. Of course Chew did the or dering. We were first served with a strong wine, made Irom peas, served in little toy cups. A waiter then poured a blackish looking j liquid into small butter plate belore me. This, I was informed, was "heap good sauce." "Bat ku" was the first dish. This is a rare delicacy in Chinatown, and is com posed of chopped pigeon meat, waternuts, mushrooms ana wild celery. "Bat ku" is a great dish, but is expensive. We were next legated with "chop soy." This dish, a very common one, is made from beans, pea sprouts, port, rice and spices. I might add here that Chew used the regular tlon chop sticks, which he handled with great deftness. Of course I tried these, too, but beyond depositing a mess of stuff in my lap did not make a "howling success" of it. Bird's-nest soup was the next delicacy I tried. This is nectar to an Oriental. It was about as much like tapioca soup as any thing one could imagine. Beyond the fact, however, that, as Chew informed me, it is a sure cure for lung troubles, I couldn't see much iu it to fancy. It was altogether, though, a novel meal and Chew a most obliging host But I was glad when it was over and am of the opinion that about once in a liietime is olten enough to try Chinese cooking. ELECTRIC LIGHTS HEALTHY. StatUtlca SbowlDETlint the Snvlne Id Sick- neii Pare for tLe Cost of Lighting. New York ban.: It has been remarked, as showing what a powerlul element of health the electric light is, that the general health of those who use it improves, their appetite and their ability to sleep increase, and the visits of the doc tor become less frequent. This is especially apparent in the statistics of the attendance ot working people in factories and other places. In the Savings bank in Queen Victoria street, London, where 1,200 per sons are employed, the absences Irom ill ness have been so far reduced that the extra labor gained is said to have paid for the electric light The influence of artificial light on the eyes has also a very important sanitary bearing. It has been asserted that the in jury to the eyes, of which the growing shortsightedness of the day is but one result is due to the heat rays and not to the light ravs. If that be so, the electric light is less injurious than any other. If the eyes are exposed to the strong light oi the arc lamp its ultra-violet rays have a painful effect, but no one has ever complained of the in fluence of a steady glow lamp upon the sight, aud it is possible to read and write for many hours by such a light without ex periencing the least fatigue. SLEEPING JUE0ES. A French Court HnnSct Aide a Verdict for Till Lht e Fnllios. Mew York Tribune. The problem of what to do with a case in which jurors go to sleep, instead of listen ing to the evidence, was met and answered in France recently. Here it is the .ashion to send a court officer to wake the juror, or for the attorney to shout so loud as to wake him, aud then lor the proceedings to con tinue as if the juryman had heard every thing. The custom is founded on the theory that there is a strong probability that if the juror had been awake he would not have understood or remembered what was said. The President of the Assize Court of the Department of Saone et Liire, however, set aside a verdict and ordered a new trial be cause one of the jurors was asleep when some of the testimony was giVen. "The London Law Notes" calls attention to the different manner of treating the drowsiness of a judge. If the judge sleeps while the counsel are arguing etiquette in both En glish aud American courts lequires that the lawyers shall continue tbeir arguments and content themselves with supposing that the judge i listening with his eyes closed.

ChrlBl's Estimate of the Importance of That Supreme Event. THE GUIDING STAR OP BIS LIFE. Explanation -of Those Mark Hours In the Garden of Gethsemane. A KOBLE PDEP0SE BEHIND IT ALL rWETTTEK TOB TBB DISPATCH.! The most important thing for us to know, ir we would enter into the meaning of the death of Christ, is what was said about it and thought about it by Christ Himself. We know well enough what successive generations ot theologians have thought and said about it The path of Christian doc trine is strewn for centuries back with the fragments of discarded theories. The death of Christ, they said at one time, was a ran som paid to the devil. Then presently came others who denied that, and said: "No, but the death of Christ was an apology offered to the offended majesty of God." That, too, was in its turn discredited, and Christ's death was declared to be a recon ciliation between God's justice and God's love. Even that, however, did not satisfy. None of the theories, from first to last, has satisfied everybodyr To-day a good many people who think deeply about the matter are profoundly dissatisfied with all of them. The theologians have all along agreed, however, that the death of Christ was an event of unspeakable consequenoe. "We know pretty well, too, what the writers of the New Testament thought and said about the death of Christ At least, it is perfectly plain what they said about it Precisely what thoughts lay behind their words is not so clear. But this evidently, and without question, is quite certain, that the New Testament writers, like the theologians who came after them, regarded the dejth of Christ as the supreme fact in the record of His life. ALWAYS TULLT TEKATED. Everybody has noticed what a large space is given to it in every one of the gospels. Whatever else any of the ev.igelists mav leave -out, whatever else may be condensed into a paragraph or noticed only in a passing sentence, the last days of our Lord's life, and the last hours of it upon the cross, are recorded in minute detail. The story of the manger may be lelt untold, but the story ol the cross is recited, the whole of it. The sayings ol Christ upon the Blount of Beatitudes may be passed over, but what He said upon the Mount of Crucifixion has its emphatic state ment. However else the evangelists may differ, they are "all alike in the large, im portant and significant place which they give to the narrative of the death of Christ As for the estimate which is set upon the Masterfs death by St Paul and the other writers of the epistles, no reader can mistake it "VVhere the liie of our Lord is once held up as an example, the death which He died ii 20 times remarked upon. The death of Christ, the blood ot Christ, the sacrifice of Christ, the cross of Christ This was what St Paul and St Peter and St John thought of, when they thought of Him. The ideal of Christian preaching was to preach Christ crucified. Christ died for our sinB. That was the summing up of the whole Christian message. That was the brief statement of the whole meaning and purpose of the Master's mission. Hedied. That included everything. It is evident, then, that the Christian theologies and the Christian Scriptures are perlectlj; agreed as to the surpassing and supreme importance of the death of Christ As to the exact sig nificance of Christ's death there is no lack ol difference of assertion; but that it was by Tar the most significant event in the whole life of Jesus Christ, theologians, apostles and evangelists alike affirm. CHRIST'S OWN ESTIMATE. Now, what we want to know above all else, is what Christ said and thought about His death. What estimate did He set upon it? Was it to Him the supreme event and purpose of His work? Did He think about it at all as we think about it? Especially, was there in His thonght any ot that ele ment of strangeness, of mystery, of unearth liness which others have tound in it? Had it lor Him any of that supernatural signifi cance which gathers around it in the Christian creed? For the answer to these questions we go, of course, to the record of Christ's lire. And what I want to point out to you this morning is this three-fold fact: That Jesus Christ throughout His ministry looked for ward continually toward His death; that He looted forward toward it with a most mysterious dread and fear; and that at the same time He looted forward toward it as the supreme act of His life, for which He had come into the world. We begin with atypical incidentin which all the parts of this three-fold fact are repre sented. One day in the last week of Christ's life, certain Greeks who had journeyed to Jerusalem to take part in the Passover fes tival, and who had heard the general talk which was astir in the city concerning the words and works of the Galatean teacher, ap proached some of the apostles and asked that they might see Jesus. The apostles bring the request to Jesus, and He sees its significance at once. His life is ending as it began, with a pniDhecy of the lmratbering of all nations. As 'the men from the East had come to the cradle, so now the men from the West come to the cross, A TYPICAL INCIDENT. A great gladness possesses Him. "The hour is come," He says, "that the Son of Man should be glorified." But suddenly the thought of His death enters His mind. He looks along the path which the Son of Man must first tread, and there is the cross in tho midst of it "Verily, verily, I say unto you," He con tinues, "except a corn of wheat fall Into tho ground and die. it ahldeth aloue; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit" At once the shadow of a great dread seems to fall upon Him. "Now is My soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save Me from this hour." And then instantly the supreme purpose of His death drives nut- tear. "But tor this cause came I nnto this hour." This. I say, is a typical incident Christ looks forward t the cross. A horrible dread for a moment overwhelms Him. In the strength of the cause for which He. Is to die He conquers It In one nay or another this thought ar.d word of Christ about His death occur again and again along tbe record of Uis life. Christ was always looking forward to the cross. That is the hmcharacterlstic of Christ's thonght about His death which I ask you to think about Everybody knows the picture In which our Lord is represented as a boy standing in Joseph's carpenter shop with the shadow of His outstretched arms falling on the floor be hind Him in the figure of a cross. Tbere is an ancient legend, which goes well with the pict ure, that the wood of tho cross itself came from the forests of Nazareth, and was hewn into shape by Christ's own hand. ALL ALONG THE LINE. With the beginning of our Lord's ministry the cross begins to be seen In tho far distance. "Behold the Lamb of God," cries John the Baptist, to all who will hear him; "the Lamb of Goa that taketh away tho sins ot the world." Such a name could have but a single reference. It meant sacrifice. It pointed to tbe altar of tbe cross. "As Moses lifted up the serpent In the wilder ness, erenso mnst the Hon of JIau be lifted up." Christ said to one of His earliest ques tioners. And NicoderuuB knew what that meant "And I, if I be lifted up from tho earth, will draw all men unto me," He said at another time, and St John adds an explana tion lor anybody who needs it: "This he said, signifying what death he should die." By and by Peter makes bis great confession of faith. "Thou art the Christ the Son ot tho living God," he savs. And immediately Christ sets the cross where f eter can see it, saying: "The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected ot tho' elders and chief priests and scribes and bo slain." As tbe time draws near, the references to the death upon tbe cross grow more frequent and more plain. He seta oat on His Ian journey to Jerusalem, and He takea,the Twelve and tells them what will happen. "Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophet concerning tbe Son ot Man shall be accomplished. 'For He shall be delivered ,nnto the Gentiles, ajid jihail bo mocked and 8XJKDA SEPTEMBER spitefully entreated and spitted on, and they snail scourge Him and put Him to death," ZEBEDEE'STWO SONS. The two sons of Zebedee make their foolish request They want the best places In Christ's kingdom. They want to sit on tbe right hand and on the left of Christ's throne. So destitute of understanding are they! Christ answers: "Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of tbe cup that I shall drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized withf At the feast in Bethany, Mary pours the precious ointment on the Masters feet, for "my burying," he says, for "me ye have not always with you." Thus Christ looked forward toward tbe cross. Along the path of bis life lay tbe black shadow. But to Christ tbe cross was not only a fact to be faced; it was more than that It was an event to be dreaded. I want to make that plain. That is tba second characteristic of our Lord's thonght about his death, which I ask you to think about "I have a baptism to be baptized with," he said once, "and bow am I straitened till It be accomplished." That was a long time before tbe day ot tbe cross. As the day draws near that sense' of foreboding increases. He sits at the table on the eve of crucifixion, and looks into, the blackness of the morrow and is "troubled In spirit" Presently, He comes into the Garden of Geth semane. and a great and mysterious terror falls upiin Him. "Let not your hearts bo troubled," He hadjust been saying to tbe little company about Him: "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give nnto you: not as tbe world givetb give I unto yon. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." THE SAVIOR IN GETHSEMANE. Bat now the Master's heart is troubled: fear overshadows Him; there is' no peace for Him. "He began to be sorrowful," savs Matthew. "He began to be sore amazed," says Mark. "My soul is exceeding sorrowful even nnto death," -He says Himself to the three nearest ones whom He has taken with Him. That strange scene of entreaty, of supplication, of petition again and again repeated, of sweat like great drops of blood follow. Christ falls upon His face beneath the olive trees of Gethsmane. Tbe woe ot death approaches. The cross. long looked forward to, is now close at band. Already the traitor has set out across the bridge of Kedron. "O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou wlIC" Now, I do not need to tell you that Jesus Christ was brave. No woe and He had ex perience of many ever caused Him a moment's terror. No threat of men who sat In thrones or power frightened Him. Not even the woes of tbe day of crucifixion. tbe arrestthe trials be fore priest and governor, the insults of servants and soldiers, tbe forsaking of rriends, the spit ting, the bloodthirsty shouts of the multitude, the public scourging, nor the cross itself, broke for an instant His brave and calm composure. Jesus Chnsi was phylcallv and morally courageous. But here is a mysterious terror. Not alter this fashion do the good and the brave face death. With no such sinkinc of the heart as this did the Apostles contemplate their martyrdom. St. Paul, waiting the time of his departure in tbe prison at Rome, writes a letter full of Christian cheerfulness and resignation and hope. He is "ready to bo offered." How different from that agonizing cry beneath the shadow of the olives of Geth semane! Christ,' it is plain, looked forward toward the cross with a mysterious dread. THE EEASON FOE IT. Finally, we come to the third characteristic of Christ's thought about His death: there was a "cause" He said, which brought Him to that hour; there was a reason for His death; there was a great purpose to be wrought out by it What was that pnrposef Step by step our Lord reveals it "The Son of Man must be lifted up." He said at the beginning. "That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life." "I am the good shepherd." He said at another time, "lhe good shepherd giveth his life for tbe sheep." "Tbe Son of Man came not to be ministered unto," He said again, "but to minister, and to eive his life a ransom for many." Evidently, taking Christ's own words, the purpose of His death vas our good, somehow. He died for us. This might explain why He looked forward to it so continually throughout His mini-try, as the supreme act of His life. Many things He was doing for us every day He lived, but this was to be tbe chief of all. He was to die for us. Only the dread that He felt remains still unexplained. If His death were only tbe supreme witness of His love for "greater love hath no man than this" why then had He that mysterious foreboding about it? Is tbere no word further which can tell us tbatr The Lord and H'.s apostles sit together at the table on the night in which he was betrayed. He appoints them a memorial ot Himself. This tney are to do, when He is gone. In His re membrance. He sums up into a single sen tence that which He wishes those who love Him to especially remember about Him. He wants them to remember tbat He died for them. IN EEMEMBEANCE OP ME. The service which He sets them Is a com memoration of His death. The broken bread, the wlue shall be a reminder of His broken body aud His shed blood. "This is My body which Is given for your"' "this is My blood which is shed for you and for many" but there is a word more. Why Is the body broken and the blood sbedT Why does Christ dieT "For tbe remission of sins." Ah, here is tbe great secret brought in'o tbe lightl Here Is the last word of our Lord's own revelation of tbe mean ing or ills death. This is why Christ died that we might have our sins forgiven. Now we begin to understand that mysterious forebodlnc. It was tbe burden of a world's sin beneath which Christ was bowed down in tbe Garden. It was tbe black cloud of our transgressions which, upon the cross, came in between the soul of Christ and tbe light of the love of God, until He cried: "Why bast Thou iorsaken me?" We begin to understand all that. "Surely, He hath borne our griefs and carried onr sorrows. He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniqui ties. And vie, like sheep, have gone astray, we have turned every oneto bis on way. and the Lord hath laid on Him tbe iniquity of us all." Tbat is what tbe death of the Savior signifies. Tbat is tbe interpretation which is set ni.on it by tbe life and words of Christ himself. He died that we might be forgiven. LESSON OF THE LIFE. It is not the life of Christ that saves us from our sins. Tbat blessed life from tbe beginning to tbe end is a h elp agalust the strength of sin. That is true. It sets us an example full ot in spiration. It teaches us tbe love of God, and His wish that we should keep His law. It tells us what that Ian is. and by deed and word, by miracle and parable, it urges and persuades us to the keeping of it It makes us ashamed of our sins. It gives us hope. The life of Christ preached in the hearing of sinners, has all these centuries been turning men from darkness to light, touching men's hearts, leading them to repentance and so effecting the forgiveness of sins. But there Is something very different about the death of Christ. Christ never assures us, nor do His apostles after Him, tbat by His birth we have forgiveness of our sins, or tbat by the example of His life we have salvation from our sius It is His death which saves us. "Christ died for our sins." "He suffered for our sin. the just for the unjust," "Tbe blood of Jesns Christ, God's son, cleanseth us from all sin." "This is my blood which is shed for you and for many for the remission of sins." That is hat I want to tell you. Tue Chris tian interpretation of that blessed death was not Invented by the theologians, was not con structed nut of tbe imagination of tbe apostles. It was declared by Christ himself. Tbat death toward which our Lord through all His life looked forward, toward which he looked with such mysterious foreboding, and which was at tended by that strange loss of the sight of the face of God, that death wronght out tbe su preme purpose of the Savior's mission. He died that we might have forgiveness for our sins. Geobqe Hodqes. THEIE PLUMAGE TOO BEIGHT. How tbe Pretty Rlnckeicl Guilt Have AH Died nt Fashion' Hand. Lewlston Journal. The beautilul little mackerel gulls, which a few years since were so plentiful in our Maine bays and estuaries, have entirely dis appeared, and are now never seen. The cause which effected this was the demand for plumage for the decoration of the fall and winter bonnet. So exacting was this that taxidermists established branches near the supply, that they might prepare the skins of these and other birds as soon as killed. For the mackerel gull they paid 10 cents each, a price so remunerative to pro fessional gunners that these birds were in the short space of two years practically ex terminated.

THE ABUSED ONION. Vegetable of Merit Despite Verdict of'Sensitive Koses, lhe POPULAR WITH THE AHCIEKTS. Nutritive rood in Health and a Medicine in Disease. Good HOW TO HANDLE IT IN THE KITCHEN rWBXTTIH FOB THI DIDFATCU. J The onion is a vegetable which from use and custom is rightly classed among the most necessary of the domestic sort .No family would tbiuk of dispensing with it; yet by many it is never used only in con junction with other articles of food. It is, therefore, difficult for us to comprehend bow in old times it was a favorite vegetable, but that it was we must conclude from the flattering accounts which have come down tons.. The fact is the onions of antiquity, such as were produced in Egypt and in the warmer regions oi the earth, and such as are now produced in California, in the West Indies and in tbe Bermuda Islands, differ to a marKed degree from those which are grown in our latitude. We labor under the disadvantage of having been familiar with that variety which is common here, and which was the only kind available prior to the advent of those which are now the recog nized commodity of commerce. It taxes our credulity to believe that the onion, which was such an important food to tbe Hebrews in Ejypt, was tbe same as is now dug out of the ground, iu fall, in our country gardens. We read that in the journey through the Wilderness, when tbere was nothing at all besides the manna, be fore their eyes, "The children of Israel also wept again, and said who shall give us flesh to eat? We remember the flesh which we did eat in Egypt freely; the 'cqcumber and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions." This is the only mention of this article of food in the Bible; and it is here spoken of as one of tbe things of which the Israelites regretted the Ios3. SHAKESPEAEE'S ONIONS. But it is not probable that they should have been as favorably regarded if they had not been of a more agreeable flavor than those we are accustomed to. Compare, for instance, this commendatory allusion to them in that venerable record of antiquity, the Book of Moses, and the allusion to them iu Shakespeare. In the "Taming of tbe Shrew" they are recommended lor a more practical use; for none other, indeed, than to bring tear to the eyes of the boy player whose part it is to personate the weeping spouse of Christopher Sly, the drunken tinker: And if the boy have not a woman's gift To rain a shower of commanding tears. An oiiion will do well forsneb a shift; Which, in a napkin being close conveyed. Shall in despite enforce a watery eye. The onion is associated with the domestic food of mankind, as we are reminded from the earliest records of his existence. One kind cultivated in Egypt was held in such high esteem tbat in the singular forms and beliefs into which their religious instincts shaped themselves, it received divine honors. We also read in Plutarch's life that Nnma, the second King of Borne, had been taught a charm against thunder and lightning, in which onions were an ingredient; and Plu tarch says that the mixture was used as a charm in his day. Many varieties of the onion were known to the Greeks and Bnmans, and they have always been culti vated in India, China aud Japan. THE DIFFERENT "VABIETIES. The onion of the East and of the Bermu das and California are much milder in fltvor and less pungent than those of our country. Although there are not many varieties of those in use with us; yet they differ much in size, shape, color of the skiu and pungency of taste. The causes of this are mostly of a local nature, sometimes traceable to their cultivation, their age at gathering, or their exposure to the atmos phere. More thau one prominent physician has observed that it is a pity the strong un aromatic odor of this vegetable should be the cause of keeping many from indulging in it; for tbeir dietetic and medicinalvir tues are recognized as of a high order. It was a favorite article prescribed for certain purposes by the celebrated Dr. Aberuathv. one ot tbe most eminent of English phy sicians a learned doctor who did not mince his words, and who was endowed to a re markable degree with tbe gift of good com mon sense. Among many instances of this is his advice to an aristocratic patient who came to him to be cured of dyspepsia, "You can cure yourself," said the doctor. "lave on sixpence a day, and earn it" GETTING BID OF THE ODOB. Onious in the processor cooking part with much of their raukness, and the unpleasant odor pecnliar to them. Changing the water occasionally in which they are Deiug boiled helps to this end. The water, by the way, should, if possible, be hard, as soft water renders them insipid. Cooks do not agree among themselves as to the special condi tion of the water in which they should be boiled; some put them to boil in clear, cold water; others plunge them into boiling water slightly salted. The latter method comes from such higb authority that we feel onrselves warranted in recommending it. The body of tbe onion when laid open is peculiarly attractive and appetizing in its natural state; and persons of taste under stand how desirable it is that the color and healthy appearance should be preserved iu cooking. For this object various means are resorted to. They should be pared and sliced with a silver knife, the water should be frequently changed while boiling, and they should be cooked in good ware and not in tin or iron. To preserve their color iu pickling they should be boiled or scalded in sweet milk, and white wine vinegar should be used. HOW TO HANDLE THEM. To protect the eyes, pare onions under water, use a piece of bread on tbe end of the knife, or stand at an open door or win dow. To remove the odor from the hands, rub them with bruised celery. Onion juice may be obtaiued by use of a squeezer, or by grating tbe onion and pressing out tbe juice. Onions readily transmit tbeir odor to butter and milk; for this reason these articles should not-be placed in proximity to each other. The odor of onions may, in a meas ure, be overcome by tying a small piece of charcoal in a bit of cloth and dropping it in the vessel. To sweeten utensils in which onions have been cooked wash them thoroughly with soap and water, fill with clean cold water, add a lump of sal soda, let come to tbe boil, turn outthe water and rinse well. To keep large onions string them and hang where they will keep cool and dry. The small ones may be suspended in nets. Onions may also be packed with chaff, in barrels, and kept iu an outbuilding. If stored in close collars their sprouting will emit an odor anything but pleasant. SOME OF ITS USES. The virtues of onions are many. Eaten with horseradish it is said to relieve drop sical swellings; 'its application in the first stages of scalds and burns will give relief almost immediately; as a remedy for the stings of bees, wasps, mosquitoes "and other insect", and used in like manner, namely raw, it is uneqoaled; under its mystic in fluence, dipped in salt and applied fre quently, warts disappear; as a diuretic the red onion is excellent, aud the white one as a nervine and a narcotic is a blessing. ' It is the ideal food for the convalescent, and onion soup is well recommended for those who are the unfortunate possessors of weak stomachs. It is regarded as a preventive of malig nant and contagious diseases, and is, spe cially recommended in diphtheria. As a disinfectant In the tick' room it is of Untold' value. Children suffering from that com mon; but most distressing and annoying af fliction, earache, are soothed to sleep by its S roper administration. Tbe consumptive as been eased in PABOXTSUS OF COUGHING by onion juice and loaf sugar; the asth matic has found his breathing to become more normal, and has frequently induced sleep by the application of an onion poultice. Tbe rheumatic has bad the poison cours ing through his veins contracted by the al kaline elements of this useful bulb. Chil dren in severe cases of croup have been quickly relieved by alike use of it Asa tonic for the weakly and aged and infirm it has done wonders. 'The poultry raiserknows' its worth in the diseases incident to fowls; the ant is sensitive to the odor, and beats a hasty retreat when onions are around. Even the virtues hidden in its satin jacket haye not gone without recognition. Our oldest settlers can tell of the common practice in tbeir day of coloring eges at Easter with onion skins. As a tear-prc-ducing agent it,stands without a rival. Taken altogether, the onion, despised and rejected by so many, and whose beauty is lost sight of through its odor, is one of the finest condiments used .in cooking, and it is likewise one ot- the mnst valuable of lood products.

They ouly search travelers in foreign ports for two dutiable articles, spirits and tobacco, says an old traveler in the St. Louis Oloie-Democrat. When I arrived in Liver pool a customs officer asked me if I had anything subject to import duty in my trunk. I told bim no. Then be spied my valise, and repeated his question. I said: "You're the best judge; I have a box oi cigars and a bottle of whisky," "For your own use?" "Yes, and for mv lriends." "That is all righti" Out of sheer gratitude I forced that accommodating Englishman to accept a couple of cigar'; that was all be would take. It was the same way in France. My baggage went throngh a casual inspection of the outside, and my statement that I had nothing therein but my private flask was considered sufficient Ou the other hand, I was subjected to a most ridiculously rigid examination tor suspected contraband goods upon my return to Amer ica, besides being compelled to take a series of many-jointed, iron-clad oaths.sufficient to have consigned my soul to hades forthwith had I falsified in any particular. A SPONGE PAEASITE. Peculiar Plant Tbnt Wrnpn It-elf About liie Zoophjteond KilU It. Newcastle, England, Chronicle. The sponge fishers of the Rhodes have for some years past been complaining of the ex haustion ot the sponge beds previously so productive around tbe coast This exhaus tion was attributed to the introduction of the diving apparatus, which enabled fisher men to obtain a greater number of sponges. Latterly, however, it has been shown that quite another cause exists for tbe dimin ished quantities now to be obtaiued. A sub-marine plant of rapid growth fixes on tbe zoophyte, which it soon completely covers, and causes it to rot The nature and character of this novel parasite has not as yet been scientifically investigated, but specimens of sponges euveloped in this plant have been sent to Europe for examina tion by biologists, and when a knowledge of the nature of the parasite is obtained some means may be found for abating its ravages. SHE BEAT THE POUCZHAX. A Womap Drwi a Technicality on a Gar Gnnrdlitn and He Goei. New York Sun. A woman sat on a bench in Madison Square the other afternoon holding a small dog in her lap. A policeman passed that way and said: "Madam, dogs are not allowed in here." "Since when?" she asked. "Since that sign was put up, and that's years ago." "What does tbat sign read?" "Dogs not allowed at large in this park." "But my dog is not at large." "But he is, ma'am. He has no chain." "But be is tied, ".she replied as she twisted her handkerchief aud looped it over his neck. The usual sad expression on tbe officer's face was visibly increased as he resumed his walk. IK THE E0GUES' GALLERY. How Electricity May be Dill zed la Getting P.ctare of Criminal. .New York Sun. Tbe officials in tbe Government prisons frequently have considerable difficulty in securing a faithful photograph of criminals whose pictures are needed for the rogues' gallery, as the subject has occasionally a trick of distorting his features just at the moment of exposure. It bas been suggested that by fastening the sitter in a chair in connection with a powerful electric current the difficulty will be overcome. It is thought tbat any temporary insubor dination will be quickly checked by a ju dicious but sufficient shock, and that though the expression the photographer may thus be enabled to seenred may not be a remark ably amiable one, it will, at all events, be a perfectly natural one. BEES OU HIS HAND. A Whole Swarm Cnptnred nnd Only Four Sting la Ibe Operation. From tbe German for St Louis I'ost-DJapatch. Mr. F. Feller, of Ludwigsau, on tbe Dannbe, has in hh garden a bee house with 112 hives, of which 72 are occupied at pres ent Becentlyhe happened to be near jnst as a swarm of bees was about to decamp. In order to prevent their escape he canght the queen, seized her by tbe wings and hastened after the swarm, which was already some distance away. When tbe bees noticed their queen they began to gather around her and settled on Mr. Feller's hand in the manner shown in our illustration, hanging grape-fashion from his band; the lucky captor carried them to the hive and gentlv shopk them off. The whole performance lasted about three-gnar-ters o: nn hour, and during all that time Mr. Feller received only four slight stings, demonstrating anew tbat bees do not sting unless provoked to an attack. The swarm was a cross between the Krain and tbe Ital ian bee. To Ino Victor Tlelong lLo tpoII. Detroit Kree Press.
