Classed H Onion.
One of the healthiest vegetables la
the onion; yet, strange to aar, very few
people one It as liberally as they should.
Polled onions used frequently In
family of children will ward of many
of the diseases to which tho little ones
ire subject
The principle objection to the promts,
ruous use of tills repotablo Is that the
tdnr exhaled after eating Is so offen
sive. A cup of strong cofTee taken Iirime.
fllntoly after entlng Is claimed to be ex
cellent In counteracting this effect.
Although for a dny or so after entlng
onions the breath may bnve a dlitagree
ib!o odor, yet after this Aiue it will
be much sweeter tlian before.
For croup onion poultices are used
ltli success, providing the child Is
kept wt of draughts and a sudden chill
avoided. Tho poultices are made by
warming the onions In goose oil until
oft, then putting them on the child's
foot nnd chest ns hot as they eon ba
borne. Except In very obstinate cases,
when taken In time, the croup readily
yield to onions.
This, although an old fashioned rem
tdj, Is A good one, as any mother who
ht brought up a family of children can
sttest.
Onions are excellent blood purlflera,
inJ for eradicating bulls or any of the
blood humors are very cftl.'nclous.
They are good for the complexion and
friend who has a wonderfully clear.
One complexion attributes It to the lib
eral uo of onions as food.
Pi-oplo suffering from nervous
troubles are much benefited by using
theso vegetables frequently, elthet
fll;od or raw.
When troubled with a hard cough. If
I raw onion Is eaten the phlegm will
loosen almoHt Immediately, aud can be
removed with very little effort
Those troubled with wakefulness rosy
Insure a good night's rest often If. Just
before) retiring, they eat a raw onion.
Ttere are few aches to which chil
dren nre subject as bard to bear and
u painful as enrnche. One of the best
reni'Mles we know of Is to take out
the heart of nn onion (a red onion Is tho
but If It can be had, although, lacking
this kind, any other enn be used) and
rast It. When soft put It Into the af

Unless the cause Is deeper than ordi

R0SEBERY QUITS.
Retlg-natlon of tbs British Cabinet Pre
sented to the Queen.
It I Just announced that the outcome of
tbo deliberation ot the cabinet, in conse

commons on Friday, la that Lord Itosebery,
the pilme minister bn tendered hi resigna
tion to tho Queen. Her majesty bas there
fore summoned Lord Salisbury, the leader ot
tbe Conservative party, to Windsor, In con
nection wltb tho formation of a Conservative
minister.
Earl Itosnberry was offered the office of
frlme minister by tbe qnen March 3. 1"?3,
Ir. (Iladstone bavug offered bis resignation
on aiKount ot bis fulling eyeslitht. Lord
Itosebery had occupied tbe position ot foreign
secretary In Mr. Gladstone' cabinet and bad
been prominently considered for ten years
past s the probable successor to Mr. Ulad
stone In the leadership of the Liberal party
when tbe time for the retirement of that gen
tleman should come,
Tbe courso ot tbe new government on the
subject ol home rule was by no means satis
factory to tbe Irish members of parliament
and their support of tliecoverntni'ut on many
measures ever since bus been grudlngly
given. The Scotch member, slso.were mauy
of them dlssatlslled wltb the attitude of the
government towards Scotch measures. The
Irish member were estranged by the propo
sal of the govornineut to erect statue of
Oliver Cromwell at Westminister.
The failure ot the government ha been
considered Inevltab e tor over a year and It
bas only been a question whether It should
come In adlssolution of parliament and nn ap
peal to the country, or In resignation, as has
proved the esse.
It la officially announced that the Marquis
ot Salisbury lias accepted the tak of form

throughout tbe country have received official
notice to preparo fur an Immediate dissolu

A RISING TIDE.
Cuainest In Some Branches Larger Than
Ever Befure.
From all part of tho United State the
best advices tell ot a rising tide ot trade and
Industry which threatens here nnd there tc
mount too fur and too fast. Tho volume oi
all business I ly no means eiiuul to that ol

semble a "bear panic" In tbe stuck market,

cent per ton; structural beams are tl.aio,
and angle $l.Vc.
It Is undeniable that works In operation
are crowded wltb orders, and others who
bave been Idle for years nre preparing to re

cause for tbs upward start In prices - the

hi ml tuch divergence of opinion that II went

on nn article of the Icattun constitution. which
provides that the leaitue shall not meddle In

mltto prepared a report to be submitted to

"Whereas, Section 1J of the constitution of

affirmation of the reso lutions adopted by tho

were clveu a little comf.-rt. The silver men,
however, insisted that this was ton roil I for
them, and as nothing but .1 resolution of the

Hllttlng a TTorae's Nostril.
Slitting a horse's nostrils Is still prno
Uccd In some parts of the worlil. nn In
Tersta, Mongolia, and even in Northern
Africa: and ponies with slit nostrils are
often seen in the Himalayas aud In Af
ghanistan. This mutilation Is resorted
to In the erroneous belief that the horse
ran Inhale more sir when going at n
fast pnoo, nnd aluo thnt It prevents
neighing a disqualification of ninth
Importance during w-nr. or when It Is
desirable to travel as silently as possi
ble. It was practiced In Hungary not
Ions; ago, If we are to ticrept ns evi
dence the copy of n finished sketch of a
horse's head, by tho celebrated Zof
fanl, given In Col. Hamilton's work on
horses. It In rather surprising thnt the
fashion was not renewed In Englnad,
for two or three centuries ago, to pre
vent a horno neighing. It was recom
mended to tie n woolen band around
tho tongue. Mnrkhnm enys:
"If either when yoti are In service In
the wars nnd would not be discovered,
or when upon nny other occasion you
would not havo your horse to nelgli or
make a nolso, you shall take a lyste
(band) of woolen cloth, nnd tye It fast
In many folds about the middle of your
horse's tongue, nnd believe It, so long
ns tho tongue Is so tyed, so long the
horse can by no means neigh or make
nny extraordinary noise with his voice,
ns hnth often been tried ntnl approved
of."
A very barbarous nnd useless) opera
tion for the prevention of Httitnliltng In
horses was fashionable townrd the end
of the seventeenth nnd beginning of tlto
eighteenth centuries; this was the ex
posure of the tendon of a muscle that
assists In diluting the nostril, ami
twisting It round two or three times,
when It Is divided. "In doing this you
shall seo the horse bring his hinder legs
to his fore legs almost, when you have
thus pulled nnd turned the sinew two
or three times." Such a statement will
give some Idea of the pain the animal
experienced during the senseless operu
tlon. The Nineteenth Century.
