ONION s

Onions, together with Garlic, were held
in such estimation by the Egyptians, tina,
they swore by these vegetables as dlvini
ties. The s%atirist Juvenal ridicules them
for their superstition, and calls them a
happy people in whose gardens their del
ties grow.
The Egyptian onion, being a very fine
vegetable, was forbidden 10 the priests Of
that country, as too great a luxury. Some
have thought that the priests did not eat
the onion, from some superstitious dislike.
But the bulb they hated was The red squill,
because it was dedicated 10 Typhon, their
evil deity. Our English name of onion is
derived from the Latin unto (one); be-
cause the bulb is solitary, and throws out
no offshoots.
Garlic was highly esteemed among the
Greeks. The Athenians believed that it
counteracted the effects Of bad air. Gar
lie, with flour and honey, was the fare sci
before Machaon, in The royal tent Of Mes
tor. The herb molly given by Mercury 10
Ulysses 10 project him from the echant'
menls of Gree, is believed to have been
the garlic, called alum magicum.
Garlic was sacred TO the Roman penaies
bu, the goddess Cybele admitted no one &c
her rites who had recently eaten garlic
Horace's third epode isan execration of the
s,rong.scented herb. We must remember
the tale in the " Arabian Nights" that de

wife for entering her presence with un
