SELECTED RECIPES.

IHE UNION As J. fOOD.-lt IS Sthtcu |
that the onion forms one of the COM
mon and universal supports of life in
Spain and Portugal. Authority shows,
according to analysis, the dried onion
contains from % to 80 per cent of glut-
en-, and ranks in this respect with the
nutritious pea and the grains. SIT is
not merely as relish that the wayfa-
ring Spaniard eats his onion with his
humble crust of bread as he sits by the
refreshing spring; but it is because
experience has long proved that, like
the cheese of the English labOrer, it
helps to sustain his strength also, and
adds, beyond what its bulk would sug-
gest, TO the amount of nourishment
which his simple meal supplies"
