Onions for Sleenlessness.

therefore prescribe for myself, and have
frequently done so for others onions,
simply common onions raw, but Spanish
onions stewed will do. Everybody knows
the taste of onions; this is due to pc
crliar essential oil contained in this most
valuable and healthy root. This oil has,
I am sure, soporific powers. In my own
case they never fail. If / am pressed

eat two or three small onions, and the
effect is magical Onions are also ex-
cellent things to eat when exposed to
intense cold. Mr.. Parnaby, Troutdale
Fishery, Keswick, informs me that when
collecting salmon and trout eggs In the
winter, he finds that common raw onions
enable him and his men to bear the ice
and cold of the semi-frozen water much
better than beer, etc. The Arctic expe-
dtion, just now about to start, should

IIllterate Jurors.

Tt is said that on the panel of Jurors In
the Superior Court, at Boston, this week,
there were four men who could neither
read nor write. IF this is so, there must
be great laxness In the Board which
places the names in the box from which
the names Of the jurors are drawn, or
there must be mandatory laws, which
should be amended. Such persons are
wholly incompetent to deal with the
questions which are often, if not always,
presented to them. When the Judge
takes the ground, as some of our ablest
and best Judges do, that it is no part of
the duty of a presiding Judge to intimate
to the jury his view of the force of testi-
mony, leaving all questions of fact for
their exclusive and undivided considera-
ton, it becomes of the utmost Importance
that jurors should be SO intelligent as to
discriminate between the swift and the
impartial witness between the probable
and the improbable, as determined by
all the circumstances. OF course, there
may be men unlettered even to the ex-
tent of being unable to read who can in
a measure do this, but they are not many
nor likely to be found at hap hazard. It
is also more likely that such illiterate
men may be open to exterior and i'm
proper influences. At any rate, it may
be said that this is not the ideal of the
judicial strength in Superior Court In
New England. It is only one step re-
moved from the professional juror, who
is generally q loafer and not always
honest - Providence Journal.

the kind. A large crab-apple- tree is
growing in the yard, and on the top of
the tree is blooming a pure white rose.
The rose stem, which is growing from
the apple branch, is over two years old,
as it has already bloomed two wears.

An exchange thinks the beginning Of
our second centennial is a particularly
favorable time for the American people
to make some good resolutions for the
coming hundred years. We done know
as the advice on this subject. which is
often bestowed on individuals, was ever
addressed to whole uation before.
The spectacle of forty millions of US
resolving to turn over new leaf for
hundred years to come would be novel
one, and we are afraid there would be
some hauling in different directions.
Would the Swallow Tails and the Short
Hairs resolve on the same course of na-
tional policy? or the advocates of State
right and those of national authority?
or Of prohibition aud license? or of paper
money and gold and silver? An indi-
vidual generally knows pretty we'll what

whole people. Cause and eff, ct are as
intimately connected in the cause of o
nation as OF an individual. but 1t is not
80 ensy to know what are true
causes and true effects. On the
most important questions of public
policy, public sentiment is pretty evenly
divided, and we have just settled one,
not by an appeal to right reason, but by
resort to blows. We wonder if in the
year 1875 they will be wiser. However,
We are perfectly willing to form good
resolutions for the future, as the first
generation of the century, and leave the
two succeeding ones to fulfil them. We
accordingly resolve that in the coming
hundred years, drunkenness shall cease
