THE DEsPIsED ONIoN.-1 know this:
An onion is the most vliied and worst
traduced esculent there is, and yet it is one
of the most delicious to some persons that
the earth produces. There is one thing
that it lacks, and that is popularity. l
know men who, if they experience the
slightest Whit of an onion, become so sick
that they are in the deepest Imaginable
misery for hours thereafter. What | say
is no exaggeration in the least. Assistant
Prosecuting Attorney Hooper is afflicted
that way. On the other hand there are
those who are so passionately fond Of
onions that they would rather eat a mess
of onions than to sit down to the finest
bapouet in tho land. Gen. Samuel +.
Hunt IS one of them. Gen. Hunt is an
enthusiast on the subject of onions. He
told me once that every time he visits the
residence of friend of his, who makes
specially of raising q particularly fine
specimen of onions, he eats so many that
he is ashamed of himself. Many time
he slips off to restaurant and enjoys a
feast of his favortes in several courses.
He saws that those are the happiest mo-
meuts of his life. To the travelling man,
the onion is the best friend In the world.
You can't think of any shape that an onion
is not good. Boiled, stewed fried, baked,
fricasseed, escolloped, roasted, picked or
raw, they are palatable and delicious,
Cooked with potatoes, beefsteaks, turkey
or duck, they are exceedingly savory.
Just let fellow banging around the coun'

Lake George has had five distinct names
since it was first known to the civilized
world. The Indians, in 1909, called it
Andia-to-roc.t or place where the lake
contracts. and Caniderioit. tail of the lake,
and it was thus called until 1s46. when
party of friendly Indians, together with
Father Josues and Sicar Bourbon, engi-
neer.in- chief on the governors staff,
arrived on its beautiful borders. 1t was
the eve of the festival of Corpus Christi
and in commemoration of the day they
named it the lake of the Blessed Sacra-
ment. For over 100 years the quiet of
this fairy lake was undisturbed by conflict
naught ruffled its clear waters save the
Indians canoe. and it was appropriately
known as Lac du St Sacrament. At length
the tocsin of war was sounded, the French
and English met upon its shores, musket-
nv resounded down the mountain sides,
massacres were frequent. dead bodies
we're thrown into wells and ponds stained
with the blood of the slain. It was fitting
time for Gen. johnson in 1855 to change
its name to Lake George in honor OF
George III. This name it has borne ever
since, although our great novelist, Cooper
not being satisfied with its various appel
lations, introduced 1t to his readers In the
Last of the Mohlcans" as Lake Horizon
(the silvery waters,) but this euphonious
title was never generally adopted

Nearly all of the fish eaten in America
as sardines come from Maine. They are
small herring. Sometimes only bushel
or two are taken at a time, and at others
so many as to endanger the net. The
degree of dexterity with which they are
cleaned is astonish ing, especially as it is
done by very young children. After this
they are placed on large gridirons, and
suspended over hot fire to broil. The
boxes are prepared with attractive French
labels Indicating olive oil, but this is false,
as the oil is cottonseed. The packing is
another operation at which little people
are expert. A fish is seized in each hand
and laid lengthwise in the box, first a
head ut the outer end and then tail
After the boxes are full small quantity
of oil is poured in, and then they are
passed to men who solder them tightly.
They are next thrown into an immense
cauldron, where they are boiled two hours,
thus completing the cooking process, and
dissolving the bones of the fish. One oi
the establishments in Lubec prepares
about 1000 boxes daily, and there are
nineteen such places in Esstport, besides
many others at seaport towns. The actua
cost per box including all expenses is said
to be five cents.-M Y. Sun.

PICKING OSTRICH FEATHERs.-Some
little finesse is required, in order that the
bird selected for plucking may be
approached and blindfolded with as little
risk as possible. This is accomplished
with tho aid of Chinaman, who is used
"a a bait TO attract and concentrate the
cussedness of the fowl. opportunity being
taken while the brute is absorbed in his
attempt to lay out the heather to slip the
leg of stocking over his head, which
being done he becomes practically harm
less, and the operation of divesting him OF
his plumes can be proceeded with some
degree of safety. Occasionally, however,
the bird becomes restless under the opera
tion and struggles violently, when il
becomes necessary to remove the bindfold,
