A 4year-old boy in this city was amusing
himself ono recent evening by initiating his

Of the kind was ever reported, we have to
conclude that cash boys and girls all come
from the stock which is proverbially honest
because it is poor.
This is one Of the few vacations which have
not yet attracted the attention of the social
agitators. Neither has it come under the sur
veillance of the Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Children. Yet it cannot be denied
that it is capable of furnishing topics for all
sorts Of reformers. Cash is exactly Of the age
when be ought to be at school nine months in
tho year. But in lieu of walking in tho paths
Of instruction be must run only in the ways
that leod from tho counter to tho cashiers
desk, and there Is not much Of knowledge to
be gathered by the way. Hours before the
time whom other rosy checked children are to
Be met in frolicsome groups, vending their
way to the school room, he may be discovered
standing in line before the closed doors of the
warehouse, waiting for the opening; and,
though be may look cheerful and contented
enough in childish thoughtlessness, we know
that be is preparing the way for future regret
and humiliation True, there is the night
school; but at the end Of long day Of intense
activity, at something which is not play but
very hard work, we are not TO presume that
be will take kindly to study, or drink very
deeply Of the light draught, chiefly composed
Of reading, 'riting. and 'rithmetic, which will
b offered for his mental nurture. We all
remember the old proverb about all work and
no play, and the consequences. But Cash,
like the street messenger boy, competcs with
no one, and he is, therefore, left unmolested.
Ho fillsa niche, which would DO empty but
for his childish figure, and so no Is allowed
to stand, while his fellows Of corresponding
ags are expelled FROM the factories where
they are thought to DO in the way Of persons
Of mature years.-New York Sun.

STILL CUTTING RATES.
Another Tumble in Fare Betwee

Another Tumble in Fare Between
Chicago and st. Paul.
The passenger rate war in st. Paul,
on business between this city and CHI
cago, is not fight to a finish, as it was
expected to be. from the talk INDUCED
in at the beginning. Eight or ten years
ago the roads between st. Paul and
Chicago had a similar dispute, and in
less time than has been consumed in
this affair. rates were down to 81. The
Milwaukee Il st. Paul and the Omaha,
at that time went down to the corner of
Sibley street and the Union depot yard
and erected ticket offices. while
the other roads took Offices on
jackson street, directly in front
loudest colors were painted all
ever the buildings and the stars and
stripes were impressed into service.
The tops OF the buildings were covered
with American flags, and the streets
were lined with runners from each of
the roads, who never let 60 traveller
until they had ticket in his hands at
some price, no matter what. In those
days it was sultry and all business, with
little talk. The fight, as it is called
now, is quite different thing. 1t is a
kind of a contest with soft gloves, and
for the gate receipts. Yesterday there
was 4 slight drop in the rates, just
enough to cause talk. The Burlington
IL Northern made first-claSS flat rate
over its counter at 1890 p. IN.
of $3.50. This cut was made be-
cause Mr.. Kenyon, of the Burling-
ton & Northern. says he bought a
ticket for $3.50 over the Wisconsin
Central road of a broker. Mr.. Robb of
the latter road denied that such ticket
had been purchased, but both Mr.. Tans-
dale and Mr.. McCulloch, of the Omaha
road, say that they saw the ticket. and
that it was half of ticket from Chicago
to ST. Paul and return, and that it was
signed by Mr.. Robb. The latter gentle
man is very emphatic in his denial of
the existence OF such a ticket. The
Omaha made the same rate at l 80 pm,
and both the Burlington and the Omaha
make their second class rates $3.50. The
Milwaukee q st. Paul made $3.50, sec
ond class rate to Milwaukee and Chica-
go, but did not reduce its first-class

ONIONS AND ONION SETS.
Some Suggestions as to the Meth
DDS of Keeping Them in the

Some Suggestions as to the Meth
DDS of Keeping Them in the
Winter.
We clip the following directions on
this subject from the American Agri-
culturist:
eff the onions are thoroughly ripe
there is no difficulty in keeping them
till spring. But if they are immature,
with thick. green necks, the only way
to keep them is the old-fashioned method
of tracing Take two or three onions
and tie them together with a string
round the necks. Then place another
onion on trace and wind the string
around the neck, and then another and
another, till you have string or trace
of onions yard long. Hang this up in
a cool, dry room. If the onions ale per-
fectly ripe and dry, they, can be spread
out four or five inches thick on shelves
or on the floor of any airy room. If
somewhat green, but free from soul
lions,' spread them out thinner and
turn occasionally, till you get them dry
and firm.
If you do not want to sell or use the
onions till spring, a convenient way to
keep them is to put them in a dry
place and let them freeze. All that is
necessary is to keep them dry. and pre-
vent their thawing. They will come
out of their winter quarters fresh and
firm, and will keep just as we'll as those
that have not been frozen. When
wanted for sale during the winter a
good plan is to keep the onions in slat-
ted bushel-boxes. Keep them in cool,
dry room, not in damp cellar. The
boxes can be piled on top of each other
and in rows, with all inch OF so of space
between them for ventilation.
Onion sets are easy or difficult to keep
according to their quality. If they have
long. slim bulbs with many green tops,
the better plan is to either throw them
away or spread them out to dry in an
airy room, and then on the approach of
winter place them on shelves or on
floor six inches deep and let them
anything that will keep them from
thawing. In this way you will get some
good sets for your own use, but they
will seldom be good enough for the
trade.
Good onion sets should be dead ripe
in August or September. A good set is
perfect formed onion in miniature. 1t
is round, plump, fat little onion with
the neck or top withered up to almost
nothing. If possible draw them in
when the weather is dry and hot, and
run them through a tanning mill
to sift out the sand and
art and blow away the dried-up
leaves of the onions or weeds OF any
other rubbish that may be with them.
1t is better to do this when the onions
come in dry from the field on hot day
rather than to wait: for the leaves will

be dryer then than if kept for some
time and allowed to sweat. After the
dirt and leaves are got rid of, spread
the onions out thin to dry, and keep
them dry until winter sets in. During
the winter they can be kept frozen, or
placed OH snelves in cool. dry room,
or in boxes, or even i'll barrels. The
great point is to keep them dry and
cold. If warm and damp they are apt
to start to grow. Onion-sets are a
highly profitable crop, but there are
comparatively few succeed i'll raising
them to perfection. If well grown they
are easily kept and sold. They are al
ways in demand in the spring, and the
market is rarely overstocked with them.
