The whoIrsomene.. Of Onion..

For a cold on the chest there is no better
specific for most persons, than well boiled
or roasted onions They may not agree
with every one, but for persons with good
digestion they will not only be found TO be
a most excellent remedy for a cough and
for the clogging Of the bronchial tubes that
is usually the cause Of a cough, but if eat
en- at the outset of a cold they will usually
break it up.
A writer in one of our medical journals
lately recommended the giving of young
raw onions to children three or four times
a week, and when they get too large and
strong TO be eaten raw, then boil or roast
them, but do not abandon their free use.
Another writer says: During unhealthy
seasons, when diphtheria and like conta
gious diseases prevail onions ought 10 be
eaten at least once a week. Onions are in

Great Discovery.


In the course Of conservation at Cornell
university Saturday. Edward Atkinson,
the Boston economist, stated that a New
England genius has recently discovered a
cheap method of dissolving zinc by com
bining it with hydrogen. Mr.. Atkinson
regards this discovery one of the most linz
portant of the age, and one that will surely
revolutionize fire insurance, rs we'll as i'm
mensely decrease the loss by fire. The
invention is kept secret for the present.
Only one foreigner-Slr Lion Fairplay, the
English scientist-knows of it. He cor
roborates all that is claimed for the inyen-
ton. and says that the inventor is a bung-
ling chemist, but that he has a faculty Of
laundering into the choicest secrets Of ma
lures laboratory. As Don as patents are
perfected and capital interested, zinc
water will become an article Of commerce.
