Antiquity Of the Onion.

1t is not to be supposed, declares the
New York Independent, that so en-.
phatic vegetable as the onion would
be without history. 1t was formerly
custom in Bohemia. and may be still,
for anything know to the contrary, to
hang onions on the walls of the rooms
OF houses. The people did this, think.
ing that the onions would draw to them.
selves the diseases that might other.
wise attack the persons living in the
house. Garlic was honored by the Bo-
hemians, too, for on the evening of all
festival days, the people gave some
garlic to the house dog, the cock and
the gander. The Bohemians said that
garlic would make all three of these
animals very brave.
Egypt was the land where the onion
was in its glory. There was it religious.
ly respected because it was thought to
be made like the world. The earth, in
the vivid Imagination of the Egyptian,
was tunicated bulb, of which layer af-
ter layer could be peeled off after the
manner in which person takes off coat
after coat of an onion. Onions were
forbidden to the Egyptian priests al
though the Egyptian laborers ate large
quantities of this vegetable. Herodo-
tus says that in his time there was an
inscription on the great pyramid, stat
ing that 1000 talents had been paid for
the onions, radishes and garlic that the
workmen had eaten, while they were
erecting the structure One would
think such an inscription rather an
original ornament to a building in these
DAYS.
