Onions for the Complexion.

KIT HoLABIRD, cANANDAIGUA,N.Y Y.
I wish to whisper little secret,
to the girls, 1t is this. girls: IF
you wish . clear smooth skin, just
eat onions.
Ny sig err and I have as fine faEs
skins as y II often see, We are
never troubled by pimples, hollis
or erupti'"s of any kind and this
is largely due. our family phrsi~
clans says, to tie fact that from
infancy we have had onions at
lea t en- e Il week and usually of
tener.
When my sister came home from
= prim !olrcling-school few years
ago, she declared that ontous were
a vulgar tood' and she shouldn't
e It any But when her face would
shine, and even liberal sup. 'ly of
powder would not cover up the
ernprions, then she deci led thAy
(the onions) were not 50 very bad
after all.
Now, girls, do not be- afraid Of
having an offensive breath. but just
drink cup of coffee or chew a
few coffee kernels, and, my word
for it, your company will not sI,or.
ten their call at all, at least, on
that account.

The Former Feeds, the Tariff Bieeds.

In the following extract the Me-
con Telegraph hits a central truth
in language plain and true:
In the one great industry WHICH
protection is impossible, because
an immense over-production makes
foreign markets necessary, Ameri-
can farm products undersell those
Of the cheapest pauper labor in TIE
world. Germany can buy Ameri-
can wheat in her own markets
cheaperth II her peasants can grow
it, and the Indian ryot .o@E yptisp
fella', whose living for year
hardly costs so much as the Ameri,
can laborer.sponds in a month, cam
not produce cotton as chsaPly as
the latter.
This pre-cminence of the Ameri,
can frrmer exists il spite Of The fact
that he hears other burdens than
those which naturally bel,ue to
him. He is-the principal victim of
an economic system based on dis
elimination. The disc, mutation
IS always 20 inst him and hecessar-
iIy so. If protection is necessary
to manufacturing business, it
n ust he because that business is an
Improbable one, and the bounties
10 make it otherwise must he paid
by men engaged in an industry
which is naturally remanera,ive.
OF al American Industries, agricul~
JoTc seems almost the only one
strong enough to stand aI,sc, and
those which receive protection Lang
upon it like loechcs.
But ii has been hled too much +,
he leechcs have hecon.a TOO biz
and voracious. Figures recently
printed show that almost the whole
wealth Of the country has been
drained away 10 the Northeast.
The nine manufacturing States,
with about one third of the poDu-.
iation, hold more than fve-sixths
Of the public debt, own an eveh

The cause which have enabled
llne States to put the rest Of the
country under mortgage, if they
continue, will far TO destroy the
conditions W lich have so tar ena-
blcd Americaa farmers TO defy the
competition OF pauper labor. The
mortg lge may Change to a title,
and in time American peasants may
cultivate rented landstor the cons
fort of a rich aristocracy and a bare
existence tor themselves. 1t will
not make those peasants more con-
tent to remember that the wealth
Of heir landlords WAS extorted from

that no sort CT weather could have

That was an nnloo'5cd-for prs

This proposition was referred to

In conversation with World

Seme Interesting figures.

A man Of a mathematical turn
OF mind made an interesting calcu>
lation as to the amount OF whisky
consumed by a steady drinker who
takes on an average twenty drinks
a day. This would give 140 drinks
week, or 1880 year. Suppos-
ing it true that a man can keep
up such an average for twenty
years, he would have taken at the
end Of that time, The enormous
total of 1885, 600 drinks. The avs
erage drink is about seventy 10 Il e
gallon. Dividing $500 by 20,
it is seen that the man has imhibad
2,080 gallons Of whisky. or about
81 barrels, allowing SB gallons 10
the barrel. Surprising that the
mans l45, 600 drinks cost him on
an average 10c. a drink, it is seen
that he has spent a handsome
little fortune in the course of
twenty years.
