THE VIRTUE IN ONIONS.

just Try the Fra grant Vegetable When You
Can't Get Quinine.
Am erican Garden.
One day was taken with chills and
headache, signs that my old enemy, mala-
ria, was on hand. MY quinine box was
empty, and I was looking forward to a
restless, sleepless night. In desperation 1
peeled raw onion and slowly ate it, and
then went to bed, with warm feet and an
extra comforter, when presto! 1 was asleep
in five minutes, and awaked in the morn
ing free from malaria and ready Tor the
days duty.
Our bomelv but strong friend will be ap-
preciated in time as a medicine, and if apri-
culturists would turn their attention to
raising model onion, with the strong scent
taken out that taints the breath so unpleas.
antly, families will be putting their "pills"
in the cellar by the barrel, and the doctors
will take to onion farming. The onion acts
as cathartic and diuretic, and may help
to break up cold or lessen the bad symp-
toms: Said doctor: II always store a bar
rel of onions in my cellar during the fall.
We have them cooked twice a week, and
whoever of the family is threatened with a
cold eats some onion raw. If this vegetable
were generally eaten there would be no
diphtheria, rheumatism, gout kidney or
stomach trouble.
"But bless you'll the young men and
women are afraid to eat them. One Young
man went so far as to say to me: IT nv
wife ate onions I would get bill of d.
yorce'"

''Oh, woman, in our hours Of ease,

III were woman, would be just that,
and nothing more. In these lines lie the
secret of woman's greatest charm. Man was
made to work Tor woman; woman, to charm
him in his hours of ease.
fl were woman would never 60 to
weather caring to reef topsails; would never
take musket and stand post in the rain
and sleet for four hours; would never be
"walkist" and ego as you please" five or
or six DAYS. I would be the great magnet
in nv domain, and draw husband and chill
dren toward me by those unerring charms
which every true woman possesses-by
sweetness of temper, loving heart, and the
absence of all strong-mindedness. If my
husband was named John" I would
change it to Luxury" and sit in his lap
whenever could.
A man can never know the trials to which
women are subjected, and it is idle for him
to say what he would do, and what he would
not do, if he were woman. But one thing
is certain, he would not perform woman's
duties half as we'll as the woman does So
lett us thank heaven that man is satisfied to
be confined to his legitimate sphere, for those
who interfere too much with what belongs
to the other sex generally make failure.

FATTENED LIKE CATTLE.
Fate of Slaves in Some Of the Canniballstic
African Countries.

Fate OF slaves In some OF the Caun1baligttc
African Countries.
Fattening slaves in a park and feeding
them up like animals destined for the
table. and then leading them to sham
bles, where they are slaughtered like
oxen. cut into pieces and shared bit
by bit among hungry cannibals-
such is the practice which is per-
mitted, according to NJ. Fondese, French
explorer, in some of the French, Belgian,
Portuguese, and even British territories in
Ubanghi. M. Fondese was sent out three
years ago by the French Government to dis
cover the sources of the Niarguillion, and
having returned after the successful accom-
plishment Of his task, he hastens to tell his
countrymen all about the terrible things
which he has seen in his travels.
The "fattsning parks" or paddocks are, he
says, to be seen in each village, and contain
men and women who have been taken in
war. The poor wretches take their doom
philosophically, and some of them to whom
NJ. Fondese offered freedom actually refused
it. They eat, drink, dance and sing until
the head 'Fetish-mau" comes round ac-
companied by an orchestra OF tom-tom and
tin-kettle players, selects sufficiently fat
specimen, carries him or her to the market
place OF the village and splits his or her
head with hatchet or scythe-like knife.
The eyes and tongue of the victim are given
to the "boss" fetish and the rest OF the body
is divided among the anthropophagi.

AN ENGLISH HOME.
The Mansion of Sir Harry aud Lady Yer.
ney, in Bnckinghamshire.

The Mansion of Sir Harry mud Lady Yer.
ney, in Bnclxins shamshire.
Louise Chandler Moulton in Boston Herald.J
have Just returned from a delightful
visit to Sir Harry and Lady Ver-
ney, at Clayton House, in Buckinghamshire.
Fancy great rambling house, hundreds of
years old, in the midst of several hundred
acres of park, where the trees, some of
which are said TO be 900 years old, and
others planted by Sir Harry Verney in his
boyhood, have grown to be 100 feet tall,
while yet he lives to see them. 1t is very
easy to lose ones way in Clayton House.
From great hall two wide staircases climb
to the different wings. There are two great
Libraries, one above stairs and one below, so
overfull of trea sures one hardly knows in
which corner to linger-there are drawing
rooms, boudoirs, dining and breakfast
rooms-and everywhere on the walls hang
portraits of dead and gone Verneys by dead
and gone old masters, Vandyke and Others
Carvings engrayings, old china. curios of
all sorts-you might forage among them for
months and not half make their acquaint-
ance. Picture TO yourselves this pleasantest
of houses, inhabited by the kindest, gen.
tlest, most hospitable people the sun
shines onl
You know something of Lady Verney, for
I wrote to the Herald of her interesting and
discriminating work on the subject of
Peasant Holdings in Europe" She is also
the author of several widely read tales, one
of which is "Lettice Lisle." She is the
sister of Florence Nightingale, and there
are several portraits of Miss Nightingale at
Clayton House, beside statue and an ex-
quisite bust. W. B. Richmond has painted
the full-length portrait of Sir Harry and
Lady Verney, and these portraits will keep
the old Vandykes company on the walls of
Clayton House when future generations of
Verneys shall dwell in the ancestral home.
Sir Harry Verney is nearly SS, and yet
gallops off for his daily ride as gayly as il
he were only half that age. He took me
long walk through the park. and 1 confess
he is a far better walker than 1 am. We
went into the parish church, which is within
the park, and not far from the house, and 1t,
too, is full of monuments and memorials
to dead and gone Verneys and
Calverts. It was so restfuI and
lovely spot-this beautiful old
English home, in the midst of its trees
that one hated to come back from it into the
strenuous turbulence of London. Lady
Verney drove me through the estate-where
perhaps 90 of the comfortable little cottages
have been built since Sir Harry came into
possession-and did not wonder at the
happy Iaces I saw everywhere. 1 never be-
fore had quite such a sense of what might
be the charm of rural peasant life, under
the benign care of master who is also a
friend.

HE WOULD NOT BE A MANLY WOMAN.
Or. Talmase Believes Each sex Should
Keep to Its Appointed Sphere.

Or. Talmage Believes Each sex Should
Keep to Its Appointed Sphere.
If were a woman,
would stay a woman.
Ii there is anything despieable to my
mind it is an efeminate man or a masculine
woman.
Just in proportion as woman does her
work in the sphere that God has appointed
for her, she will be happy and attractive.
There is a great multitude of men now
who, BY their manners, assume sort of
womanhood. They want to be soft; they go
simpering through the world, and they are
far from being of interest to anybody. A
man should be a man; a woman a woman,
and nothing else.
There is no reason why there should be
any distinction as to where the line should
be that divides mans appropriate field and
woman's particular sphere. Every man
knows when he is engaged in his right occu-
patton, and so does every woman, and when
they attempt otherwise they become offen-
sive to all sensible men and all sensible
women. T. DE WITT TALMAGE.

work Of high excellence. Such men do not
content themselves with existing standards
of work; they set themselves to inquire
whether by some notifications of proceed
ure it may not be possible to work faster. to
spare wear and tear of machinery, to effect
economies in materials, to prevent injury to
any portion OF the stock in trade. When
heavy pressure Of business visits the estab-
lishment its hands are ready with alacrity
to redouble their efforts, well knowing tina:
the ordinary machinery of participation
will, at the years end, bring the reward for
their additional exertions. The employing
capitalist proba bly, finds the chief benefit of
participation in the industrial stability just
described, which relieves him from the
worry and anxiety of constant social fric-
wholly to the development of the enterprise
which he directs"
NECESSITY FOR COOPERATION.
That there is necessity for the introduce
ton of some system that will harmonize
capital and labor, or, more correctly speak
ing, employers and employees, nobody, I
think, will deny. There is a perpetual war
raging between these two great elements
of production, for no sooner is
a conflict settled in one quarter than an
other breaks out somewhere else. AS re-
suit, everybody is the loser. 1t is also a
fact that comparative few are amassing
the wealth of the land. The proft-sharing
system would give a more equal distribu-
ton, not by making the incomes of the
capitalists less, but by increasing the in
comes of the workmen. The country would
be stocked with larger quantity of useful
things and of better quality.
This is a nupstion demanding the ptten-
tion of everybody interested in the indus
trial progress of the country. 1t is only by
the adoption of sound and reasonable
principles that the wild demands of Anarch-
lists and Socialists can be made absurd. 1t
is true that on questions of this kind there
are many conflicting opinions. However, we
should not allow these opinions to crystalline
into creeds. The industrial condition of the
country to-day demands that something be
done.

Lord God "planted a garden eastward in

A Irritation, and fig leaf As the doc
tors say, There has been no marked
change" And how many leaves of other
trees do you suppose she tried on before she
found the fig leaf to fit her? Fancy the late
Mr.. Adam coming home from downtown in
the crowded street car, and Eve rushing in
upon him with her arms full of leaves. and
she making him get up and swing his heavy
frame to a greasy strap, while she nursed
her fig leaves ano firted right and left with
the simpering clerks.
What would l do if / were a woman?
would quit iooling with fig leaves. 1 would
dress up once, modestly, tastily, with great
regard for health and com ort and comeli-
ness, and then would rise up and try and
do something else before the day of iudp-
ment. For this fg-leaf business has lasted
long enough. The very first thing laid
down within the lids OF the Bible, after the
chronicle of creation, is this fuss and trouble
about women's dress. For on the very next
page we find Eve still unsatisfed about the
cut and quality of her fig leaf dress, and we
read that unto Adam also and to his wife
did the Lord God make coats of skins and
clothed them"
