Suggestions About Oil Lamps.

The oil reservoir should be oi
metal, rather than of china or glass
Wicks should be soft, not too tight
ly plated. Wicks should be dried
at the fire before being put into the
lamps, and should be only justlong
enough to reach the bottom of the
oil reservoir. They should be so
wide that they quite fill the wick
holder without having to be squeez-
ed into it, and should be soaked
with oil before being lit. The res
ervoir should be quite filled with
oil every time before using the lamp.
The lamp should be thoroughly
clean, oil oil should be carefully
wiped of, and all charred wick and
dirt removed before lighting. When
the lamp is lit the wick should at
first be turned down, and then slow
ly raised. Lamps which have no
extinguishing apparatus should be
put out as follows: The wick should
be turned down until there is only
a small Pickering flame, and sharp
puff of breath should then be sent
across the top Of the chimney. but
not down Tx.

Onions Better than Quinine.

One day | was taken with chills
and headache, signs that my old
enemy, malaria, was on hand. My
quinine box was empty, and I was
looking forward to a restless, sleep.
less night. In desperation peeled
raw onion and slowly ate it, and
then went to bed, with warm feet
and an extra comforter, when, pres
to! | was asleep in five minutes,
and awakened in the morning free
from malaria and ready for the
days duties.
Our homely but strong friend will
be appreciated in time as a medi-
cine, and if agriculturists would
turn their attention to raising a
model onion, with the strong scent
taken out that taints the breath so
unpleasantly, families will be put
ting their ''pills" in the cellar by
the barrel, and the doctors would
take to onion farming. The onion
acts as cathartic and diuretic, and
may help to break up cold or les
sen the bad symptoms. Said doc
tor, II always store a barrel of on
ions in my cellar during the fall.
We have them cooked twice week,
and whoever of the family is threat
ened with cold eats some onions
raw. If this vegetable were gener-
ally eaten there would be no diph-
liberia, rheumatism, gout, kidney
or stomach trouble.
"But bless you! the young men
and women are afraid to eat them.

say to me: If my wife ate onions
