some condiment with meat, roast or
grilled. The cultivated plant is rath-
er more easy of digestion than the
wild one. Botanically the onion
belongs to the lily family. The odor
of the vegetable, which is what makes
it SO unpleasant, is due to volatile
oil which is the same as that in
garlic, though in the onion it
is milder and naturally does not
last SO long. There, are besides,
easy way of removing at once all un.
pleasantness from the breath. A
little parsley or few grains of coffee,
or even swallow or two of milk, If
taken after eating, proves an effective
remedy. Boiled onions are the least
Objectionable in regard to odor, and
are as easily digested as any. The
oil in the onion passes off in the water
in which the vegetables are boiled,
and if the kettle be kept closely
covered and the water changed
after they have boiled five
minutes, and then again ten
minutes later, there will be no odor
through the house, and the onions
will be white instead of gray, as they
so often are. Besides being rich in
flesh forming elements, raw onions
are especially good in breaking up a
heavy cold, they are also stimulating
to fatigued persons, and are other
wise beneficial.

The death of King Kalakaua IN a
foreign land, twenty-one hundred miles
from his kingdom. recalls the death of
his predecessor, kamehameha H., in
London, nearly sixty-six years ago.
Kamehameha III. succeeded his father,
Kamehameha |. the Great, in 1919,
when the old native religion was be-
ginning to give way before the whites.
American missionaries arrived in 1920.
and soon thereafter the king abolished
the tabu and idolatrv. On November
81, 1923, the king, who had long desired
to travel, sailed for London on a British
man-of-war, accompanied by bis queen,
Kamehamalu, and a suite. They were
received by George ". and attracted
much attention in London Early in
July. 1924, they were attacked by a
malignant form of measles, and on the
14th the king died; the queen died
shortly afterward. The man-of-war
Blonde was detailed to carry the re.
mains of the king and queen to their
kingdom, and on May 6, 1925, it arrived
at Honolulu, where the dead sovereigns
were buried--Chicago News

ed with the vilest of stenches.
From this he at once thought he must
be near to a corral, and when the bell
lowing of the angry beasts confined
therein reached his ears he knew that
his surmises were correct.
Pretty soon he heard a medley of
voices, and he was Immediately taken
from the cart and carried into one of the
three mud huts, which appeared to be
the abiding place that his captors had
designated for him. Now, for the first
time in five days, his bonds were re-
moved, though his captors still kept
careful watch over him. This, how
ever, was quite unnecessary. for had
they left him with the door wide open
he could not have escaped. He was too
badly cramped after his long, rough ride
in the cart to make move, and it would
take many hours of rest to loosen his
limbs.
Never was a rest more welcome to
him, and, Notwithstanding that he Law
in dirty, miserable howell, surrounded
with filth and squalor in its worst form,
he enjoyed his sleep as well as though he
had been in his comfortable room in
New York.
He was carefully watched through the
night and no chance was given for him
to escape in the event of his awakening.
His watchers were the vilest-looking
men it would be possible to meet even
in South America, and a look at them
would have been sufficient to drive
sleep from most people. Still Percy had
not needed them, but slept as soundly
as a man dog tired could sleep. 1t was
rude awakening for him, however, for
the early morning brought all the hands
on the farm who could spare the time to
take a peep at him. But he needed
them not and longed for but one thing,
and that was some one to speak to in
English. Yet no one came. At last a
burly Hollander, who had charge of the
farm Tor estancia as it is called in the
language of that country, came in.
He understood English tolerably
we'll, and asked Percy in the tongue
which he so longed to hear if he
wanted any thing to eat Percy told
him he was nearly famished, and the
Dutchman ordered his wants attended
to. These few words were all that
Percy heard spoken in English that
day, and when the next came he was
too sick to listen to any. His head
ached and his senses swan. He felt
as though some great and severe illness

Mr.. limerick was true to his word,
and in less than ten days every thing
was settled, and he, as Mr.. Breezy, was
in sole control of the confding wom
ans wealth. Their first steps were di-
rected to Paris, where a few days were
spent in a whirl of pleasure. Mr..
Breezy, as the ex-merchant was now
known, seemed as though he could not
do too much to give his newly-recovered
wife pleasure, and all the days were
days of happiness TO her. Yet what a
cruel awakening was in store for her!
They had not been in Paris a week
when letter reached them from
Eugene, saying that he had not found
the Delaros, as they had left London
and would not return for few weeks,
but he was very much delighted with
the great city, and, having met Mr..
Blodger, was having very pleasant
time of it.
Upon receipt of this a discussion took
place as to their next movements, and
it was decided to spend few weeks in
the south of France. They went to
Nice, and every thing seemed to pro-
gress satisfactorily with them until
about two weeks after their arrival
there, when the newly found husband
grew moody and sullen, and one day,
when Mrs. Breezy fondly asked the
cause, he told her that his affairs in
New York were not quite all settled
when he left that city and he feared he
should have to return Immediately to
make an ad justment.
mot without me?" faltered the faith
full woman.
Yes You can remain here few
weeks, then 60 to London, and l will
return from New York to meet you
there" he said
In moment Mrs. Breezy burst into
tears, and seemed as troubled as a
bride of twenty might have been under
similar circumstances; but after time
she was consoled and consented to do as
limerick asked.
The slippery villain had once more
gained his ends, and ere the sun set
on the following day he was speeding
northward, carrying with him an as
signment of the proceeds of the whole
of Mrs Bregy's recently acquired wealth
to himself.
He did not go to Havre, however, for
three days later he was seeking for
| Eugene in the modern Babylon.
That young man was fitting around
the great city in u strangely eccentric
manner and it was several days before
his father found him. When he did at
length discover him he heard with
pleasure that Mr.. Blodger had just re-
ceived letter from BournemOuth, stat
ing that Mrs Delaro and Armida would
be in London OH the day following.
''Truly, things are working into my
hands in lucky manner" he thought,
''but I must not let this girl and her
mother see me. Eugene can work bet
ter without my presence being made
known"
On the journey to London he had
stopped over at Paris for a few hours
and in that short space of time the
whole of Mrs. Bregys fortune was
transferred to the name Julius Emer-
ick. This part of his scheme accom-
plished, he was eager to perfect his
plans
He only needed to keep the simple
woman at Nice from suspecting his
movements for few weeks longer, and
once more he would be in possession of
sufficient wealth to keep him in luxury
during the remainder of his natural
life, to enjoy which he would retire to
some comfor rita BILE place on the Cont
nent.

SINGLE TAX DEPARTMENT.
PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES.

Letter in Portland (Me.) Sunday Telegram.
Taxes on personal property and on
building and other improvements oper-
ate as fines upon industry and enter
prise. We need more and better houses,
we want large manufacturing and COM
mercial Establishments, we want more
capital for the development of the Won
derful resources of our state. and yet
we tax all these things as if we wanted
to get rid of them The tax commits
sioners evidently wish to reduce th e
number of dogs in the state for they
recommend an annual tax of S1.00 on
each male dog. Female dogs being
even more Objectionable than male
dogs they wish to tax 81. 90 each. This
is sound policy. Too many dogs are a
nuisance hence the number must be re-
duced by taxation. But are houses a
nuisance that they should be taxed?
Does man inhict irrepara-
BILE injury upon the public when
he hires masons, carpenters,
him house to live in that the tax
assessors should come down on him
with a heavy fine? Are manufactures
employing the labor of hundreds of
hands, purchasing our raw material of
us and furnishing us with manufactured
goods curse that must be repressed by
taxation? Is capital something not
needed in this state? Some
thing so dangerous to the COM
munity that its possessor must make
oath to the exact amount he owns,
and be heavily fined for the crime of
having saved it? A tax on date trees
caused Mohammed Ais subjects to cut
down their trees. A tax on windows
compelled the English people to make
their houses abodes of darkness. Do
we, in like manner, wish to abolish
houses, factories, capital all the works
and enterprises of civilized man that we
should impose taxes upon them?
Do we wish to discourage every kind of
honest industry, the saving of capital,
the home investment of our wealth by
taxation upon industry, thrift and
capital?
Every attempt of our state to enforce
equitably general property tax has
failed. Every attempt we may make in
the future, though aided by the powers
of the modern inquisition, will fail In
every country in which the effort has
been made it has failed. 1t always has
and it always will fail, because a gen
eral property tax is inherently vicious.
The sooner we discover this truth the
sooner we shall seek the remedy. There
is a tax which meets every requirement
of a perfect tax, one which is easily APP
piled, which is equitable and just to
every one which will never result in
double taxation, which will never dis
courage industry or the accumulation
or investment of capital and which
win not be shifted from producer to
consumer or from creditor to debtor.
This proposed tax will be explained and
illustrated in another paper.

landlords are not all Of those who arc
disconnected. 1t is reasonably certain
that hundreds of others in Mclean and
adjoining counties, to escape the grasp
ing greed of Illinois landlords, will fol-
low as soon as they can. In the mean
time something should be done toward
raising funds to use in sending single
tax missionaries through this country.
The thousands and thousands of ten
ants and disconnected farmers in Central
Illinois were never in better frame of
mind than now to receive the light OF
the new political economy. The field is a
grand one for single tax workers, and it
would be lasting shame to allow it to
escape further attention. Something
ought to be done at once. Good speak
ers should be secured to canvass every
town and village in the district.-J. +.

broad daylight, so great is their disap-
pointment at not being able to wrest
the property from me-" said Mrs. Breezy,
in an alarmed tone.
Then the best thing to do is to dis
pose of your bricks and mortar and
have nothing but the hard cash to take
care of. In that way it will be much
more easily handled"
THAT is exactly what 1 have made
up my mind to do. so you had better
commence negotiations tomorrow. AS
soon as every thing is settled we will
leave here" These words. as they fell
from Mrs Bregy's lips, filled the old
deceiver's heart with fiendish glee, and
he readily answered: Il will push mat
sers as fast as possible, and even if we
have to make sacrifice we will let the

wASHINGTON'S TRUTHFULNEss.

1t Is Said He Made His Brigadiers Tell
It is painful to find that the father of
his country practiced deceit down in
Jersey. Elias Boudinot. whose papers
are getting printed, reveals this side of
Washington's character. He actually
played a trick on Sir William Howe,
and made him believe he had twelve
thousand men in his army about Norris
town when he had but three thousand.
1t seems that Howe had sent one of
his innumerable spies. who We're tories
in New York and patriots in Philadel-
phia, to see what was going on about
Morristown. The djutant-general
found out the rogue and asked Gen.
Washington if he would not have him
arrested.

Welcoming George to Bermuda.

When Mr.. George was talking with his
friends about a good place in which to
take a complete rest a suggestion was
made that perhaps in Bermuda he would
find place where the single tax had
never been heard of, and where he
would escape all invitations and temp
tations to discuss the principles with
which his name is identified. 1t seems,
however, that the editor of the Bermu-
da Colonist, the liberal paper of the
island, is single taxer and has
been such for years. 1t was, therefore,
an easy task for him to reply to an arti-
Gle in tory paper of the island, in
which Mr.. George was alluded to as
socialist" The reply is the leading ed
itorial in the Colonist for Wednesday,,
February A. and is as follows:
The most distinguished civil visitor
Bermuda has had for many a day is Mr.
Henry George, of New York city-who
is comfortably quartered at the Prin-
cess hotel. Mr.. George was, a few weeks
ago, run down by work and sought
these islands for rest. Only short
time ago he returned from lecturing
tour in the Australian colonies, where
he was received with great enthusiasm.
His themes were free trade" and ''sin-
gle tax" At Sidney, New South Wales,
1000 people in drenching rain filed
the exposition building in their desire
to hear him. 1t was the arduous work
on this trip that largely contributed to
his breakdown. We can hardly blame
the Australians, however, for having
given us this opportunity of entertain
ing SO distinguished a public man.
Mr. George is famous the world over
as the author of Progress and
Poverty" which advocates the abolition
of all taxes save a single tax on the
value of land irrespective of improve
ments. This is the direct opposite Of
socialism and for this he is no doubt
ironically called ~Socialist." Tho
movement his book inaugurated is now
forcing itself upon the public attention
Of the United States, Australia, and
England. The next congress at Wash
ington, meeting March 4, will have a
dozen single tax members who are also
democrats. The democratic party is
largely honeycombed with the Henry
George idea, and the Colored Farmers
alliance, representing 100000 colored
farmers have come out for single tax.
Within the past month the mayors OF
New Haven, Conn.,, and of Minneapolis,
Mimi, have declared for the single tax.
The knights of Labor, the great wage
earner's order, have for year or more
been fighting hard to force the single
tax to the front.
Mr.. George, who is accompanied by
Mrs. George and Mr.. and Mrs. Simon
here till next month. Were it not that
Mr.. Georges physician recommends
absolute rest and freedom from excite
ment there is no doubt many of our
citizens would be glad to tender him
recognition of their appreciation of his
public services in the interest of human
