Onions as a Remedial Agent.

While the onion stands at disad-
vantage among vegetables on account
of its pronounced and not wholly
agreeable odor, it is, says Good
Housekeeping, doubtless one of the
most valuable and healthful products
of the garden. This value is not con-
fined to its use as an article of diet,
since the efficiency of onion poultices
in cases of Group and similar diseases
are too well-known to need repeti.
ton. The roasted heart of an onion,
placed in the ear as hot as it can be
borne, will often relieve cases of ear
ache when other remedies fail, and a
very excellent cough syrup is made
by putting one-half cup of minced
onions into cup each of vinegar and
.molasses, simmering on the stove
half an hour and then straining. A
teaspoonful of this syrup taken fire.

AS nervine, they are very benef-
cial, either cooked or raw, and, if
eaten in the natural state, the addi-

them more palatablo. The large.

than the smaller native growth, but
equally efficient in remedial action.

In southern Arizona and northern Mex
leo there grows plant from which rope
and Irvine that will almost never wear
out can be made. It is the mescal plant.
They are like cabbages and on large
stalk that grows up alongside the head
are long stemmed leaves with sharp,
hard pointed ends. The soft part of the
leaf can be removed and the stem
stretched out to four or five feet, it is so
elastic The thread is as strong as wire.
Ropes and heavy Irvine can be made from
the plant that will be almost as strong as
a steel wire cable.

Horace Greedy on the Misery of Being
in Debt.

Among the many good things
which Horace Greedy wrote for the
New York Ledger is the following
vivid article on the misery of being
in debt:
To be hungry, ragged and penniless
is not pleasant; but this is nothing to
the horror of bankruptcy. All the
wealth of the Rothschilds would be
poor recompense for a fve-years'
struggle, with the consciousness that
you had taken the money and prop
erty of trusting friends--promising
to return or pay for it when required,
and had betrayed their confidence
through insolvency.
dwell on this point, for [ would
deter others from entering that place
of torment. Half the young men in
the country, with many old enough
to know better, would "go into bust
ness"-that is, into debt-to-morrow,
if they could. Most poor men are
so ignorant as to envy the merchant
of manufacturer whose life is an in
cessant struggle with pecuniary diff
ficulties, who is driven to constant
"shinning," and who, from month to
month, barely evades that insolvency
which sooner or later overtakes most
men in business; so that it has been
computed that but one in twenty of
them achieves a pecuniary success.
For my part-and speak from
sad experienced would rather be
convict in the State prison, slave in
a rice-swamp, than to pass through
life under the harrow of debt. Let
no young man misjudge himself un-
fortunate, or truly poor, so long as he
has the full use of his limbs and
faculties and is substantially free
from debt.
Hunger, cold, rags, hard work,
contempt, suspicion, unjust reproach,
are disagreeable; but debt is infinitely
worse than them all. And, if it had
pleased God to save either or all of
my sons to be the support and solace
Of my declining years, the lesson
which l should have most earnestly
sought to impress upon them is:
"Never to run into debt! Avoid Pc
cuniary obligations as you would
pestilence or famine. If you have
but fifty cents, and can get no more
for week, buy a peck of corn, parch
it and live on it, rather than owe any
man a dollar !"
OF course | know that some men
must do business that involves risks,
and must give notes and other obliga-
tons, and l do not consider him real
Iy in debt who can lay his hands di-
rectly on the means of paying at
some little sacrifice all he owes; |
speak of real debt-that which in
wolves risk or sacrifice on the one
side, obligation and dependence on
the other-and 1 say from all such
let every youth humbly pray God to
preserve him evermore

A new apparatus for measuring the
mean level of the sea has lately been in
stalled at Marseilles. 1t is based on the
principle that when a liquid wave trav-
erses a capillary tube or porous parti-
ton its amplitude diminishes and it is
retarded in its phases within the mean
level of the wave changing. 1t consists
of glass tube, the lower end of which
communicates by a flexible pipe with
plunger which is lowered beneath the
lowest water level. There are two cells
in the plunger, the lower being filed
with sand and open to the sea, the result
being that the column of water in the
tube rises and falls very little with the
tides, and the mean sea level can be read
from graduated scale.

By the exercise of a little care and
the adoption of few simple rules, a
great deal of rheumatism could be
prevented. Abstemious living, free
exercise, frequent bathing to keep
the skin active, a liberal use of fruits,
and the drinking of water in large
quantities are sure preventives.
Water dissolves and washes waste
matter out of the system and its use
is essential where there is any i'm
pairment in the action of the kid
neys, bowels or skin. BY the appli-
cation of this simple treatment ard
ordinary care, immunity from rheu-
matism can be obtained.
