Onions.
MINNIE APOLlS.

One day I was taken with chills and
headache. My quinlne- box was empty,
and I was looking forward to a rest
less night. In desperation l peeled a
raw onion and slowly ate it, then
vent to bed, with warm feet and an
extra quilt. I WAS asleep in five min
utes, and awakened in the morning
quite we'll. Our homely but strong
friend will be appreciated in time as
medicine, and if agriculturists would
turn their attention to raising a mod
el onion, with the strong scent taken
out that taints the breath SO unpleas-
antly, families would be putting such
pills in the cellar by the barrel, and
the doctors would take to onion farm
ing. The onion acts as a cathartic
and deuretic, and may help to break
upacold or lessen the bad symptoms.
A doctor says; 81 always store a bar
rel Of onions in my cellar in the fall.
We have them cooked twice a week,
and whoever of the family is threaten
ed with a cold eats some onions raw.
If this vegetable were generally eaten
raw there would be no diphtheria, govt,
rheumatism, kidney or stomach
trouble. l know the young men and
women are afraid to eat them. One
young man went so far as to say to
me; "If my wife ate onions I would
get divorce the same day. Rock

Hints For The Garden And Orchard

Hints For The Garden And Orchard
| For the conveniceein of ladies' and
people who dislike to usethe ordinary
| barnyard fertilizers, the following
substitute is recommended: Dissolve \
to q OF. sulphate OF ammonia in a
gallon of water and apply once a
week to growing plants. Forpotplants,
grape-vines, Strawberries, peas, and
dwarf pears, this solution has a
special value 1t increases the size
OF flowers and foliage, and deepens
the color of the latter to healthy
green.
Strawberries set in the early autumn
may be expected to bear well the next
season. Those set in good, rich ground
in the spring, get we'll established
and send out numerous runners
which may be made to take
root at nearly every joint by being
held to the ground at these points by
bits of dirt or wood. If you want to
make the most of this spreading tend
ency, plant two or three feet apart,
and pin the joints lightly to the ground
by small forked sticks.
For setting out grape-vines, prepare
the ground in the fall, and plant i'll the
spring.
AS many apple trees bear only on
alternate seasons, the following plan
is recommended for young orchards:
On bearing year, remove the bios
SONS or young fruit just after it has
set, from a part OF the trees, thus
changing the year of these and increas-
ing the prospect OF a crop from part
of the orchard every year. When the
trees are young the work may be very
rapidly done with the help OF a light

Value of Geese.

If geese are allowed to run every
where as used to be the general prac-
tice, says an exchange, they speedily
become a nuisance and destroy more
than they are worth. But they pay for
care and feeding as well as any other
farm stock. They may be plucked
every six weeks through the season,
beginning with the first warm weather
in spring, when portion of the feath-
ers become loose and fall out them
selves. One-third OF a pound Of feath-
ers may be taken from a full grown
goose at each picking, and if well fed
afterwards no injury results from
picking one each six weeks until cold
weather puts a stop to this work.
Watch for the time when the feathers
appear to come easily. They are
then said to be s'ripe." If this time
goes by it will be hard to make a sat
isfactory picking through the year.
Besides the crop of feathers, each fe-
male goose should hatch dozen or
more young which will pay their keep
by their growth Of feathers, and be a
cash article in the poultry market
during the holiday season. a flock of
geese gives in feathers, eggs, and in
crease q greater proportionate profit
than mont kinds OF farm stock.

HE KNEW.
It's Awfully Hard to Fool an Old i
Fisherman. You See:


Fisherman. You See:
He was old and weatherbeaten, and.
his clothes were the same, but there
was an expression OF supreme content
upon his tanned face as he sat on the
edge of the wharf one afternoon
and let his legs dangle down: In his
mouth was pipe that had been new
and sweet in the dear, dead long ago,
and in his right hand he held one end
Of a fish line. The other end was held
down upon the bottom OF the river,
long distance from the shore.
"Any luck, captain?" asked ayoung
man VINO was strolling by. It is con-
sidered theproper thing to call every
man along the river who is old and
weatherbeaten Captain"
"Nope-they ant bitin' much to-
day."
'"They don't bite much anyway these
days, do they?"
"Nop-not like they ulster. 'Tuseter
be so't l could come down here and
catch a basketful in maybe an hour
or So"
"That was quitelong ago, wasn't it?"
"Yep, quite spell ago. l member
one time-hello"
The old man had given his line q
vicious jerk and was now all excite
ment.
"Got bite, captain?"
"Yep, an he's whopper, too. 1
amt quite sure whether I've hooked
him. Yep, there he is l feel him a.
wigg5lin' on the line. He's a great, big,
striped bass"
All this was said in sort of stage
whisper.
GLOW do you know what kind of a
fish it is?"
"How do know" repeated the old
man, as he began slowly and deiber-
ately to haul in his line, and he threw
supreme pity for the ignorance i'm
piled by the question into his voice.
GLOW do | know? Why, young man,
l can tell jes' what kind of fish tits
| by the way he bites. Now, there's an
eel; he kind O. makes little bites o.
pecks at yer line, an then he takes
holt an swims away with yer line
sort O. easy like. Then there's the
sucker; he jes' sucks yer bait, an We
can't hardly feel him pull. An then
there's the yellow perch; he takes holt
right away and swims away like a
streak"
"And how does the striped bass
bite?" interrupted the young man.
ooh, he monkeys around whole
lot, and then he takes hold all of a
student and swims away down stream.
l lSnowed right away when this teller
took holt he was a. striped bass. ]

The Perfect Woman.

The New York Recorder is an able
newspaper and all that, but it carries
presumption too far when it informs
its readers that woman five feet
three inches tall should weigh 13O
pounds and measure twenty-four in
ches around the chest, eight inches
around the forearm and SO on.
Why should she do all these things?
Whence comes this rule? Is it. then,
that a woman of five feet three inches,
who has a twenty-five inch waist and
weighs but l28 pounds, may not be
beautiful, healthy, strong and well
formed? Shall the lover go around
with callipers and tape lineto choose
a wife?
There is deal of nonsense about
this perfect woman. As well attempt

sShe startled cry from a par OF, or q
monkey resounding in the air. A bar

It was almost by accident that at

was STOPPING and peering here and
there about q small spot of common
grass with holes III the ground and a,
thiclSet of b1amble and clematis at

but there was q wool OF passion-howers
hanging from one OF the boughs OF

was q superb specimen with dazzling
corolla.
Standing in the shade, I watched
him. He began to poke among the
bramble with bit OF stick. Then
there was movement, and with an
exclamation Of "Did not say so!''
Hammond stepped tenderly aside
while-a great snake crept forth with
an angry hiss and poise of it's head.
had time to see that it's body from
the shoulder was beautifully marked,
much as Hammond had described his
plant, but time for no more. The
poor fellow had bent down, and made
q snatch at thereptile; at the samein-
slant the snake had darted at him,
and bitten him over the eye. And
when | had rushed to the place the
snake had gone, and Hammond was
holding both hands to his face and
looking about him with an awfully
dazed expression. The shock had
brought him wholly to his right mind?
On our way back he commented on
his folly as if it had been the action OF
some one else. But the pain Of the
venom in him had already begun to
tell. Between us we had done what
we could as precautionary measures,
though this was little enough.
He was prepared for what followed
so much prepared that he made me
write his will for him the moment we
reentered the hut did it on piece
OF common tissue paper, the only
available material. The swelling all
the time was getting worse and worse;
nor was his agony in the least abated
by. the fat and oil which Wan Tan
rubbed upon it.
The poor fellow died at IL o'clock,
after suffering fearfully. Almost his
last words were these, with an at
tempt at a smile that nearly set me
crying; "What an ass I was, to be
sure, old fellow"
Before / left the place, and when we
had buried him, made my way again
to the spot where he had met his
doom, and pulled down the spray
OF the passion flower which had
dropped over him when he was bitten.
This flower, dried, and under glass, is
one of various articles that serve as
mementoes OF Incidents in my career

How Boston Streets Became

Two hundred and sixty-one years

years before there had been a few set
tiers on this side Of the Charles, and
the COWS had wandered over the

water, making for themselves the
paths through the bushes, which were
subsequently developed into roads
and then into the streets of this mod
ern city. That is how it came about
that the streets in the city proper are
so crooked. Out in Roxbury, Dor

streets are broad and straight, but in

PIONEER PRESS BUREAU Or CLAIMS,
Patents for Inventions

Equal with the interest Of those having claims
against the Government is that OF INVENTORS,
who often lose the benefit OF valuable inventions
because of the incompetency or inattention Of
the attorneys employed to obtain their patents.
Too much care cannot be exercsedin employing
competent and reliable solicitors to procure
patents, for the value of q patent depends
greatly. if not entirely, upon the care and skill
OF the attorney.
With the view OF protecting invent ors from
worthless or careless attorneys, and OF seeing
that inventions are well protected by valid
patents, the PIONEER PRESS BUREAU has
retained counsel expert In patent practice, and
is therefore prepared to
Obtain patents,
Conduct interferences.
Make special examinations,
Prosecute rejected cases,
Register trade marks and copyrights
Render opinions as to scope and validity
of patents,
Prosecute and defend infringement suits,
etc., etc.
II you have an invention on hand send THE
PIONEER PRESS BUREAU a sketch or photo
graph thereof, together with q brief description
OF the important features, and you will be at
once advised as to the best course to pursue.
Models are not necessary unless the invention
is of a complicated nature. Il others are In
fringng on your rights, or il you are charged
with infringement by others, submit the matter
to THE BUREAU for q reliable OPINION be-
fore acting on the matter.
