A Clever Reply from a Cracker.

A big passenger train full of northern
people was temporarily halted in a
dreary sand plain where the only object
in sight was n woebegone looking
cracker sitting ON a sand dune busily en-
gagged in doing nothing. In the train
was 'smart Aleck," who thought that
he would have some fun with the
cracker. So he put his head out of the
window and called out, my friend, this
appears to be pretty fine country you
have here"

looking up. ''How much of population
have You in this town." continued the
smart AleclS as he winked at his friends
in the car. ''Waal," replied the cracker.

Peter the Great Thought to civilize his
savages by making them shave and i'm
posed tax of 100 rubles on the wealthy
and middle classes and a copeck on
peasants and laborers. Now it was a
superstition among the poorer people
that no beardless son of Adam could
ever enter heaven, and being obliged to
part with their boards the great ma
jority treasured up their hairs to be
buried with their bodies. In dealing
with his soldiers the great Peter enlisted
the aid of the priests, who cunningly
pointed out the fact that they were go
ing to fight the bearded Turk and that
their patron, St. Nicholas, would be un-
able to distinguish them from their enc
mics unless they sacrificed their boards.
This was all right, and the boards of
the beloved Russians went down before
the razor in Difference to st. Nicholas
But, unluckily for the priests, the next
little war happened to be with the
Swedes, who wore no boards, and thus
it was that the Russian soldiers de-
manded to be allowed to abiure the
razor, so that the holy Nicholas might
have no difficulty in arranging for their
protection. English Illustrated Maga-

the essential factors of the organism when
deprived of it, Recent experiments have
proved that the white corpuscles OF the
I blood swell and burst quickly IL distilled
water. ProtoplaSm is inactive, aud tho ella,
or fringe-lke edges of certain cells, stop
their motion when deprived OF sodium
chloride, while in a salt solution they re-
main active and intact.
1t is stated that by the Tassage Of salt
through the body the ABSORPTION Of food is
stimulated. and the activity Of tissue
changes and growth is increased.
1t is matter Of common observation that
the swallowing of salt produces thirst,
which is but saying that certain organs are
stimulated to activity thereby, and conse-
quently demand more fluid in order to con-
tinue their normal activity,
Many children doubtless suffer from an
insufficient supply of common salt, especi-
ally when artificial food ia used. Such chill
dren are often weak and poorly nourished.
Their digestion proc seds slowly. ABSORPTION
of digested products is delayed. aud thew
become emaciated. The doctor is called
and with the order to add "a pinch" Of salt
TO the milk or other prepared food, the ap-
petite improves, the digestion is stimulated,
and proper condition of nourishment re-

1t is more than probable that the chlorine
element Of the hydrochloric acid of the
acid of the gastric juice is supplied by this
salt. In this fact persons who live largely
on a vegetable diet may find reason for a
weak digestion and insufficient acidity, for
the mineral matter found in vegetables con-
sists, for the most part, of potash salts
which do not satisfy the demand of the orig
inal organism.
The water OF mineral springs is chiefly
edicacious in that 1t supplies both salt aud
water to the blood in increased quantity.
The salt tends TO increase tissue changes,
and the greater supply of water hastens
the excretion Of the waste products which
are thereby generated.

Small Talk Indulged in by European
Ladies and the inmates of the Harem.
From the Mem York Sun.
a French newspaper published Ia Siam
says that few more ext sordinary incidents
occur than the visit of European ladies' TO
the houses OF native funotionnries. The
editor regards 1t as q strange anomaly that
the wives OF Europeans should visit the So
called wives OF native officials, although, he
says, he can understa d why the wives of
cousuls should be curious 10 enter the
harems and see life 10 suSh places. 1t is noe
difficult t. satisfy the desire. but he cannot
understand why European women should
submit TO reciprocal visits and continue
social intercourse with Siamese women, of
whom he appears to entertain poor opin-
ion. Here are some specimens which he
saws are fair samples of the talk between a
European woman aud the wife of one of the
native ministers.

variety of the Tripoli. All of these we have
grown with satisfaction.
The Queen is small or medium that
grows very rapidly, and can be grown as
readily from the seed in the south as carrots
or turnips. The Sill 'er King is larger and
little later than the Queen. There is no
dlihculty In growing any of these kinds
from the seeds. In Middle Georgia the
month OF Fenru Ary is the time 10 SOW onion
seed. la Southern Georgia, and Florida
sowings can be made in January.
For the past fifteen years we have prac-
tlced the plan OF growing a good part of our
onion crop by first raising the plants and
then transplanting them. Much larger and
earlier onions can be thus made. The onion
seeds are first sown in cold frames in No .
Vember and as late AS December, and the
plants brought to the size of an ordinary
pipe stem by Jan. Is lin Middle
Georgia. when they are set out in the opeh
ground. In South Georgia and Florida this
transplanting ca be made one to three
weeks earlier. In fact it can usually be done
with safety in those sections in December or
even ca ller In Middle Georgia we expect
hard freeze toward the middle Of January
and 1t is well to avoid this freeze for fear it
may heave out some of the plants.
PREPARING THE LAND AND SETTING OUT.
Plow the soil and get it perfectly pull
verlzed by narrowing. Lay off rows 215 or
) feet apart with common scooter or small
shovel. List on this furrow with the same
implement. Then spread broadcast what
ever manure is to be used. Do this Just g.
fore sowing or transplanting time. When
that time arrives knock off the ridges with
rake or board and in the center Of this mar
row slightly raised bed SOW the seeds or set
out the plants. In setting out onion plants
care must be observed that they are not put
TOO deep. Merely get the end Of the plant
under the soil-just enough to get the roots
in the soil To make fine bulbs
the onion must mature en-
tirely above the soil For this rea-
son it is advisable TO set out beds
50 the soil can easily 70 drawn away from
the plants along in March or Auril, when
they are growing rapidly. Make a hole
with a dibble every five or six inches, in
sert the plant and press the soil trmly to
the roots.
just as soon as the cold weather is over,
begin to cultivate and keep up the Gull
tivation sufficiently TO keep down II grass
and weeds. Cultivate very shallow with
sharp sweep or. hoe after the plants get as
large as the thumb.
How to harvest and preserve the onion
will be described in another issue.
