His Last Name.

A present-day writer says that the
tale will bear retelling Of the little
girl who went around the house
chanting, 81 hardly think Ihave any
father, hardly think l have any
father" as result of conscientious
drilling in prayer beginning, Il
heartily thank thee. Heavenly
Father" but the following may be
ranked among the desirable class Of
the 'hithertO unpublished. A small
cOlored girl, veritable Topsy in
originality, abruptly ceased one day
in her ministrations, dust-brush in
hand. and demanded of her startled
mistress: "What did you say was de
Lords las name?"
The bewiIdered lady, who had
never presumed to say anything on
that sub, ect, replied that she did not
know. but was assured. 80, yes, you
taught it to me yourself; it's in the
Bibles" and was further requested to
jus say the Lords prayer, and upon
reaching the petition, 'Hallowed be
Thy name" dusky fortlnger was
pointed at her in triumph: Didn't
! tell you9 OATS Is las name
Hal!owed.'

The Festive Onion,

''Onions are looked upon with dis
favor by many Americans" began
Frank Il. Seigel. "Onions are too
vociferous in their odor and too self
aSsertive to be liked by any one pos
sessed of a very strong will. There
Is more to the onion, however. than
its mere odOr. Onions are kind of
all-rouud good medicine. and every
housewife knows this without know
ing why. She knows that Il solid red
onion, eaten at bedtime, will by the
next morning break the severest cold
She also knows that onions make a
good plaster to remove inflammation
! and hOarsenesS But she does not
know why. II anyone would take an
onion and mash 1t, so as to secure all
of the juice in it he would have Il
most remarkable smelling of salts-an
odor that would quiet the most nerv-
Gus person in no time. The strength
OF it inhaled for few moments will
dull the sense of smell and weaken
the nerves until sleep is produced
from sheer exhaustion. 1t all comes
! from one property possessed by the
onion, and that is Il form of opium.
! Onions are narcotic in their tenden-
! cies, and for that reason the very best
kind OF food. Any one who eats a
late supper and imagines that he will
not be able to sleep had better order
a di h of fried onions and close his
meal with them. There will be no
danger of wakefulness then. The
amount of opium in a saucerful of
! fried onions will overnower tho most
sensitive digestive organs, even when
disturbed by late NEAL and one can
sleep just as we'll as though no meal
! had been eaten. The Chinese under
stand the onion better than the other
nations of the earth. A Chinaman
will mix dried onion sprigs with to-
bacco and smoke them. They prob
ably find 1t lends additional charm to
a genial pipe and brings on that con-
d ton OF dreamy wakefulness which
! is the final end Of all smoking. st.

Remarkable Effects Of Cave Air.

The remarkable physiological effects
If cave air are we'll known. A traveller
who visited the Mammoth Cave in Ken
lucky says that on emerging the sense Of
mell was intensified to such an extraor-
linary degree that most common OBJ
ects, such as trees, plants, animals and
.ven people had strong individual odors,
Mostly unpleasant. One tree could be
,asily distinguished from another by its
Characteristic odor. The effect lasted
.bout half an hour and then passed off.
Che guides say this is a usual exper-
ence. Other writer's have noticed a
'imilar effect from the sudden change
from the peculiarly oxygenated air of the
ave to that of the outside world. The
sense of smell is greatly intensified in
almost every case. This intensification
# olfactory perceptions is explained by
the rarity Of olfactory stimuli in the
cave. On emergence, in accordance with
physiological law, the perceptive
powers for these particular stimuli, hav-
ing rested, are intensified. so that odors
too delicate to make an impression under
ordinary circumstances are powerfully
felt.-[Chicago Herald.

CRUISERS IN LUMBER REGIONS.
Discomforts and Danger Met by Men Who
Hunt for Valuable Timber,

Disconforts and Danger Met by Men Who
Hunt for Valuable Timber,
The typical cruiser of the North
western pineries is the natural sue
cessor of those courriers des bois, or
rangers OF the woods, whom Irving
SO graphically describes in his 'sAs-
toria." The rangers of those days
roamed the same woods in search of
furs and peltries that the land-looker
traverses to-day looking for valuable
timber. Each calling requires hardi-
hood, skill in woodcraft, and a COM
mercial instinct upon which to test
values. There is the same willing
ness to foregO for long periods the
pleasures of social life, with the same
inclination to boisterOus excess when
back amid friends again. The dis
comforts of the land lockers life, as
described by Scribner, try the soul as
well as the body. In summer comes
the plague of sand flies, mosquitoes
and gnats, and sweltering heat and
tainted TODD: in the winter, the
numbing cold, the camp lost and the
night passed in storm and darkness
pacing to and fro lest sleep and more
than sleep may come. The snow
melts in the neck, and cold drops 20
trickling down the backbone: and
then there is the plunge through the
Jreacherous Ice into the frozen
stream. Feet become crippled
frozen, and every step pang. When
! the snow Is wet and the snowshOes
load up badly, the strings which bind
them to the feet are thongs of tor,
ture. During one Of these trying
trips vows are made, sealed with
shivering oath which shake the top,
Of the lOftiest trees that never, never
again, VIII the swearer be such fool,

What Thirst Is.


Thirst is simply sensation by which
lack of fluids in the system is made
known, and in state of health it is q
generally faithful indication Of tho wants
Of the body. Natural thirst is first indi-
Gated by peculiar dryness of the mouth
and fauces, caused by failure of tho
pharyngeal membrane to secrete due
amount of liquids, but if fluids were to
be introduced directly into the stom-
ach through tube, and not by way Of
the fauces-as has been done in unusual
cases-the immediate absorption thereof
instantly allays the sense of thirst, from
which it has been supposed that the son
sation of thirst is in the nerves of the
stomach, and that the throat sensation ID
a kind of reflex action.-[Chicago Hes-
