Don't stick up your nose at an onion.
II the following from an exchange is
true, the onion should be in good
oder with the public: "a physician was
seen buying a barrel of onions and be-
ingguyed about his purchase, said: Il
always have boiled onions for dinner
for the benefit of my children. 1 like
onions, too. They are the best medi-
cine l know of for preventing colds.
Feed onions raw, boiled or baked to
the children three or four times a
week and they will grow healthy and
strong. No worms no carletins, no
diphtheria where children eat plenty
of onions every day. Another dis
tinguished physician cofirmed thefore-
going statement, adding: Couldn't
give better advice no matter how hard
I may try"

1t is Mr.. Culver's aim TO give complete

he will spare neither patience. time nor

welfare.

Mexfco,s Early Population.

Everywhere about the valleys of New
Mexico. invariably upon emineDces,
and usually upon high fatrtopped
mesas or table hills, are the ruins of
houses of the ancient seni-civilized
Indian population that lived here and
titled the soil before the coming Of the
Spanisrds, four centuries ago. The
numbers of this old population can be
only vaguely inferred By the numerous
cobblestone foundations Of their
houses, still well defined above the sur
face of the ground, and by the debris
of the fallen walls which constitute
hillocks, grass-grown and internixed
with occasional old stone utensils and
countless fragments Of pottery. This
pottery. when turned up by the spade,
is found 10 be handsome and varied n
color and as fresh Of tint Is il could
have been when the village was de-
stroyed or abandoned and every t-adi-
ton OF its existence lost N prehistoEie

A LITERARY SWiNDIER.
Appointed Professor of Arabic Withoi
Even knowing the Alphabet.

Appointed Professor of Arabic without
Even knowing the Alphabet.
One of the cleverest literary swim
dlers who ever lived, says the Detroit
Free Press, was q Maltese named Vella,
who pretended to have an intimate ac-
luaintance with Arabic, although he
did not know word of that language,
and was not even familiar with the al
phabet. He arrived in Sicily about the
end of the last century, at time when
the barons Of that country, in order to
settle dispute about their feudal
right, were anxious to gain certain in
formation about the kingdom in the
days of the Saracens.
Vella contrived to be appointed
translator of certain Arabic manu-
scripts, and he actually produced an
alleged translation and played his part
with such address that he obtained
honors, dignity and the professorship of
Arabic in the University of Palermo.
The Sicilian literati at last became
suspicious and endeavored to expose
the impostor, but he was defended by
some of the most eminent men of the
island, and it was with the creates,
difficulty that an investigation was Sc
cured. Vella was at last, however,
convicted and sentenced to fifteen
years Imprisonment.

REFORMING TIE CIVIL SERVICE.

1t no doubt strikes the average citizen
Of this country as an odd sort Of pro-
ceeding for the government to employ a
CIVILIAN to 60 through the various de-
partments at the national capital and
make a critical investigation of their
workings with a view to reducing,
wherever found prac,icable, the forces
of employees, and ultimately the ex-
pense account. That such a thing
should be done has long been recog-
nized fact by those in position to know
the situation, but why it has not been
done by the chiefs of the departments is
the question that most naturally sug-
gests itself. The army of supernumer-
aries in the departments is not a condi-
ton Of recent origin or elimination, but
is the result of the system of patronage
that has long been in vogue. The de-
mands of senators and representatives
upon the heads of departments for
places for personal friends and ''inf1u
entail constituents is next to ceaseless
and imperative, and it is through this
importantly that the departments have
become overcrowded with sinecures. This
condition being the result Of the system
indicated, it is seen at once how difficult
a matter it would be to correct the evil
by the undoing process. Having ad
mitted the names of friends of senators
and representatives to the pay rolls, to
strike them off without cause would be
taken as an offense to the latter. In a
word, custom has rendered the depart
ment chiefs practically powerless to
purge the lists and correct the abuse on
their own motion.
The only way to bring about reform
in these matters was to employ some
competent outside person in no way
connected with the government service
and entirely disinterested personally.
When the report of this special commits
sioner is submitted it ought to be an
easy matter for congress to pass the
necessary resolution to purge the depart
mental service upon the line of the COM
missioner's recommendations. The
members Of the two houses would no
doubt be glad to be thus relieved of the
most irksome part of their duties q, that
is, hunting places for hungry place
hunters, while the heads of departments
would hail the change with expressions
of delight.
