sarnlsh with sprIgs Of parsley and

garnlsh with sprlgs of parsley and
serve.
Another mode of preparing onions for
garnishing roast meat and poultry is:
Peel one pint of small white onions,
cover them with water, cook ten min
utes, drain off this water and replen-
ish with fresh boiling water and cook
five minutes longer before turning
them upon sieve to drain. Melt some
butter in a frying pan over q moder-
ate fire, put in the onions and sprink-
lie them. very lightly with sugar, and
fry them light brown, rolling them
around with a fork so they will be
evenly cOlored. Take the onions uD
with a wire spoon, and put them in q
clean frying pan with two spoonfuls
of clear, rich soup jelly and one lump
of sugar. Place the pan over the fire
and let the onions cook few mo-
ments, turning the onions over in the
liquid stock so each part will be coated
with rich, glossy covering. Place
them around on the meat dish
What is a nicer relish than these
same little white onions picked? Peel
the onions and put them in a strong
brine for thirty-siX hours; then drain
them and let them lie in cold water
over night. Again drain them and put
in jars, scattering among the onions q
few whole cloves, stick of cinnamon
and blade of mace. Put d small
red pepper in each jar. Heat two
quarts of vinegar to boiling, add half
cup of brown sugar and t-rn over
the onions, If the vinegar loses its
strength or shows any sign of mould,
drain the onions and rinse with water
and then cover the pickles with fresh
hot vinegar
A very old remedy for a cold on the
chest Is an onion poultice, which is
made by heating the onions and then
putting them in a muslin bag and
bruising them. Lay the bag upon the
chest over night. Care should be ta-
ken about getting in draught when
the poultice is removed in the morn
ing.
An old recipe for onion cough syrup
that is excellent is as follows: Peel five
large onions and slice them. Put the
slices in a saucepan, with one quart of
good vinegar. Cover the pan and let
the contents boil slowly until the on
ions are very tender; then strain
through a cloth and extract all the
juice. Add one cup of graduated SUI
gar to the strained liquid, and again
put over the fire and boil down to
about one-haff Bottle and seal. If
put in a cool place this syrup will keep
several months, The dose is from one
to two teaspoonfuls every two hours,
according to the severity of the cough.

THE ELDERS PRAYER.
1t Was Out of the Regular order, but
Proved EfEi@a"iuus.

1t Was Out of the Ecrai.rr order. but
Prnyc,l EfGiaasious.
The Rev. II. .. Fisher could not
resist the temptation to tell Il story on
a brother minister:
cit was Presiding Elder Stil! at the
Methodist church. The good old man
is dead now, and it can do amy harm
to tell this story Of him.
1.-THE early travelling OF the elder in
Kansas Was not c"sy. He had mule
on which he used 90 ride, and this mule
was NOS always obCdicnt 0je day the
elder and his mule enc auutered sWol-
len stream. Along the edge OF the
stream the elder and his mule str&yed
il hope OF finding Il safe crossing.
Finally the eldcE found 4 tree that over
hung the stream, aid from which he
believed he could swing 10 the other
side But the mule couldn't swing.
He could swim, however, which the
elder couldn't.
''All the extra clothing and the Bible
were made into bundle and tied On
the mules back and the animal led to
the water. He swan safely across and
began eating grass OF tho other side.
''The elder looked at the swinging
limb, and dropping 10 his knees, prayed
fervent y that he might make 10 mis-
take in gctt;n" across Then lie swung
out and landed suIely.
"Hc ll1clt and Thanked the Lord.
"But there was IL new obstacle. The
mule was having good time i'll the
grass and refused to be caught again.
Several well directed rtforts few wide
of the mark, and the good elder was ii
desperation. He must keep his appoint
ment and he couldn't walk it. There
was but one thing for the elder to do,
and the elder did it. Down i'll the
damp grass he dropped on his knees
and prayed the Lord 10 help MIN each
the mule
"Thia is the only instance l ever
heard Of il which "a rl-,p called on the
Lord t. help him catch Il lnuic, ami 10
