THE Bcst ROOFING MatcrinI.

The problem of roofing is one that has
long received the attention of builders
and property n generally. To find
n material that would resist the action of
the elements, prove impervious to the &C.
ton of gases SO often generated in man
ufacturing establishments, and that
could be relied upon under the most trying
conditions, has received much attention
from ambitious inventors. From the
matched roofs of the early settlers the
evolution slowly progressed through vari-
Gus stages of shingles. tin, tar and iron;
nil of which have been found wanting in
many respects. To-day. after long es-
perimenting, it is conceded that the only
material meeting all the requirements of
the perfect roof is Fay's Manila Roofing.
This material looks and feels like leather,
will not rust or corrode, is impcrvious to
the action of gases. and is absolutely
waterproof. 1t will outwear the roof
Of tin or iron, and in every way is by
far the most economical. 1t also forms
a durable substitute for plaster on walls.
am is largely used for this purpose. Ev-
eryone who is interested in roofing, on a
large or small scale, can secure samples
of this material by addressing The Fay
Manila Roofing Co.. Camden. n. j.

The Somewhat Despised Vegetable Il
Ueeful and Wholesorue.

the 6omewhat Despieed Vegetable Il
Useful and Wholesome.
Few realize that perhaps the most
useful Of all vegetables, to the cook as
well us the housewife, is the savory
and healing onion. Soups, sauces,
chowders, made-over-dishes, in fact al
most every meat or fish dish that Is
served, Is seasoned with a few drops
OF onion Juice. and n would wonder
what was wrong IL this Juice was omit
ted. History classes the onion among
the Oldest vegetables known, and it is
spoken Of with Difference. The onion
was among the things the Israelites
longed for while in bondage, and a
tourist travelling through the eastern
countries writes that it is not to be
wondered at, as the onions grown in
Egypt are most delicious. A celebrated
medical authority says:
"Onions make a nerve tonic not to be
despised. No other vegetable will SO
quickly relieve and tone up q worm
out system, and they should be eaten
freely, particularly by brain workers
and those suffering with blood and
nervous Diseases" He further says:
Nothing will clear and beautify a poor
complexion sooner than the eating of
onions in some FORM"
II onions are prepared properly there
Is little OF no odor from them left in
the breath. and for lovers of unlocked
sliced onions it is well to know that If
Q sprig Of parsley is dipped in vinegar
and eaten no unpleasant odor in the
breath can be detected. With SO much
to recommend 1t the onion in some form
should be found frequently upon the
daily menu.
Onions should be cooked always in
agate OF porcelain lined vessels. for
ironware is liable to make them dark.
colored. If the onions are held under
water while peeling there will be no
shedding Of tears. To extract the 1uice
from an onion, cut a thick slice from
one end Of the vegetable and press the
cut surface against the coarse crater.
moving the onion q little and letting
the Juice run from the corner of the
crater. Cut of another slice Of the
onion and repeat until you have the
desired quantity.

Their Mad Dash to Destruction When

One popularity Of the buffalo. now

ing. So, too. they ran into rivers, OF
into traps made for them by the In
dams, or against railroad cars, or even
dashed into the rivers and swan blind
ly against the sides of steamboats,.
The buffalo were fond Of rolling in
the dirt. and to this habit, practiced
when the ground was wet, are due the
buffalo wallows which so frequently
occur in the old ranges, and which
often contain water inter all other
moisture, except that Of the streams, is
dried up. These wallows were formed
by the rolling Of a succession of buffalo
In the same moist place. and were often
quite deep. They have often been de-
scribed. Less well known was the hab-
1t Of scratching themselves against
trees and rocks. Sometimes n solitary,
erratic bowlder, five or six feet high,
may be seen on the bare prairie, the
ground Immediately around 1t being
worn down two or three feet below the
level Of the surrounding earth. This is
where the buffalo have walked about
the stone, rubbing against it, and where
they trod ~loosening the soil, which has
been blown away by the wind, SO that
in course Of time q deep trench was
worn about the rock. Often single
trees along streams were worn quito
smooth by the shoulders and sides OF
the buffalo.
When the first telegraph line was
built across the continent, the poles
used wer light and small, for trans
portatlOn over the plains was slow and
expenive, and it was not thought sec.
essary to raise the wires high above
the ground. These poles were much re.
sorted to by the buffalo to scratch
against, and before long a great many
Of them were pushed over. A story is
told Of an ingenious employe Of the tel.
egraph company, who devised a plan
for preventing the buffalo from dis
turbing the poles. This he expected to
accomplish by driving into them spikes
which should prick the animals when
they rubbed against them. The result
somewhat astonishcd the inventor, for
1t was discovered that, where formerly
n buffalo rubbed against the smooth
telegraph poles, ten nov struggled and
fought for the chance to scratch them
selves against the spiked poles, the
iron furnishing Just the irritation which
their tough hides needed.

THE PASSPORT REGULATIONS.
Secretary olney Gives Advice TO
American Tourists,

The President yesterday transmitted to
Congress communication from the Secre-
tary OF State and accompanying reports
from United States diplomatic and con-
sular officers on the passport regulations
of foreign countries. In his communication
to the President, Secretary olney says:
The reports show under what regula-
tions foreign states admit American citi-
zens and others, and what fornlalites are
required OF them during their soiourn
and upon their departure 1t is thought
that this information will prove espe-
cially valuable TO citizens going abroad,
as it Will enable them to know with some
degree OF certainty when they may be
called upon for passports, and under what
circumstances.
The department has at various times in
the past advised American citizens, about
TO proceed abroad, to provide themselves
with passports from this government. Al
though the tendency OF recent years has
beentoward freer and less hamper ed travel,
some governments still exact passports
before admitting foreigners
As many individual cases OF inconveni-
ence arising from a failure to procure
passports have been brought to the atten-
tion OF the department it must be said that
it is still a wise precaution, If not
necessity, for all Americans to carry pass
ports from their government.

THE POTOMAC Is sUBsIDING-
The Water Lower Than Yesterday
and No Danger Apprehended.

Unless there is another rainfall during
the next twenty-four hours it is practi-
cally certain that there will be noabnOFrnal
rise in the Potomac. The gradual thaw
and breaking up 'of the ice about Great
Falls has otviated all danger OF anice gorge,
and since Saturday night the river, pretty
well filled with ice, has been running freely,
and there is now no danger of its backing
up at any point this side OF the falls.
Along the river front the water is full
two feet below the danger point with
all the moving ice well in the middle of
the stream. so no damageis apprehendedt to
property at the various wharves.
The officials at the Aqueduct office in
Georgetown say that the water is a foot
and half lower than during the october
freshet, and owing to the gradual discharge
of the ice there has been no danger at any
time since Saturday night. They are also
confident that there is no ice backed up
beyond Great Falls, the place where their
observations end.
Citizens will have to resign themselves to
some very muddy water during the next
few weeks, as the supply of clear water in
the distributing reservoir is about eX-
hausted. The recent heavy SHOWS andrains
will have the effect of keeping it muddy for
some time to come.
