FACTS ABOUT ONIONS.


There is no more wholesome vegeta-

despised onion. No one who eats free.
ly of onions will ever be troubled With
sleeplessness nor serious blood trou.
bles. They clear the blood of those
poisons which produce rheumatism and
muddy compilations and those nations
that eat of onions with the greatest
freedom are the ones most free from ills
of this kind.
Onions when grown from seed should
be planted within few days in order
to have time to mature full crop, but
where sets are used they may be put
out Mt any time while the sets are in
the market.
The rows should be is inches apart
and the onions three inches in the
rows. The land cannot be made too rich
nor too fine before planting. Put in
fine manure and ashes, il you have
them, work the sell over and over until
it is as fine as dust. and sow the seed
or put in the sets.
The cultivation should never be deep,
the soil should not be disturbed below
one inch from the surface at any time
during the season. The onion throws
out its roots near the surface, and as
they are not very long the soil should
be rich and the cultivation shallow.
Never ridge the soil up to the rows.
The ideal onion bed Is one where the
bulbs grow above the ground for more
than half their size.
1t is 4 common remark thatsonions
agree with but few people. Anyone
who eats them regularly will soon find
any trouble of this kind gone as well
as other and more serious ones very
often.

WILLING EXILES
The English and Americans Are In
D0rtant Factors In the
Life Of Paris.

"On and after this date" wrote Na-
poleon l. to Fouche, 'see that the Eng
lish are expelled from Paris"
Such an edict would seem very large
order at the present day, but it was by
no means q small one in Napoleon's
time. What would the Paris of to-day
be without its English colony? From
Sir Edmund Monson, our ambassador,
to the pale boy who files the English
journals in Meals library, In the Rue
Castigline, the English are very impor-
tant factors in Partisan life.
There has been an English colony in
the French capital for many centuries;
yet one might search in vain for SIM
liar French colony in London. The
Leicester and Soho square districts. al
though owning a large French pop
ulation, possess hardly trace of tho
flavor or mien that distinguishes the
quarter the English frequent in Paris
and it is not fifth of the size.
To speak broadly, Paris has within its
walled borders little London of many
thousand persons-not squalid and i'm
poverished, but boasting splendid man.
sions, fine shops, hotels, churches, hos
pitfalls and libraries, and all these to
such an extent that it is difficult to be-
lieve one is not in the British capital
itself.
The inhabitants of this colony might
roughly be catalogued an follows: Re-
tired people and gentlefolk who have
seen better days; those who desire to
have their children educated in the lam
guage, business people, authors, artists,
students, journalists and professional
men; those who have the best of private
reasons for living ont of England, and
cranks. which term includes certain i'm
dividuals who for some cause or other
have developed feeling of hatred for
the land of their birth. Nearly all are
exiles of their own accord.
On Sunday the elite of the English
colony turns out to the Church Of the
Embassy in the Ru d. Aguesseau. Here
for number of years DIR. Nayes, who
was formerly Leytonstone incumbent,
has now preached. and here collection
bag goes regularly round. and Is as
regularly returned in a condition OF
comparative emptiness. For your Eng
Eshman of the English colony is either
in condition to help largely support
the church and does, or else gives moth |
ing at all.
One thing must be said about the |
English and Americans who go to Paris. |
They support the city. Without their
patronage there is scarcely big shop
on the boulevards that would not close |
its doors within few months.-Lon-
don Mail.

scope, and you will see most formid-
able appearing six-legged insect. If he
has wings he is a male scale, and if with.
out wings female.
This scale is more important animal
than many imagine, as is shown by the
European prejudice against him. He
holds very high place in chronological
| society.
Prof. L. o. Howard, entomologist Of
the United States department of agri.
culture, said, in speaking of him:
"Never in the, history of economic
entomology in the United States has
single species of insect excited SO much
interest as has the San Jose SCALE"
This bane of orchards is native OF
Mexico and carries a Spanish name
When the entomplogists classified him
and added to his genus the word per-
niciosus they described him well, for he
is most pernicious. He has entered into
the United States, travelled over its en-.
tire extent where fruit trees grow. and
has made his entry into Europe.
1.-THE scale is the most prolific insect
in the world" said Prof. w. Benton
muller, entomologist at the American
museum of natural history, when
asked about the little creature. HE fol.
lows every line of travel where fruit
goes, soon gains alodgment, and begins
his destructive work ON the trees. Hi
takes the life out of whatever he lives
on. He draws the juices from the trees.
and the result is that their fruits shrink
and finally they die.
He is extremely difficult to get rid OF.
for besides being very prolific he is
tenacious of life. If he once gains a
Judgement incessant work is necessary
to keep him from spreading with most
disastrous results. Here is a branch
where he has been working. You can
see how he has destroyed the bark by
sapping its life away. No tree can with
stand such treatment"
The female scale does not lay eggs,
but is viviparous. and her young are
fixed on the bark of the tree they in.
habit, and are at home in less than a |
day. Then they grow and wax strong.
and in little more than a month are
parents themselves. This sort Of thing |
continues all summer and far into the |
fall, and as the first progenitor and sue
ceeding generations are living all Of this !
time, the result is easily imagined.
What is the artidote? Many have
been suggested and recommended, but |
with any it is a constant battle to make |
Roadway against The pests. There is a |
southern fungas called by the botanical
name of Sphaenostilbe coccophila,
which is said to be death to them and |
not injurious to the tree. 1t produces
a disease from which the scales die.
acid gas as fumigator is
said to kill them, and kerosene oil used |
as a wash is recommended as being |
equally fatal. Then scaIding hot water
is guaranteed to be sovereign remedy.
Any of these things is well enough if |
you reach all of the insects, but if any
escape they will soon infest a large or
