Onions as Nerve Tonic.

A German scientist says that people
who habitually use onions are much
less liable to nervous diseases than
those who affect to despise them.
They tone up systems that are run
down and assist the digestion and as
similation of food. AS an interesting
item in this connection, the same sci
enlist says that if a sprig of parsley
is chopped fine. sprinllled with vine
gar and eaten after onions. there will
be no trace of this vegetable on the
breath. This is we'll worth knowing.
if true. and certainly it is not difficult
to try the experiment. As a further
item of interest in regard to onions, it
is claimed that they are one of the
best cleansers of the skin. and that
onion eaters, all other things being
equal, will have the finest of complex
ions. This being the case. the market
value of onions and parsley ought to
increase with great rapidity.

pretty race. but the Shamrock wasn't
in il from the start. The Columbia
took the lead ana kept it in handsome
fashion. leading by mile at the finish.
II was great victory. the greatest sport
ling achievement of the year, and every
true American thrills with pride that
our yachts and our sailors are SUN
without equals in the world. The Ia
nous trophy, won half a century ago
and 50 many times successfully de-
Tended, is to stay on this side Oh the
ocean.
The rcneated failures to sail the first
race had caused public interest IN the
races to abate somewhat. but the VIC
tory of the Columbia has caused all
apathy to disappear. The faint heart
ed are happy and the croakers are
silent. Oliver Iselin and Captain Barr
have shown how undeserved has been
the criticism heaped upon them. and
the wonderful Herrseshoff has proved
again that his peer does not live. And
incidentally. Deer Isle. on the Maine
coast, is the happiest town on the map,
for it furnished every man of the crew
that brought the Columbia over the
finish line with the fleet and feared
English yacht a mile astern. Sir
Thomas Upton is true sportsman
and a gentleman, but the Yankee can
not spare that cup. Now may the
next two races be equally clean and
decisive victories for our yacht.
