god which squatted on the handsome
ly-carved table. He applied match
and the sweet-scented smoke curled
in thin grayish wreaths toward the
ceiling of the joss house. Then he
seated himself and muttered in gut
chant. The high priest struck a brass
gong which emitted deep sonorous
clang. More joss sticks were lighted
and the temple became odorous with
the insinuating incense. The lights in
the little square metallic lamps sus-
pended from the ceiling burned low
in green and red and yellow and from
the dim flames was reflected a mellow
glow from the Big gold bas relief rep
resenting the glory of the ancestors
for a hundred years. There was some

SCENT IT'S WORST QUALITY

the Onion Would he High
~ Popular.

Il is interesting to make inquiry lsto
the cause of this unfortunate quaHty
of the onion. It is simply due to she
presence in some quantity Of another
mineral matter in the bulb-sulphHr.
1t is this sulphur that gives the onion
its germ-killing property and makes
the bulb SO very useful . medicipaI
agent at all times, but especially in ihe
spring, which used to be-and still II in
many places-the season for taking
birthstone and treacle in old-fashio$ed
houses before sulphur tablets came ifto
vogue, says q writer in ChamberS jour
nal.
Now, sulphur, when united to hydro.
gen, one of the gases Of water, foams
sulphuretted hydrogen and then ibe-
comes . foul-smelling. well-nigH
fetid, compound. The onion. being 80
juicy, has . very large percentagt OF
water in its tissues, and this, combilsin8
with the sulphur, forms the strongly
scented and offensive substance called
sulphuret of allyle. which is foun$ In
all the albums. This sulphuret Of al
lyle mingles more especially with ssthe
volatile or aromatic oil Of the onion;
Il is identical with the alodorant rrin-
ciple found in asafoetida. which Il al.
most the symbol Of all smells thafare

with roast beef for its keen and bling
property, and the ordinary musta1d OF
our tables both owe their stroAgly
stimulative properties to this samejsul-
phuret Of allyle, which gives tsem
heat and acridity, but not an oher5sive

RISE ABOVE 1T.

Whatsoever i'll befall
Learn to rise above 1t all:
Hear the voice of duty call;
Join your comrades in the strife.
Though the shaft of sorrows dart
Rankles in your bleeding heart
Hide your grief, and do your part.
This is life.
Why become a slave to chancef
Why be crushed by circumstance?
Rise above it, and advance
Over all adversely.
You're king, and can create
For yourself your own estate:
You are master of your fates
You are free. -e
AL of this is ancient lore,
Often has been said before
But I'd tell It Ger and o,er.
Sing 1t TO the heart of youth.
Howsoever Tong It's told;
Tbs a lesson never old,
For IT bears a thread Of gold
1T Is truth.
Rise above the petty things
That would bind your spirit wings:
Hear the inner voice that sings
Songs of beauty all the while.
Drive the demon of Despair
From your heart; and. free and fair,
Meet the broods of grief and care
With smile.
circumstances make us not
Lie rs substance to be wrought
In the workshop of our thought;
We can mold it as we will.
All the hardships that alright.
If we brave them. take their flight.
They are tests to try our might
And our skill. y
Re not buffeted about
By the things that lie without:
lie not ruled by fear and doubt:
Dare to worship toward the dawn:
Dare believe in truth and right;
Dare to seek the higher light;
And the Wisdom Infinite
Follow on.
Spite of calumny and threat,
Dare to have purpose set.
Keep it: and do not forget
You are monarch of your own.
Dare pursue, against the stream,
Your ideal and your dream.
Keep your soul king supreme
On his throne.
'Tis not difficult to teach.
There is naught so cheap as speech.
There's a reason why preach
will tell to you alone:
The poor. weak and faltering heart
! would make forget its smart
AND would steel to do its part.
Is my own.
