How to Cure Onions.

HOW 10 ture OhIOhss
Red and yellow onions should be
pulled when the tops begin to lap and
are still slightly green so they lie read
lily, when they are made into round
piles. White onions must be pulled
green. Part of the crop must be sacri-'
feed in order to secure that color
which is necessary to bring the first
price. Red and yellow varieties can
be safely left in these round piles until
the middle of September, when they
should be well cured. They are then
opened for Il day or two before cart
ing to Slated bins in the barn. Plenty
of air should be given. Many of our
largest growers have onion barns,
where they keep a fire in winter, but
we have banked our onions well on
approach OF severe weather and have
never had any trouble in keeping them
for the spring market-in fact, we
think that they are less liable to sprout
than where n fire is kept. We cart our
onions as wanted in the winter to a
basement cellar, where they are pre-
pared for market, writes a Connecticut
grower to Rural New Yorker

BERNHARDTs EARNINGS.
Thinks American Tour Will Net Her
5000 90.

A woman who was born in the Latin
quarter of Paris, the daughter of poor
dressmaker, has begun a tour of Amer
lea as the most celebrated actress OF
the day, and from this tour expects to
return to France with earnings amount
ing approximately to $685. 00
At so years of age this woman will
play the part of a mere youth. It is this
woman of whom Chicago humorist,
in $780, wrote, that IAN empty carriage
drove up to the theater early last even
ing and Sarah BeTnhardt got out"
Those were the days when the celebrity
was thinner than now, and when the
cornic-paper cartoonist and the funny
paragrapher reveled in her pres
ence; when it was not so diff
cult to believe that she could
take a dip in a gun barrel and dress
herself in a shoe lacing. These hum
oFs did not fail to stimulate the curiosity
over her during this first tour, and SO
much was written of her at that time
so much that was purest fction-for ir-
ritation and a sense of humor on the
mart of the actress often led her into
strange vagaries when representatives
of the press We're about, and aided in
giving a very distorted view OF her
that during her later visits everything
has been devoted to her work and her
personal appearance, and little to her
career.
one day she happened to enter a Pro
testant church and heard the minister
denounce her as an imp of darkness, a
female demon, sent from the modern Ba-
bylon to corrupt the new world" Be
fore the day was over the clergyman re-
ceived this note:
MY Dear Confrere: Why attack me
so violently? Actors ought not to be
hard on one another.
SARAH BERNHARDT'
Her second American tour, made in
the season of 1S86-'87, again served to re-
vive her eccentricities and again gave the
hurnorists scope, but her last tour, made
III 1895, found her greatly changed phys
ically and less inclined to- newspaper
notoriety. Financially this tour was not
so successful as her first-during that
she is said to have earned $185, 900 in
166 performance@bu she left America
that she had made her final tour here
And yet after an absence of five years
she has returned with new triumphs and
still evidencing the ren1aTlxa BILE vitality
and youth that were wonderful TO con-
template five years ago. She is the one
woman in the world that does not grow
old
The estimate of s5O00OO is made con-
tingent on possibilities, although, in any
event, Nine. Bernhard will not leave
these shores poorer than when she came.
Her contract with Maurice Grau calls
for 81, 600 a performance, and a liberal
percentage of the receipts. Just how
much this percentage amounts to has
not been told, but there have been many
shrewd guesses, and one may be sure
that Sarah Bernhardt will not come to
the United States unless she receives
e.oodly allowance. Her friends say
that it will not be less than per
cent of the gross receipts One may
imagine what this will amount to
