An odorless Onion.

The latest product of scientific propa-
CATION is the odorless onion Just how
an onion can be odorless and still re-
main an onion Is not explained. To
most people the odor is all there is of
an onion and that is enough The elm

a vegetable of such long and strong
standing in natural history ought to be
reckoned among the proudest achieve

of that delicious tang and the pene-

hardly be an onion. The palate which
loves onions will not recognize it; call
ing whitened, innocuous, insipid,
plated bulb an onion will not make it

No true lover of onions will hail this
new invasion of Science. He eats his
onion at dead of night, in silence and
solitude. He rejoices in it and sleeps
upon it. The incense of his praise fills
the room and soothes him to delicious
sleep. He rises in the morning after

pioneers or the few Americans who had
penetrated thus far into the wilderness
for furs. Out through Deaths Door
they came, and up the lake to Chicago,
and from this struggling hamlet across
the lake to Michigan City. There
where great city was expected to
grow Judge Talcot left the boat and
soon after settled in st. Joseph County.
He has lived in that vicinity nearly
ever since, and most of the time at
Valparaiso.
Even in his youth he was a thinker
along original lines. Having when a
boy been given a scholarship in college
by church educational society, he be-
came convinced during his freshman
year that the creed of the church which
was supporting him was narrow and
was founded on myths and traditions.
He therefore resigned the scholarship
and proceeded to study by himself
After he came to Indiana the Brook
Farm cOmmuniStic experiment was
made and cooperation and sOcialistic
colonies became much talked about
The young Talcot took the lead in
Northern Indiana-in which there were
scattered farming settlements and
small towns-and in 1914 started the
Philadelphia Industrial Association.
Land was secured near South Bend,
about two miles from the original town
site, on the river, and house and 9TH

Instinct of Cats.

The instinct of animals in the mat
ter of self-preservation is curiously IL
lustrated, says the New Orleans
Times Democrat, by the fact that sew
eral dozen cats found refuge during
the Ottawa fire in wooden house
which, although the buildings on each
side were burning down, refused to
catch fire and remained intact. Cats
have a peculiar gift in this direction,
since, in addition to their reputed nine
lives, there is popular superstition
that they will only eat what is good
for them.
This may or may not be a failacy,
but the instinct Of self-preservation,
which Is common to all animals, ex-
cept, perhaps, horses (who, being very
bags Of nerves, will during a fire be-
have with suicidal obstinacy), has
been proved time and again. The rats
which, in practice as well as in theory,
desert the ship which is no longer sea-
worthy, are a notable example of IT;
and there are many animal lovers who
would not consider it any way extrav
agant to suggest that the quacking of
the geese in the capitol was due to a
knowledge on their part of the facts
that the entry of the enemy would
mean the cutting Of their throats.
while the rousing of the Romans would
earn them a debt of gratitude and per.
sonal immunity from the poulferer's q
shop windows.

AN INGENIOUS cALcL LAToR.

Chinese Invention Remarkable for

A calculator remarkable for it's sim
piicity and ingenuity and entirely dif-
ferent from other machines which en-
pioy series of tapes, has been patent
ed by Chow Ling Shang, of. Macao,
China, and is described in the Scientific
American. The device considerably
simplifies multiplication and division.
Our illustrations show the complete
apparatus and one of the tapes EN-
ployed.
y Upon base of wood or other materi-
al guides are secured which form pass
ages for series of endless tapes. In
our i. illustration the tapes are desig-
mated by the Roman numerals l., H.,
Ill, ~, etc. Each tape is longitudin-
ally divided into two columns and into
groups of nine numerals each. In the
first group all the figures are zeroes; IN
the second group the numbers II TO
..9' are inscribed; in the third group the
number ''2'' and its multiples up to ''lS''
are written, the units being in the right
hand column and the tens in the left
hand column. In the next groups are
the multiples of 3, 4, ETC., up to the
multiples of 8, after which the multi,
Piles to 9 appear in the center of the
tape, the division of the tape into two
columns being abandoned at that point

Instances in Which Courteous Men
Have Found Po1iteness Profitable,
Many years ago the late DR.. Snlppen,
of Philadelphia, left his house in early
morning and was hurrying down the
street when he noticed a singular and
ferocious-looking man, whose gaze was
fastened upon him. With instructive
politeness and bonhommie he smiled,
raised his hat and passed ON, when sud-
denly he heard shot. Turning he
found that the stranger had just left
his home with the insane intention of
killing the first man he met. He was
the first man; but his absolute fearless
ness and constitutional as well as cult
waited courtesy had put the man off his
guard, and the next passer-by had
caught the bullet intended for him.
That smile and bow had saved his life.
When the country was century
younger and the Indian was yet in the
land, a gentleman Upon the then from
tier was hunting with friends, got sep
arated from them. and completely lost
his way. Every effort to retrieve his
steps led him still further into the will
derness, and night overlook him in a
dense forest. Overcome with fatigue,
he lay down under tree and slept pro-
foundly. In the morning he awoke
with start, with that indescribable
feeling that some one was looking at
him, and, glancing up, he saw that he
was surrounded by hostile Indians, and
that the leader of the band, in war paint
and feathers, was bending over him in
no amiable mood.
He took in the situation at glance
knew his immediate danger, and had
no means of ayerting it; neither did he
understand word of their language.
But he was self-possessed, knew the
universal language of nature, and be-
lieved that even under the war paint
and feathers "a mans a man for a.
that" He fixed his clear, bold eve up
on the Indian, and-smiled! Gradually
the fierceness passed away from the
eye above him, and at last an answer
ing smile came over the face. Both
were men-both were brothers-and he
was saved! The savage took him under
his protection, brought him to his wig
wan, and after few days restored
him to his friends. Courage, self-com-
mand, and tact had gained the day

by noting for each tape the number con-

product sought. The figuring of other
products is readily understood from
this example. To multiply by number
larger than 1O the well-known method
of adding the results of partial multi
plications is employed.
In division the calculator is employed
to find multiples of the divisor and to
do aWay with tedious multiplication.
In dividing 212,425 by S.497, for in
stance, 21,242 is divided by S.497, as
usual, giving as the first figure in the
quotient; the calculator may be used
for this operation, since it shows that

double Q6,994 and the triple (25.491) OF
S,497. Twice S,497 is then read off as
1894, and subtracted from 21,242
leaving 4,24S. To this remainder is
added the last figure, 5; and 42,4S5 is
then divided by S,497. The machine
shows at glance that 42.4S5 is eGua
to 5 multiplied by s.497. The result OF
the division is therefore 25.

and plans for larger houses, but after
two and half years of existence the
colony finally disbanded.
After that Mr. Talcot was elected
Judge of the Court of Common Pleas,
with jurisdiction over six counties. He
held this Office fifteen years. He had
been before this owner and editor of
the local paper-the Valparaiso Vidette
and after resigning from the bench
again took charge of the paper and con-
Quoted 1t for thirty years. In the early
years he found it necessary often to
set and print as well as write the paper.
Having been thus in the public eye
for three score years, Judge Talcot has
come to have great influence among the
people of Porter County. He has kept
to his free thought, and is now leader
in the DIR. Thomas branch of the Peo-
pies Church in that city. Judge Talcot
is as keen in putting forth his reform
ideas to-day as at any time in his
earlier life, and in them he has the un-
qualified support of his wife. The lat
ter was for many years teacher of
penmanship in the collegiate Insti-
tute" of Valparaiso, and was close
friend of Judge Talcot and his first
wife.
"There are two things for people to
do to be happy and be healthy" says
Mrs. Talcot. ''They must live plainly
and they must sleep at night instead of
half the daytime. Early to bed and
early to rise is wise motto and plain
living is another. In our opinion an
expenditure of $500 year for two peo-
pie would be great extravaganza. To
be sure, we have no rent to pay and
we have milk sent to us by Mr.. Talcot's
son, but even if we had these things to
pay for we would not need to spend
$500 year. We do not stint ourselves,
but we follow wise creed by living
plainly when we are at home or when

Do Fishes Feel the Cold?

There is no doubt that fishes, particu-
larly many of those who inhabit
fresh water, feel the cold, and that
this accounts for their moving in the.
winter to deep water, when they have
the opportunity of doing so. Some fish
are much more affected than others
by severe cold. Swanson mentions an
instance of number of fine tench hav-
ing been found dead in pond, after
the break up of frost, and, as a
proof of vitality in other fish. he states
that, in northern latitudes, eels and
perch have retained their vitality when
frozen into solid blocks of ice, and
that advantage has been taken of the
fact to remove them from one locality
to another.

white of hair, has as fresh color IN
her cheeks as a girl of 10, and does
every day all the .housework about

Though the diet on which this is ac-
complished will appear to many people
barren of everything that makes the
table attractive, yet the two who nave
long made it their own declared that
desire for other things quickly disap-
peared when they reSorted TO it, and
that they neither want nor need aQul-
tions to it. The rule of their table pro-
vides in general that their meals shall
consist chiefly of cereal products with
milk and sugar. They eat generally
for breakfast oatmeal mush and milk
and sugar For dinner bread and milk
and sugar, and for supper cornmeal
mush and sugar. They vary this
slightly from time to time with other
cereal foods, and when they feel a
taste for it add a bit of meat, for neith-

GEN. ZEBUlON YORK.


An Able Lawyer and One of the Con-
federacy's Bravest Generals.
The recent death OF General Zebulon
York at his home in Natchez, Miss.
closed the career of one of the brayest
generals of the Confederacy. Gen. York
was also an able lawyer and a Elanta-
ton owner. He was born in Maine in
1919, but his education was obtained
principally in Southern schools. After
graduating in law from the Louisiana
University he opened an office in vi
dalia, La, and was soon recognized as
one of the ablest lawyers in the State.
He invested his earnings in plantations
and negroes, and soon had, besides his
law business, a dourishing field yield
ing a handsome revenue.
When the Civil War broke out Attor-

ney York raised company which be-
came a part of the Fourteenth Louis-
ana Regiment. He fought in many of
the great battles of the war and was
noted for his dash and bravery. He
was wounded number of times and
arose from the position of captain to
that of brigadier general. After the war
he set to work to again build up for
tune on the ruins of his once happy
home. For some years preceding his
death he lived in Natchez and there ac-
quired wealth and honor. He was not

married until 1885 and his marriage
was somewhat romantic. On bleak
January day during the war he met a
timid schoolgirl in Richmond, Va, who
was destined to become his wife. Their
meeting and engagement had tinge of
romance. The romance was only con-
cluded Aug. 25, 1885, when the General
led to his Buck Ridge plantation his
mature and polished wife, whose fine
talent and facile pen had long been a
source Of comfort and happiness to
both
