THE SCENT OF THE ONION.

By Any Other Name 1t Would Be as Far
from sweet.
1t is interesting to make inquiry into
the cause of this unfortunate quality
of the onion. 1t is simply due to the
presence in some quality Of another
mineral matter in the bulb-sulphur.
1t is this sulphur that gives the onion
its germ-killing property and makes
the bulb so very useful medicinal
agent at all times, but especially in
the spring, which used to be-and still
is in many places-the season for tax
ing birthstone and treacle in old-fash-
ioned houses before sulphur tablets
came into vogue.
Now, sulphur, when united in hy-
drogen, one of the gases of water,
forms sulphurated hydrogen and then
becomes a foul-smelling, we'll nigh a
fetid, compound. The onion, being so
juicy, has a very large percentage of
water in its tissues, and this, combin-
ing with the sulphur, forms the
strongly scented and offensive sub
stance called sulphuret of allyle, which
is formed in all the albums. This sui
phuret of allyle mingles more especial
ly with the volatile or aromatic oil of
the onion; it is identified with the
malodorant principle found in asafoe-
tida. which is almost the symbol OF
all smells that are nasty. The horse
radish, so much liked with roast beef
for it's keen and biting property, and
the ordinary mustard of our tables
both owe their strongly stimulative
properties to this same sulphuret OF
allyle, which gives them heat and acri'
dity. but not an offensive smell, owing
to the different arrangements of the
atoms in their volatile oils.
This brings us to most curious
fact in nature, that most strangely,
vet most certainly constructs all vege-
table volatile oils in exactly the same
way-composes them ALL whether they
are the aromatic essences of cloves,
oranges, lemons, cinnamon, thyme.
rose, verbena, turpentine or onion. OF
exactly the same proportions, which
are S1$4 of carbon to 11& of hydrogen.
and obtains all the vast seeming di-
versities that our nostrils detect In
their scent simply by different ar
rangement of the atoms in each yege-
table oil. Oxygen alters some of the
hydro -carbons; sulphur others.-Cham-
bers's Journal.

A Tragedy of Drink.

1t is amazing to what depths strong
drink and rowing instinct will bring a
man. There walked into my town the
other day tramp printer who secured
employment at his trade. He is young
fellow under thirty, but he tells remark
able tale of his ups and downs, giving am
pie confirmation of all his story, which
he related in modest manner after some
questioning. This common tramp, now
working daily at the case, is the son of
wealthy printer and publisher and has
luxurious home, if he would but go to it.
He is a graduate of Yale College, and has
worked on nearly all the New York papers
as reporter. He was once the editor of
prosperous small town daily; he is a
machine operator, and understanding Ger
man, French and Spanish, can operate the
machines in those languages, and besides
this he knows the printing business from
top to bottom. However, with all his tai
ents, strong drink has mastered him, and
he has degenerated into a tramp. 1t
seems pity.

Low Crowns.

Although a great variety of shapes
are seen in the new hats, some posi-
lively eccentric in their blaZarre out
lines, there is little doubt that the
model with sweeping circular brim,
set on broad. extremely low crown,
has the palm of 'grand chic" If you
notice such things you become aware
that the shape of such a hat is ex-
actly right for showing off the long,
curling ostrich feather and the demi-
wreath of roses, which are the two
conspicuous favorite modes of decor
ating millinery in the present season.
For a mid-season hat choose one with

Pail That is Always Full.

There is one pail that is perpetually
full. That is the beer bucket, and its full
ness means emptiness for others, means
scanty wage and pitiful fare, even for the
workingman who never drinks, because
the money that should go to make de
mand for the product of his strength and
skill, goes instead to the till of the sa-
loonkeeper. The fullness of the beer pail
means gaunt famine in the homes of drink
ing men-starving, half-clad, half-frozen
children and despairing women, means
scrimped living and harassing scantiness
in the home of the honest and sober la.
borer, because of the economic waste of
more than billion dollars every year.
American labor will never be fully en-
ployed and well paid until the beer pail
is empty and the door of the den where
it is filed closed fast, and the political !
and as well its chief opponent whose stock
in trade is usually believed to be ''calam-
ity," both lovingly agree to keep the beer
pail full and the saloon wide open.-New
