The distressing flow of tears as
well as the smarting of the eyes that
attiict those preparing onions for
cooking or for the table may be
easily avoided by means at the com
mand of everyone. The pungent odor
which affects the delicate membrane
surrounding the eyes is due to a
sulphurous oil which yolatlizes rapid.

is broken in any way. TO avoid the
effects of this yapor is easy if a
small pared potato is stuck in the
end of the knife with which the cut.

is not manifest to the operator till
the potato has reached certain de.

readily replaced by another.
Onions are among the finest nerve
tonics we have, and if spring onions
are chopped and spread between
sliced bread and butter they form a
sandwich which, if eaten at supper
time, will do great deal toward in
surfing a good nights sleep.

LIE OLD SPRING.

A path that leads from the kitchen door
Through a little garden plot,
Down past the cherry and apple trees
That grow In the pasture lot,
Thence or through a beechen avenue
TIL you hear the waters thrill
Upon the pebbles ard over the stones
BY the old spring under the hill!
The old spring Ender the hin Is COOL
With blOtches and riffs Of sun;
Its air is grateful and fresh and sweet
As he air Of summer dawn.
The song Of bird IN the trees above,
Below the song Of a rill.
Are the only sounds that are heard around
The old spring under the hill.
How oft we have trudged in other days,
When boys and girls at our play,
To the shades and stiffness Of that old
spring,
Remote from the garish day!
How oft by its sparkling waters clear
We have kneIt and quaffed our fiji!
And never dr. uPht was so sweet as that
From the old spring under the hill.
The years are many, the years are long,
Between US and that fair time;
We hear no more the tinkling song,
Nor the waters silver chime;
But Oft In the mirror Of memory
We can see the image stll
OF the winding pathway, the shadows deep,
And the old spring under the hill.

SOLUTION OF A MYSTERY.
Alarming Appearance of Words In
Spider webs at Toledo and

Toledo's wonderful spider web mys-
terry has at last been cleared up. Sew

plain letters on spider web appeared
the words MY jim" and Murder"
What made the denizens of that local
ity shudder every time they looked at
it or thought about it was the fact
that the web was spun al the corner of
a house in which Jim Lee, a colored
man, had been murdered day or two
before. The letters were of white,
while the web appeared few shades
darker. Yet it was the belief of ev-
erybody who saw it that it could not
have been the work of human hands,
reports a Toledo CORES ondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Names appeared on other spider
webs, but the mystery remained un-
solved until a Mrs. Leggett, who
came here from Detroit, said her
husband made the letters. She made

Sewer Gas Kills Trees.

Experts have come TO the conclu-
sion that what kills so many trees in
London is not SCOT flakes or the want
of air or the drought, but the sewer
gas, which attacks the roots, so that
the tree soon withers and dies.
