matches were also placed. The creatures
were alternately fed and allowed to go

THE SMELL OF THE ONION.
Due to the Presence OF Sulphur In
the Vegetable.

1t Is Interesting to make inquiry into
the cause of this unfortunate quality of
the onion. 1t Is simply due to the pres
ence In some quantity of another mineral
matter In the bulb-sulphur. It 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 Ia In many places-the
season for taking birthstone and treacle
In old fashioned houses before sulphur
tablets came into vogue.
Now, sulphur, when united to hydro
gen, one OF the gases OF water, forms
sulphureted hydrogen and then becomes
foul smelling, well nigh a fetid, COM
pound. The onion, being SO juicy, has q
very large percentage of water In Its It's
sues, and this, combining with the sui
phur, forms the strongly scented and Of
fensive substance called sulphuret Of al
lyle, which Is found In all the albums.
This sulphuret of allyle mingles more
especially with the volatile or aromatic
oil of the onion. It Is identical with the
malodorant principle found In asafetida,
which Is almost the symbol of all smells
that are nasty.
The horse radish. so much liked with
roast beef for Its keen and biting prop
erty, and the ordinary mustard Of our
tables both owe their strongly stimu-
latiye properties to this same sulphuret
of allyle, which gives them heat and
acridity, but not an offensive smell, ow-
ing to the different arrangement Of the
atoms in their volatile oils.
This brings US to a most curious fact
In nature, that most strangely vet most
certainly, constructs all vegetable vola-
tile oils In exactly the same way-com-
poses 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 SSl4 of carbon to
l1& of hydrogen. and obtains all the vast
seeming diversities that our nostris de-
tect in their scent simply by different
arrangement Of the atoms in each vege
table oil. Oxygen alters some of these
hydrocarbons. sulphur others.-Chambers

A patent has recently been granted
for novel railroad tie. This Is com
posed entirely of leather ground into
pulp and treated by process similar
to that with which pulp is treated to
make It into paper and cardboard
After undergoing this process the
leather is treated chemically TO make
it impenetrable by water. 1t is then
cut into strips the width and thickness
of the tie. and many of these parts are
put together TO make the length of the
tie. These parts are pressed together
under an immense pressure, which
makes the tie perfectly solid mass of
leather.

AN EFFECTIVE REeuke.
How General Lee Got An Exposed
Point Properly Fortified.

The late Major General Harry Heth
was the only man in the Confederate
army whom General Lee called by his
first name. Lee addressed even his two
sons as General" Heth had been the
friend of his youth, and Lee loved and
trusted him profoundly. Yet his love
did not cause the commander Ia chief Of
the Confederate army for a moment to
forget his duty, as is shown by an Incl
sent described in The Century.
One day before Petersburg Lee rode up
to Heth's tent and said, Harry, should
like to ride down your line"
Heth was much fiattered at the pro
posal, and as they rode side by side he
pointed out positions Of danger and van
tage. Suddenly they came upon n place
of much Importance where for several
hundred yards there were no fortifica-
tions. Surprised, Lee turned to his friend
for an explanation. Heth said that he
had ordered defenses for this spot and
had supposed them finished.
See that they are completed at once,
Harry" said Lee. and, turning his horse,
he rode back to headquarters.
After a few days the general again ap-
peared at Heth's tent with the same pro-
posal, and the delighted officer sprang to
his horse. Arrived at the Ill fated spot,
to Heth's dismay. 1t was found still open.
Without a word Lee turned toward his
tent, motioning Heth to follow. Dis
mounting, the commander In chief seat
ed himself, and the subordinate stood,
wondering what his punishment would
be. Lee spoke in his kindest tones.
Harry" he said. that horse your wife
rides worries ME more than | can tell
He kicks and fights the bit till fear he
will either break her delicate wrists or
pull her arms out of their sockets. Now
the best way TO take the edge off a nerv-
Gus horse Is TO give him plenty of exer-
cise-regular exereise-morning and night,
until he quiets down. For the sake Of
your wife as well as yourself, beg you
to make the experiment, and | know OF
no better place for you to ride the horse
while tanning him than just up and down
in front of that gap I-ordered you to have
closed until a good breastwork has been
completed. Good evening, sir"
The rebuke was given kindly, even af-
fectionately; yet the recipient declared
that he never slept a wink that night,
and for days afterward felt as IL he had
been beaten with club.
