VIRTUES OF THE ONION.

Itis with the onion as with the lemon Its devotees regard it as panacea for a good many ills and as a preventive of many of the disorders to which flesh is heir.
 The onion is really very ordinary vegetable, but there is one point which distinguishes it, and that is the some what high percentage of sulphur it contains. Possibly the virtues ascribed to it depend on the presence of this element.
 Like the lemon, the onion may lay claim to antiscorbutic properties that is, to qualities which render it a preventive of scurvy. It's mineral constituents include proportion of potash salts, and probably it's anti scorbutic qualities depend upon these latter compounds.
 The onion is doubtless healthful enough vegetable, but it's supposed sleep-producing powers are said to be mythical. The virtue of onion juice as remedy for theNstings and wasp att tacks is conceded. In the cottager's repertoire of "first-aid" expedients. onion juice, rubbed on the sting, rep resents the ammonia of more ad- yanced stare of domestic medicine.

The Ants of Council Bluffs.

A curious menace to brick street paving has come to light in Council Bluffs, Ia. Numerous ants began burrowing into the sand beneath the bricks and removed so much of it to other and unknown quarters that the city engineer was called in to re- pair the damages. One street was made unfit for travel for several blocks. While Investigating what was going on, the officials witnessed a battle between an army of red and black ants. The latter were in- trenched in their home, when the for mer made a raid upon them, routing and driving them out. The reds swarmed across the street and moved in solid array some 50 feet down the avenue, there attacked the enemy, broke into their home, and carried of a large number of eggs. The battle was sanguinary, and lasted fully half an hour.-N. Y Times.

WHAT MEN SMOKE.
The Taste of Cigar Consumers Has Changed Greatly Within the
 Past Few Years.

"The taste of men in their choice o1 cigars" said a dealer to reporter relates the Washington Star, "has un- dergone great change recently.
 Some years ago our customers de manded black, or maduro, cigars. The color known to tie trade as colorado maduro, or medium dark colored ci- gars, were second choice, and light colored, or colorado or -claro, had third call.
 ''Now it is the cigar with light col ored wrapper that has first call. The strong cigar has dropped to third place. In fact, it is almost impossible at times to supply the demand for colorado or claro wrappers, and, men being animals of habit, they are very insistent in their demands for just the shade they think is right.
 'I well remember that I used to soak in a liquor obtained from de- coction of steeped tobacco leaves all of my light colored wrappers to make them very dark. Now they have proc esses for partially bleaching the leaf. During the SpanishA-merican war, when Havana tobacco was scarce or cornered, that grade and the Key West cigars were very dark, and it tried our patience listening to com plaints. The quality, too, was poor. The mild or medium cigar is the best favored. The strong, heavy cigar is sure death to the nervous system; and it may be that men, after years of experience, are finding it out, and are adopting the lighter grades in con- sequence.
 1.-The sorting of cigars into the diff ferent grades is skilled employment by itself, just as the women experts in the bureau of engraving and print ing can by glance reject a sheet of paper which will eventually become money from the thousands that daily pass through their hands, if it be too lightly or too heavily printed. The expert cigar sorter makes a similar classification, and with marvellous rapidity. See this newly-opened box? As 1 hold it to the light each cigar is graded exactly and prettily as to color. Each cigar went through sew eral landings, finally to be tossed in bunch of a similar grade and then packed in the box. It is the wrapper that sells the cigar, as men take for granted the quality of the filler or ac- cept the dealers words

(Iiot got to his office he found among the mail on his desk a somewhat dirty and rumpled letter which was post marked at a logging town in the big woods of northern Wisconsin. For some reason he laid aside much more important business letters bearing on some big contracts and tore open this disreputable envelope. It con- tained a sheet of paper evidently torn from an old account book, and the writing was painfully crooked and laborious.
 ''Mr. William Elliot, Esq.," it began. Dear Bill: I thought would write you letter to let you know that the muslSies are biting like the devil this spring in the south fork of the Flambeau. The ice has all been out for three weeks, and me and Murph have jus come back from polin' up to the lake. We caught 1s-pound cuss at the foot of Little Bull rap ids, and up at Fishtrap we got about dozen big pike in half an hour There has been high watssR this spring in all the lakes, so the fish could get up through the creeks, and I miss my guess if they ain't the best fishing this spring we ever seen in this coun- try.
 Say, you remember that bunch of bass we pulled out of them sunk tree tops at the mouth of Squaw creek? Me an Murph stopped there last Fri day and we yanl1ed IS out in 20 min utes. And we got a lot of strikes casting around the shore near the Pork Barrel with frogs the next morning.
 "Murph and me has both got a new canoe, extry wide and 30 feet long. We pinched the trees down on the reservation this winter and got 'em down the river without the Injuns ever gettin' on to us.
 ''If you're thinl1in' about coming up this spring you better bring about eight dozen frogs along and mebbe you better send me a telegraft mes sage, so I kin get everything all ready. Ed Johnson was over frum Milwaukee already and had a good ketch. We'll, good-by, until see you again, frum
 "Andy, the bum guide.'"
 Elliot read the letter over again. Then he laid it down on his desk and walked over to his partners desk.
 'Frawlett,'' he sad, ''I'ye just found out what's the matter with me. I'm suffering from severe att tack of muskellunge on the brain. I've been to the best doctor in town, but he couldn't do a thing for me didn't even know what was the mat ter with me. Just now I got letter

A Giant Variable Star,

In the constellation Gemini is a well-known variable star, Zeta, of less than the third magnitude when brightest, which, according to an es- timate recently set forth by Miss Ag- nes NJ. Clerke, may be ranked among the giants of starry space. The com parative insignifcance of Zeta Ge- minorum among the visible stars ap- pears to be due to its enormous dis tance. If removed equally far away, our sun would be only one thirty seventh as bright as Zeta Geminorum when at it's maximum brightness, and Miss Clerke computes the gravi- tative power of the star at 225 times that of the sum- Observatory.

from my old north woods guide, Andy and he diagnoses my case to the dot. He says muslSies are biting like the devil this spring, and he says if I'm coming up this spring to wire him. I've sent him message already and I'm going up tomorrow night to stay over Sunday. To-morrow's a Holiday, anyhow, and we close at noon on Saturday, so I'll only lose half day. I want to go fishing that's what's the matter with me. I got to get my hook in a musky. I'm feeling like different man already
 When Elliot told his wife about it that evening she smiled indulgently.
 'sI thought that was what was the matter with you" she said, "but I knew you'd be furious if I should sug- gest it. Anyway, I'm relieved to know it is nothing more serious.''- Chicago Tribune.

EXCAVATIONS OF NOTED MEN

Gibbon. the historian, relieved the tedium of his labors by absolute idleness.
 Chatterton had passion, amount ing to a mania, for studying old manuscripts.
 Martin Luther heartily enjoyed a game of nine-pins, and John Calvin threw dice with zest.
 Richter divided his leisure about equally between white spider. a tame mouse and squirrel. The author of "An Elegy in a Country Church Yard'' esteemed it the acme of happiness to lie on a sofa and read novels. Rossini, when not engaged upon musical compositions, manufactured macaroni, and achieved great suc- cess in that direction.
 Razzi, a distinguished pupil of the renowned Florentine painter, Andrea del Sarto, filled his studio with ami mals until it resembled a menagerie.
 Oliver Cromwell, that stern old Puritan, whenever he found an op- portunity to do so, had a game of "blind-man's buff" with his children.
 Cardinal Richelieu frequently neg 1ected his ministerial duties that. he might have frolic with his cats and kittens, of which he had large col lection.
 Mime. de Maintenon, who for 30 years was queen of the French court under Louis XVI, passed her leisure moments in ministering to the wants of the poor and needy.
 Edgar A. Poe, the brilliant Ameri- can writer, discovered inexpressible satisfaction in wandering through graveyards. And the same is said to be true of witty and genial Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Waterbury Democrat., 1901-08-06

DON'T know what's the matter
 with me-" said Elliot to his wife at the breakfast table. "I am rest less and almost feyerish at times. It isn't so bad here. at home, but the moment get down into the city begin to feel worse. I am so restless and irritable that the boys in the office are talking about it. I have to force myself to work, and this aft ernoon lost a good contract simply because I felt too badly to quarrel with old man Harkins over the pre- iminaries. I don't seem to take any interest in anything"
 You'd better see Dr. Robinson" said his wife.
 That afternoon Elliot went over to the doctors office and described his symptoms to the sympathetic physi- elan.
 '.There don't seem to be anything definite the matter with you," said the doctor "We'n wait and see what develops Come in and see me again in week.
 Going home that evening on the train Elliot sat in front of two young men who were talking so ear
