Natures Own Remedy.

The medicinal value Of the onion has
long been understood and appreciated
as home remedy for various ills, es-
pecially when taken in the form OF
onion diet. But for external applica-
ton, 1t is seldom used, as few seem
to realize its value in this capacity.
In these days Of sudden changes IN
temperature, with the complaints OF
earache, diphtheria and pneumonia on
every hand, 1t is well to give 1t trial.
for the onion has long been known al
Natures own remedy. AS a poultice

strated its efficacy, and many In
stances might be quoted where IN case
of diphtheria or pneumonia 1t hal

For a severe earache put your swee
o{l and ,audanum on the shelf, get twt
or three good-sized onions, peel ant

Another Irish Bull.

In the lobby of the house two mem
bers of Parliament were discussing the
honor being paid to Ireland and Irish
troops.
One was a Scotchman, the other an
Irishman.
The man from Scotland said, con-
descendingly:
"It's a very weel to praise the Irish
soldiers" and he proceeded to explain
that while he was glad they were to
wear the shamrock on st. Patrick's
day, it must not be forgotten that the
Highlanders had been fighting bravely
too; "they expected no special mark
of favor for their services, they were
always ready to brave death for theil
queen, and their loyalty was beyond
reproach."
| The Irishman interrupted indignant
ly:

Diamond Ring In a Hogs Stomach.

A remarkable story comes from the
town of Hornby, N. Y. Three years
ago Miss Mary Smith, who has since
married Peter Hagancamp, attended
husking bee at the home Of her uncle,
George Smith. During the evening she
lost q diamond ring she had been
wearing, and it was thought that 1t
had fallen from her finger among the
ears of corn. A thorough search did
not disclose the ring. Later, for some
reason, suspicion fell on a Western
visitor in Hornby, and when she left
the village the ring had not been
found.
George Smith killed four-year-old
hog q few days ago, and in cutting uI
the animal found the ring In the stom-
ach. 1t was battered and discolored
The only explanation seems to be tina
the hog swallowed the ring in eating
husks after the bee at Smiths thre'
years before, and that 1t had remained
in the animals stomach ever since.
Mrs. Haganeamp, who always be
lieved that the ring was stolen. Is nov
irving to learn the whereabouts of tn
suspected woman, to apologize to bel

He was a station hand In from
three months spell of work, during
which he had tasted no other meat
than mutton. Also he suffered badly.
His eyes fairly leaped at the stuffed
turkey on the hotel dinner table,
though the boiled mutton made him
shiyer. Said the host: What will you
try. Mr.. Straps?" Eagerly: "rll t-try

II doesn't pay to fuss and fret when
anything goes wrong,
Instead of wailing when you lose, Just
sing a merry song.
It's always better while you WORK 70

And when luck fails, 1t never pays to
sit down and repine.
The man who makes the best OF things
shows sturdy common sense.
The chances are that he will rise 70

And women all will envy and congrat
