1t is a common thing to see a bicycle with
a sail going before the wind for a thirty
mile spin down the coast. without touch
ing a pedal-and the railroad brings the
bicycle rider and sail safely home at night
1t reminds one of that famous story of
Stockton. where a man took a nautical
friend out driving, both being nearly
drowned by the breaking of a bridge over
a lake. and the next day they went out
boating. and in being towcd through a
canal the horse ran away.

Much Virtue in an Onion.

The idea of an onion cure may not
strike the fancy of the esthetic; how
ever, the experience of those that have
tried it is that 1t works wonders in re-
storing an old-racked system to its
normal state again. There are three
kinds Of doses in the onion cure, or
three onion cures, as you may choose
to put 1t. One is diet Of onions, the
other is onion plasters and the third is
onion sirup.
1t is claimed by those who believe
in the onion cure that bad cold can
be broken up il the patient will stay
indoors and feed on liberal diet Of
onions. 1t need not be an exclusive
diet, but liberal one. For instance,
an onion cure breakfast includes a
poached egg on toast, three table
spoonfuls OF fried onion and cup OF
coffee. Luncheon of sandwiches, made
Of Boston brown bread, buttered and
filed with finely chopped raw onions,
seasoned with salt and pepper, makes
the second meal on the schedule. For
supper the onions may be fried as for
breakfast and eaten with chop and a
baked potato.
The strange efficacy Of onions Is we'll
known to the singers OF Italy and
Spain, who eat them every day to Inn
prove the quality OF their voices and
keep them smooth. Onion plasters
are prescribed to break up hard coughs.
They are made OF dried onions placed
between two pieces Of old muslin. The
plaster is kept quite hot until the
patient is snugly in bed, when 1t Is
placed on the chest to remain over
night. Onion syrup is dose that can
be bought OF any druggist and Is
claimed by some to be unequaled as a
cure for cold in the chest.
All this is probably quite true. For
| to be done up with onions, both inside
and out, would be enough certainly 70
chase out any self-respecting cold.

Girl Let Fate Decide,

Lewis, whose home is few miles west
Of Muscogee, pursued a novel method
to-day in selecting a husband from her
three suitors.
Miss Lewis was unable to determine
which OF the three she desired to
marry, and became engaged to all
three she desired to marry, promising
to wed each of them on the same day.
The three procured marriage licenses,
each being ignorant Of the action Of
the others.
When the day arrived, Miss Lewis
decided to let fate settle 1t for her by
marrying the one to arrive first with a
license. Thomas Burley was the first
and Miss Lewis promptly married
him. When the other suitors, Stephen
Waugh and Lee Griffith, arrived, she
