A WAR ON THE ONION.

A campaign against that odorous
edible esteemed everywhere for it's
strong SAVIOR of virtueS-the onion
is being waged at Portsmouth, Ohio.
To trace the origin of the crusade;
A lecturer before the Alliance OF
Woman's clubs said that the onion
had no value as food. that it had no
taste. appealing only to the sense of
smell.
The friends of the down-trOdden
vegetable had the spunk to defend it.
That made trouble in the town. The
ensuing debate estranged friends and
stopped one marriage.
Finally in the effort to settle the
dispute the alliance passed resolu-
tons CHASING the onion with "the
noxious herbs of the lily family" The
concluding paragraphs read as fol
lows.
"Whereas. the Apostle Paul. in his
letter to the Romans, doubtless re-
ferred to the eating of onions when
he said: TT any man defile the tenn
Pile of God him shall God destroy, for
the temple of God is holy. which tenn
pie We are therefore.
'Let all sensible and clean people
cease the onion habit"
There now!
There is no compromise with the
,,nclean shifting, no meliorative sug-
eestion that the acrid volatile oil OF
the onion may be released by boiling.
No, not even In hash!
However,
The onion needs no defnese. It is
strong enough to speak for itself.
Consider its history. Think of the
criticisms of the finical and the pun
gent answer of its bouquet through
the long ages snice it found its early
home in Asia. Bulb and top it has
always been in evidence and has fol-
lowed man in all his wanderings. It's
scent has put tang to every breeze.
Remember how the children of Is
rael got tired of mamma and longed
for the leeks and onions of Egypt?
There is no doubt that as soon as
they got settled in the Promised Land
they sent back and got some onion
sets.
The mouths of those Portsmouth
women shall yet water!
And as for us who love the fra
grant fruit-long may its perfume
grace our nostrils. Aye even to the
point of tears.

THE MISSION OF THE cossAcK

It is worthy of notice that the
czar of Russia depends for his safety
almost wholly upon his regiments of
Cossacks. These mounted soldiers
have proved themselves to be despic
able warriors in the far east. AS a
factor in war the Cossack has tum
bleld from the high position he once
held to an exceedingly low level
On the other hand, as the arm, prop
and buttress Of depotism. the Cos
sack has proved himself to be an un
qualified success. His function, the
one in which he excels, is to charge
with sword or loaded whip upon

eral hundred persons, including the rabbis
and principal officers, grouped on the plat
form. 1t had been decided that each OF the
Zionists marching should sign his name to
a parchment which would be placed in the
cornerstone. For this purpose table had
been placed in the center of the platform
and surrounded by the rabbis and church
officers, and it the intention to have
the men march by and sign their names At
this moment the crowd, which had been held
in check by several policemen, surged for
ward to witness the signing of the paper.
The additional weight was too much for the
planking to hold, and without moments
warning the entire front section of the plat
form collapsed with crash, dropping the
crowd into the cellar. The screams and
groans of the men, women and children,
caught in the wreckage of broken joists and
flooring, was appalling. After quiet had
been secured and all the injured attended
to, it was decided to hold the cornerstone
services in the street.

on the things i'm which every one was
interested. DR.. Nicholson frankly
met this open spirit of his congrega-

Ezekiel 33, bringing out the respon-
sibility which rests upon the preach-
er to proclaim the word of God low
ingly, yet fearleSsly. On the other
hand it is Just as much a duty and
obligation for the people to place
themselves where they can bear this
truth as it is for the preacher to de-
clare it. The pew and pulpit have
each its responsibility that can not
be escaped. The altar service Was
teautiful in its simplicity. Many
shared in it. The interest is deepen

cheap about it, but the words Of
truth and soberness find Judgement
