Egyptian Onions.

Egypt has been regarded by some
people as the land of pyramids ana
mummies only, but it has f..3in tine
immemorial had reputation foi
onions. Ancient Egyptians swore IS
the onion and regarded the plant as
sacred. The inscription Oh the pyra-
mid of Cheops tells us that tie work
men had onions given to them, AID
from the Bible we learn that the He
brews, when slaves under Pharaoh,
enjoyed these bulbs, and that when far
away they remembered 1.-The leeks and
the Onions and the garlic" The Egyp-
ton onion is a handsome and useful
vegetable, and by selecting the best
strains of seed the quality tends, year
by year, to improve. The Egyptian
knows two varieties, the 'Baalf' and
the ''Miskaoui" but supplies of the lat
ter kind are seldom sent abroad, as
they absorb so much moisture from, the
frequently irrigated ground in which
they are grown that they do not stand
a sea- voyage we'll. The "Baali'' onion
is the more popular Egyptian onion
and is grown in yellow soil, which is
sparingly watered while the bulbs are
maturing, in order that the onions may
stand lengthy sea voyage with little
risk of Sprouting.

"A Forest of Giants.

1t is almost impossible for one who
has seen only the eastern or Rocky
mountain forests to imagine the woods
Of the Pacific coast Pictures of the
big trees are as common as postage
stamps, but the most wonderful thing
about the big trees is that they are
scarcely bigger than the rest of the for
est. The Pacific coast bears only a
tenth of our woodland, but nearly half
of our timber. An average acre in the
Rocky mountain forest yields one to
two thousand board feet of lumber; in
the southern forest, three to four thou
sand; in the northern forest, four to
six thousand. An average acre on the
Pacific coast yields fifteen to twenty
thousand. Telescope the southern and
Rocky mountain forests, toss the north
ern on top of them and stuff the cen
trail into the chinks, and, acre for acre,
the Pacific forest will outweigh them

A Wonderful Escape.

Fieschi tried to assassinate King
Louis Philippe of France in July, 1885
The king was riding along the lines of
the national guard in the Boulevard du
Temple. There came a crash and a
rush of bullets. Louis Philippe's arm
was grazed his horse was shot in the
neck, Marshal Mortier fell dead and
about thirteen other people were killed
and thirty wounded. Fieschi had taken
the upper floors of house several
weeks before and there rugged up an
oaken frame four feet by three feet six
inches, supported on four posts of oak
and itself supporting twenty-five gun
barrels fixed in grooves at various
angles so as to command an area of
twenty-five feet in length and ten feet
in height When he fired the train OF
powder that let off his battery the king
would have been killed if four barrels
had not burst and two missed fire.

Ancient Locks.

Locks were used in the time of the
pharaOhs. At Karnak the visitor is
shown the sculptured representation of
a lock which is almost exactly like one
kind of lock used in Egypt at the pres
ent day Homer says that Penelope
used brass key to open her wardrobe.
He adds that it was very crooked and
had an ivory handle. A Greek writer
who lived in the last half of the twelfth
century explains that such keys were
undoubtedly very ancient, although
still to be seen in Constantinople and
tan, required a partial sliding of the
key. They were, however, more intri-

1T is a good scheme" said Il rich
man, Ito spend the summer in Norway.
The Norwegian climate is superb, the
scenery is grand and the living is
cheap-a dollar a day at the hotels and
carriages at half dollar a day. One
fine thing about Norway is that in the
summer the night only lasts a couple
of hours, and if you go as far as the
North cape there is no night at all,
but the sun circles round and round
the horizon and never sinks below.
The Norwegian rivers abound in fish,
and any one is free to angle for trout
in them. The salmon rivers, though,
are strictly preserved. Some of the
salmon rivers are very fine and rent
for as much as $1,000 a year. know

A Camera Fiend.

A we'll known criminal lawyer one
day sauntered into police court just
as case was called. 1t appeared that
the defendant had no attorney, and the
Judge glanced about the room to see
whom he might assign to the case,
"I'll take it, judge the late conner
said, wishing to pass away the time.
"By the way, what is the man
charged with?'' the attorney presently
asked.
He's a camera fiend Of the worst
sort, Mr.. Brown" the Judge said, with
q slight smile. Il expect to send him
to the workhouse for about three
months"
WHAT" the lawyer shouted indig-
nantly Your honor must be Joking.

months for little harmless amuse-
ment like taking pictures?'

Of Darwin it is affirmed that he
seemed unaware of the difference in
the value of books and would treat a
Zaehnsdorf binding with the same
scant courtesy that he exercised to-
ward a penny pamphlet. Covers APP
peared to him a useless weight and de-
cidedly in the way, and he often got
rid of them by ripping them off. Some
times the book was borrowed. It is
said that in the end his friends used
to give him any book which he wished
to borrow, for they knew that, if it
book would be at an end.

Curing a Pampered Pet.

A very clever veterinary had sys-
TEN all his own. When he received an
overfed toy dog he would consign him
to a disused brick oven with a crust Of
bread, an onion and an old boot. When
the dog began to gnaw the bread the
anxious mistress was informed that
her darling was doing nicely" When
it commenced operations on the onion
word was sent that the pet was de
cidedly BETTER" but when the animal
tackled the boot my lady was gratifed
to hear that her precious pet was
ready to be removed. "-Woman's

The Little Toe to Go.

A comparative anatomist says that
the little toe has got to go; that it is a
useless appendage, already showing
signs of degeneration or whitening
away. 1t is proved that the horse, in
the course of several centuries, has
one, and some think that mans pedal
eXtremities are bound to follow a sim
liar line of evolution. In the horse it
is the middle digit which has survived
as the fitteSt In man it will be the

LOCAL FINANCIAL NOTES.

New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad stock advanced from 2O1% to lRO4% last week, closing at 2011S. Very Dittle of the stock is offered for sale. The new convertible S1z per cent. bonds also advanced from 116 to 11S1a. In- vestors in these bonds have a sure ad- vance.
 Edison Electric of Boston has declar- ed the usual quarterly dividend of 2h per cent, payable February to stock holders of record January 16.
 About ninety-nine and one-half per cent. of the stock held by holders of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company availed themselves of the privilege to take up the new con- vertible S15 per cent. bonds.
 Swift & Co. rights varied from $1 to 50 cents closing at 90 cents. They ex- pire February 2. These rights furnish a good opportunity for holders to secure high grade industrial stock at req sonable figure.
 Southern New England Telephone company stock is In more demand and is held quite closely on account of the rights which holders expect will be giv- en them early in the spring. The ex- pectation of holders is that $1, ,00O, 900 new capital will be needed the coming year, and that stockholders can get it par, perhaps in two issues of $5OO,OOO each, one of which may be issued soon

STOCK MARKET FEATURES
4 STRONG WAVE OF CONFI-

Any Kind of Stock Can be Dealt i'm
 Money in the Cheap Stocks Now
 Wall Street says--Some Wall Street
 Opinions.
 Wall streets big men have again tri- umphed, and their confidence in the country has been vindicated, thanks to a succession of fortunate events.
 Prices are high but the claim is that they are justified by the country pros perity is well founded.
 Money is now to be made in the cheap stocks, says Wall street.
 Some of the opinions of the Wall street houses are as follows:
 Marshall, spader & Co.,: With easy money it would appear that the mar ket has many favorable aspects.
 A. o. Brown & Co.,: Sentiment is very bullish, and it is thought that the dominant interests in the market will soon resume aggressive operations for a further advance, based upon the ex- tremely favorable prevailing conditions
 Watson 6 Co.,. Referring to the mar ket generally, there is no reason why serious declines should occur Reaction of larger extent, however, may be look ed for in proportion to the increase of public interest.
 John G. O'Keeffe, of H. J. Horton X Co.,, Control of market by bulls IS growing more absolute. It may be their policy to closethe market higher, to make a strong opening Monday. We ought to have reaction early next week.
 Carpenter, Baggot & Co.,: It should be borne in mind that many of the high priced standard stocks of to-day have risen from non-dividend, low grade securities. Some of the low-pric- ed stocks in the present market will be the standards of a future time. From the present outlook the bull movement will continue without serious setback.
 J. s. Bach & Co.,: The public inter- est in the market seems to be increas- ing, particularly in the low-priced rail- road shares, while the professional ele- ment is still pulling the high-priced stocks. We look for higher prices.
 Chandler Bros. & Co.,: The general market looks most promising, and we are in favor of buying on all conces- s,ons.
 Henry Clews:-Stock market opera tions must be conducted with great caution. While the market seems des- tined for a higher level, we are likely to have sharp setbacks and heavy prof 1t taking at any time At present there is no bearish element in the market to act as a support in case of a break, and none can be expected until confl- dence wanes or some of the big holders have sold out, and made plans for re- purchasing at a lower level. Apparent ly we are in for an active and fluctu- ating market.
