SO many different dishes and In 10
many different ways that one often
forgets its many excellent remedial
qualities.
Onions are an excellent cure Tor

before retiring. They will be found
to be more appetizing II finely chopped
up and laid between two thin waters
or biscuits Eaten In this way ,hey
are also easily digested. The reason
so many people complain of onions
disagreeing with them is that they
eat too much of the homely vegetable.
Onions are not intended to be eaten
On masse When they are taken raw
they should be thoroughly masticated,
or, better still. the juice Of the onion
should be pressed out and taken on
bread or as a sauce.
In this form the onion is splendid

An onion poultice will extract the

manner will relieve the congestion In

onions into slices, sprinkle t." slices
with graduated sugar and squeeze
out the Juice. The dose is teaspoon

obtained This syrup is also much
used In cases Of bronchitis.

freely as she does salt But the
onion is always disguised, or, rather,
It is merely the juice and not the

Mrs. ~. Wrighf

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there IS kind of dyspepsia that is caused by derangement of the female organism, and which, while it causes a disturb snee similar to ordinary indigestion, cannot be relieved without a medicine which not only acts as stomach tonic, but has peculiar tonic effect on the fe. male organism.
 As proof of this theory we call at- tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was completely cured by Lydia E. Pink ham Vegetable Compound after every thing else had failed. She writes:
 "For two years I suffered with dyspepsia which so degenerated the entire system that was unable to attend to my daily duties. 1 felt weak and nervous, and nothing that I ate tasted good and 1t caused disturbance ill my stomach. l tried different dyspepsia cures, but nothing seemed to help me I was ad- vised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound trial, and was happily surprised to find that it acted like fine tonic, and in a fewdays began to enjoy and properly digest tny food. My recovery was rapid, and in Ive weeks l was well woman. 1 have rec commended it to many suffering women.' ;; No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqual- fed endorsement or has such a record ofcures of female troubles. as has Lydia F. Pinkham Nereta ble Compound.

CHURCH PEW HIS BED.
Tramp Finds Rest for His Weary
 Bones in House of Worship.

The janitor of one of Portsmouth's largest churches was given a big sur prise Sunday morning as he stepped into the auditorium after opening the big front doors to allow of the usual airing out. He came face to face with a strange and tough-looking man. At first the janitor feared a touch of the chills, but he finally brought himself together and inquired of the man what be had been doing.
 The fellow said that he had been en. toying a nights rest on the cushions of pew away down front Saturday night he was attracted to the church by the singing of the choir during re- hearsal. He found the door open, walked in and sat down.
 The music had that soothing effect and the wanderer fell asleep. He knew nothing more until daylight, when he awoke wondering where he was at. He said that in all his life he had never found a more comfortable bed.
 The jantor looked about. saw that nothing was disturbed and then al lowed the stranger to ogo.-Portsmouth, N H., Times.

Earnings of Novelists.

Authors earn much less in France than in England. The late Sir Walter Besant ten years ago estimated that there were 50 novelists in England who earned upward of a thousand a year. There are now probably nearer a hundred and fifty; while in France there are almost certainly not more than 50 who make living at all An English novelist of standing will re- ceive eighteerpence on every copy of a book sold. Some novelists receive two shillings. Emile Zola, who touched high water mark in France, got a franc, which is rather less than ten pence. Seven pence halfpenny is considered excellent pay, and four pence and fiyepence are common.

Two Meaninos to Sion.

English actors now in London, after touring the states" say that they have been surprised at the rise in prices in this country. One was struck by the high cost of hair cuts in the hotels. The story goes: Tired of paying 50 cents to be clipped, and seeing a sign exhibited to the effect, 'First-class hair cut, 25 cents,' he en- tered and was attended to. At the close he casually asked: How much % and was surprised to be asked for 50 cents. He reminded the barber of his sign outside. Yes, siree,' said the latter, the signs all right, but say, you haven't got first-class hair"

same as far back as he can trace
them. Everything about him, SO far
as the remainder of the human race
is concerned, almost forces him to ac-

farmers who, on seeing the machine
approach. would hurriedly bIindfold
their horses that they might not see

such an experience it would be diff

the following remarkable prophecy
ten years ago: Brethren, have
conviction which l believe is of the
Lord, that in the next ten years,
there will occur one of the bloodiest
wars in the worlds history. In this
war Russia will be the leader on one
side. The sentiment of the christian
nations will generally be against Rus
sia. Contemporaneous with this con-
f1ict, there will burst out a revival
such as was, never known in the
christian church, and which shall
spread throughout the world, turning
many unto righteousness. And, my
brethren, it is moreover my convic-
tion that Immediately following this
mighty outpouring of the Holy Spir-

brother was able to give religious
testimony quite As genuine and in
