Onions and Pneumonia.

The following remedy is said to be
cure for pneumonia. Take six to
ten onions, according to size, and chop
fine. put in a large spider over hot
fire, then add the same quantity of
ryemeal and vinegar, enough to form
a thick paste. In the meanwhile stir
1t thoroughly, letting it simmer five or
ten minutes. Then put in a cotton bag
large enough to cover the lungs, and
apply to chest as hot as patient can
bear. In about ten minutes apply
another, and thus continue by re-heat-
ing the poultices, and in few hours
the patient will be out of danger. This
simple remedy has seldom failed to
cure this too-often fatal malady. Usu-
ally three or four applications will be
sufficient, but continue until the per-
spiration starts freely from the chest.

IN TIME or SICKNESS.
Simple Remedies That Have Been
Proved Of Value.

To induce perspiration, wiring a
blanket out in hot water, and
wrap 1t round the patient. Then
pack in three or four dry blankets and
allow him to repose for 80 minutes
The coverings may then be taken off,
and the surface of the body rubbed
with warm towels.
1t is, as rule. best to apply COM
presses at night time, as it is difficult
to keep them in position while moving
about. After removing them in the
morning, sponge the affected parts
with cold water, so as to restore the
tone of the skin.
Take a jug of hot water containing
the drug which has to be inhaled.
Hold the face over the jug, and ar
range a towel so that it covers the
face below the eyes, and surrounds
the top of the jug. The medicine is
thus breathed through the mouth and
nose.

motor boats which are as near rock
and surf proof as anything that the
hand of man has yet placed upon the
surface of the waters. 1t requires a
weight of nearly two tons placed upon
the rail of one of these lifeboats to
bring the gunwale awash, or even with
the surface of the sea, and, according
to the official tests made at the ship
yard when one of them was placed
in commission, the craft would sustain
a load of 11% tons dead weight with
out sinking. Eighty-two copper tanks
filled with air are provided to keep
these boats afioat in the fiercest of
storms, and, if by any chance the force
OF wind and wave should capsize
them, they would automatically right
themselves almost instantly and throw
over their sides the water that had
been shipped. The moment the boat
capsizes the gasoline motor stops by
clever arrangement of the propelling
machinery, and after the boat rights
and balls herself the whirring propel-
Ter starts again and the interrupted
trip to or from some imperilled ship
is resumed.

RANDY AND HkLPFUL

The United States army is handy organization to have around in time of trouble, as the people of San Francisco discovered last Spring. Now 1t is an- nounced that the full resources of the commissary department of the United States army are to be employed in ob- taining supplies of food for the starv- Ing Chinese. At the request of Louis Klopsch, editor of the Christian der aid, who already has raised S150,000 for famine relief, Commissary General Sharpe has undertaken to purchase through the commissary officers as much flour and other food as may be needed to make up the cargo for the army transport Buford when she sails next month from San Francisco for Kinchow. General sharpe has had 8 conference with the Chinese Minister, Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, and receiv- ed much information from him as to the kind of food supplies best suited to the needs of the famine sufferers.
 Good work. Much better than the destructive work which is an army's chief mission. Would that all the armies could be chiefly employed in benevolent and benefcent operations.

RECIPROCITY WITH FRANCE,

France is, it seems, not so very anx
 ious about reciprocity with this country. At least that is the talk that comes to this 7ountry from Paris
 French commercial interests assert that they are convinced that the United States has more to lose than France in refusing to make a recipro- city treaty, as they believe that many French articles taken by the United States cannot be procured elsewhere and would be imported, irrespective of rates. On the other hand, American exports, as in the case of cottonseed oil. would feel the force Of every ln- crease of duties. There is also, un- doubtedly, considerable resentment against the seeming willingness of the United States to make a commer- cial arrangement with Germany, while the claims of France are ignored. It is said that France should be the first country with which a reciprocity ar rangement should be concluded, be- cause France. came forward after the enactment of the Dingley bill in 1897,

concluded treaty under the recipro- city clause of that act and then from time to time extended its life in the hope that it would be ratified, Since it's rejection, the ardor of the French has cooled, and they take the position that they can now afford to wait until the United States makes a move.
 This is a difficult and unpleasant situation to deal with. It Is thought in Washington that to offset the com- plaint that undue favorltism is being exhibited toward Germany the State department would be willing to extend to France concessions like the ones which. it is able to offer to Germany. This will exhaust the powers of the executive branch of the government until congress shall see fit to enlarge them, either through the adoption of the maximum and minimum tariff system or by approval of some of the pending reciprocity treaties.

A PLANKET sHAD DINNER.

It is only in the spring and then but for a few months that we can enjoy the shad in his freshness and glory. Those friends who live far inland must be deprived of the pleasure because shad is too delicate to stand trans portation we'll; but the delightful white fish so plentiful in nearly all our lakes and rivers make most excel lent substitute and will take the place of shad in our menu for to-day.

 Planked Shad Butter Sauce
 Cucumbers

 Lettuce and Watercress Salad

 Strawberries Sponge Cake
 Coffee
 Take one pint, packed measure, of grated carrot, selecting such roots as are most deeply colored Cover with one quart of boiling water, add one half teaspoonful of salt, a quarter of a teaspoonful of white pep per. a bit of bay leaf the size of ten 
 mer for an hour then press through a fine sieve. In clean saucepan melt together one large tablespoonful of but ter and three scant tablesspoonfuls of four gradually blend with this two cupfuls and half of hot milk, stirring until smoothly thickened. Gradually add the pulped carrot liquid, add more seasoning if necessary and simmer for five minutes. Have ready one cupful of diced stale bread. Salt it quickly In a spoonful of hot butter shaking and turning that the dice may be evenly colored golden brown. Turn into a pretty dish and serve with the soup.
 Select a large shad weighing at least four pounds-five or six pounds would be better Have the flshmonger split, clean it and remove the back bone, When received rinse it quickly in slightly salted water and dry on a soft cloth The plank used should be of we'll seasoned oak about two inches thick; those sold in the stores usually have wires added for fastening the fish. The few expert fishermen who have a limited supply of these blanks for their select patrons cure the boards by repeated charrings and coatings with fish oil Before using a new board not so prepared, it is advisable to brush it repeatedly with good olive oil and place either before a hot fire, under a gas flame (oven) or in a very hot oven

form of wreath of roses round the fish.
 As the fish is the central figure in the dinner the accompaniments should be few, comparatively simple but well pre- pared. Green vegetables are still scarce and rather high priced, so two medium sized cucumbers may be made to do duty for five or six people by pairing and dicing them quite fine, mix ing with French dressing and serv- ing in tiny saucers. These come to the table with the fish. Use Bermuda po- tatoes, which are now quite plentiful, selecting those of medium size. Scrub but boil without pairing and send to the table in their jackets.
 In New York and the large cities to the southward. fresh asparagus may be had though still high in price. Each stalk should be thoroughly washed, five to thirty-five minutees according to the age and thicknes of the stalks. Lift out, drain and serve on thin slices of dip toast with either melted butter or drawn butter sauce.

Pick over and wash part of bunch of lettuce leaves, fill the center with cress carefully dried on cloth Just before sending to the ta- ble sprinkle literally with French dressing. The latter Is prepared by mixing a half teaspoonful of salt and a saltspoonful of pepper with four tablespoonfuls of olive oil. To this is added a few drops at time, one table, spoonful of vinegar, the whole being furiously stirred until it is slightly thickened and the vinegar is evenly dis tributed through the mixture.
 If early strawberries can be had, se- lect box of large berries. Wash carefully without removing the hulls, or hull and impale each on an orange wood toothpick. Fill smal egg cups with powered sugar, place each on a dessert plate and arrange six or eight berries round the base of the cup.

4 WTSCONSIN PLAN.

'" Wisconsin boldly announces plans for new $4,OOOOOO State capitol. Of course she doesn't expect that her new capitol will cost her ten or fifteen mill lions, because she expects it will be honestly built within the appropria- tion, and she doesn't expect an investi- gation by and by which will reveal frauds like those committed in the
 building of Pennsylvania's capitol. In that job, or those jobs, contracts were made by the State authorities which involved such impossible conditions that nobody could have expected that they would ever be carried out. Off, clals in charge of the work are alleged to have certified to the delivery of 'baccarat" glass for which over $125, 900 was paid although it Is well known that baccarat glass Is used only for ta- ble ware, and can be obtained for no other purpose. The certifcation was made two months before the glass, which was not "baccarat," was really delivered It has already been proved that over S2,000, 900 of the money paid out by the State was stolen, and the total is expected to reach S5,000 GOO.
 We hope Wisconsin capitol-buiding will be as honest and successful as that of Connecticut was. If 1t is Wis consIn will have a right to be pleased and proud.
