He was over eighty at the time. MT. Glad stone went luently on, expounding the merits of rabbit farming, but after a time even he noticed the rain and the umbrella.

The Onion Eater.

Most of us,' said a man who eats plenty of onions, ''eat too much meat and grease and butter and bread and not enough vegetables, and the conse. Quence is our systems get clogged up with grease and starch, our livers get out of order and we grumble at our wives, and scold our children, and fuss when the baby cries. and quarrel with the street car conductors, and get into rows at the office and lose our jobs. not because we are naturally sulky or Quarrelsome, but because we are bill. ious. Why are we bilious? Because we don't eat onions. You never saw a dyspeptic man eating onions. He thinks they are poison. but, in fact they are the medicine that he most needs. Whenever you see an onion eater you zee q whole soued. open hearted, jolly good fellow, who knowe what he ought to eat to keep him goo1 humored. Talk about the staff of life why. bread is only crutch. There is more nourishment in an onion than there i1 in q roll.

RickshaWs and Dandies.

In the mountain districts of India the principal vehicles of passenger conveyance are the rickshaw and the dandy, with which Rudyard Kipling has made us familiar. The rickshaw Is pushed and pulled through the streets and on the roads leading out Into the country by four coolies, and the dandy is carried on the shoul ders of four and sometimes six coolies Saddle ponies are also used to some ex. tent, but most of the inhabitants and quite all visitors use the rickshaw and dandy. The latter is constructed on the plan of q sleigh box, but longer. A pole Is attached fore and aft, which is long enough to give a springy motion when the coolies are walking and trot. ting. A crosspiece rests on the shoul- 3ers of the coolies and is shifted now and then from one shoulder to the oth- CT for rest. By the command of the cooly in charge this shift is made si. multaneously.

WANT SHIP
 SUBSIDY BILL

Cleveland, O., Dec. 20.-For the pur- pos of attempting to secure favorable action by this congress on the ship subsidy bill, the Merchant Marine league will hold convention here to- morrow Plans for a campaign boom ing the ship subsidy measure will be considered and adopted. It is expected that the meeting will have deep po- lftical significance. Many distinguish ed men will be in attendance, and com mercial organizations throughout the country have appointed delegates.
 Among the speakers expected are Senator Foraker of Ohio, Senator Gal finger of New Hampshire, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Newberry, Sec Cleary and Director John Barrett os the bureau of American republics.
 It is pointed out by friends of the ship subsidy bill that the government was recently handicapped by the lack of merchantmen for conveying coal to the battleship fleet In It's trip to the Pacific, that there were not enough American vessels to move the neces- sary coal supplies and that foreign countries had to be called upon for as- sistance. It Is also declared that there is a lack of American sailors to man the commercial vessels, and that some thing should be done to increase their number

Occasionally he put questions tt candidates for ordination that Hppar netly had no connection with the dis charge of their Iaruchial duties. They tested probably their wit or tact. tive necessary qualifications to public men but nothing more. One such question proposed by the bishop was the fol lowing: Which has the greatest mum her of legs. 0 cat or po cat:"
 AS might be expected. this created |: litter. bat the bishop would not take q laugh as the answer. and consequently he repeateI .he question and desired some one to so!y" the problem At las, one of the candidates. smiling. said. ''l should think. my lord. cat"

Castle Garden.

Castle Garden was built by the Unit. ed States in 1897 from the plans of Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Williams 0. D., and was called Fort Clinton. In 1922 it was ceded to New York city. In 1924 1t became place of amusement and about 1925 got the name of Castle Garden. In 1S45 there were Ethiopian minstrels there, in 1S47-49 theatrical companies played there, and in 1850 Jenny Lind sang there. In 1855 1t was closed as place of amusement, and he commissioners of immigration took It as an immigrant depot. In 1870 it suffered from fire, and on July 9, 1876. 1t was burned to the ground. It was rebuilt at once In 1892 the depot was moved to Ellis island, and Castle Gar len reverted to the city, which i'll 1S96 opened an aquarium there.
