Hot Onions and Pneumonia.

Hot onions, according to French
physician, are said to be sure cure
for pneumonia The remedy is as
follows: Take six or ten onions, put
in large pan over a fire, then add
the same quantity of rye meal and
vinegar enough to make thick
paste. In the meantime stir it
thoroughly, letting it simmer for five
or ten minutes. Then put in a cot
ton bag large enough to cover the
lungs, and apply to the chest as hot
as patient can bear. In about ten
minutes apply another, and thus con-
tinue by relocating the poultices, and
in a few hours the patient Will be
out of danger. This simple remedy
has never failed to cure this too often
fatal malady. Usually three or four
applications will be sufficient.

Turkey Near a Crisis.

| Constantinople is still in the hands
of mutinous soldiers, and, according
to unofficial reports, more than 1000
souls have already fallen under the
bullet and sword since the trouble
began. The constitutional party is said
to be rushing unaffected troops into
the capital to quell the mutiny, and
still more serious difficulties are ex-
pected. In fact, Ambassador Leish-
mans kilograms to the state depart
ment tend to confirm the opinion that
the whole Turkish empire and it's
future political status may be in
volved before the streets of the an
cient city are again free from fight
ing and blood.
There is something back of this
sudden desperate outbreak of the
Turkish soldiers against the new gov
eminent Not dissatisfaction with the
new party, but the Vaccinations of
that dark and silent figure in the
Yildiz Kiosk may be the hiden springs
which have set this mutiny into oper-
alton and loosed a bloody-hearted
soldiery upon the leaders of the
younger Turks party. Abdul Hamii,
that sinister enigma whose intrigues
have harassed Europe for 80 years,
never gave over a part of his abso-
lutism into the hands of the cOnsti-
tutionalists without vindictiveness. 1t
may we'll be that he has only bided
his time, and that this is a method
devised by his cunning to destroy the
committee of union and progress and
bring back the old regime.
Sooner than be ruled by the COM
mittee or union and progress" he has
been quoted as saying, II myself will
ruin Turkey and myself together. I
will be the last of the sultans.'
This will be true word if the pres
ent Instruction be quelled by the
constitutionalists ani it should be dis
covered that the disturbance was
child of the sultan's brain and hand.
Progress and democracy in Turkey
have been on the upward tide too
long for them to be held in leash by
tyrant's will. 1t is not at all i'm
possible that Abdul Hamid will be the
last of the sultans of Turkey, and
that his despotism will be succeeded
by a liberal monarchy, or, indeed, by
a republic And the day may not be
far distant.
The goth century has already seen
many strange and marvellous things,
but none stranger than that its infant
years should look upon Constanti-
nople as city of liberty. How many
times it's streets have run with blood,
Here Demosthenes came with his
band of Greeks to aid the Byzantines
against Philip of Macedon. Later the
Romans sacked it, and after them
Saracen and Christian made it the
battle ground of the holy wars. Per-
slams. Avars, Latins, and the shakoed
Russ have tramped in triumph
through it's bazaars. Three times the
invincible Turk, under Murad II. and
Mohammed, put the city to the sword
before he made it his own in 1853.
Now liberty may be its last conqueror
and the throne of the sultan be de-
molished.
