Peellno Onions for a Liyino.

The profession of onion peeling is
not one that obtains much notice, yet
there are at least five hundred women
in the East end of London earning their
living by removing the skins of onions.
With practice, they can make four or
five shillings per day. Very often they
have been peeling since childhood,
daughters succeeding mothers.
1t is not a profession you can learn
in one lesson, for the skin must be
removed by hand, or the onion Juices"
are of no use for picking. The onions
are always peeled in water. This is
not to save the eyes of the peeler, but
is done to keep the onion white.

Extraordinary Local Decision.

An extraordinary situation has been
created in Nice by the decision OF the
local tribunal in a case brought against
one Of the finest and newest hotels in
the town by a hairdresser and wig
maker carrying on business in a street
at the side Of the hotel. The hair
dresser, says the Standard, sued the
proprietor of the hotel on the ground
that his light had been spoilt by the
height of the building that had been
put up so nea him, that his wig-mak-
ing required n strong light, and was in
reality a work of art Of great value.
He merely asked that the hotel should
be pulled down. The extraordinary
thing Is that judgment has been given
in the hairdresser's favor, and the no
tel proprietor has been ordered to take
down a building representing a vast
sum Of money.

He had obtained a place in an es.

his employer.
The other evening he was at a So

He responded with Home, Sweet

prlsed at the selection, but he was
heartily %applauded. Stepping forward,
he said:

MORE LIGHT.

the announcements of the traffic by
temperance speakers and writer's.
Temperance people say amen to that.
SO do all who are seriously consider.
Ing the question and are working to-
ward a solution OF this national prob
lem. We want the truth concerning
alcohol from the time the grain is di.
verted from its natural and legitimate
use-and It's life-giving elements con-
verified and perverted into death-deal-
Ing poisons-to the hour when, spark
ling and hooking, it lures men and
women TO destruction and recruits
the ranks of paupers and criminals.
We want the truth concerning the re-
lation of strong drink to social and
economic conditions. We want moth
Ing but the truth concerning the
liquor question in any of its aspects

Men, women and children are learn

nature Of alcohol-and there can be

WHO WAS TO BLAME7
In the little story with the above
title Josiah Aliens wife (pen name OF
Marietta Holley) tells Josiah that:
1T wuz the law and It's working pard-
ner, the saloon, that caused young
Tom Nugent. while crazy with drink,
to kill his honored father, Judge MI
gent" In an agony Of remorse Tom
drowned himself in the lake near the
home OF his happy boyhood.
In the following excerpt Samantha
and Josiah thus discuss the license
law:
Gould n woman make a more I'M
reasonable, inconsistent law than
this? II you pay a dog tax your dog
is protected by law; II your sheep
gifts killed by wolves or any other
destroyer you have n right to kill
that destroyer at sight. and the law
pays you for your loss. But duz the
law that protects your dog and your
sheep protect your boy? No! 1t pro-
tects the wolves that destroys the boy,
and worse than that It helps the wolves
to destroy him, makes 1t possible and
profitable, and worse yet, 1t goes into
partnership with the wolves. and takes
part of the blood money. Can the law
that protects sheep and dogs pay the
mother for the loss OF her boy after
It has destroyed him? You told me

didn't like II, and seq: You needn't

you must do the best you can with
what you've got to do with. You can't
stop liquor from bein' sold and you'd
better let 1t be drinked openly pro-

sly; folks will have 1t, you can't stop

right TO license 1t. Or make It lawful
to sell the stun that made u good boy
like Tom Nugent into a iend capable
of committing such a crime as this,
and the thousands and thousands OF
crimes equally black and monstrous
that are committed by this cause all
over our broad land every day. You
admit that it nj liquor that did it.,
If Tom hadn't gone into that saloon
and drank himself crazy drunk this

HAD NO NEED OF THE BIBLE
Students Very Much in Error When
They Thought They Could EN-
barrass Henry Ward Beecher.

A good story is told about the late
Henry Ward Beecher. who was ac-
customed TO find his inspiration
wherever he might open the Bible.
He was preaching once before the
Harvard students. One Of the stu
dents in a spirit Of deviltry removed
the Bible from the altar and substi'
tuted Webster's dictionary. The word
was passed around, and as the noted
divine assembled the pulpit the collie
gians leaned back to enjoy the fun.
Doctor Beecher adjusted his glasses
and opened the book.
my text this morning" he began,
is taken from the Song of Solomon.
Then, as casually as If nothing had
happened, he went on: II am the rose
OF Sharon and the lily of the valleys.
As the lily among thorns, 30 is my
love among the daughters. As the
apple tree ."
The students by this time had be
gun to look s~heepish. They never
again tried to play a joke on Henry
Ward Beecher.

REVENUE VERSUS WELFARE

Amy ven which is derived by
any government from sources which
tend to degenerate and degrade any
portion of the people is bad. Every
source Of information, medical, socio-
logical and economical, tends to prove
that the consumption of liquor Is dan
gerous and that It depreciates the
physical vitality Of the consumer, his
mental capacity and his economic eff
iciency. This being true, 1t follows
that our governmental revenue from
the liquor traffic should be cut Off,
Prof, Franklin Hickborn OF the Uni
versity of California.

PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA
CAME FROM TEETHlNG

''When my little girl was about
eight months old, she was taken with
very irritating breaking out, which
came on her face, neck and back.
When she first came down with it, it
came in little watery-like testers under
her eyes, and on her chin, then after
a few days it would dry down in scaly,
white scabs. In the daytime she was
quite worrysome and would dig and
scratch her face nearly all the time.
Il consulted our physician and found
she was suffering from eczema, which
he said came from her teething. 1
used the ointment he gave me and
without any relief at ALL Then
wrote for a book on Cuticura and pur-
chased some Cuticura Soap and ONT
ment at the drug store. I did as l
found directions in the Cuticura Book
let, and when she was one year old,
she was entirely cured. Now she is
three years and four months, and she
has never been troubled with eczema
since she was cured by the Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment" (Signed

For some days I've had a sneak

visit him and make some comment on
the obvious superiorities of his Off
spring. l couldn't bring myself to do
it, though, because, according to my
way of thinking, no baby is human un-
til it is at least one year old. I'm not
very keen about associating with in
fants, anyway, but l draw the line
absolutely until tie year mark rolls
around.
"By way of apology, however, l
decided to call up my friend on the
telephone. The first question he ask
ed was why l hadn't been over to
see Toodles.
Well, old man. said, I've been
intending to get around to see that
boy of yours. In fact, made note of
it six weeks ago.
Indeed' he answered, and never
before have I known a man to inject
so much sarcasm in one small word.
