TN PRAISE OF THE ONION
One Writer, at Least, Brave Enough
to Defend the heaIthfuI But
Odorous Vegetable.

Why is 1t that so beautiful and de-
ncious vegetable as an onion causes
such horror among humankind when it
has once been consumed?
Why is it that ones wife shudders
when she sees her husband gnawing
at the juicy interior of big Bermuda,
when the scientific chaps so strongly
recommend the onion as most
healthful and proper form of grub?
Why-oh, why-does an onion taste
so much differently in the morning?
Nobody knows
There are a few people who abso-
lutely detest the mere idea of an on
ion, but the antagonistic attitude is
generally precautionary measure.
Many people would like to eat on
ions, If they dared, and only refrain
from doing SO when under heavy
pressure. They are told that the odor
OF a mild and companionable onion
upon ones breath stamps him as one
of the rabble.
II he reeks with the perfume of a
lo-cent cigar II is -. 4. Likewise II
is all right if he has been reveling in
some of the more deadly varieties of
cheese, but as for the onion-never
Onions are mighty handy vegeta-
bles in the kitchen Of the elite, and
are used to flavor most salads and
dressings and things, where they are
duly appreciated, but, like the com
mon workingman, while useful about
the house, they must not be brought
into the drawing room unless in dis
guise.
This outrage against the onion
spring, Bermuda and Spanish-when
properly studied, is likely to make a
socialist of almost anyone.

NEW THEORY OF EVOLUTION
Points Evolved by Author May Give
Rise to Some Most Interesting
Hypotheses.

In book entitled "The Natural The
ology Of Evolution" ]. N. Shearman
pointed out that nothing in the OAR
winian theory precludes design; it
only requires the supposition that the
designing mind works slowly through
many ages. AS to those variations
which have turned out failures-the
flying reptiles and other extinct crea-
lures of early periods-the author
makes the suggestion that the direc-
ton Of varieties may to some extent be
deputed by God to angels, in the same
way as free will and power is granted
to man; and that these failures are the
experiments of the angel-subordinates
But" writes the editor of Nature
in recommending the book to scientific
readers, "the author is not in the least
crank, and he puts forward this fresh
and interesting hypothesis (Which
some would call fantastic) as a specu-
lation only. His main point is that
though the Darwinian natural selection
is true cause of change in species,
the variations which tend to progress
toward greater complexity cannot be
attributed to chance. They are evi-
dence of guiding mind which sees
and knows before it produces on the
rial plane"
Science has ceased to sneer at the
spiritual, and many Of the deepest
thinkers Of today are turning to the
supernatural for explanations of phe
uomena they cannot understand.

History.

The first writer who is definitely &C.
knowledged as a historian was the
Greek Herodotus, who wrote in the
fifth century, B. G. The very earliest
of ancient records, sacred and secular,
are merely lists and tables of ruling
dynasties, and the next step toward
the development of the continuous
narrative which we know as history"
is in the expansion of such lists to in
clude events. The most notable early
examples of these historical records"
are the Old Testament books of Kings
and Samuel, which date back to the
seventh century, B. c., and the book
of Chronicles, which, though equally
notable, was compiled three centuries
later. Ancient Egypt has similar rec
ords, and there are notable early frag.
ments of Japanese and Chinese chroni-
Gle. The first actual written narrative
history" however, is Greek. The Old
Testament, as stated, goes back to ex.
tremely early Jewish records. The
New Testament, which was written in
Greek, Is, of course, much later; much
history had been written before the
beginning of the Christian era.

The call for the republican ma
tional convention has been issued
and by it's terms Arizona is en-
titled to six delegates. For one
of these six delegates the Wins
low Mail is in favor If our old
comrade, j +. III ~
cause he is more Interested IN see
ing winning ticket nominated
than in the individual candidacy
of any man. The Arizona del
egation should be made up of
just such men. 1t would be a
fatal mistake to have the Arizo-
ma delegation go to Chicago as
blind partisans of any candidate,
as it is altogether probable con-
ditions may arise that may make
a compromise candidate neces-
sary for the sake of harmony.

Senator Ashurst has got the
public building fever also. He
has introduced a bill for a federal
building at Prescott, and she
ought to have it. If senators
and congressman would only take
as much interest in public build
ing for their state after election
as they manifest for the few
months just before election when
hey are candidates for re-elec-
Ion, they might accomplish some
good. Ante-election bills always
have the appearance of bunko
game.

The Interstate commerce COM
mission has upheld the lumber
rate established in Arizona by the
corporation commission, which
means that the lumber mills in
northern Arizona and particular
ly the mills at Flagstaff, have a
profitable market in southern
Arizona. The big lumber COM
panies on the coast were the
complainants. and they wanted
the Arizona rate raised so they
could ship their product into this
state on low through billing, and
thereby destroy our lumber
Industries. With this state hav-
.1g the finest virgin forests in
the United States, it would have
been a crime to force such q
high local rate that would have
permitted Oregon pine to come
into Arizona, and practically put
out of business our local mills.
The local rate on Arizona lumber
was established by the railroad
companies for the sole purpose OF
building up the local mills, and
developing the industry in this
state, and when the big whole
sale lumber companies of Los
Angeles saw this rich field slip
ping from them they Immediately
filed a complaint with the inter
state commerce commission
against the railroads to compel
them to raise their local rates.
The Commission some times do
do things right and act with JUS
tice, and this is an instance.

Pulse Beat Means Little.

Many persons, knowing that the av-
erage pulse is about seventy beats a
minute, believe that to be the normal
and think themselves well or other
wise as their pulse approaches or de-
parts from this standard. Physicians
say there is no physical popularity
that exhibits such wide individual vari-
alton as the pulse. 1t seldom falls be-
low sixty or rises above eighty, but
an unusually slow or rapid pulse is
not an infallible indication of disease
as many suppose. Many times the
pulse is counted while talking about
the matter; in such cases the pulse is
almost certain to be overestimated,
for physicians all know that the heart
is quickened by the excitement of con-
versation.

Boxes Too Expensive

II appears from the Washington dis
patches that although the Postofhee De

@If the Postofice Department had
gone ahead and done what they said
they would do last April We would have
had our letter boxes" said Mayor
Mitchell last night, "snd they would
have been of slightly design and placed
on the existing poles, instead Of being
unsightly and requiring individual
standards on the streets, as in the case
Of the old type of boxes. The trouble
is that the Postoffce Department was

Mayor Mitchell took hand yesterday
IN the controversy between the Post

Of additional letter boxes in this city.
The Mayor made public letter to

70 consider giving its consent 20 the
old type Of letter box, which Postmas-

snrtxlled within twenty-four hours.
The Mayer said ne had called the meet
ing because he considered the convent

than the xsthetie considerations in

The Mayer incorporated IN his letter
