Investioate the Onion.

The homely onion has been the sub ject of an inquiry by a British com mittee whose duty it was to go into the matter of it's high cost. The re port of the committee reveals the fact that the present high rate of the onion is due to the stoppage of import from Holland and Belgium and to the dimin- ished import from Egypt and Spain. It is pointed out that onions can be grown in England, and to woman gar deners of even quite amateur HNQeri- ence the contemplative cult of the onion is to be recommended as real and useful war work.

this country, but he had nothing of the kind. He was born without a con science, and crime was to him at once vocation and recreation
 AS boy he worked in a New Bruns- wick drug store and stole things as he needed them. Later he studied law and refreshed himself by various small crimes during his leisure hours. For one of these he was sen: to prison for two years, and while locked up he read everything in the prison library. After his release he went to New York state, and located in the small town of Dryden. There he became a teacher in school for girls, and married one of his pupils, girl of sixteen years.
 w H. Schutt, relative of the girl, made a fuss over it, and this annoyed Ruloff greatly, so, to be revenged, he poisoned Schutt's wife and child. This crime was not suspected at the time, and it was only after several years that the facts were known. In his home he was a tyrant and bully, and made life burden for his unfortunate young wife. His conduct at last be- came so outrageous that the neighbors rose as one man and talked with some enthusiasm of tar and feathers, so Ru- loff removed to the village of Lansing, near Ithaca, where he began the prac- tice of medicine.
 Meanwhile he began work upon a book that was to be his maSterpiece and make his name immortal It was treatise on philology, and scholars who examined fragments of his manu- scripts long afterward, declared that the erudition of the author was simply astonishing. His wife wasn't in sym pathy with his work. She couldn't find it possible to love and admire a man who wrote profound essays dur ing the daytime and then burglarized henhouses at night. Perhaps this is why he murdered her. No better req

The fame of Eugene Aram, such as 1t is, promises to be imperishable.
 Edward H. Ruloff was far greater criminal than Ararh, and quite as great a scholar, and his ignominious death was a comparatively recent mat ter, yet he is all but forgotten. With in the recollection of men now living his name was household word throughout the country. But there was no Hood to embalm him in song, and no Bulwer to make him the cen tral character of novel; other mur- derers came forward and did their de- voir, and Ruloff's memory died the death.
 This remarkable man was born in New Brunswick in 1919 and was a bookworm from earliest childhood His thirst for knowledge amounted to a passion. He Tapped up information as eagerly as warm dog laps up wa ter. He was an omnivorous reader. Anything in the shape of a book at tracted him, and he had the faculty of absorbing everything that was worth knowing in a volume, and then remem- bering 1t. His memory was abnor- nal. In his advanced years he could quote books he read when child, and hadn't seen since
 The study of languages was his fla vorite pursuit, and he knew nearly all the tongues of the earth. His knowl- edge was profound, and it was all ac- quired without the aid of teachers. Had he been blessed with a moral character he surely would have been numbered among the great men of

Agriculture sternly practiced among

So William D., the father Of the SEN

alert and adventurous, he started a
factory at Lancaster for making starch
from potatoes.
