The stuff was a mystery. Beyond
the fact that it was Of vegetable ma

Transcaucasia, where its production

centuries 1t had been widely used in

Onion Taken or Pedestal.

Another old-fashioned medical gu.
perstitioh has been exploded. The
odorous onion can never again be
used as therapeutic agent in tu-
berculosis. Old timers who have
sworn by the virtues Of this tear
producing product have humbugged
themselves, for the onion has been
investigated, classified, analysed
and everything else has been DON
to 1t that the learned men of SCI
ence could think of, and In the end
1t was found to be only an onion
pleasing to the palates Of some,
however displeasing to the noses Of
their friends, but absolutely and
unqualifedly without any medicinal
qualities or prophecies that make
1t an aid In the treatment Of tuber-
culosis. The white plague victims
may as well use boiled potato peel
ings or beet tops for all the good
1t will do them.

Waterfowl Pond.

Many city or village boy scout who
makes an occasional trip into the coun.

at some pond side, regrets that he lives
so far from that pond. 1t may not
have occurred to him that he can make
miniature pond in his back yard in
the city, says Edward r. Bigelow, in
Boys Life.
Sometime ago I was talking with the
owner Of an estate on which was
lake exclusively for his graceful but
expensive waterfowls. In the course
Of our conversation he said: "Many
persons come here processing admira-
ton for my lake or waterfowl. They
tell me that they love such things, but
they are not sincere. What they are
admiring is the wealth that enables
me to have this extensive equipment.
But I began in small way, and any
one who really loves waterfowl and
has a little back yard can have at least
a mother duck and brood Of duck

FIRST USE OF GAS IN WAR
In Crude Form That Weapon was
Employed Centuries Before the
Coming of Christ.

The earliest use of deleterious gases
in siege warfare is recorded in the his
tory of the Peloponnesian wars from
4S1 4O4 B. G. During this struggle
between the Athenians and Spartans
and their respective allies the cities OF
Palatea and Delium were besieged.
Wood saturated with pitch and sui
phur was set on fire and burned under
the walls of these cities in order to
generate choking and poisonous fumes,
which would stupefy the defenders
and make the task Of attacking forces
less difficult. Another form of the
same method of attack used about this
date was to fill caldron with molten
pitch, sulphur and burning charcoal,
and to blow the fumes with the aid OF
a primitive form of bellows and air.
blast over the defenders lines.
Greek-ffe, about which much was
heard in the wars Of the middle ages,
was liquid, the composition of which
is now unknown, that was spurted
through the air, chiefly in sea fights,
in order to set fire to the ships Of the
enemy, and it was used by the Byzan.

RANG OUT ALARM OF FIRE
As Late as Civil War Days New York
Employed Bells to Warn Citizens
Of Danger.

Not longer ago than Civil war days
fire alarms were rung in the city on
great bells hung in towers erected for
the purpose about the town. The bells
indicated the district in which the fire
was and sometimes a good deal Of
ground was covered in looking for
fire. The First district, for instance,
in Civil war days extended from Twen-
ty-second street north to Yorkville and
from the East river to the North.
The bell ringers were constantly on
duty in the towers watching for signs
Of fire. An inventory Of the contents
Of the old Marion street bell tower in
1855 shows the equipment then in use.
It is as follows: "One bell, weight H.
600 pounds; one striking apparatus,
one stove, table, clock, one spyglass,
one field glass, one slate and book"
The fire bells of the old city could
be heard all over the town unless
gale Of wind was blowing. The largest
bell was in the City hall tower. It's
weight was $1,000 pounds.-New York
Times.

Breaking Class Barriers.

If classes already mingle more free
" than they could do forty.years ago,
1T is largely because the elements Of
education are common to all, and the
door has thus been opened to the able
and ambitious to educate themselves.
But If the normal course were much of
a muchness for all classes till the end
OF adolescence there would be an e6u-
Gated community wherein certain gem
eral standards would be as common a
possession as reading and writing are
at the present time, and in such a COM
munity class distinction could only
take a secondary place. General
education is, in fact, the most DER
vasive and the best of democratic
agencies, because 1t levels. all I'M and
pulls nothing down. That is its con-
tribution to social democracy.-Man.

Wars That Made History.

The Civil war in America was fol-
lowed In 1866 the Prusso- Aus
TRAN campaign in Bohemia, which may
be said to have lasted only seven
weeks, since Austria was completely
brought to terms by her first crushing
defeat at Koniggratz. The logical Sc.
quel to the Prussian war Of 1865 with
Austria was the German one Of 1870
with France, though, indeed, 1t may
be said to have been practically de-
cided In less than one month--at Sc
dan-the rest Of the time being but a
long-drawn-out agony Of fighting des.
pair on the part Of the vanquished.

MANDALAY BEST IN WINTER
Burmese Capital Known to All Whites
In India as an Ideal Cold
II Weather Resort.

Doubtless 1t will surprise a great
many persons to learn that Mandalay,
famed Of song and story, is little more
than a half century old. It was built
In 1856 by King Mindon, who made 1t
the capital Of what was then indepen-
dent Burmah.
Something more than 300 feet above
the level of the sea, Mandalay sits
tightly upon stretch Of tableland
just in front Of the Shan hills. The
city proper extends over about five
square miles, but the military district
Of Mandalay covers a more extensive
area.
With the British soldier, Mandalay
has taken on a great deal of the char
acter Of vacation resort. In the tor
rid months Of the Burmese summer
the heat becomes very great, some
times making the thermometer rise to
119 degrees in the shade; but relief is
easily found in the adjacent hills. The
British sanitary officers have succeed
ed in extermin6ting all the fevers and
other diseases with which the climate
was once infested.
In winter-or Us near to winter as 1t
gets-Mandalay becomes a semipara-
disc, for the temperature stays at
about so degrees. Happy the British
soldier who is assigned to this garri-
son.

Friday, Sept. 27, 1918 Forrest KEN
nedy was elected president Of the
body, Theron Carruth as vice-presi-

Robert HIGHLAND as vice-president and
Marie Dore as secretary and treas
urer.
Work will commence on the high
school annual Monday, Sept. 30. The
seniors report most promising and
pleasing annual this year.
This year seems a constant string
of excitement for the classmen. The
freshies have shown that they are
indeed lively Bunch" and the up
per classmen have shown that they
are not to be beaten.
Wednesday evening the sopho-
mores together with the freshies
hoisted their colors upon the flag
staff at the high school grounds and
the juniors and seniors tried to take
them down. What resulted and the
effects of the rush can only be told
by those who took part in the strug-
gle. The teachers seem to take
particular interest in the doings of
the classmen and all seem to be en-
joying themselves to the greatest ex-
tent.
