ONIONS VIRTUES ARE MANY
Eaters OF odoriferous Bulb Rarely III,
According to Physieians-Aid
to Beauty Seekers.

Onion eaters, as medical men have
noted, are rarely i'll, and that because
onions clear, as nothing else does, all
the poisons and impurities and germs
from the body, according to London
Answers. Onions, in fact are strong
disinfectants, and if sliced raw and
put about sickroom would gather to
themselves all the infectious germs
just as we'll as an expensive dislnfect-
ant would.
1t is for that reason that 1t is ex-
tremely dangerous to eat a cut or
skinned onion that has been exposed
to the air. 1t has cleared the air, but
gathered to it's raw surface what it has
cleared.
Medically, onions are excellent for
insomnia and they aid digestion. Fur
ther, an onion diet Is one of the cures
for rheumatism. This is due to the
large proportion of sulphur oil in
onions.
1t is this oil. too, which produces q
beautiful, clear and velvety complex
ion. Bretons. great onion eaters, are
noted for their smooth skins. Onion
juice, too, gives immediate relief from
pain of wasp and other insects stings.

wo.nan,s Gift of Instinct.

A celebrated lecturer in giving an
informal talk to number of women
on ethics startled his audience, who
fairly bristled with rage, when he an

But" he continued, "you have what
IS far better-an instantaneous appre'

This wonderful gift of instinct said
to belong to womankind, and seldom
appraised at its true value by the so
called stronger sex, is certainly
heaven sent. No amount of cultiva'
ton will develop it, for it IS involun'
tary and is not the result of reasoning
but entirely independent of 1t.
Where man will exert all his
mental faculties In revolving round and
round subject, looking at it from

that he is using calm, cool judgment
he may, nine times out of ten, make
q mistake, when woman's unerring
instinct leaps at one bound to the
right conclusion.

PLENTY OF ROOM IN TRUNK
Small Receptacle Once Sufficed to
Carry All the Worldly Goods of
Noted New EngIander.

Following the discovery, not long
ago, Of an interesting old trunk in
which Daniel Webster carried his legal
papers comes the finding of another
old trunk that George Nixon Briggs,
a former governor of Massachusetts,
carried on his back when he pill
grimaged from the town of Hudson,
N. Y. to Adams, Mass, there to begin
studying law. Governor Briggs has
not remained so fixed in memory as
Daniel Webster. but he was famous
man in his time. and is interesting
today because at the national tenn
perance convention in 1882 he took a
stand for total abstinence. Later, as
president Of the Massachusetts Legis-
lative Temperance society, he marched
in procession through the streets Of
Boston, although on this occasion there
is no record that he carried his trunk.
The trunk, incidentally, is one of the
little ones common a hundred years
ago, and Governor Briggs In Inter
years repaired it. and affixed a card
telling how he had brought it with him
to Massachusetts,. "It contained" he
wrote, "my entire worldly estate. ell
of which was not worth S10."-Chris-
tian Science Monitor.

The modern word mugwump is de-

quomp," meaning great man. a
chief, and is said to have been used
among the Indians and whites OF
Massachusetts and Connecticut in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
The word was later used in humor-
Gus, or satirical sense, and was ap-
piled to q person who thought him.
self of consequence and Importance.
In this sense the word was long in
local use and often appeared in print.
In U. S. political history the term was
first applied in 1884 to the independent
members of the Republican party who
openly refused to support the nomi-
nees of the party for president Of the
United States. and either voted for
the Democratic or Prohibition party or
abstained from voting. The word was
not generally known in any sense be-
fore that time, but it caught the popu-
lar fancy and was at once accepted
by the Independents themselves as an
honorable title.

WON FAME AS ADasmreIRATcR
81, usnsam Maesresor Will Long Be
Remembered for His Good Work
in West Africa.

Sir William Macgregor was not the
least of the bits Of good luck which
this empire owes to the Scottish strain
of it. In the far-sundered areas Of
West Africa and the Western Pacific
he achieved distinction which will not
pass.
The world knew more of him as Pa

pioneer sanitarian who began proc
esses which have made Lagos place
Hvable for the European and more
livable than ever before to its teem-
ing African population.
The pedant may say that "circum-
spice" scarcely applies where the bene-
factor has only cleansed air and roads
and purified water sources; neverthe-
less, to no man could it be attached
more fifty than to Macgregor for his
work in that steady hive of activity.
The natives had real affection for
him, for they knew he believed in
them, and Africans. like most other
sons of Adam. esteem that even above
good drains and pure water. He had
a very clear appreciation of the ter
rible danger of German rule in the
tropics just because of its thorough
ness.
There are endless stories of him on
the coast. One is of an official who
after tour in the bush, told the gov
ernor of an exceptional juju he had
seen-"exactly like a human being.

WATERMELON A. LA FILIPINO
WeII.Meant Effort of Native Chef
Spoiled Surprise American Army
Officer Had Planned.

The Filipinos, 1t seems, have more
than one way Of serving a watermelon.
The melons grown in the far eastern
archipelago are small in size and in
ferior in flavor. Lieutenant Smith,
stationed in one of the towns of north
ern Luzon, hankered for the juicy
lusciousness of melon from his own
sunny southland. So his family in
Tennessee carefully Grated a choice
watermelon and shipped it to him by
express. 1t cost him good many
pesos. but no matter. 1t was beauty
and arrived in perfect condition.
He instructed the cook to prepare a
good dinner that very day; the splen-
did melon was TO be served rs crown
ing glory. The provincial treasurer
the school teacher and the few Ameri-
cans in the town were invited to par
take of a treat that was to be sur
prise 10 them.
The dinner went forward success
fully; but there was much curiosity
concerning the surprise that the host
had promised his guests, and all eyes
were turned frequently toward the
door through which it was expected TO
appear. At last it came. The cook en-
tered, bearing aloft an immense plat
ter, and there came from the company
a chorus of "Ahs!" The platter was
placed on the table under halo, no, q
cloud of-Steam. The melon was
boiled, thoroughly boiled.
The quick rising of the host to his
feet with the carving knife in his hand
convinced the cook that he had better
make the quickest exist possible
which was through the window, and
involved leap of ten feet to the
ground. Reports from the second
barrio on the road leading north were
that he was still running when he
passed through. Lieutenant Smith has
not been able to smile about that wa
termelon yet.-New York Herald.
