By Any Other Name Than Sulphuret of Alyle It Would Be as Sweet. Tt is interesting to’ make inquiry iato the cause of this unfortunate quality of the onion. It is simply due to the presence in some quantity in the bulb of sulphur. It is this sul- phur that gives the onion its germ- Killing property and, makes the bulb so very useful a medicinal agent at all times, but especially in the spring, which used to be—and still is in many places—the season for taking brim- stone and treacle in old-fashioned houses before sulphur tablets came into vogue. Now, sulphur, when united to hydrogen, forms sulphuretted hy- drogen, and then becomes a foul-smeil- ing compound. The onion, being so juicy, has a very large percentage of water in its tissues, and this, combin- ing with the sulphur, forms ‘the strong- ly scented and offensive substance called sulphuret of allyle. This sulphur- et of allyle mingles more especially with the volatile or aromatic oil of the onion; it is identical with the malo- dorant principle found in asafetida, which is almost the symbol of all smells that are nasty. The horse radish and fhe ordinary mustard of our tables both owe their strongly stimulative properties to this same sulphuret of allyle, which gives them heat and acridity, but not an offensive smell, owing to the different arrange- men of the atoms in their volatile oils. This brings us to a most curi- ous fact in nature, that most strange- ly, yet most certainly constructs all | vegetable volatile oils in exactly the | same way—composes them all, wheth- er they are the aromatic essences of cloves, oranges, lemons, cinnamon, thyme, rose, verbena, turpentine or onion, of exactly the same proportion, which are 81% of carbon to 11% of hydrogen, and obtains all the vast seeming diversities that our nostrils detect in their scent simply by a dif- ferent arrangement of the atoms in each vegetable oil—Chambers’ Jour- nal, DEPEW’S BAD FRENCH. Causes Him Trouble Which Results In a Kiss. Having found a purse on the floor oz a hotel near an armchair, where he had seen a pretty girl seated a short time before, Senator Depew deposited the purse with the hotel clerk in a jeading hostlery in Paris. An hour later, being on the street near the ho- tel, the senator recognized by the light of a street lamp, the same girl hurrying home from her call. Desirous of saving her anxiety when she discov- ered her loss, the senator walked briskly after her, and when he had reached her side addressed her in his politest K'rench. The girl, thoroughly frightened and not understanding him, shrieked for help. The kindly senator tried to pacify her, and as she per- sisted in her failure to comprehend, and in crying out for assistance, grew vehement and scared her all the more. Finally the foolish maiden ran to a policeman who had appeared on the scene and appealed for protection. It was only after a long wrangle that the stupid officer of the law, zealous to appear in the light of the rescuer of 2 woman in distress, would admit the possible truth of Senator Depew’s laborious explanations. The hotel be- ing near, the policeman finally con- fented to accompany Mr. Depew and the lady there, sticking close to the lady all the way. The purse, which contained a large sum of money, was gzeturned to the young woman by the elerk, and she, understanding at last, impulsively threw her arms around the senator’s neck, and kissed him on the cheek. Austria an Old Ladies’ Paradise. 4 Contrary to the practice which pre- yails in many other countries, the def- erence shown to women in Austria in- creases with age, and the land is well considered an old ladies’ paradise. No Austrian would ever dream of receiv- ing a lady’s extended hand without bowing to kiss it. Children, even when grown, always touch the hands of their parents with their lips before venturing to raise their faces for ,a Girls and young married wom- do not consider it beneath their dignity to kiss the hands of ladies who have attained a certain age. The men are also extremely courteous, not only to ladies, but to each other. Dritt to the Cities. The Chicago Tribune directs atten- tion to the interesting fact that “while the population of the country at large has increased about 20 per cent during the last decade, the three principal ‘centers of population, New York, Chi- cago and Philadelphia, have gained 44 per cent.” The cities will continue to grow so long as they offer employment and livelihood to increasing popula- tion. It all turns on employment. When that ceases to increase the growth of the cities will cease, and will not be forced by mere desire on the part of persons in the country to live in the town.—Spokane Spokesman- Review. A Whistling People. The natives of Gomera, one of the Canary isles, converse with one an- other by whistling on their fingers, It is possible to understand a message a mile off. Each syllable of a word has its own peculiar sound. Gomera is cut up by a number of deep glens, which are not bridged over, and as it would otherwise be impossible for the inhabitants on separate sides of a glen | to talk to one another without going a long way round to meet, they have hit upon the whistling device as the best means of communication. ‘ i . VULTURE AND SNAKE. | Fight Witnessed When Mexican Line Was Being Surveyed. When the international boundary commission resurveyed the territorial lines between the United States and Mexico the naturalists of the party gathered a earload of natural history specimens. Dr. Mearns, who, with his assistants, collected nearly 20,000 speci- mens of birds and mammals, tells of a fight in the air between a California vulture and a rattlesnake, which he Saw while exploring the Cocopah mountains of Lower California. It was in the early morning. The big bird had seized the snake behind the head and was struggling upward. with its writhing, deadly burden. The snake’s captor appeared aware that its victim was dangerous. The burden was heavy, as the reptile was nearly five feet long. The grip of the bird on the snake’s body was not of the best. The snake seemed to be squirming from its captor’s talons, at least sufficiently to enable it to strike. Its triangular head was seen to recoil and dart at the mass of feathers. It did this once or twice, and then with a sbriek the vulture dropped its prey. The bird was probably 500 feet or so above ob- servers. The astonished meh were then treated to a spectacle se!dom seen. Few birds but a vulture could accomplish such a feat. The instant the snake escaped from the bird’s clutches it dropped earthward like a shot. And like a shot the bird dropped after it, catching it in midair with a grip that caused death. At any rate, the snake ceased to wriggle, and the vulture soared away, to a mountain peak to devour its hard-earned meal. That the snake did not bite the vul- ture and cause its death can only be explained by the, fact that the thick feathers probably protected the flesh from the reptile’s fangs. AERIAL FIRE TRUCK. A Pretty Jolly Sort of Toy for the Amusement of Bigger Boys, Somewhat different from the toy en- gine or truck that the small child drags about on the sidewalk by a string is the aerial fire truck, as it 1s called, made for the amusement of bigger boys. This apparatus, exclusive of the tongue, is about six feet in length, the wheels being a foot or more in height. The tongue handle can be grasped by two boys, constituting the team, or @ drag rope can be made fast to it, so that more boys can tally on to whoop the truck along. There are two lad- ders to this truck, lying one upon the other, and carried like the ladders on a fire truck. There is a seat for the driver, this seat being so made that it fits down upon the top of and over the ladders as they lie upon the truck when not in use. When the laddésrs are to be used the seat is thrown off. The two ladders really constitute an extension ladder, which can be raised to a height of about tweive feet, the raising being done without removing the ladders from the truck, by the op- eration of two cranks. Turning one crank raises the two ladders, lying as they are one upon the other, to the de- sired position upright; turning the other crank raises the ladder that had been uppermost as they lay on tho truck upward now in extension. The aerial truek is sold as a plaything for city use, but it is more often used around a country place, where there is more room and oportunity for its use. In such a place, where a lot of young- sters can yank the truck off on the dead run to some barn or high wall, there to raise the ladders in a great hurry, while a boy mounts to the top with a pail of water, they manage to get a great deal of fun and excitement out of it. Criticises Paris Expo:ition. M. Paul de Cassagnac, in a leading article in Autorite, says the Paris ex- position is a gigantic failure, which will have disastrous results not only for the exhibitors, but for Paris trades- men and the commercial public. M. de Cassagnec cites an instance of pankruptey in the Rue de Cairo, where one day three fine Egyptian camels were sold for $50,and twenty-five beau- tiful white donkeys, brought at great cost from Cairo, were knocked down at auction for $8.50 each, when they would yield more than that if chopped up into Lyons sausages. He says that the number of awards is out of all | proportion to the number of exhibit- ors, and declares that in the face of an epidemic of exposition bankruptcy, | failures, ruins and disaster, this deluge of medals of every imaginable metal and all this junketing, wining, dining, speechifying and self-glorification are as grotesque as it would be to decor- } ate the morgue with flags and roses and illumine it with a blaze of electric lights. United States Ranks Third. It is just as well to be truthful about the rank of the United States at the Paris exposition, as indicated by the awards of prizes, says the Bos- ton Herald. Commissioner General Peck’s _ statement that the United States, ‘After France, secures the great- est honors at the exposition is not cor- rect. The latest figures show that, barring France, it is Germany that is far and away ahead of all other na- tions. The United States comes sec- ond; Great Britain, with the British colonies, third. Germany has secured 251 grand prizes, the United States, 218, and Great Britain 179. As among these three great competing countries Germany triumphs in fifty-one of the 121 classes comprised in the exposi- tion. The United States wins in thiry- one classes, and Great Britain in thirty classes. In other words, the verdict of the international grand juries is that the world’s fair, in proportion to thet of Germany, is as three to five. dic gg aaa bite dil aia Laundred \ at the E Itasca Laundry and I haue just taken my full dress suit to Tom ’ MéAlpine, the Cleaner, to be cleaned Grand Rapids, - Minn.
