Laxatives Swallowed In Almost Inflntte Variety. Besides the abuse of drugs in rheu- matism and its sad results, seri another 2S abuse of the same kind was sed at the session of the Interna- tional Medical Congress at Paris, says the New York Post. This is the pres- t fashion of taking laxative medi- eine in large quantities and in almost infinite varicty.

SCENT OF ONION. By Any Other Name Than Sulphuret af Allyle It Would Be as Sweet. It is interesting to make inquiry fato tke cause of this unfortunate quality of the onion. It is simply @ue 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 £0 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 the 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 ¢! 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. Zauses Him Trouble Wh ch Results In a Kiss. Having found a purse on the floor of 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 leading hostiery in Paris. An hour later, being on the street near the ho- tel, the s nized 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 French. 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 aad scared her all the more Finally the foolish maiden ran to 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 a woman in distress, would admit the possible truth of Senator Depew’'s laborious explanations. The hotel be- ing near, the po'iceman finally con- sented to accompany Mr. Depew and the lady there, sticking close to the Jady all the way. The purse, which contained a large sum of money, was geturned to the young woman by the clerk, 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. Contrary to the practice which pre- vaiis in many other countries, the de?- 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. Chi'dren, even wien grown, always touch the hands of their parents with their lips before venturing to raise their faces for a Kiss. Girls and young married wom- en, no matter how lofty their dignity | 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. Women's White Silk Watsts. White silk, made in fine, close tucks, with a scrollwork effect in tucks, set across the front of the waist, gives something like a deep yoke effect, the scroll ornamented with very tiny sil- ver beads. There is an invisible fast- ening under the arm and on top of the shoulder. Many of the waists fasten in this way, and give plain effect to the front. Beautiful insertions of lace | -are ‘set to. many .of, them, but the ot! tect ds plain» and simple. 4 MEN-OF-WAR, Are Now Faster than tao Attantle Liners. With the exccpcion af torzeto boats and a few smal oleasure craft, says a writer in Cassicr’s Maga-ine, the American-built Russian cruiser Va riag is today the fastest v: 21 afloat, having recently gone through a seven and a half hours’ trial run at a speed of from 23.6 to 23.7 knots, or 27.14 to 27.25 miles an hour. We need go back only a few years to find a time when the large Atlantic racers, in poiat of regularly attainable speed, were tar beyond anytb'zg that had ever been done in any navy, and their perform- ances were considered practically he- yond reach under the severe condi tions of cramped space, light machin- ery weight, and others similarly re- strictive to the designer. The United States tripie-serew cruiser Minnespo.is about six years ago developed slightly more than 23 knots during her con- tract trials. As in the cases cf. most naval vessels, it was not expecteu that would be demanded hour after hour in a run of several days, and 1895 practical demonstration was given for the first time that a naval veszel could actually hold her own with one of the crack Atiantic liners. This was afforded by the United States cruiser Cotumbia in her phenomenzl - ren frou: the Needles, near Southampton, to Sandy Hook Lightship, off the Amerigan shore, in a few minutes less that seven days, cr, to be exact, in 6 days, 23 hours and 49 minutes, the average speed for the whole trip be- ing 18.54 knots, or 21.3 miles an hour. The Columbia at the time was prac- tically racing against the steamer Au- gusta-Victoria of the Hamburg-Amer- iezn line. for the difference in the length of the two routes, the Auvgusta-Victoria hav- ing sailed from Cherbourg, the same rate of speed was maintained by botn ships. Since that time high-speed. long-distance runs of war vessels lave been repeated, so that the im- pression has at last been wiped out that modern warships were simply boxes fuil of delicate and complex mz- chinery scarcely fitted ter the hard knocks which they were really in- tended to withstand. But among all the swift cruisers and bhatt eships, the Variag’s 23.7 knots give her today first place. “USE OF ENGLISH.” Dictionazy Rightly Used, Next in Inter- est to Bible. Richard Burton in writing in East and West of “The Use of English,” says: “Words, like men, have their ‘strange eventful histories,’ and, again like men, one word in its time ‘plays many parts.’ To follov the ups and downs of a single proper noun—a stupid name since its career is as oftea as not improper and hence doubly fas- cinating—or of a common noun— named with equal stupidity, since its story is likely to be most uncommon— this pursuit, I say, is often as excit- ing as a novel or a football game. Thus it follows thet the dictionary {rightly used and comprehended) is the most interesting of all books, save per- haps the Bible. Dr. Holmes knew this when he made the Autocrat say: ‘When I feel inclined to read poetry I take down my dictionary. The poetry of words is quite as beautiful as that o! sentences. The author may arrange the gems effectively, but their shape and luster have been given by the at- trition of ages. Bring me the finest simile from the whole range of im- aginative writing, and I will show you a single word which conveys a more profound, a more accurate and a more eloquent analogy.’ Emerson had the same feeling when he wrote: ‘It does not need that a peom should be long. Every word was once a poem.’” > A Coffee Murometers It is claimed that tue “coffee” fore- east is a re ie of determining what the ner is going to be. Ia order to tell what ate weather is going to be you must drop carefully into your morning cup of cof prepared with a littie milk, two lu of sugar, Do not st:r the coffee. Ii bubbles ascend rapidly, separate quickly and fly to the side cf the cup, there will be much rain within the next twenty- four hours. If they gather closely and gravitate in a cluster to the side only possible showers may be expected. But if they remain placidly in the cen- ter of the cup you may wear your best hat and leave your umbre!la at’ home when you take your abroad, Telephone Without Wires. At the meeting of the British Asso- ciation for the Advancement of Science at Bradford, England, Sir William Preece, ex-president of the Institution of Civil Engineers, announced that he had successfully transmitted eight miles across sea without the ald of wires and that the establishment of such a system for commercial com- munication was practicable between ships and land. Sir William Henry Preece made several experiments last .| year with an induction system of wire- less telephoning, signaling across the Menai straits and using telephones at both ends to receive the signals. Simplicity of Empercr Joseph. The personal hab.ts. of Emperor Francis Joseph are marked with sol- dier-like simplicity. ,His food is of the plainest, such as an ordinary citizen consumes.

Wilhelmina, the yours queen ef Hol- land, is very pretty, though her beauty threatens in future years to run on somewhat massive lines, Her admiring subjects gaze at her, and then murmar to an acquiescent neighborhood, “Isn't she pretty?” The young queen has fine eyes, a clezr complexion and a glorious tinge of rose-pink in her cheeks.

This little incident set all tongues wagging. It was exaggerated and commented upen ail over Holiand wi.h an anxiety only abated by the covery that the queen’s partner in tha dance had been her uncle, her moth- er's brother, the Prince of Waldeck- Pyrmont. This relative and his w.te, who are both still young, are the only, people with wkom Wilhelmina real ¥ fraternizes in a Tiatural jolly way. Sie has no friends of her own age, and in Holland the royal family is limited to avery smell circle. The two or three princes and princesses available are middle-aged, dowdy, and dull, Yet Wilhelmina obviously enjoys her “splendid isloation.” She gave every- one to understand, on her accession, that she liked independence, and in- tended to preserve it as We as pos- sible. the Fun with Rabbernecks.
