ALL OVER THE HOUSE
(The Value of an Onion Outside the
Reaim of Food.
; .The healing properties of the
Onion are by ho means tfie least of
its virtues. There is nothing to
surpass its food effects in relieving
jeatarrh. Peel and slice it, boil till
tender, strain off the liquor, sweeten
it with sugar candy and the result
will prove the best cough mixture
in the world. It should be taken in
dessertspoonfuls when the cough is
troublesome. The’juice of a boiled
onion with a few drops-of vinegar
will stop bleeding of the nose, and
forms an efficacious soothing rem
edy for insect bites. Last, though,
not least, there is nothing better for
the prompt relief and removal ( of
corns. The onion, after soaking in
vinegar for three to four hours, can
be tied on to the painful part over
night, and will so loosen the hard
substance that it can easily be re
moved with the hand. It has the
same effect on old standing warts,
and it is excellent as stiekpfiast
since it has been known to secure
broken metal of all kinds. The
article which needs mending should
first be thoroughly washed, with
soda and water, then the onion juice
may be painted on, with excellent
and unfailing results.
New Bureau Covers.
One inch insertions in the • new
colored lace, yellow, blue, pink,
though of rather -crude shades, look
pretty as a frame round plain trans
parent muslin slips for the 1 toilet
table. Crochet edgings, especially
of Irish make, are now employed as
borders to muslin covers, embroid
ered white or in natural' colors.
Darned net and guipure d’art are
once more fashionable for the pua>
pose, with the introduction of tinsel
threads and dainty ribbon bows.
The strongest slips are, perhaps,
those consisting of a deep scroll
border fashioned with coarse half
inch braid and connected with
crochet work instead of lace
stitches. Crochet likewise replaces
the narrow drawn work insertion,
sewed along the central band in
linen. Through the openwork is
threaded a dainty ribbon, tied at
each of the four corners into a bow.
Tacked on to a .cheery glazed lining
these covers last clean .a long time
and wash beautifully. Any fancy
is admissible for the covers, hence
any odds and ends pan be utilized
and set off with fancy embroidery
stitches, neither too light nor too
heavy for the material.
Label Your Bottles.
For convenience sake, if for no
other reason, label all your bottles,
cans and boxes. In the end labels
are a great time saver. How much
better to run the eye along a line of
neatly labeled cans, reach the shelf
and take down the ground allspice
than to begin at the row numbering
eleven or more, touch the tongue to
every one and sniff suspiciously un
til the correct spice is found. Mis
takes often occur from unlabeled
medicine bottles. It is almost im*
possible to pick up a daily paper
which does not contain an account
of some unhappy woman drinking
poison in place of a tonic. Then
harrowing tales are told of the baby
being rubbed with a solution of cor
rosive sublimate in alcohol because
the insect eradicator happened to be
in a bottle bearing the old label of
alcohoL
For the China Closet.
Some pretty things are being
brought out in the new chinaware
of the season. Among them are
some attractive stone jugs. They
are made in both buff color and sage
green and in two sizes—pints and
quarts. One style is in a bamboo
pattern, another is decorated with
relief designs, illustrating the ad
ventures of Tam O’Shantei, while
a third shows a bulrush pattern.
.These jugs are copies of original
Bidgway stone molds cast in 1835.
Cameo china is another novelty that
is daintily pretty. It is on the
same order as the famous Dresden
china, and has a beautiful Dresden
floral decoration. Each piece is
elaborately traced in gold.
Object to Night Crowing.
This, is a portion of an official no
tice issued in Cape Colony: “For
obvious reasons the present cock
crowing by night must cease.Besi-
dents of the town will therefore
please arrange not to have more
than one male .fowl =o£ a crowable
age in their possession after the
18th inst.” .

Tried to Go It Alone.
“Cluck, cluck!” said Mother Hen.
calling very loudly to her little, ones.
for.it was. getting dark and the
nights were cold. It was quite time
for her large family to go straight
to bed.-
Very obediently the little chicks
came running to her call and snug
gled up under her wings. There
were ten of them altogether, but
Mother Hen only counted nine.
“Why, where's Pecky?” she said.
“What a nanghtv child she is! She
never will go "to bed when she’s
-called.”
“If yon please, mother,” said
Tawny, the eldest of. the chicks,
who was always sent ont to mind
the others, “Pecky heard yon call,
bnt 'she wouldn’t come. She said
she was growing np and it was too
early, to: go to bed.” j
' “Oh, did shed” said Mother Hen.
“Well, let her be. She will soon be
frightened at being ont alone.”
Bnt Pecky was in no hurry. She
marched up and down the farmyard
very independently and took no no
tice at all of her mother’s calls.
“Ridiculous,” she said. “Why,
it’s quite light. Any one would
think I was a baby a few days old.
I shall "go for a ’ stroll and seV how
my friends the ducklings are.”
; But when Pecky came to the duck
pond she found it was quite desert
ed, and a muffled quack- from a
neighboring house told her that all
vthe little ducks, too, had gone to
‘bed. . . \ ’ t v [ I; - ■ ■
“They certainly are a lot 1 of
sleepy heads,”' said Pecky. “Oh,
well, I must enjoy myself alone. I
expect I shall catch it, but it’s ab

The new dry goods - clerk was
stamping Ms check book “515”
when a group of salesgirls surround
ed him.
“Where did you get that num
ber?” demanded a black eyed dam
sel, pointing to the book.
“Why—why”— stammered, the
new clerk, dismayed at tMs unex
pected onslaught, “from the head
of the department, of Bourse.”
“Well, you’re mean—that’s what
.yon are,” said the girl with the
bronze gold pompadour, with a
withering glance. “We all were
watching for. a chance at. it.” .
“You see,’’ explained the third
girl, “that’s a lucky number.. Both
the girls that had it got married.
We sent the last one a cut glass
olive dish just. tMs week... One of
ns ought to have got her number.”
The trio nodded thei?. heads em
phatically, and the young man
smiled weakly. Then, with a happy
thonghty he munpnred.:
“Well, maybe I wanted to get.
married too” . .
The three .salesgirls sniffed, and
as they moved away she . of the.
bronze gold pompadour exclaimed
sarcastically:
“Just as if he had to wait f.or a
lucky checkbook to settle that!”—

The Rev. G. F. WELLS, of Villa Ridge,

received in good condition. I cannot tell
you how thankful I feel for the good de
rived from it. I was a slave, chained with
putrid sore throat and Asthma for ten
years. I despaired of ever being cured. I
saw your advertisement for the cure of this
dreadful and tormenting disease, Asthma*
and thought you had overspoken your
selves, but resolved to give it a trial. To
my astonishment, the trial acted like a
charm. Send me a full size bottle.”
