Goad QualitUi of the Otlon and Haw

Tho experiem e of thono who have
tried the onion euro in thut it works
wonders in restoring a cold racked
hvhIciu to U normal titate.
An onion cure lircnUiiht inoiinh
tt poached egg on toiml, three table
ioonfuU of fried oiiionn and a cup
of 'coiTco. liuncheou of aandwichrK
ii i in 1 0 of brown bread, buttered ami
tilled with iinelv chopped raw on

makes the aecond meal on the ached
tilit. i'or supper tho onions may be
fried an for hreukfimt and eaten
with a chop and a baked rjota to.
Onion pluatera are pri.eribed to
break up hard cough. They are
made of fried onions placed between
two nieces of old lnuhlin. The plas
ter im kept quite hot until the pa
tient is sougly in bed, when it is
placed on the client, to stay over
tiilil. Onion sirup is claimed by somo
to bo uneipjalcd an a cure for a bad
cold in tlm client.
Window Tranaparaneiaa.
Window transparencies are much
in favor, and they are easily made.
The kI is first cleansed with al
cohol, after which the steel engrav
ing or half tone picture which is to
1m; transferred is cleansed with a
sponge. With a soft brush apply a
paste made of alum and one ounce
of nitrate of strontium to the face
of the print and to the glass.
Jjiy the picture face downward
and with a tiry cloth press until ev
ery part of tho picture has adhered
to the glass and no blisters are left.
Then lay the glass away until per-!
fectly dry, which will take several'
hours. i
When dry, wet the paper and
commence running ii on. -everui
wetting may be necessary before
nothing but the outline of the pic
ture remains. Oil with three parts
of castor oil and oil of lavender
mixed. If too thick add turpentine.
Place in a transparency metal frame
and hang in the light or sef in the
window pune.
Bedroom Hanglnga.
Nothing is prettier or more dain
ty for bedroom decoration than the
upholstery dimities in the old Eng
lish style. They can be got in many
patterns and launder beautifully, s
are more durable than a (liuusy fab
ric. They may be used in the en
tire decoration of the room for ho?t
spread, canopy, window hanging
and dressing table covers.
At the windows it is prettieft to
bang the curtains straight lmvn
each side, with a full vailance arros
the top. Cushions for chairs and
corner seats can be made to match
too.
andwiehaa of Buttar and Honay.
Butter and honey seem to have
been a favorite combination in Bi
ble times and will be found quite as
palatable today. Delicious, sand
wiches may be made by spreading
one slice of bread with butter beat
en to a cream and the other with
hnnKv. Tho honev must be used
sparingly, so that it will not ooze
out on the fingers or tne eaiers.
A Sky Parlor.
Hero ia a story from the veldt:
When Mr. Chamberlain traveled to
Delarcy's country he found that
the only hall available was very
small for the audience be wished to
address. "It me otler you my
parlor," said Delarey. Mr. Cham
berlain consented, but when he
reached the ruins of Dclarey's
house ho found a platform built
out on the open veldt. "But where
ia the parlor?" asked the states
man. "That is the only parlor you
hav left me." replied the soldier.
Do Wet, bv the way, refuses to re
build his dwelling, lie desires it to
remain a perpetual memorial. Lon
don Speaker.
