Born of the lily family, probably in Asia lu the faroff centuries, it grows all over the world. It was well known to the ancient Greeks and Romans. It is mentioned in ancient Egyptian writings and in the Pentateuch. When the Israelites In the wilderness grew weary of manna, they sighed for the good things they had left behind, and they distressed Moses when they lifted their voices in weeping and cried: "We remember the fish which we did eat in Egypt freely, the cucumbers and the melons and the leeks and the onions and the garlic, but now our soul is dried away. There is nothing at all, besides this manna, before our eyes." It was not so much the flesbpots of Egypt that they sighed for as the succulent leek, the pungent onion, the odorous garlic. The onion is the Welsh national emblem. In Spain and Italy garlic, which Is mere ly a condensed onion, enters into near ly all dishes of both the rich and poor. The onion thrives in Siberia and In Honduras. It flourishes on the Nile and on the Mississippi. It was a fa vorite with the Ptolemies of ancient Egypt, and it finds favor with the highest and the lowest In Macon and Charlotte. The lady of Shalott died of a broken heart because she had to give up either onions or her lover. Her lover was one of those finicky fellows who objected to the odor of onions, and she would not give up the shallot The onion is all right. It never seeks to conceal itself. It is about the only thing in hash in which one can have confidence.—Nashville American. DISPERSING A MOB. Efficacy of a Fire Hose or a Stout Rawhide Whip. "A good stout rawhide whip In the hands of a policeman would be one of the most effective riot breakers I can readily think of," said a police inspect or. "There is nothing the average crowd of roughs fear more than a raw bide in the hands of an expert unless, indeed, it Is a stream of water from a fire ho6e. Before the stinging lashes of a rawhide there is no crowd which would not cringe and fade away. Then where there are children in a mob a cop does not want to nail one of the little ones on the head with a night stick. A crack of the whip would be less cruel and quite as effective. It is usually the sharp crack of the lash that does the trick, as much so as the sting. In Russia the clout is used with more deadly effect than the rawhide or blacksnake whip could ever be used. Of course there is danger of putting out the eyes of some one with the cracker of the whip, but then, too, there is danger of breaking some heads when the night stick Is ap plied. "Did you ever see a crack driver from the rural district handle a long whip? He has It down so fine that he can flick a coin out of your fingers ^twelve feet away. A policeman could become equally proficient with prac tice. It would be Just the wrinkle In many cases where there Is a mob to handle. A whip and afire hose would make a great battery. The fire In many a rioter has been extinguished by the cold stream from one of those two Inch noxsles."—New York Times. Fear and the Hair. That fear will cause the hair to stand on end has been known through the centuries, ever since a spirit passed be fore the face of Job's comforter, Eli pbaz, the Temanite, and "the hair of my flesh stood up." At the execution of a horse stealer in 1825 the man's spiritual attendant noticed that when his hands were tied "his hair—long, lanky, weak iron gray hair—arose gradually and stood perfectly upright and so remained for some short time and then as gradually fell down." Car dinal Pacca saw Plus VII.'s hair stand erect from anger, and Ecclesiasticus records that "the talk of him that sweareth much maketh the hair stand upright" As Others 8aw Him. A day or two ago It fell out that an actor with a purpose was clnemato graphed on the stage and was vastly pleased with the result Said he gleefully to a prominent dra matic critic, "It was the most extraor dinary experience I ever went through —actually to see myself acting." "Now," said the prominent dramatic critic, "yon understand what we have to put up with."—Pall Mall Gazette. Marriages. Celibacy does not pay.
