LOVE’S ONION’ COMPACT.

There are many curious phases of amatory
conditions which are peculiar to individual
cases. It may be that love, in its essential
qualifies, is the same in every instance, but
there are wide variations in the phenomena.
Its manifestations are infinite in their vari-
ety, and many are unique and interesting. A
specimen or two of some forms or symptoms
developed by the lovelorn may be worth
presentation.

One day in summer time, when the June
roses were radiant with bloom and the air
was heavy with the scent of flowers, I was
stopping at a hotel in Madison. It is a place
whose romantic beauty, rolling site, innumer-
able lakes, and horizon, low in the distance
and thinly veiled in mystery and blue, are
designed expressly, as it were, for the devel-
opment of the aesthetic and the growth and
expansion of erotic buds and blossoms.

There was a languor distilled through the
flower scented atmosphere which permeated
the veins and produced that ardent, passion-
ate, yearning characteristic of the presence
of love.

One morningI went, a little after the usual
hour for breakfast, into the dining room and
found, as I anticipated, that the majority of
the guests had been served and had gone
away. It was a superb morning, bright, in-
cpiriting, with an air that stimulated like old
wine. The park of the capitol grounds was a
great mam of green, bathed in sunlight, and
filled in its depths with cool shadows; in the
distance the lake shone under the glances Of
the ardent sun, and beyond a tender haze
purpled the landscape up to the sky line.

But two people remained at the table.
They were seated near one of the spacious
windows that overlooked the glorious view
of the scenery without, but their gaze was
fixed not on the externals, but on each other.
It was a charming young girl and a manly,
handsome young man; she about eighteen,
he about twenty-one. They were admirable
contrasts—she, blonde, slender, with tender
blue eyes, delicate features and an air of re-
finement; he, strong, dark, masculine, with
dark brown hair and eyes of deep black.

That they were enamored of each other,
that they were fascinated, enchanted, was
evident at sight. They Only threw a look
around when I entered, so absorbed were
they in gazing at each other, and in a low
conversation, with intervals like the rests in
musical notation. ,

I seated myself in close vicinity to them at
another table. They were munching slowly
on something in a dish between them, and
my eyes took them in. I wondered what am-
brosia furnished their nutriment, what deli-
cate nectar would quench their thirst. Surely
these two so pal'pably adoring each other
would require food purged of all grossness;

mething attenuated, ethereal, suitable to
the spirit rather than the flesh.

While thus wondering there crept into my
nostrils a familiar aroma, pungent, penetrat-
: . g, unmistakable. I glanced at the dish be-

ween them, and in the milk white material,
with its well known curves and surface stria-
ions, I recognized—onions, raw and odorous.

It was with a shock that this revelation
resented itself, and for a moment I rejected
I't as a base slander on the fastidious appear-
ng and elegant couple. I accused my vision
0f treacherous deception in the spectacle
which it offered me, and my sense of smell of
diotic stupidity in conveying so coarse a
.uggestion. I tried to throw off the frightful

onviction that it was onions as an unwar-
anted and hideous insult to their refinement,
; n d especially to the young girl, who was as
ure in her gentle eyes as an infant.

But I could not entirely throw out the evi-
L-nce of eye and nostril; it was at length
learly revealed as a dish of raw onions,
"hich they were nibbling and swallowing as
hey gazed lovingly at each other and cooed

ueir devotion in low tones.

Most observers, in view of the fact that
he hotel was filled with guests of wealth and
ulture, who had come here from the heated
egions to spend the summer months, would
.-: ve concluded that the onion eating was the
» tgrowth of a coarse appetite and a flagrant

.eflance of the sensitiveness of those with
hom they would come in contact. At the
lrst I was inclined to take this view, but the
.- ore I regarded the couple the more was
'convinced that the somewhat vulgar repast
ad some higher meaning than a gratifica-
ion of a liking for this alliaceous edible,
lose of kin to the disreputable look and

For some time I studied the problem offered
y the spectacle, and tried to discover why

‘ . e myrtle had been discarded for the Onion.
he former, sacred to Venus, would have
. med more appropriate than the plebeian
nion for these enraptured lovers. It was
my after a long time of thought that I
eached a satisfactory answer, one that rec-
nciled the refinement of the charming and '
evoted pair to their abominable feast.

To convey my conclusion to the reader, I
-..-_ to be permitted to draw on my imagina-
on for a conversation between the youth-
nd the maiden as they met by appointment
. the parlor of the hotel in order to break-

together.

The night before they had spent with some
.mpany and were unable to manifest their

preme attachment save by swift glances

ighted with love, and an instant exchange
hot hand pressure when they accidentally
ere thrown together. They separated at

-. time without an opportunity to say more
an a hasty, tender good night.

They chatted for a few minutes before they

ended to the dining room. Thus ran their
nverse, true, genuine love talk:

l “Good morning, Willie.”

l “Good morning, little Daisy. How is my
Var sweetheart this beautiful morning?”
'7' en, nobody being in sight, he put his arms
-‘,. ut her, drew her to his breast, and their

. - came together in a long, clinging kiss. A

eat sigh, as they fell apart, bore evidence
‘ their deep souled satisfaction.

“Do you see what a beautiful morning this
' ’ he asked. “See how the sun lights up

e earth and sky, just as you smile splendors
': er my soul, dear, dear sweetheart."

"Oh, darling boy, you flatter me. Oh!”

(1 she laid her head on his breast, and wil-

"y, languid, she gazed with a divine light

. . ‘ g her blue eyes. “Do you love me,

ling, do you love me?”

‘Yes, yes, a thousand times yes, do I love

u little girl i”

- _ain their lips meet as . he bends down

er the flushed andappealing face. '

‘How much does my boy love his little

l—ever and ever and ever 'so much!

.re’n all the world?” .

‘Yes, pettie, more’n all the stars and space

put together.”

I . on they saunter down the stairway. The“

 

 

movement of her lips reveal her recognition
of his wing touch.

“Thank heaven, there is no one here!” they
exclaim as-they enter the dining room. They
seat themselves side by side at a table in the
furthest corner. ~

The waiter is temporarily out of the room,
and the couple avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to converse.

“Who’s my precious darling?” she asks.
with an intonation as if she were uncertain
and wished information whatever on the
points . '

“I don’t know; who is it?” he responds, as“
if he had no knowledge on the subject.

“Don’t you knOw? Well, this is my pre-

tablecloth and clasps his hand, while from
her eyes there flows a melting tenderness as
she gazes into his face.

“Am I? Oh, you sweet, sweet, sw-eet
little darling!” and there is a convulsive pres—
sure of their clasped hands underneath the
end of the table.

Meanwhile the waiter has placed their
breakfast before them.

“I ain’t a bit hungry,” she says with a
charming air of languor.

“Aren’t you? You poor little sweetheart!
Try and eat just a little, just to oblige your
ownest own.”

She delicately peeks like a slender bird at
the food and then drops her fork.

“Oh, I can’t eat anything. Let’s talk.”
She looks pleadingly into his face and contin-
ues: “Tell me again if you love me, darling.
Do you, do you?”

“Yes, my beautiful queen; you know I do,
don’t you, little sweetheart?”

“Whose splendid darling are you? Whose
noble boy are you, can you guess?” she que-'
ries, with a tone full of wooing sweetness.

“Yours?” he asks, with a tender expression
on his face.

“You know you are my beautiful lover,
my splendid darling, my lovely boy! You
know you are, now don’t you?”

“Yes; I do know. And now who is my
idol, my queen, my blue eyed, sweet lipped
sweetheart?”

“You know. It’s me!” she says, with
rapturous effusion.

And thus they murmur on, the world for-
getting and by the world forgot. There are
intervals of silence eloquent With the shifting

lights and shadows of her eyes, and the wor-
shiping expression of the youth as he watches
her mobile face.

“There !” she ejaculates as she recovers her-
self, “somebody has come in. See, he is com-
ing this way. He is where he can hear us.
Isn’t it horrid that he should come? We will
have to leave, all on account of him.”

“I’m so sorry, my angel,’ We will go out
and spend the day together, and you’ll be
better.”

“But I’m afraid, my own, that we’ll be in-
terrupted by intruders. There are .so many
here, and you’re so darling that some
of these hateful women will take you away
from me, and then I’ll die!”

“No, my idol, never !”

A troubled look came into the blue eyes of
the girl, touching sadness spread over her
face, and her chin quivered from uncontrol-
able emotions. Suddenly her eyes fell on the
display of food and dishes, a flash of inspira-
tion lighted up her countenance and she said,
as with a swift motion she picked up one of
the dishes:

“See, darling, here are some onions. Let
us both eat them and that will bind us to-
gether. To the rest of the world we will be
offensive, to each other there will be no
change.”

They ate the onions, and instead of the in-
dulgence of a. vulgar taste it was in the na-
ture of a sacrament. It was a compact that
bound them to each other and which isolated
them from the remainder of the world. It
was a guarantee that for a long time she
would not receive the attentions of some
other man and that he would not flirt with
another woman.

When I lighted on the true meaning of the
spectacle it seemed a charming development
of the affection which possessed them.. It was
a pledge of adhesion that could not be vio-
lated; it bound them to each other as with
chains of steel: it secured isolation for their
love and its sweet manifestation. I rever-
ently named it not eating onions but the onion
sacrament. ,

It may be thought by old maids, by younger
women whose veins run with cold currents
from a glacier heart, that the conversation
which I have given to these two lovers is ex-
aggerated, impossible, silly, absurd. It is
nothing of the kind; they are the expressions
of a profound attachment; they are the gen-
uine language of the enamored couples that
haunt twilight recesses, who frequent dusky
retreats, who seek isolation, and who, in
gentle murmurs, exchange their mutual ado-
ration.

These are enchanting hours when the youth
and the maiden whisper to each other their
passionate thoughts in speech unique but
fondly expressive; when smiles ripple over
the lips; when all the words are honeyed and
balsamic; when clasped hands are a line over
which electric impulses pass and repass, thrill-
ing with their rapturous influences; when her
head is pillowed on his breast; when her up-
turned eyes beam into his with a bewitching
gladness; and when the future seems rose
hued, caressing, equable in its felicitous prom-
uses. 0

Let no one mock at these revelations. The
onion sacrament has a. broad, deep meaning
apart from its superficial observance. It was
the suggestion, the creation of a love that
was willing to undergo the test of suffering.
While redolent to others of an unsavory
flavor, it was to them as fragrantas the sweet
breath of roses., It was in their estimate an
aromatic incense which was most acceptable
at the altar of the divinity of love.——Poliuto
in Chicago Herald.

Gaslight a Health Agent.

Gas jets may be made important auxiliaries
to ventilation. Inserted in the bottom of air
shafts, they establish active currents, which
withdraw the vitiated air. A cubic foot of
illuminating gas can be utilized so as to cause
the discharge of 1,000 cubic feet of air, and a
common gas burner will consume nearly
three feet of gas an hour, so that the quantity
of" contaminated air that would be extracted
from an apartment during that time would
be 3,000 feet. By suitable contrivances, gas
lights, the effects of which are but too often
pernicious, may not only become self venti-
lating, but may be also made to contribute
materially to the purification of the air of in-
habited apartments—New Orleans Picayune.

Kentucky Coal in Italy.

It is a fact not generally known that a
great deal of Kentucky coal is shipped to all
parts of the civilized world. The cannel coal
of Breckenridge county; the finest variety in
the world, is the product which finds its way
into the foreign. market. One of the princi-
pal of these markets is Italy. Hundreds of
tons of the smooth, jet like blocks from be-
neath Kentucky’s grassy soil find their way
to the Italian shores. There the cannel coal
is used in the production of gas that lights up
many a fairy scene, where the sun kissed sig-
noritas listen to the words of the gallan'ts at

 

their side. -New York Telegram.

“I paid $200 for the dozen,” proclaimed a
)ortlylady 'whosewealth has not lost its fine
sdge of novelty, as she poured the fragrant
ouchong for her favorite nephew one after-
noon.

“Then let me tell you, aunt, they’re not
genuine; you can’t buy Sevres at that fig-
ire.” ‘ v
“Pray, Mr. Impertinence, why can’t I?”

“While I was in Paris I thought I would
rurprise you, so I ran out to the factory at
Sevres, meaning to buy some after dinner
:ups from first hands.” ,

“Good boy.”

“What were the prices, do you suppose?”

“Eighty or $100 a dozen, probably.”

“Six hundred dollars a dozen for quite
plain ones,and 60 per cent. import duty to
Jring them home. No, aunt, I did not invest
my savings.” ‘ _

Next morning the portly lady’s brougham
stopped before a large establishment and the
portly lady alighted, in an irascible temper.
"Are those cups you sold me genuine Sevres?”

“Really, madam”—

“Are they Sevres?”

“If you press me, they go by that name,
ind they are a very beautiful ware, decorated
in Sevres patterns, but they were made in
Paris. There’s practically no real Sevres in
the market.”

Smash! A package in the lady’s hands was
hurled violently to the floor, shivering its
contents and making, with the picturesque
language which attended the demolition, an
interesting'little incident which will be re-
membered long in the annals of china shop-
ping—New York Letter. v

Youthful Depravity. .

Carl and Ruth, brother and sister, aged 6
and 4, are known to their immediate rela-
tives and to a good many besidesas “terrors.”

The other afternoon they were engaged in
a very promising sparring contest, when their
mother intervened with some violence, took
both contestants by the collar and set them
down sharply on the floor, one on one side of
the fireplace and the other on the other side.
Then she seated herself between them‘.’

“There!” she exclaimed; “now stay there,
exactly where you are, and I forbid you to
make a sound!”

There was something unusually peremptory,
perhaps, in this treatment, and for a. few
moments the “terrors” were cowed. Carl sat
silent, blinking and looking puzzled. His
mother would have sworn that he was study-
ing up some means of getting around her com-

mands. And presently she was astonished to _

see him extend his hand solemnly toward

' Ruth, with the remark:

“Let us pray!”

And the two children fell on their knees,
while the boy repeated the Lord's Prayer. He
knew his mother couldn’t spank him for that.

Telegraphy in Conversation.

An expert woman telegrapher was telling
odd things connected with her profession.

“Do you know how many more ways teleg-
raphers have of communicating among them—
selves than ordinary mortals have?” she asked.
“No? Well, I’ll tell you. Not long ago, in a
crowded house, I saw an associate to whom I
very much wished to say a few words. She
was within easy hearing distance of me, but I
could not get close enough to her to whisper
what I wished to say, and I could not even
catch her eye. Suddenly Ithought of some—
thing. I noticed that the frame of the chair
in which I was sitting was iron. I took my
latchkey out of , my pocket and, striking the
frame of the chair, tapped out her full name.
Her practiced ear caught the sounds at once.
She turned and saw me. Then I tapped out
my full message on the rim of my chair. She
took her latchkey from her pocket and sent
an answer in the same way. Not a word was
spoken, and only two or three persons noticed
the clicking, and these did not understand
what it meant.”—New York Evening Sun.

 

Talking a. Natural Gift.

Mrs. Mary A. Liverm'ore is a woman who
talks because she cannot help it. She has
something to say, and she says it royally.
The knowledge of the gift which she possesses
came to her quite accidentally, and not until
she had lived her life; as most women live it,
and had had the experiences which had broad-
ened her into the woman which she is, and
made her ready for the work that was to-be
put into her hands to do.

She had no ambition. to become a public

speaker; she had no thought about it at all:
she stumbled into it. She was in the work of
the sanitary commission, one Of the active
workers down in the hospitals and on the
battle fields of 'the Southwest, and her heart
was full of the needs and wants of the boys.
She came north for supplies, and it became
necessary for her to tell the story of her need.
Then, and only then, came to her the knowl-
edge of this wonderful gift, which since then
has not been withheld from the world—Bos-
ton Herald. .

Grape Fruit and Shaddock.

Many persons use the words shaddock and
grape fruit interchangeably, and the shad-
dock is, in fact, a near relative of the grape
fruit, but is much larger, often weighing
from three to five pounds. It is also coarser
than the grape fruit, and has not yet proved
very .useful, but the tree and fruit as they
adorn the lawns of many southern homes are
strikingly beautiful. The fruits grow singly
on the trees, and look like veritable pump-
kins suspended from twigs. The tree comes

from China and Japan, and was first brought ,
’ to the West Indies by one Capt. Shaddock,

from whom the name was taken—Garden
and Forest.

A. Bacillus in Warts.

Dr. Kuhneman has found in sections of
Warts (verruca vulgaris) a bacillus which is
always present in the prickle layer. It has
distinctive qualities as regards its capacity
for color, and is found both between and'in
the cells. Its form is that of exceedingly
delicate, slender rods, the thickness bearing
the proportion to the length of one m six. It
is seldom found in the skin surrounding the
warts, and is found most plentifully‘when
the wart is recent—Philadelphia Record.

 

Insist on Dry Wood.

Whatever kind of fuel is used, insist upon
it being good; if you burn wood, have at least
half of it dry. Green wood can be burned
sometimes, but never attempt to bake with it.
Nothing less than a saint can keep her tem-
per'and cook breakfast over asulky, unde-
cided fire, when the kitchen is blue with
smoke and the wood sings psalms and sheds
tears. -—Good Housekeeping. '

other at the side. The dining room is simi-
larly equipped. It has a large china closet
which connects with the table in the kitchen
by means of a slide. The kitchen is 11% by
12 feet. It will be seen that there is a space
for the kitchen range or stove near the flue,

which does not conflict with the use of any

other part of the kitchen. The pantry is quite
convenient to the kitchen.

As to the bedrooms, there is a convenient
place for bedroom furniture in all of them.
There is at least a choice of two places for
each bed, a Space for a dressing case where it
will get the best light, and room for a wash-

ample capacity. ’ ' '

 

Two Novel Screens.

SCREENS. '

In the design given on the left of the picture '

is a new combination-of newspaper rack and
screen. That 'which .in ordinary circum-
stances would ‘be the central division of the
rack is heightened and made to assume the
character of a screen frame. The uprights
should be about an inch or an inch and a
quarter in thickness, in order to allow for the
half inch movable frames, which would back
up to one another, the faces being flush with
the surrounding wood work. Closed, the ar-
ticle would become an ordinary screen. It
could be instantly converted into a portfolio
stand by opening the screen panels upon the
angle and securing them by brass chains and
hooks. A convenient table is next obtained by
further lowering the frames, which would
then be supported upon the dwarf partitions
in the front and rear of the central screen
frame. Thus, without being at all compli-
plicated in construction or expensive in line,
the combination would fulfill a threefold pur-
se.

The other screen is designed upon less pre—
tentious and costly lines. It represents an
extremely simple application of the fan prin-
ciple, and answers the requirements of a fold-
ing screen. Upon the facepof it, the action
is so simple that it is not necessary to indulge
in a lengthy description. It is pretty and
effective in appearance.
