It is unfortunate that the onion is gifted
ith such an obstrusive and vociferous fra-
rance. As a vegetable for the table it is a
lecess , and there are "few who do not like to '
it it But it leaves unpleasant traces be-
ind. The onion eater is always avoided in ]
ablic. When he breathes his fellow man '
iels uncomfortable and endeavors to escape. '
very man should eat onions so that all will *
3 on a equal footing. To eat onions is betl
ir than to chew tobacco , which is a filthy
eed. Topics * .
It is indeed incouraging to note that the
omen of Fremont are church goers. Men
ay become wild and profligate and never
irn a cheerful foot toward the sanctuary j
' the Most High ; but as long as the women , j
te very keystone to the arch of the temple
f holiness , remain true and fervent there
hope for the generation. Your true woman
usually more or less religious and the faitli-
r the man wanders fiom the "law and the
istimony" the closer the woman stands by
ic cross of her leligious faith and duty. J
nd it is her influence that saves us from
l era of infidelity that would put France to |

In order to boom your town , says the Salt
ake .News , you must not only talk about it ,
at must also endeavor to beautify and make
attractive. This may be done to a certain i
ctent by making such improvements as you <
insistently cau. It you are not wealthy nor
3dy will expect you to erect a palatial man- <
on , or individually start a large manufacto
ry , but you can do something. You can be
• iendly to every ona , even the strangers
lthin your gates. You cau sustain propo- ,
tions for public improvements , even if tlioy ;
o not personally benefit you at the time , i
ou can repair your fences and sidewalks
ad trim your trees. If possible employ
imebody to do something , if it is only to do '
job of whitewashing , and if you can't help
therwise , you can cheer those men who come ]
j the front with public improvements , i

Some Homely Truths. 1
John R. Hoffer , the editor of a "country"
newspaper , does honor to his profession
and helps his fellow-men by writing out of (
his heart words of comfort and wise sugges- !
tions. They are homely truths for plain peo
ple. We quote the following :
"Giving to others what we do .not need is l
charity to them if they need it , but the giv- !
ing may not be from charity. " *
"It is more honorable to be a good wood-
chopper than a poor lawyer , or a successful J
cobbler than a buugliog surgeon. " i
"The wealthy person whose poor neighbors l
and friends are not benefited by his means ,
does not possess his wealth ; it possesses <
him. " 1
"As the bee gathers honey , even from c
poisonous flowers , so a good man gains
knowledge and even comfort from the most i
adveise circumstances. " c
"Always respect age. There is nothing <
more contemptible and uugentlemanly than
for man to at the
a young sneer ignorance j
or infirmities of the old. " i
' • One of the most foolish weaknesses of t
human nature is that of being ashamed to
acknowledge our mistakes and of making t
prompt efforts to correct them. " t

contested game , last season. The "Famous"

A NARROW MARGIN. . u
Geo. H. Starbuck of the South Side met
h
yith an accident , last Saturday , which came
lear putting an end to his earthly career. It
seems that Mr. Starbuck was loading a revolC
rer , and in placing the cylinder in place , afI I
; er filling same with" cartridges , used undue n
brce. The weapon was discharged , the °
'
