The final illusion shown by the world’s greatest magicians who will appear at the opera house on Thursday, Dec. 28, is one of the most awe i inspiring-imaginable. It is conducted bv the French memberof the combination, Monsieur Leßoy. By some mysterious means a living woman is spirited awav before the eyes of the audience, aiid a skeleton substituted. I In a second or so more, this self same i woman is brought down from the flies . with a demon pursuing her. The I manner in which all of this is accomplished is marvelous. The act of ! levitation bv Prof. Powell in the last I act is the prettiest thing in the way of I illusions that has l>een seen since the I days of Signor Blitz. A beautiful I sleeping girl is made to rise in midI air with her slumbers undisturbed, thus reposing on the air. the magician I demonstrates absolutely to the astonI ishment of the spectators that she has ino support, by passing a hoop over her bcxly from head to foot. This feat I reveals all the legendary feats of levi- , tation accredited to the Mahatmas of ■ India.

Onions are a kind of all-round good , medicine. A whole onion eaten at bed time will, by the next morning, break the severest cold. Onions make a good plaster to remove inflammation and hoarseness. If an onion is mashed so as to secure all the juice in it it will make a most remarkable smelling substance that will quiet the most nervous person. The strength of it inhaled for a few momments will dull the sense of smell and weaken the nerves until sleep is produced from sheer exhaustion. It all comes from one property possessed of the onion, and that is a form of opium. A HUSBAND SAYS; “ Before my wife began using ] Mother’s Friend F* “JV she could hardly get around.
