As | roe 10 bid this strong, self-reliant
woman goodbye, l thought once more Of
the long battle she must have fought during
these years of widowhood-a battle that
has been crowned with success such as few

in her literary prime, and her active brain

FLOWERS SERVED AS FOOD.
Strange Uses to Which Buds and Elos'
SONS Are Put.

~
SONS Are Put.
Adinner of a bunch of rOsebudS would
hardly be called a feast, and we should
most likely be inclined to think our.
selves trifed with If we were asked 10
dine upon the great growing blossoms
Of a pumpkin vine, But in Oldcn times
some of the American Indians, notably
the AzteCS, esteemed tlc@C flowers,
when properly cooked, a great dainty.
At the present day the natives Of many
| parts of India depend for food upon tie
blossoms of the baSsia tree. They do
not even need to cook the flowers, but
make a good meal Of them raw, just as
| they gather them up under the trees,
from which they fall in great quantities
during the night.
The American Druggist describes the
blossoms as sweet and sickly in odor
and taste. Sometimes they are dried
in the sun and are kept and sold in the
bazars as a regular article Of diet. The
trees are SO highly esteemed that the
threat Of cutting down their baSsia
trees will generally bring an unruly
tribe to terms. This is hardly to be
wondered at when it is understood that
a single tree will yield from 200 to 400
pounds Of flowers. The Parsees cook
the flowers, and also make sweet
meats of them. But, after all, we arc
not quite at liberty to smile at the
fower-eating ~propcnsities Of these
strange peoples.
There is one flower afforded by our
own gardens that finds a place freely
upon our tables. We are apt to look
upon the delicious CaulifOwer as a cab
bagc, but it is the flower heads and
flower stalks that we consume in thu
caulifOwer, and not the leaves, rs in
the case Of the cabbage. He who eats q
caulifower is a flower enter rs truly
as the Parsee.
Nobody would be inclined to deny
| that smoked fish and smoked meat ara
| agreeable varieties in Our bill Of fare,
but few, perhaps, would feel ready to
| plead guilty to q taste for smoked flow
| ers. And vet, when we give to the clOvG
its well-earned place among our flavor
fngs. we are making use Of a smoked
flower bud. The delicate p~eaCh-colOred
buds grow on a small evergreen and arc
ruthlessly pIucked from the ends of tho
branches before they have had time
to expand. A~fterward they are dried
in the sun, and then slightly smoked
over a wood fire. to give them the brown
| color we are familiar with.-GOuth's
