The Dimin ution of Natality.

Anthropological societies are much
exercised over the fact that in some
countries the death rate exceeds the
birth rate to degree that seems to
threaten q comparatively carly termina-
ton of the life of the nation. For in
stance, out of the Sc departments into
which France is divided, in 81 the deaths
exceed the births. The annual natality
for the whole country is only 1877 for
each 1000 inhabitants, and this number
includes the stillborn. In order to
remedy this progressive depopulation,
the French Association for the Advance
ment of Science has set itself to ascer
tain the causes of it. DIR. E. Maurel
pointed out that the birth rate is lowest
in those departments where food Is
most abundant and cheapest. The re-
lation between these two facts he held
to be the prevalence of hereditary
arthritic diathesis (uric acid diathe-
sis), leading to diminution of repro
ductive vigor in both sexes. This
diathesis arises from excessive alimen-
tation. Another speaker, DR.. Pomerol,
attributed the dirnished natality to vol
untary restriction, while others sug-
gested the increase of religious cell
bacy, the laws relating to the division
of property, the lateness of marriages
and the decreased reproductiveness Of
women.-St Louis Republic.

FLOWERS SERVED AS FOOD.
Strange Uses to Which Buds and Bios
sums Are Put.

Strange Uses to Which Buds and Blos-
sums Are Put.
A dinner Of a bunch OF rosebuds would
hardly be called feast, and we should
most likely be inclined to think OUR
selves trifled with if we were asked to
dine upon the great growing blossoms
of a pumpkin vine. But in olden times
some of the American Indians, notably
the Aztecs, esteemed these flowers,
when properly cooked, great dainty.
At the present day the natives Of many
parts of India depend for food upon the
blossoms of the bassia tree. They do
not even need to cook the flowers, but
make 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 siclxly in odor
and taste. Sometimes they are dried
in the sun and are kept and sold In the
bazars as 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
| 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 are
not quite at liberty to smile at the
fower-eating propensities of these
strange peoples.
There is one flower afforded by our
own gardens that finds place freely
upon our tables. We are apt to look
upon the delicious cauliflower as cab
bagc, but it is the flower heads and
| flower stalks that we consume in the
cauliflower, and not the leaves, as in
the case of the cabbage. He who eats a
caulifower is flower eater as truly
as the Parsee.
Nobody would be inclined to deny
| that smoked fish and smoked meat are
| agreeable varieties in our bill of fare,
| but few, perhaps, would feel ready to
| plead guilty to a taste for smoked flow
ers. And yet, when we give to the Glove
its well-earned place among our flavor
| ings, we are making use of smoked
flower bud. The delicate peach-colored
buds grow on small evergreen and are
ruthlessly plucked from the ends of the
branches before they have had time
to expand. Afterward they are dried
in the sun, and then slightly smoked
over wood fire, to give them the brown
color we are familiar with.-Youth's
| COMPANION

At the Social Union the other night,
Gen. Howard told of the apprehensions
felt by some Apache Indians when they
found themselves for the first time on
a railroad train, rushing along on their
way to Washington. They looked anx-
iously out of the windows for a long
time, counting the hills as they passed.

might find their way back! But finally
