Why He DIDN'T Shoot.

A Utican who is q fine shoe, a fre.
quent visitor to the Adirondacks, and
q great lover of the woods, was deep
in the wilderness q few days ago.
With him was lifelong resident OF
the woods, who in past years was one
Of the most successful guides, but who
now occupies q responsible position as
q protector of deer and other game.
The two were together when two deer
approached, one just behind the other.
and both within easy range. The
Utican brought his rifle to his shout
der, glanced along the barrel at the
deer, and brought his gun down again.
"Why didn't you shoot?" was asked.
"That deer hasn't any horns?" was
the reply.
The .woodsman instantly extended
his hand, with the words, ''Shake. 1t
does me good to once in a while find
! o man who has heart and Judgment
as WE'LL" y
"I have shot good number Of deer
IN my lifetime" added the Utican,,
but I have never shot doe, and I
hope I shall never be guilty OF doing
so, for in my eyes tits really a crimes
and heartless one at that"

"that it sportsmen-true sportsmen, I
mean-who live in the cities and yil-
lagos could be made to see nd,appre-
ciate as I do The harm done in a SPORT
ing sense By the slaughtering Of does,
they would refrain from killing thonh,
and in few years rejoice to find deer
far more plentiful than now. There
is law violated sometimes by brutes,
against the killing of fewns, and it
would be good thing, in my estima-
ton, if it was extended to protect

Flowers as Food Products. (

'You have no idea," said q Wabash
avenue florist, as he nibbled at vio-
let blossom, tof the many uses to
which flowers are being subjected as
food products. I predict that it will
not be many years before society takes
up flowers for special dishes as fad. ;"
This was indeed novel thing, and
the florist being pressed forafurther
information on the subject said s.: asbb,
"Almost every florist, for instance,
knows that The chrysanthemum, pre-
pared either as slaw or chopped upi
fine and served with cream, makes q
delicious dish. It has the aromatic
taste of the cauliaower-which, by.
the way, you must put down as q
flower food product-but is much
more tender. Then there is the bios.
som of the nasturtium, which tastes
for all the world like cress. The Only
reason these. blossoms are not more
generally used is because they are too
expensive.
'.But what housekeeper does not
make use OF cloves in the, picking OF
fruit and otherwise? The ordinary
cloves Of commerce. are simply the un-
expanded buds of a small evergreen
cultivated in several parts Of the East
and West Indies. In certain paris of
France clover blossoms, are eaten 90
salads, while the flower buds Of the
cspparis, plant which grows on
walls, are picked in vinegar and form
what are knewn as capers. Il
"In India the cassia tree blossoms are
held in high esteem, Notwithstanding
their sweetish taste, and are frequent
ly served on the tables Of the rich.
Really it is nothing new to use fowers
as edibles. I admit a taste must be
cultivated for these foods before they
can be appreciated; but SO must you
cultivate taste for olives"

AMERICAN, ,sTA,TEsMEN.

! Hon, Abram S. Hewitt thinks that
American statesmen are degenerasing.
We have now none who can take the
place of those who are gone and no
immediate prospect Of any being

haps what might be expected from one
who has had dyspepsia half Of cen

Mr. Hewitt drew attention particu-
larly o'the falling of, as he supposee,
in the towering intellects of southern
statesmen. The truth is that there
never was time since the beginning
OF the country when there was SO
much intellectual activity in the
south as there is today. It's people
throughout are waking to the needs Of
the time in the developm mt of their
material resources, in universal edu-
cation and economic science There
may not be any one of our two men
who tower above all their fellows as
some of the old statesmen did, but it
is only because the level Of all mon
has raised. It takes more now to, be
great statesmen than it did even
one generation ago. New and per-
picking problems must be wresued
with at every turn that never disturb
ed the minds of the old statesmen,
north or south. go E-'* " '"''
. These: are problems of economic
science chiefly and must be thought
out and wrought cut quietly. Their
solution is accompanied by no roar of
cannon or flash of steel, but it is pro-
crossing surely nevertheless. If the
arose for fighting, forpat-
riotic elf.sacrifice, for great deeds of
public daring, our men would be
there, God bless them! north and
south, ready for the need at an
hours call. Great occasions develop
great men, and we have some develop

will astonish Mr.. Hewitt and I'll him |
With patriotic pride if he lives a few
Years longer. There are thinkers,

Then too, Mr.: Hewitt must not for
get that the farther away from his
OWN time great mans reputation
lrifts the greater it becomes. 1t was
not in his own day that men recogni-
ed what a colossal figure Lincoln

great men to whom Mr.. Hewitt COM
