FLOWERS AS FOOD.
The Aztecs Used to Revel In Cooked Pump
kin B1ossoms.

- 49,
kin Blossoms.
A dinner Of bunch of rosebuds would
hardly be called feast, and we should
most likely be inclined to think ourselves
trifled with If we were asked to dine upon
the large, growing blossoms of pumpkin
vine. But in olden times some of the
American Indians, notably the Aztecs, es-
teemed these flowers, when properly cook
ed, a great dainty. At the present day
the natives of many parts of India depend
for food upon the blossoms of the cassia
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
numbers during the night. The American
Druggist describes the blossoms as sweet
and siokly in odor and taste. Sometimes
they are dried in the sun and are sold in
the bazaars as a regular article of diet.
The trees are so highly esteemed that the
threat Of cutting down their cassia trees
will generally bring an unruly tribe to
terms.
This is hardly to be wondered at when
1t is understood that single tree will
yield from 200 to 400 pounds of flowers.
The Parsees cook the flowers and also
make sweetmeats of them. But, after all,
we are not quite at liberty to smile at the
flower eating propensities 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 cabbage, but
1t is the flower heads and flower stalks
that we consume in the caulifower and
not the leaves, as in the case of the cab
hage. 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 agreea-
BILE varieties in our bill of fare, but few
perhaps would feel ready to plead guilty
to taste for smoked flowers. And yet,
when we give to the Glove its well earned
place among our favorings, we are max
ing use of a smoked flower bud. The deli
cate, 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 Com.

being fault, Is almost a privilege; where
they do not wait until your voice is less
clear and your words less ardent, until

secrets Of the great development of coun-
try. The young Louis XIV, with his youth
full followers, had the most brilliant court
in the world, and the young generals OF
Napoleon conducted the old soldiers ia
the most brilliant victories. And we re.
