George POWers's Waterloo.
From, ,,,s. p.,,a,l,,l, rI,,-,ia - ",

George Powers met his Waterloo We'd
nesday ON his bill cutting of the Norwich
cadets from the state militia. The bill was
adversely reported, but that didn't worry
George bit, for he had repeatedly turned
down committees before. But this time he
caught tartar. Friends of the Mortified
college, the military committee and some
Others who owed him a whack conspired to
humble him. Not less than a dozen lead
ing members arose and jumped on George
and his bill with both pedal extremities.
He got hot under the collar at one point
made by Col. Haskins and replied in words
that burned, but all TO no effect. The bill
was killed with laundering "No," and
Georges prestige received a rude shock.

FLOWERS AS FOOD.
The Azteos Used to Revel In Cooked Pump
kin Blossoms.

The Aztecs Used to Revel In Cooked Pump
kin Blossoms.
A dinner of bunch of rosebuds would
hardly be called feast, and we should
most likely be inclined to think ourselves
trihed with If we We're asked to dine upon
the large, growing blossoms of a pumpkin
vine. But in olden times some of the
American Indians, notably the Aztecs, es-
teemed these flowers, when properly cook
ed, 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 sickly in odor and tas.ee Sometimes
they ara aai7ed In the sun and are sold in
.ne bazaars as regular article Of diet
The trees arc 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 a single tree will
yield from 200 to 400 pounds of flowers.
The Parsees cook the flowers and also
mako 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 o place freely
upon our tables. We are apt to look upon
the delicious cauli1ower as cabbage, but
it is the flower heads and flower stalks
that we consume in the caulifower and
not the leaves, as in the case of the cab
bage 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 a taste for smoked flowers. And yet,
when we give to the Glove Its we'll earned
place among our aavorings we are max
ing use of smoked flower bud. The deli
cate, peach colored buds grow on a 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

THE AMERICAN WOMAN.
She Is Always In the Fashion, No Matter
What She Does.

She Is Always In the Fashion, No Matter
What She Does.
The American woman Is generally gra-
cious, elegant She likes to remain fresh
and young and TO please long time after
the "linit of age"
She is artistic, refined and cultivated
also. She is willing to look and listen,
and oftentimes she really understands the
artistic There is no lack of woman
painters but there is a lacking of "paint-
ings by woman"
If one leave in the shadow certain ex
ceptiors, one will see that a modern
American woman is charming and almost
women. She is more amusing, more
frank, more funny and has infinite varie-
ty. She is more serious also. She likes
noise and pleasure, chiffons and even love.
She likes children, too, but not too many
of them. One may even say that she pre-
fers other peoples children, but she makes
good, intelligent and affectionate mother.
1t is related that Demosthenes, subdued
by woman, said, "That which / thought
in year a woman overturned in night "
The history of Greek women would be al
most the history of Greece, and In Ameri-
ca, as in France, the history which does
not follow woman loses its way.
There is a descending ladder. On the top,
in the White House, we See the influence Of
a woman. Not fur from the heights we
find woman forcing men to vote on the
no license question, Wherever she appears
she dictates the laws, she imposes her
fancies, she urges her despotism.
An American writer, Mr. o. +. Adams,
says that American democracy, the pre-
tended apostles of equality, the Jewelers. of
privileges, have finished by establishing
inequality for the benefit Of woman by
making her privileged person par excel
lence and reversing the Asiatic conception
have made her despot and men her sub
jects.
The American woman is always In the
fashion, no matter what she may do, no
matter what the barbarism Of her dress
may be- 1t is seldom that she adorns her
dress 1t is the dress that adorns' her

Women In Clubs.

SIT Is so like women,'' said clubman
recently, "to take club rejection of them
selves or one of their friends so much to
heart. In mans club the matter is
viewed much more philosophically. a
man Is put up at club. II he gets in he
is pleased If he doesn't, he does not re-
sent it except under unusual circum-
stances. His rejection does not neces
sarily imply anything derogatory to his
character-simply, as the editors say, that
for that particular club he is not avail
able But women go all to pieces over
such happening. My wife recently pro-
posed woman at club of which she is q
member, and the name was turned down
by the board of admissions. Whereupon
my wife bit her finger nails off in despair
at what she considered IAN awful thing
not only for her friend, but for herself.
The particular club referred to is very
conservative. 1t has certain fixed rules
governing its membership that no one has
right to disregard The applicant in
question did not respond to the test estab-
lished and was therefore not eligible.
That was all there was OF it. 1t all comes,
1 suppose, from the extremely personal
point from which women look at every
thing. New York Times.
