FLOWERS THAT ARE EATEN.

Arabian beauties eat rOsebuds boiled

The Chinese candy rosebuds as we do
violets; also jasmines.
The Turks preserve yellow pond lilies
and make cooling drink from them.
In Egypt flowers are pounded and
boiled in sugar. The resulting wine is
of green hue.
In old Rome they made wine of vio-
lets, and to-day in Turkey sherbet is
made from these lovely blossoms.
Did you ever eat nasturtium salad ?
In Europe they make salads from prim-
roses, too, and marigolds are used for
soups.
Candied violets have always had a
large sale. In France all the stale vio-
let's are sold to confectioners, who
steam them, dip in boiled sugar and
sell them at a high price. That is why
sometimes when one eats candied vio-
let's they have woody taste-they are
not fresh.
The butter tree of India blooms in the
hottest weather and is the chief food
of some tribes. One tree will yield
several hundred pounds of the yellow
pulpy flowers. When fresh they have 8
delicious flavor and when dried they
look like raisins. They are boiled, made
into cakes or sweetmeats. All wild ami
mails are very fond of them.

KENTUCKY VOTE.
Both Sides Still Claim the Election
and Contest Will Follow.
GoebeI Gives No Figures but Says He Is
Elected Governor BY 1876 Plurality
The Republican Chairman Claims
TayIor's Election BY 3,1I1.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 13.-The sec
ond week of uncertainty regarding the
result of the balloting for governor of
Kentucky begins with little prospect
of immediate relief. The official count
has been in progress two days and Off
cial returns from a large majority of
the 119 counties have narrowed the
contest down to a nose finish. Eacn
side claims the election of its ticket,
but the estimated plurality of either
does not exceed 5000. While the re-
turns so far received favor Taylor. the
result of the count may hinge on the
decision given by the county election
commissioners in several places where
contests have been begun on the
ground OF alleged irregularities.
One of these contests that in Mel
son county, has been decided adverse
ly to the republicans. 1t involves
| 1,19S votes-nearly as many as either
side claims as its plurality. Democrats
will contest the votes of some OF the
mountain counties, which return large
republican pluralities.
The most important county involved
is Knox, which gave Taylor 1898 plur,
atty. There are also contests in three
republican.
In any event it is difficult to see how
a bitter contest before the legislature
and the courts can be avoided. AL
the contests now being considered by
the county election officers will have
to be argued before the state board Of
election commissioners which must
meet at Frankfort within month
Both sides are preparing for this with
all the legal talent at their command
Meanwhile everything hangs on the
official count which may consume {
large portion of the week. In Jeffer

THE TENNESSEE REGIMENT.
It Arrives at San Fran cisco From the Phil
ippines and Receives q Hearty
Welcome Home.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 13.-The Ten
nessee regiment. Col. Childers COM
handing, arrived here from the Phil
!ppines Saturday, and were royalty
welcomed by the committee of Ten
nesseans. who arrived few days ago,
and the citizens of San Francisco.
The Tennessee volunteers landed
Sunday and went into camp at the
Preside preparatory to being muster
ed out.
In an interview Sunday, Col. Childers
said:
Il have very high regard for Gen.
Otis and his ability as a soldier and a
statesman. He has held a most diff
cult position, and l think he has han
died it well. OF course he could have
slashed in and laid the islands waste
with fire and sword, but to do this
without an effort first to show the ma
tives that the United States wished to
give them fair, just and liberal gov
eminent would have forever prevented
become a question of determination
and recolonization. The islands are
too far away for such a policy, even
if humanity and self-interest did not
forbid.
In my opinion a force of rs, 900 to
1OO 900 men is needed to promptly and
successfully settle this. This force
will have to be retained until those who
are friendly and take the oath of allie
glance to the United States are strong
enough to protect themselves, other
wise the natives will come down from
the mountains, destroying the lives
and property of all who are 'trailers,
as they would call them. think local
affairs should, as far as possible, be
left in the hands of the natives"
Corp. L. B. Price, of the Tennessee
volunteers, was killed shortly before
the regiment left the islands under pc
culiar circumstances. He was subject
to fits and somnambulism. and was in
the habit of sleeping with a red cloth
around his head to protect it from in
sects. One night while asleep he wan
dered by the line, and as he was re
| turning he was mistak for Filipino
by a member of the 9th infantry, who
| Shot him.
