Flowers as Food.

The flower buds of the marsh
marigold, Caltha palustris, are said
TO make excellent pickles. The
common Glove is a dried flower bud,
and it becomes an ingredient of va
rious articles of food. But the most
remarkable of all food flowers is
that produced by the mahua tree
of India, whose heshy blossoms
form a staple article of food among
the poor. The people Of the hin
tribes could hardly exist without a
regular supply of mahua flowers,
which are pulpy and sweet, but
somewhat nauseous to the unac-
customed palate. The surplus crop
of these blossoms is to some extent
dried, but the main part of the I'M
eaten supply is put into a rude still,
which gives out a copious supply of
an exceedingly fiery and irritating
arrack, so strong that it has to be
diluted with ten or twelve parts of
water before it is considered a safe
article of beverage.

THE THERMOMETERS.
sts Statements Of Opinion and tn
Statements Of Fact

On the ordinary thermometer
may be read opposite the figures
two statements OF opinion and two
of fact. The former are of little
importance. Whether seventy-six is
Summer heat" and a few degrees
lower temperate" depends largely
on locality. But the two fixed facts
that water freezes at 80 degrees
above zero and that the tempera-
ture of the body is 90 Clio exercise
a controlling influence over many of
the affairs of life. And, while the
whole face of the instrument might
be dotted with other interesting
signs, such as the boiling point Of
water and other liquids and the
freezing points of various liquids,
these facts concerning blood and
water are the prime essentials.
The freezing point of water is at
the basis of many industrial proc
esses. 1t must be constantly watch
ed. When freezing weather is
threatened, the familiar suction
pump is allowed to 'run down." or
the valves in unprotected water
pipes are closed. In house building
the mason goes below the point to
which frost ever penetrates to get
a good foundation. Most pipes also
have to be laid below the frost line.
Above it winter is continually dis
migrating the earth as with mil
lions of little charges of dynamite.
Water, because it expands in freez-
ing, tends to break up everything
into the crevices of which it pene-
trates. "Below the frost line" has
thus become in literature a recog-
nized figure for security of founda-
tions.
When called to see patient, the
physician at once takes out his elm
zeal thermometer. Placed under the
sick mans tongue, it registers the
bodily temperature. This nature
maintains through the perspiration
at such a delicate balance that the
variation of degree is significant.
Successive changes in the tempera-
ture of the body reveal much as to
the course of a malady.-Youth's
Companion.

Women In Wells.

The custom of wearing face wells
among the women of the orient is
a very ancient one, and undoubtedly
the wedding and widows wells Of
our day are remnants of that old
world fashion. The oriental wom-
an prizes her veil beyond any other
article of her wardrobe. Rather
than have a strange man look upon
her uncovered face she will snatch
a curtain, counterpart or her petit
coats in her haste to conceal her
features, utterly regardless of other
parts of her anatomy which may be
exposed by the action. This need
not seem so very absurd when we
remember that it is a part of most
oriental religions to keep the wom-
en- in exclusion and the Mohammed
of blessed memory made the COM
mand binding one.
