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 feshy blossoms
form staple article of food among
the poor. The people of the hill
tribes could hardly exist without a
regular supply of mahua flowers,
which are pulpy and sweet, but
somewhat nauseons 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 rude still,
which gives out 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 safe
article of beverage.

Der. s'To whom" inquired the pres
ident. Inquiry was made as to what
family the deceased member had
left. 'sShe had. a daughter" ex-
planned a well known suffragist.
"The letter should be sent to her
daughter" ssBut wasn't there a hus-
band?" inquired another member.
ooh, yes, there was husband, too, !"
admitted the sufragist, with the air
of Husbands don't count" The
club decided, however, to count the
husband in and send the letter to

Some Women.

Tt is a common sight in London
to see scores of women, many OF
them with babies in their arms,
standing at public bars drinking
gin. If the women were taken from
behind the bars, the women would
not stand in front Of them. This
is the proposition which the British
reformer does not seem to have
acted upon.
In France one wonders where the
men are, as the women appear to
be doing all the work. It is much
the same in Germany. In the city
of Munich I recently saw women
mending the streets, adjusting the
rails of the tramway and handling
the heaviest tools Of the trade. [
saw no men at this work. Those
who were not walking about in mil
itary uniforms were mainly driving
cabs.
The reflection upon this sort Of
differences in national points of
view tends to a certain inward sat
isfaction in the American breast,
and perhaps the natural gratifca-
ton which one feels upon regaining
native shores is mingled with a
touch of that pride which needs to
be regulated, but not necessarily

els in Lippincott's.

THE Thermometer.
It's Statements of Opinion and lite
Statements of Fact.

On the ordinary thermometer
may he read opposite the figures
two statements of opinion and two
of fact. The former are of little
Importance. Whether se7enty-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 SO 6-10 exercise
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 ssrun 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 a patient, the
physician at once takes out his elm
ical 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 a degree is significant.
Successive changes in the tempera
ture of the body reveal much as to
the course of malady.-Y outh's

FILINGS AT THE SEA.
Old Sayings That Breathe a Strong
Distrust of the Ocean.


ssNo man will be a sailor" said
DR.. johnson, "who has contrivance
enough to get himself into jail"
DR.. Johnson was, however, a lands
man, while many Of the following
expressions are the opinions of sea-
faring people. "He who trusts HIM
self on the sea is either a fool, or he
is poor, or he wants to die" This
Gallicism is no stronger than the
following saying by the maritime
Dutchmen: ssBetter on the heath
with an old cart than at sea with a
new ship" Better walk poor than
to sail rich" says the Spaniard, and
in the same spirit his italian neigh
Dor responds, praise the sea, but
stay on shore"
Another maritime nation, the
Danish, gives us this strong opin-
ion: Gone penny is better on land
than ten at sea-" German woods
men say, SsThe sea has no branches
Ito cling toy, therefore it is better
to stay on Shore" and the French
rustics agree with them admire
the sea as much as you will, but
don't stir from the cowsheds."
The Arab fears the sea as much
today as he did in the fifteenth cen
fury, when he thought the hand Of
Satan would arise from the sssea of
darkness" to seize his frail bark.
tSIt is better" says he, Ito hear the
belching of the camel than the pray
ers Of the fish," and he further OUT
lines the dangerous nature Of the
element when he says SThe sea has
tender stomach, but a head hard
as wood"
A facetious work a century old
has it thus: saThe ship is a fool, for
it moves continually. The sailor is
fool, for he changes his mind with
every breeze. The water is a fool,
for it is never still. The wind is a
fool, for it blows without ceasing.

Hyde Park people call this terrible storm a
thaw and are pleased with the style, but not
so with us here. We believed you, and
were sure of warm spell; so we all split
wood enough Saturday to last through
favora BILE Sabbath, but the mercury lowered
right around zero and our little piles of wood
melted and by p. m. the melodous sound
of the ak herald the news that the Citizan's
thaw was then over. Monday morning found
us trying to get to the wood piles long before
day light, but over twenty inches of snow was
resting gently over those blocks. After an
hour of work with the shovel we got to the
wood, and then vowed never to be msled in
that way again by any Hyde Park prophet;
they are no good. We just as soon have
rural free delivery of our mails as to have
such predictions
