which was apparently the worst night

open for the minister to enter Johns
doleful expression was so noticeable
that the minister inquired If he were
thinking about the work Of cleaning
off the mud in the morning.

After an hour OF dreary driving
through cold and rain John drew up in
front of small house In which the
long hours of cold waiting before the
minister re-entered the cab, and the
home drive was made. With a spirit
of expectancy John once more swung
open the cab door in front of the min
listers house. The minister stepped
out, and as he entered his own door he
turned and said:

CANo,Ep FRAGRANT FLOWERS.

This IL One of the Latest Develop
ments of Luxury In England.
One of the latest developments Of
luxury is said to be the caudyinS OF
fragrant flowers. The notion Is not al
together new, for violets have been
made into CONNECTIONS for the palate,
as well as into bouquets for the olfac-
tory organs, from time TO time for a
long period. says the London Globe.
At any rate it seems that the fash
Ion has got a new impetus of late, and
a candied violet is coming to be regard
ed as an acceptable "bonne bouche" to
be presented to a lady. There is also,
we are told, a demand for sugared rose
petals, which Is being catered for by
some enterprlslng artists in sugar. 1t
can hardly be pretended that flowers
made into Sweets are of any medici-
nal efficacy. though damask rose leaves
have long held recognized place in
the materia medica.
Whether the violet has any therapeu-
tic qualities does not appear, though
the leaves mot the fiowcr) have just
now some eputation-outsde the med
ical faculty-as cure for cancer. The
best that can be hoped for. II flowers
are to be eaten as we'll ms to be seen
and smellcd. Is that they may in all
cases prove to he innocuous. 1t Is II
nice question whether the perfume Is
always n safe guide.
Perhaps the modern craze Is, after
all, only a form Of luxury. 4 candied
violet or dish of rose leaves cunning
ly prepared for the tea table could not
possibly enter into the category Of
cheap sweets for the million.

Contemporary developments in the
United States show that the most mr.

morality. There is no need OF new

improved upon. But morality is a con-
