TEA FROM THE FLOWERS,
This Product Little Known in the
United States.

Tea, not from leaves, but from the
flowers alone of the plant, is rarely en-.
countered in commerce. The petals,
stamens, etc, are sun dried, and the
resulting tea is of rich, deep brown
hue of peculiarly delicate odor. and
gives pale amber colored infusion
rather more astringent in taste than
that from the average fair grade leaf.
The taste for it is an acquired one,
and even if this tea could be made
commercially possible, it is doubtful If
it would ever become popular.
The American tea trade could adj
vantageously take suggestion from
the brick tea of the far east. In our
country, the tea dust, some of which
is good quality, is not properly
utilized. In Europe 1t is regular
article of trade. and it is advertised
and sold as tea dust In America 1t Is

Origin of Scotland's Motto.

It was thought by the Danes to be
cowardly to attack an enemy after
nightfall, but on one occasion when
they were waging war in Scotland,
they deviated from their usual rule.
On they crept, noiselessly and unob-
served, in their bare feet, upon the
unsuspecting Scotchman. When near
the camp one of the Danes trod upon
a thistle and in his pain cried out.
This aroused the sleeping Scotchmen,
and they gave the alarm. The Danes
were defeated with terrible loss of
life, and ever since that time the
thistle has been the insignia of Scot
land, with the motto: Memo me i'm
pune lacessit. mo one provokes me
with impunity."
