Edible Flowers Of India.

Many edible flowers, II appears. are
to be found in India. One of the most
appreciated grows on tree about
which we have very little information,
but which I'm the country itself Is
named the "mhowad." The natives
consume an enormous number OF these
flowers, whose pale yellow corollae are
pulpy aud thick, and they prepare
them I'm various ways.
When they are fresh they are put In
cakes, TO which they give a sweet
flavor, but they are more especially
used for making bread after they have
been dried and reduced TO -four. BY
allowing them TO ferment kind OF
wine is produced, and by distilling
them brandy Is obtained OF which

number OF wild swans. one OF which
he sent To each member OF his cabi-
net and 10 some other associates.

DUST EXPLOSIONS
AT COAL MINES.
Thomas csaI Mine Experiences Slight
Explosion TueH,Hy AitsrnOOn.

Morganfield, Ky, March 49,
A minor explosion Of the wind
and dust which accumulated in
the mines of the Thomas Goal
Company at this place, occurred
Tuesday afternoon at AIS p. m.
There were no fatalities nor
any damage done. The Cover
brothers, shot firers, who touch
off the blasts that the miners set
before retiring, were IN the shaft
at the time IN the performance
of their duties. Hearing the
noise, they knew 1t was an ex-
plosion, and, with the presence
of mind taught by their long ex-
perience, threw themselves upon
the ground. The wind passed
harmlessly over them and ex-
hausted itself. Their lamps were
extinguis'sd by the wind. The
boys, knowing the danger In.
Cured by hastily relighting their
lamps, wisely awaited until all
danger had passed.
Considerable uneasiness was
felt by the people of the town,
as there was some little difficulty
in learning at just what time the
explosion occurred, as the new }
was received here so near the
time the men leave the mines,
and it was not generally known
but what the whole working
force was in the mine at the
time of the explosion.
