Edible Flowers of InGia.

Many edible flowers, it appears, are to be found in India. One of the most appreciated grows on tree about which we have very little information, but which in the country itself is named the "mhowad." The natives consume an enormous number of these flowers, whosS pale yellow corol!ae are pulpy and thick. and they prepare them in various ways.
 When they are fresh they are put iu cakes, to which they give a sweet flavor, but they are more especially used for making bread after they haze been dried and reduced to four. Ry allowing them to ferment a kind of wine is produced. and by distilling them brandy is obtained of which the Hindoos are very fond.-Vulgarisa- tion Scientitique.

THE PRICE OF GENIUS.
What 1t Means to Man to Be a Pioneer
 In Thouoht,

To be a pioneer in thought is to stand alone with nature, n2t fer q few minutes. but for fife. The isolateness Of the few great minds of each gen eration of men is utterly undrcamed of, for want of understanding. by those about them. Net think what it is to pass ones days in q thought world where the thinker roamS alone; to grapple with problems the very terms of which are beyond ordinary comprehension and the solution appie- ciated only in years to come; to con template ill lonely ecstasy, after still loneier despair, the revelation that comes with months and more of pom dering. When some one asked New ton how he came to make his wonder full discoveries he replied. Simply by always thinking about them" Consid- CT Kepler toiling year after year fruit lessly for some ratio that should link the planets motions by general law, calculating assiduously and putting hypothesis after hypothesis aside as he found it would not work until at last, after almost inconceivable toil he bit upon the one that would.
 As if this loneliness by nature were not enough. it must needs be accen- tuated by, man, for he rises in such cases ill chorus to condemn. Consider Darwin, ill patient study. testing the working out of natural selection and adding fact to fact. only to have the whole denounced as ridiculously ab- surd. Think you the dcnunciations of the master while living are wholly compensated by the plaudits after he is dead? The loneliness of greatness is the price men make the genius pay for posthumous enown.-Percival Lowell in Atlantic

THE COOKS FAULT.
No Wonder the Bird Was Not Tender
 When Served,

One of the most annoying things about swans is that they live to an extremely great age and that it is impossible for the ordinary observer to guess what their years may be. President Grover Cleveland once had an amusing experience with some swans, according to a writer in the American Magazine. He had been ill the south shooting and brought home a number of wild swans. one of which he sent to each member of his cabi- net and to some other associates.
 'All the boys" said MT Cleveland. thanked me politely for having re- membered them, but none of them seemed to have much to say about how they enjoyed the birds.
 "Carlisle, l found, had his cooked Another when 1 asked him, said he hoped 1 wouldn't mind, but he had sent his home to his old mother Thur Der didn't mention his bird at all for two days. Finally l asked him about it.
 'Thurber, did you get that swan all right?'
 "'Yes, sir-oh, yes, got the swan all right, thank you and he bent over his desk and seemed very busy.
 "'Fine bird,' 1 said
 "'Yes. sir fine bird and he went on working.
 "'Enioy eating him. Thurber:
 1.o said: We'll sir. guess they didn't cock him right at my house. They cooked him only two days. And he went on working without cracking a smile."

4 Marvellous CurN.

1t Is rslated that once German American, growing more and more af- 3icted with extreme nervousness, got the impression that he was forgetting English. The impression got so strong that he refused to talk anything but German. Then he became convinced that he was forgetting that, closed up like an oyster and was led away to Hnitarium, where he spent his days in complete silence.
 A course of treatment was prescribed for him in which baths played an im- portant part. Every morning the dumb German American was thrown bodily Into tub filled with very hot water, allowed to remain there awhile and then hauled out and set to cool on the piazza.
 But once the sanitarium acquired new attendant who got his signals mixed. He was told to bathe the Ger man American. Filling tub with fee cold water, he threw the patient into If.

A FATAL. ACCIDENT.
Young Mr.. Ward Of Georgetown Sue
CumbS TO Wound Received in Hnnting.

Georgetown, December e.
Arthur F Ward died at 9.15
O'Clock this morning as the re-
suit of gunshot wounds acci-
dentally received while hunt
ing ducks in the rice fields on
the Santee river yesterday after
noon. His death was due pri-
marily to shock and loss of blood
and the long interval of suffer-
ing from the fearful wound in
his thigh before medical aid
could be secured. He was con-
scious throughout the night and
up to within a few moments of
the end. He exhibited an heroic
cheerfulness, which caused those
at his bedside to hope that there
was still a chance for life. But his
vitality had received too severe
a shock and strain and he breath
ed his last peacefully, sur
rounded by loving members of
his family and devoted friends.
The deepest sympathy of the
whole community is felt for the
afflicted mother and father,
sisters and brothers of the young
man, who was but 26 years of
age, whose standing in the
business world he had already
won, and whose noble traits of
character gave promise of an hon
orable and brilliant career. Sew
eral years ago another boy of great
promise was lost to these fond
parents under similar circum-
stances, making this additional
blow even harder to them.
Another sad feature was the fact
that Mr. Ward was engaged to
be married in the spring and
this prospective happy union
of loving hearts has been forever
cut short. Mr. Ward was a
member of the Episcopal church,
in which he was very active,
being an officer of the local
Brotherhood of St Andrew, and
exhibited in his daily life the
highest teachings of Christianity.
The flags of the shipping in
port were half-masted to-day
in respect to the dead man.
