FLOWERS WITH FOOD VALUE
Men of Science Beginning to Think
That Possibly the World -Has
Overlooked Something.
The food value of flowers is a
matter just beginning to interest the
scientific world. Violets are said to
contain considerable nourishment.
They formed the basis of a refresh-
ing drink, and in other forms figured
conspicuously in the feasts of the
ancient Persians. The modern con-
fectioner crystallizes them in sugar.
The old Turkish confections made
of rose leaves are declared delicious
by those who have eaten them. A
number of cooks have discovered
that a handful of rose petals imparts
a flavor of unparalleled delicacy to!
desserts of many kinds.
For those who do not care forj
sweets the gayly colored nasturtium-
offers delights to the palate. It may i
be used as a filling for sandwiches,!
mixed judiciously with other mate-j
rials in salad. Its delicious pungen- j
cy appeals to the epicure, while phy-'i
sicians say it aids digestion.
A favorite Italian dish now being;
introduced into this country consists!
of fried squash blossoms. Whenj
properly prepared this food is both1
appetizing and nourishing. The yel-;
low blossoms of the common field;
pumpkin may be cooked in the same!
way, and to some tastes are even!
more pleasing.—Peoria Transcript.!

WATCH
WEEK’S
TO SEE
MEN WITH DANGEROUS JOBS
Are Frequently Called on to Display
Great Courage in the Mo-
ment of Trial.
Something of the spirit of that
hypothetical sailor who pitied the
poor folks on shore during a howling
gale is found in the breasts of most
men who earn their daily bread at
the risk of life and limb, writes C.
Clayton Terriss in the Wide World.
It is, perhaps, a legacy of savage
days that the dangers which can be
met by quickness of eye and foot and
hand always find men to face them
even with delight.
The readiness and courage dis-
played by steeplejacks is often be-
yond praise. Two men were working
on a scaffolding on a church steeple,
and at one point it became necessary
for one of them to stand on the
other’s shoulders to reach a part of
the work.
Suddenly a pot of molten lead he
was carrying was tipped over by
some projection, and a quantity of
the boiling metal dropped on the
shoulders of the man below. The
pain was excruciating, as it was un-
expected, and it must have been very
difficult for the victim to refrain
from the start which would have
precipitated both men into the street
far below. But refrain he did;
moreover, he held his ground until
his mate could clamber down on to
the platform again and help him
away to the relief which he so badly
needed. An act like that requires
heroism of a very high order.
THE JUNGLE CIRCUS
COLD PROPER CURE FOR COLD
English Writer Asserts That People
Do Not Understand Treatment
of Common Infliction.
Doctor Johnson, knowing nothing
of microbes, thought he had crushed
the story of the cold that strangers
bring to St. Kilda by asking: “How
can there be a physical effect with-
out a physical cause ?” Then he <pro-
ceeded to make merry. The arrival
of a ship full of strangers, he laugh-
ingly supposed, would kill the inhab-
itants of the island; “for, if one
stranger gives them one cold, two
strangers must give them two colds,
and so in proportion.” In vain, says
the London Chronicle, did believers
in the story argue that it was annu-
ally proved upon the arrival of the
owner’s steward, which always re-
sulted in a cold for all the islanders.
“The steward,” replied Johnson, “al-
ways comes to demand something
from them, and so they fall a-eough-
ing.”
The proper cure for a cold, which
always seems to have baffled the doc-
tors, is—-cold—on the principle of
homeopathy. The only sailors in the
Crimean days who escaped sore
throats were those who could not get
mufflers. The members of the Scott
expedition never got a “cold” until
they had left the frozen Antarctic
and reached civilization. We should
establish the refrigerating chamber
as antiphon to the Turkish bath for
cure of colds.
The Toucan—Why in the worlds
did you have all thosfe s<j?rs painted
on your hide?
The Monkey—Why, Bill Zebra
and I are going to do a turn called
the “Stars and Stripes.”
SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT.
Meeker—Mv wife’s front name is
Emma.
Bleeker—Well, what of it?
Meeker—Oh, I merely mentioned
it for the purpose of setting myself
right. You may think I am hen-
1 pecked, but I’m not—even if I do
look as if I were slightly Em-bossed
at times.” '
TRADES
WHAT SHE WANTED.
“And now, madam, what about
penciling the brows?” ■>
“I think,” said Mrs. Nurich, “I’d
like one of these highbrow effects
that I read so much about in the
papers.”
ITS SORT.
“The convict who was planning an
escape forgot all about hiding his
file.”
“What criminal carelessness!”

After All, Neatness Cannot Be Consid-
ered the Greatest Necessity
of the Home.
A lady received the following re-
ply from a neighbor in answer to a
question as to why she allowed her
children and her husband to litter
up every room in the house. The
sentiment will find lodgment in the
heart of every home-loving person in
the land: “The marks of little, mud-
dy feet upon the floor can be more
easily removed than the stains where
the little feet go into the highways
of sin.T The prints of the little fin-
gers upon the window panes cannot
shut out the; sunshine half so much
as the shadow that darkens the moth-
er’s heart over the one who will be
but a name in the coming year. And
if my John finds home a refuge from
("are and his greatest happiness with-
in its four walls, he can put his boot's
