"Animals feed, man eats, but the man
of intellect alone knows how to eat."
So says a man versed in wisdom. And
truly he was wise, for the "fate of na
tions depends upon how they're fed."
Cooking is a science, and the author who
declared that "the discovery of a new
dish does more for the happiness of man
kind than the discovery of a new planet,"
was evidently a philosopher, for all men
are interested in cooking.
Flowers! The very word is the quint
essence of poetry, fragrance and beauty.
A dinner, novel in the extreme, was
given by an eastern girl, a wealthy debu
tante. The dinner was served in great
magnificence, and at it "stewed lilies"
was the most favored dish.
It didn't matter at all that the "stewed
lilies" resembled inferior greens or cauli
flowers in appearance, and as to taste
imagination fails to convey its awful
wisliy-washiness, if the antipodal terms
be allowed, yet every girl at the table
declared as she dipped her fork into the
stewed novelty that they were "perfect
ly delicious, you know," and they could
eat them "every day." No pepper, 110
salt, no soupcon of butter defiled this
purity of the lily stew; forbid, god of
fashion, perish the thought, oh, cuisine
of aesthetic food! the lilies were stewed
simply intact and eaten simply and with
tact. For no muscle of the tortured
fashionable gourmande's face betrayed
the feeling that she was eating a dish
that was similar to washed out sunshine
or the ghost of a stale spongecake. They
were stewed lilies all the same, and if
each partaker turns her head away at the
sight of the flower in full bloom for some
time to come, why inquire further? Is
the mere fact of the effects of a first
cigar to banish forever the habit of smok
ing others?
A DINNER OF LOCUSTS.
Not very long since an article in an
eastern paper spoke of a clever woman's
subterfuge in cooking in following man
ner: ''The latest novelty in the vegetable
line is the introduction of flowers, that
is edible flowers. The two which are
said to ho the most satisfactory belong—
absit omen! to the thistle family, and
rejoice in the names calligonum poly
gouordes and bastia latiflior. The popu
lar form of both English and French
seems somehow hard toconqn. i the
case of these new dishes, but less
all will come in time. It is r •>!' a
bright Boston woman that on ■ whilst
she was living in the country abroad, in
a spot where the markets were extreme
ly unreliable, she was surprised one day
by the arrival of several guests near the
hour of dinner. It chanced, as it usually
does in. similar cases, that her larder
that day was especially bare; so she set
to work her wits as her only assistants
to overcome the difficulty. The locust
trees were in full bloom, so she selected
the finest clusters, dipped them in batter
and fried them in boiling oil. The dish
proved not only an ornamental one, the
shape of the ordinary clusters being not
unlike that of grapes, but it proved pal
atable as well, and if not very substan
tial, went no inconsiderable way in the
scanty dinner.
When Rome became the center of rich
es she had ever}' luxury of the table, from
the growing locust in bloom to the os
trich. "St. John's bread" is said also to
be a species of wild locust, and there arc
other methods of cooking in which they
have been used. As for the dundelions,
they are converted by the skillful cook
into the most palatable dishes. They
are also gathered with care and made
into a healthful tea as well as into stewed
vegetables. The dandelion is sometimes
termed not a flower, but it certainly is
entitled and justly so to floral considera
tion, and belongs to the floral family.
SOME EDIBLE PLANTS.
The nasturtium makes a most delight
ful salad, flic leaves being selected for
the purpose as the most delicious portion.
The peppery, peculiar taste tickles the
taste of the epicure with its charms, and
the nasturtium salad is a favorite dish
on the butfet of the fastidious epicure.
The seed of this flower makes a most
tempting pickle, and invites by its qual
ities an appetite to the most jaded palate
and stomach.
The cactus is a plant that has been
used with effect by the Indians. When
the Sioux so long defied the government
and were left without food or liquid,
they converted the cactus into a nourish
ing vegetable. Besides this, the liquid
coming from them served in the place of
water.
Roses have always played an import
ant feature in the high art of cooking.
Under Charlemagne's reign the devices
for cooking into which flowers were in
serted were several, while in the Seven
teenth century the women of the gentlest
birth, greatest wealth and highest posi
tion in court took the greatest personal
interest in their kitchen and its results.
A favorite method of giving fish the
taste of flowers at this time was to boil
them in rose water. The flavor was so
thoroughly impregnating that you would
imagine the fish was a rose itself. The
mode of dining in this century was one
of great magnificence. The rose as an
article of food has a history which goes
away back. It was well known to the
ancient Greeks and Romans.—St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.
A Clam Shell ill the Hen'. Throat,
A Waldo county farmer, on going to
his hen house the other morning, saw
one of his favorite hens lying on her
back, legs in the air and mouth wide
open, with all the appearance of being
dead, but on examination found half a
clam shell stuck in her throat. He took
the lien into the house, got a pair of pin
cers, .pulled out the shell, and the hen
came back to life and laid an unusually
big egg that day to show her gratitude.

South America'* Karly Progress.
The civilization of Peru began about
the same time as that of Mexico, about
100 years prior to the landing of Colum
bus. It is attributed to Manio, the first
Peruvian king of the Incas line, who es
tablished the empire on a firm basis. He
connected the country by a number of
straight roads, often 100 miles in extent,
and all connected with the capital.
Along these roads were placed houses
of repose and entertainment for the
king's runners. Agriculture received
much attention, and, on account of the
scarcity of rain prevalent in that region,
the fields were watered by canals led in
from rivers and lakes. The people culti
vated maize, potatoes, and cotton, and
hud quite an extensive commerce.
The religious character of the ancient
Peruvians is an interesting study. They
were much more developed in this re
spect than their southern neighbors, and
while the worship of the sun seems lo
have been the religion of the people, their
priests seem to have held the higher be
lief of a personal God, creator of the sun
and other heavenly bodies.
Human sacrifices were almost un
known in Peru, and cannibalism is never
found. Picture writing was used to a
great extent, and a record of time was
kept by a system of knotted strings.
They had quite developed in poetry, and
we have still some thirty or forty of their
songs, which were mainly upon their af
fections. —Philadelphia Ledger.
Phosphorescent Toadstools.
Varieties of fungi, or toadstools, as
they are popularly called, which give
out light in a dark place have been re
ported from Australia and other parts of
the world. The appearance of this in
teresting growth, as seen in Brazil, is de-,
scribed by an English naturalist.
One dark night, about the beginning
of December, while passing along the
streets, I observed some boys amusing
themselves with some luminous object,
which I at first supposed to be a kind of
large firefly, but, 011 making inquiry, I
found it to he a beautiful phosphorescent
fungus, and was told that it grew abund
antly in the neighborhood, on the decay
ing leaves of a dwarf palm. Next day I
obtained a great many specimens, and
found them to vary from one inch to two
inches and a half across.
The whole plant gives out at night a
bright, phosphorescent light, of a pale
greenish hue, similar to that emitted by
the larger fireflies, or by the curious soft
bodied marine animals. The light given
out by a few of these fungi, in a dark
room, was sufficient to read by.—Youth's
Companion.
Where He'd Co.
The popular captain of Company G,
Twelfth Vermont regiment, was stroll
ing in the woods just out of camp one
day during the war, when ho came upon
a member of his company sitting on the
stump of a tree and looking as though
he had fought his last fight. "What's
the matter. Bill?" said the captain. "Oh,
nothing," was the reply; "I am all right."
"You look as though you had a fit of
homesickness." "No, sir," said Bill, with
some resentment, "nothing of the sort."
"Well, what arc you thinking about?"
asked his questioner. "I was thinking,"
said the Vermonter, "that I wished I
was in my father's barn!" "In your
father's barn! What 011 earth would
you do if you were in your father's
barn?" The poor fellow uttered a long
drawn sigh and said: "I'd go into the
house mighty quick."—Salem Witch.
Danger in Glasses.
By wearing too strong near sighted
glasses continuously the nearsightedness
may be very greatly increased and a dis
eased condition of the interior of the eye
caused, which may lead to very great
loss of sight and even total blindness.
Then, in other cases, wearing an eye
glass may do very much harm, because
we frequently notice people with their
eyeglasses tipped at various angles. In
these cases that gluss is acting as a prism,
and is not doing the work it should, hut
is causing a strain upon the accommoda
tion, which may be the starting point of
a long series of nervous disorders. Again,
the wearing of either eyeglasses or spec
tacles without rims may in some cases
cause very annoying and injurious symp
toms from the colors due to the pris
matic action of the edge of the glass.—
Medical Classics.
A Hoy Will Show His Unit.
Schoolmasters of experience could, no
doubt, tell of numerous cases of boys
who have been distinguished at school
for nothing at all, except possibly gen
eral all round laziness, and who yet de
veloped in later life into successful war
riors, lawyers, clergymen, or authors.
The usual rule, however, seems to be that,
if a boy is going to turn into a great man,
he shows some signs of his future in his
early career. It is not necessary for these
indications to be intellectual; a youth en
dowed with the exceptional physical
vigor which is destined to carry him to
the front when he attains man's estate
may be,prominent at school simply for
his athletic prowess.—London Telegraph.
C'haracU'riKtictt of (lie Profession.
Actors are always on good terms with
themselves professionally. They may be
miserable performers, not only beneath
criticism, but beneath censure; but they
never suspect it and could not be con
vinced of it. They may be conscious
that they are not liked on the stage, but
this, to their biased mind, is only be
cause they are not appreciated. The
number of wretched, irremediable actors
is incalculable, though not one of them
but in his own estimation is endowed
with something akin to genius.—Now

An Italian engineer recently announced
the discovery that sugar is an efficient
means of preventing boiler incrustations.
This brought out an additional discovery
by American engineers—that, by the use
of sugar, boiler tubes can be kept per
fectly clean, but its corrosive action is so
great that after a short time there would
be but little boiler left—Christian at

THE CORSICAN VENDETTA.
The Cnatnm 'l'liat Una Often Extinguished
Kntire Families.
Should a Corsican, in revenge for in
jury done to himself or his relations, or
even to his dog or his horse, kill another
with knife or coup de fusii, public sym
pathy sustains hint, the hills shelter him,
his relations feed him, and justice, in the
shape of gendarmes, winks with both
eyes unless the murderer be very un
popular. True, he is termed a "bandit"
and lias to take refuge iu the macqui, as
the natural hush is called that clothes
the mountain sides. Well informed Cor
sicans tell one that there are at this mo
ment in the island over one thousand in
hiding.
But please understand the bandit is no
brigand. Should you, defenseless, hap
pen to fall in with him, he will not take
your purse, hut, on the contrary, offer
you food, if he has it, and shelter in his
cave, and most probably refuse any pay
ment for bis hospitality. It is only his
foe's family against which lie wages war,
and of course in self defense with the
gendarmes. These latter he will shoot
with as much unconcern as a woodcock.
And yet, though the Corsican will not
rob you, it is not because lie does not love
money. For a very few francs, both
Corsican gentlemen and English resi
dents aver, you can find a man who will
do your killing for you and rid you of
your enemy with knife or bullet. And
while this utter contempt for human
life prevails there can bo 110 hope of the
extinction of the vendetta.
An English gentleman, Capt. G., who
has now lived for some ten or fifteen
years in Corsica, 011 his own property,
told me the following story: "It seems
that one of the employes of the former
proprietor, fancying he had some grudge
against the new owner, made himself
objectionable by breaking down fences,
driving goats and sheep into the gardens
and annoying Capt, G. in other ways.
Capt. G. happened to mention the fact
of the man's enmity, and deplored it as
unreasonable both to a Corsican gentle
man, a neighboring proprietor, and also
to a shepherd with whom he was on
friendly terms.
"Let me know if it continues," said
the gentleman, "and I will have the
man taken over to yonder rocks and you
won't hear of him again."
"I will arrange for a little coup de
fusil whenever you like to give me 'the
office,*" said the berger.
This was fifteen years ago, but even
now it is said there is iu Ajaccio alone at
least one murder a week, though these
outrages are so hushed up by the author
ities that it is difficult to get any reliable
statistics. I never, for instance, saw the
account of any murder in the little local
French paper Le Raillement, the only
one, I think, in Ajaccio, but this proves
nothing, for there was undoubtedly ono
atrocious crime committed in the village
of Bocognano, about twenty miles off,
while we were at Ajaccio, for particulars
of which I vainly studied the columns of
Le Raillement.—New York Times.
How Max O'Rell Woke the Servant*.
When he first came to London Max
O'Rell took a little house in a retired
quarter of the city. About 3 o'clock one
morning the whole neighborhood was
aroused by cries in the street: somebody
was shouting at the top of his voice:
"Murder! Fire! and this hub
bub was protracted mud everybody in
the locality was at his window in a state
of violent alarm. It was Max O'Rell,
who. returning home at this unholy hour
and finding himself locked out, took this
way of arousing his servants. Finally,
standing in the middle of the street, the
cynosure of all eyes, O'Rell lifted his hat,
and, bowing politely this way and that,
said: "Thanks, good neighbors, for your
friendly solicitude; having awakened the
concierge, I will no\V enter my home."
V. ho but a Frenchman could have done
that thing in just that way?— Eugene

C'lisuicc a Great Factor in Life.
Experience shows that chance, or
what we call chance, is the most active
agent in choosing a profession, though
this should not prevent the young man
from faithfully considering what he is
going to do. In very many cases lie will
find that lie has mistaken his calling;
but he has not for this reason necessarily
wasted his time in seeking what proved
not to be available to him. He has been
adding to his knowledge and his expe
rience enables liiiu to act more wisely in
the future. He lias developed his pow

The Englishman will condone every

in the smoking room of the Hotel Me

of gentlemen discussed the peculiarities
of appetite. One of the party said he
had seen, a few days previous, a friend
eating mustard on his roast mutton.
General surprise was expressed by the
others in the party; one Englishman
was deeply shocked, and I shall never

"Isn't it interesting to think of the
slight incident in one's life on which
hinges one's career?" said bright Nellie
McHenry the other day. "Now, my be
ing an actress is purely the result of an
unforeseen incident. One day I was on
my way hpme from school and inet Bill
Wiggins, at that time the comedian in
Ben De Bar's theatre, St. Louis, and who
occupied the same house with my par
ents. Said Wiggins to me:
" 'Where are you going, little Nellie?'
" 'This is a half holiday, and I'm going
to play with some girls,' said I.
" 'Were you ever in a theatre?' in
quired he.
" 'No; but I would like to.'
" 'Well, come along,' he replied, and
off we started to the theatre.
"It appeared that Mr. Wiggins was on
his way to a rehearsal, and when we
reached the theatre everything was at
sixes and sevens. Feuillet's play of a
'Romance of a Poor Youug Man' was in
rehearsal, and Mr. Lawrence Barrett was
cast for the head. The child who was
to have played the flower girl had been
detained at home because of the illness
of her mother—both of us were St. Louis
girls, it appears. Well, Mr. Barrett es
pied me standing at the entrance. Turn
ing to Mr, De Bar, who was at that time
on the stage, lie said: 'Whose child is
that?'
" 'You've got me. I don't know. It
struck me as she might possibly do tiie
flower girl. The other child is absent,
and I suspect she doesn't know her part,
anyway.'
"I heard every word of the conversa
tion, and observed Mr. Barrett nod his
head, stroke his chin and walk toward
me.
" 'My c hild, can you read?' he com
menced, eying me kindly and taking
me by the hand.
" 'Y—yes, sir.'
"'Well, come here and read this part
for me, and don't forget that you are to
read as though you were talking to a lit
tle friend. Never think for a moment of
your surroundings, but put yourself in
the place of the little flower girl. Now,
iny little girl, commence, and be as nat
ural as possible. Remember, you are 110
one else than the flower girl,'
"So oil' I started on the manuscript,
reading as naturally as possible, and
using my best efforts to prevent my legs
from trembling beneath me. Finally I
mustered up courage enough to go ahead
in an assuring way, and finished as proud
ly as if it were my debut, and I had fin
ished to the fifth curtain call.
"Every one applauded, and Mr. liar
re It patted rue 011 the cheek, accom
panied by a word or two of encourage
ment.
" 'Can't you study those lines and come
here to-night and speak them as you have
read tlieiß?' he asked.
"Certainly, sir."
" 'Well, you may go now. Study your
part well, and come back to-night and
you can act.'
'•I can never forget how I posed over
my part. Taking a position before the
glass, with my part in one hand, the arm
outstretched and the other as free as pos
sible, I gestured and read and expressed.
When the time came to leave home for
the theatre I laid my manuscript aside
for a few moments to snatch a bite of
food. In those few moments the lines
I had worked so hard on had taken
wings and my memory was a blank.
With the tears streaming down my
cheeks I seized the little book, pored
through it and soon had the part pat.
"I arrived at the theatre long before
the time for the performance, and slowly
went through the lines over and over. As
the time drew near for the curtain and
during the overture my heart, which had
long before began thumping my ribs,
continued to pit-a-pat faster than ever.
Observing me standing and twitching
nervously in the wings, Mr. Barrett
walked slowly up and in his quiet and
reserved manner said:
" 'You need not be afraid to speak too
naturally, my child. Put yourself in the
place of the part you play, and if you
ever adopt the stage, never forget this'—
and I never did.
"As I was entirely ignorant of the time
to go on, some one whispered in my ear
in the middle of the scene: 'Now's your
time, Nellie. When you've finished your
part, turn about and walk off.' So on I
went, and never faltered in a line. All
the people in the company praised me
warmly, and their encouraging words
knocked all school out of me. Every
time I saw Mr. De Bar—and I made it a
point to see him often —my inquiry for a
position in his company would be tbe
first thing. His reply would always be:
'Oh. go home and grow, Nellie: you're
too small." At last the opportunity ar
rived, and you know the rest." —Boston

( iinine Endurance.
A gentleman farmer in Amherst coun
ty, Va., had two dogs that disappeared
at the same time and in a very myste
rious manner. They were seen ono day
chasing a rabbit. After that no clew
could be found that gave the slightest
intimation of their whereabouts. Day
after day passed, and the dogs were
given up as lost; but at the expiration of
three weeks a negro came to the farmer
and told him that a sound like the whin
ing of dogs could be faintly heard at a
point 011 the roadside where the red clay
banks rose to some height on either side,
just where a sort of blind ditch had been
made across the road.
The farmer and his sons lost 110 time
in providing themselves with picks,
spades, etc., and repairing to the spot
indicated, where, after listening intently
a few moments, the sound described was
heard. Then they set to work with a
will and ere long came to the poor,
wretched creatures entombed alive in a
sort of hollow which they had dug in
their frantic efforts to release themselves.
With such energy had they worked that
they would have succeeded had they dug
in the opposite direction, toward the
road, but they were digging all the time
into the bank, further and further from
the road, toward the field which stretched
away to the foot of the mountain. They
had been three weeks without food,
water or iight. One was never quite
strong, and lived only a year afterward,
but the other is alive, and is fat and thriv

Ferocity of lied Ants.
One evening I found that a countless
multitude of red ants had collected about
two trees close to my tent and were mak
ing a thoroughfare of ono of mv ropes.
I thought it best to discourage this, so I
got some kerosene oil, the best antidote
I know for insect pests of any kind, and,
dipping a feather into it, began to anoint
the rope, thinking, in mysimplicity, that
they would not like to cross the oil, and
would 1)0 obliged to find another road.
There was a perfect storm of indigna
tion. They rushed together from botli
sides, and threw themselves 011 the oiled
feather in the spirit of Meltus Curtius.
They died, of course, but others came 011
in scores, panting for the same glorious
death, and I had to give up my idea of
dislodging them by kerosene. —"Eha,"

To Prohibit Mesmeric Exhibitions.
In different European countries medi

whatsoever, and to forbid lite employ
ment of hypnosis by any person not a

physicians should be limited to thera

medical students, and as for these ends
the lower grades of hypnotism are, ac
