Boiled Rosebuds.

iNow that high authorities have advised us to reduce our consumption of meat the need for new and Cheaper foods assumes more and more‘'significance.

Although it is little known in this country, Turkish ladies consider rosebuds, boiled in sugar, a luxury not to be missed. They claim that these make an excellent preserve. In China a species of lily is dried and used for seasoning ragouts and other dishes. This is looked upon as one of the choicest of native dishes.

Many provinces of this same land grow lilies expressly for the purpose of marketing in this connection. They are usually plucked jtfst previous to their opening and then cooked as ordinary vegetables. John Chinaman claims they have a taste and fragrance that rivals our spinach.

That common lily we see so often growing in ponds and marshes will niake a most delicious preserve. As a matter of fact it is utilized in Turkey in the making of a cool drink. Owing to its flowers possessing a perfume not unlike brandy, this type of lily _is often termed ‘'brandy-bottle.”

Yet another new creation we may resort to might be the tabloid food. has long been "in the air,” and has come in for not a little sarcasm in some circles.

It is" to be Hoped that we do not have to come down to this, as a day broken only with a few “tabloids” would indeed prove a monotomous affair.

At all events, we shall not (have to resort "to it before the Germans, for they have already introduced it into their menus. In consists of a composition of flour, dried meat, maize and dried vegetables. We are told a pennyworth of this will satisfy even the appetite of a Prussian.—London Answers.

Hard Water.

Do you realize how hard water is when a boat sails through it at full speed? Water passing at 50 miles an hour is not the limpid liquid we are accustomed to bathe in. If you put your arm overboard: from a hydroplane running 5 0 miles an hour and strike a wave crest, the probability is that you will break your arm or wrist, because at that speed the water has not time to give, or even to change shape, and striking it is like striking so much metal. If a swordsman should enter one of the great hydraulic - quarries where a stream of water, under enormous head, is used <to wash down hillsides, and attempt to cut into one of those streams, his sword would fly in pieces without being able to penetrate the water. The stream is like a bar or iron -—Boston Transcript.

WHISKY RUNS IN STREET.

Liquors Poured Out by Delphi’s Marshal, Ending the Greider Case.} Delphi, Ind., October 20.—8 y the order of Mayor W.<l. Smith, Marshal Roach yesterday poured eighteen gallons of whiskey into the street and the Abe Greider liquor case was ended. Greider had pleaded guilty to a charge of unlawful possession of liquor for sale purposes. Last spring Mayor Smith and his deputies arrested Greider after he had driven his automobile into the city from Terre Haute and delivered a gallon of liquor to James Timmons. The eighteen gallons of liquor destroyed yesterday was taken from the car. On each package was the name of a resident of this city or a farmer. Greider, himself a prominent farmer, alleged that he had not acted as an agent in bringing the whisky from Terre Haute, but simply did it as a fatfor to his inepds. Ten indictments were returned against him by the grand jury charging sales of liquor illegally, but these were not pressed, as delivery had not been made, completing the sale. Federal action was thwarted by Greider at the time of his arrest by taking out a federal license for two years. He had brought action to recover the liquor taken by the mayor, and this action had brought him in the mayor’s court, but after his plea of guilty the case was dropped and the mayor was uninterrupted in the destruction of the liquor. Greider’s sentence was thirty days in jail, SSO fine and costs, the jail term being suspended during good behavior.

Russia Contains 140 Races.

The population of Russia is more varied than that of the United States —lncluding Porto Rico, the Philippines, the Zulu Islands, Alaska, Indians and all—in fact, more varied than the population of any country in the world.

The population of Russia consists of over 140 different peoples, nationalties, nations, races—differing in language, religion, customs, mode of living, civilization, and living mostly apart from one another. They are: Fifty million Great Russians, or actual Russians, or “Muscovites” (the inhabitants of t’he former grand duchy of Moskva), now ruling all Russia. Twenty million Little Russians, formerly a part of Poland. Twelve million Poles. Six million White Russians, formerly a part of Poland. Two and one-half million Finns. Two million Lithuanians, formerly part of Poland. Two million Germans. One and one-half million Letts, formerly part of Poland. One and one-half million Armenians. One , and one-half million Roumanians. Five million Jews. Sixty million of 130 other different nations and races, as: Tartars, Kurds, Bashkirs, Samoyedes, Kirghizes, Kalmucks, Turks, Bulgars, Greeks, Persians, Gypsies and 120

It would take centuries to melt these 140 different nations of different races, with 140 different languages and almost as many different one solid Russian nation.

In the meantime—scores of them hope to become free and independent countries and thus preserve their ancient home, nationality, language, religion and all.—Polish Courier.

Fish Choke River.

There is a heavy run of salmon in the Cowlitz and Kalama rivers, and • in the latter stream, on which the state fish hatchery is located, the run is the greatest ever known by white man. This stream is protected by law on account of the hatchery, and fishermen are forbidden to operate in it with their gear, and many of the riffles are so crowded with fish that one can hardly cross the stream without stepping on fish. The men at the hatchery gb into the fish like a drove of fat hogs and pick them up examining each fish, and if it is “ripe’’ the salmon is killed The spawn is taken and placed in hatching trays at the hatchery, there attended until the eggs are hatched and the small fry taken care of until large enough to protect themselves, when they are turned loose in the river. They return in four years to the stream in which they were hatched, being full-sized fish within that time.—Kelso Cor. Seattle Post-Intelligence.
