NOVEL WEDDING CAKE.
Quite a novelty in wedding cakes
i was seen at a recent American wed
ding. The cake weighed about 300
pounds and was surmounted by a
representation of a white cathedral
done in sugar, through the open
doors of which came the notes of
Mendelssohn’s "Wedding March” and
“Tales of Hoffmann,” played by an
electric musical box.
This reminds one of a wedding
cake novelty introduced at another
wedding, when an automatic figure
of Cupid was made to march from
the dome on top of the cake and
discharge a packet of arrows in the
direction of the bridesmaids, who,
needless to say, were delighted with
this pretty idea.
FLOWERS THAT ARE GOOD
FOOD.
The food value of flowers is a
matter just beginning to interest
the scientific world- A botanist
| says that violets contain consider
| able nourishment. They formed the
basis of a refreshing drink, and in
j other forms figured conspicuously
: in the feasts of the ancient Pers
; ians. The modem confectioner crys
| talizes 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 im
parts a flavor of unparalleled deli
cacy to desserts of many kinds.
For those who do not care for
sweets, the gaily-colored nasturtium
offers delights to the palate. It
may be used as a filling for sand
wiches mixed judiciously with other
materials in salad- Its delicious
pungency appeals to the epicure,
while physicians say it aids diges
tion.
A favorite Italian dish consists
of fried squash bloosoms. When
properly prepared this food is both
appetizing and nourishing. The yel
low h'oosoms ■ of the common field
pumpkin may be cooked in the
same way, and to some tastes are
even more pleasing.

DON’T KISS THE CAT.
It must be a terrifying revelation
to those who kiss their cats, that
has been made by Prof. Fiocci, the
Italian chemist- He has found by
experiment that when a cat licks
its lips it spreads over them a
saliva in which there are swarms
I of minute bacilli not free from
danger to human beings. When he
i inoculated rabbits and guinea pigs
i with this noxious substance they
died within 24 hours; and he has
: come to the conclusion that it is
dangerous for anyone to indulge
; in the habit of kissing cats.
