About Strawberries,

Many persons have wondered how
Strawberries got their name. They
have been so called by Anglo-Saxon
people for hundreds Of years. but no
corresponding name for them appears
in other languages. On the contrary,
their fragrance mainly is set forth in
the names by which they are called
in non-English speaking lands. The
old Anglo-SaXOn form was "streaw'
berige." 1t seems probable that the
straw" is the long stem of the vine,
which runs along the ground. Some
have thought. however, that in ancient
times the AnglO-SaXon berry hunters
brought the berries home or sent them
to market upon straws. The eXplana.
ton that the word is corruption Of
strawberry" due to the running habit
Of strawberry vines, is believed to lie
erroneous as well as that which would
derive the name from the habit Of
placing straw among the plants to
keep the berries or the ground.
Coronets of dukes are adorned with
strawberry leaves, though authorities
on hcraldry insist that they are not
strawberry leaves at all, but merely
conventional leaves which popular
fancy has turned into the foliage Of
the fGvorite berry. However, straw
berry leaves are actually borne by the
house of Fraser of Lovat as pun
ming allusion to the family name, since
"fraises" il French for Strawberries.

Bryan's DAUGHTERS Home Wrecked.

Denver, Col, Jan. 1.-THE bowling
of a dog to-day attracted neigh
bors to the pretty home Of Ruth
Bryan Leavitt, daughter of William j..
Bryan. The house had been vacant
for weeks. A rear door was found I'M
locked and the interior was a mass
of wreckage. Every drawer in the
house had been emptied on the
floor, which was strewn with torn
draperies, broken dishes and the frag-
ments OF every electric bulb in the
house.
The dog had chewed at window
frames anc doors in its effort to es-
cape and the vandals or the dog had
overturned most of the furniture. Mrs.
Leavitt and her husband are in Eu-
rope and their tenants moved away
some weeks ago. There is no clew
to the vandals.
