that psychic phenomena, so far from

call "physic control She saw visions;
she was guided by Voices and her
voices led her from victory to victory
until she died a martyr at the stake. We
may say as Roman Catholics do. that her
voices were miraculous messages from
God. We may say, with the spiritualists,
that angels and saints quite literally
possessed her. Or we may say. with
contemporary students of the psychic.
that she exhibited such faculties as

whichever theory We accept, the mystery

A Sign Of the Times.
From Lippincott's.


When Judge ". l.. Walls of Wyoming
was younger-and not so wise-he wrote
a poem. 1t was a humorous poem touch
ing upon political conditions in the city
hall at Buffalo, N. Y, where he then
lived.
With his back against the locked door.
he read the poem to a coterie of friends.
They all laughed heartily, but none so
heartily as the author himself.
Encouraged by their apparent apprecia-
ton Of his Wit. he took the poem to the
city editor Of a local paper. The editor
also laughed with heartiness which was
hattering. but he handed the manuscript
back.
"Why-isn't it good:" demanded the
poet In surprise.
"Fine!"
Aren't you going to print it?"
.I'd like to" replied the editor. lower
ing his voice to a whisper. but you see,

A quick and inexpensive method OF

consists in depositing raised lines OF some
plastic material on the glass in outline
of whatever design is desired. The glass

thereon, making a clear design. Colors
can be applied to the glass wherever
desired. thus giving the effect Of stained

Predisposition to Disease.

Children are seldom born diseased. They

Strawberry in Botany.

been the object of more experiments. with
the purpose OF securing both commercial
and fancy products. One Of the unlocked
for results. which came about years ago,
was the creation of pistillate or non-perfect
fruits. Botanically speaking, the straw
berry has a perfect flower, bearing both
stamen and pistils. and 50 being self-fer-
tilizing. As a matter Of fact. however.
a large number Of the best known culti-
waited varieties are not perfect. and 80 not
self -fertilizing. The amateur, falling to
appreciate this fact when setting out
bed Of Strawberries. sometimes confines
result that he gets few or no berries.
much to his establishment and disappoint-
ment. The common practice is to plant
alternate rows Of perfect and imperfect
plants, SO that proper fertilization Of all
the blossoms will be assured. Some writ
ers have deplored the fact that imperfect
varieties were ever tolerated. but. after
ali. their creation Is not entirely q mat
ter to be regretted. for the reason that
the pistils Of perfect plants often are
severely injured by frosts, while the sta
mems are unaffected. The pistils of i'm
perfect plants, on the other hand, seem
to offer much greater resistance to frosts.
This being the case, the presence OF both
staminate and piStiliate plants goes far
to insure a satisfactory crop each year.
Generally speaking, the strawberry is as
wholesome as 1t Is delicious. Cases are
reported of people who have splendid
health as long as the strawberry season
continues, but who are practically In q
state Of invalidism during the rest of the
wear On the other hand, people are found
occasionally upon whom strawberries pro-
duce a distressing rash. All in all. how
ever, the strawberry is the most popular
of small fruits.

Plants Taken to England.

Many plants both from New England
and Virginia were taken to England early
in the seventeenth century, where they
made no little sensation and were largely
cultivated. Later on the glory of the
strawberry as found in the eastern states
was dimmed by wonderful variety In
troduced from Chile, which was grown
first in California and later distributed
throughout the country. The same berry
had been grown In France for some time,
but was not hardy enough for successful
cultivation in the severe climate OF the
British Isles. From this Chilean berry.
crossed with the native varieties, have
come the most famous of the innumerable
cultivated sorts now under cultivation In
the United States.
Prof. Bailey of Cornell Ia authority for
the statement that the influence OF our
own field strawberry in the improvement
of the garden variety has evidently been
small. Nevertheless, this influence has
been OF great value In that 1t has i'm
parted to the many crosses that degree
OF hardness which makes their cultiva-
ton possible in the gardens OF the north.
Moreover. the native species are to be
credited with much Of the exquisite havor
Of the popular berries Of today. while the

extreme size and other prominent quail
ties as well as q change In the color Of
