It is what we harbor in our minds
that makes or mars US. There is
nothing nIushroomy about immortality
or crime-ft - not quick of develop
ment The mind kept negative TO dis
honesty docs not feel like cheating or
resorting to any other wrong practice;
and the mind which finds pleasure in
thoughts of love does not resort to
crime or murder. The way has to be
prepared by entertaining hatred and
in undertaking probity and honor and
life. Thought gathers energy for good
or bad action, and this is why thought
has been declared to be a force, a fact
which is not given enough serious at
iention by the people. Plato in his
time said: Thinking is the talking of
the soul with itself; but in this day
the theory IS held that thought is the
medium by which we rule the subcon-
scious mind or by which the subcon-
scious mind rules us. It determines
whether you or 1 shall be as a master
or a slave; and as we elect so we go
up pr down in our career. Thought
prepares the way for crime as well as
for noble deeds. Young said: Guard
well your thoughts. for thoughts are
heard in Heaveni"

The MAN WHO TALKS

1t is not strange when a novice on
some frosty morning in October comes
across the gentian, the little, blue
fringed flower. which looks as if it
had been cut from the sky and given
20 earth by some fairy queen, that the
exclamation is heard: What do you
suppose the name of this beaut1fuI
flower is?" And the name gentian
seems SO closely to resemble genii that
it appears TO have got its name from
those imaginary guardian angels OF
the oiden time: but ii did not, for IN
the practical age when the tribal name
of this flower was applied it was the
medicinal properties of the roots. not
the pretty flower of the gentian which
were most valued; and because 1t
proved of value to King Gentius OF
Illyria. in time of disease and distress,
it was given royal title. 1t is pretty
enough for royal name without any
regard 10 the healing virtue OF its
roots But it has excited the fancy
Of the poets, and it's origin has thus
been depleted: 'Once to the Angel
of Bi4 Dis, far up in the ripping air,
From low on the loved earth, the
Angel Of Flowers breathed prayer:
Four plu1nes from the bluebird's wing,
and I'll make me something rare.
-Four p1tmes from the bfuebird's wing

Angel of Flowers caught them up as
they fell in the autumn dew, and
shaped with a twirl of her fingers this

II is not often that one sees the
children of the butterfly, Papilio phi
Tenor. preparing to pupate as late as
October 26th; but on that frosty morn
ing / observed one hanging head down
ward on the stem of running rose,
preparing to cast its skin and to hang
dormant and fast for the next seven
months. II had selected its place hur-
riedIy and carelessly for one usually
so particular: and its power of eudur-
ance will be severely tested in posi-
ton so exposed and bleak. This was
doubtless the last of the young brood
of caterpillarS that l saw on The
DuJchman's pipe foliage about the 10th
of September and which survived he
freeze of the 18th when the thermom-
eter went down to 26 degrees. The
conditions under which it has come to
maturity give promise that it will ne
understood and have all the peculidri-
ties of all varieties of lepidoptera
known to have autumn broods. 1t is
the greenisl enamcled underwings
with their white spots which makes
this sWallow-tail butterfly fancied by
collectors; and its fancy for the
pipe makes bred specimens
obtainable.
