THE MAN WHO TALKS


 We are all tee negligent of psyeho- logical effeets-we take toe little note of the power of suggestion. We de- press others not enly by words but by leeks. Most persons dc not realize how even children read faces, as well as ponder upon words. Very good mothers say to children seriously i'll, Pm afraid you are going te die!' in stead of "The good Lord will make you well. He has power to savel An expression of anxiety on the lace or parents depresses sick children if they do not counteract their influence by positive words of hope. Only master of mind can control facial expression, but any thoughtful person may say helpful word. How you are losing fiesh!'' is an unnecessary remark to 6 person failing. for they are aware of that, but may not be alarmingiy con scious of it. There are too many alarm ists in private life. They are not really needed.
 You often hear people say they have two minds about a thing, meaning two opinions: but man is fast becoming conscious that he is really two-mind- ed creature, that he has a conscious and a sub conscious mind. The con- scious mind is the servant of the will, while the sub-conscious mind directs all physical action which is involun- tary; and the sub- conscious mind plays pranks with the individual if he does not maintain a positive rela- tion to it. It makes an early riser per plexed who depends on alarm clocks to be awakened, rise unconsciously and shut them off so they will not strike, and miss his train; but it never gives him a train of thought to reveal this, but lets him be amazed for life and unable to tell how 1t happened unless he be- comes conscious that 1t is most essen tial that he should know himself, and he starts on the road to knowledge of his own duality. You do not be- lieve it Most people do not; but what is disbelief but check to advance ment?
 There are gardens and gardens, but the best home gardens of today, like the wild gardens of God, have their paths, their sunny retreats and seclud- ed hooks. The dahlia patch is not a garden in any sense except it's infior- escence-a place in which scentless flowers are grown, as all know who have strolled through the weedless paths of Hillcrest at Westerly, R. l., where dahlias of marvellous form and beauty are always to be seen at this time of year. It is more than up to date, for it Is leading with a special type of long-stemmed single dahlias in several colors, which are selling for two dollars a dozen, and which they have the exclusive right to grow in America for two years. Otis F. Chapman, Jr.'s dahlia patch at Vest erly Is regular automobile resort for a gone of a hundred miles, to say noth- Ing of the daily visit of dahlia fan ciers from far and near. and their sales cover half the country. Hillcrest is wonder of color and beauty just now and will continue to be until the close of the season.
 The cardinal flower is one of New Engiand's prettiest blooms. It is never common, like the daisy or the golden rod, and 1t prefers part shade. as does the pansy. In 6 recent trolley ride l got glimpses of it standing like the blue- Aug, with its feet in the water of a brook beneath shrubbery or trees. It seemed to stand in small groups ad miring its own shadow in the water. In the language of flowers 1t stands for distinction, but 1t could as well perhaps, symboliEe vanity. There is only one flower of a more brilliant red and that Is the painted cup, but It lacks the grace of form and beauty of this water-lover And a white cardi- nal flower is occasionally seen by the botanists, as well as white fringed gentian. It is in it's fiery array when 1t seems dedicated to Mars that it finds most favor. The cardinal flower parades in small companies and likes seclusion and it looks prettiest in its own selected solitude.
 saw two aged persons in crowded railway station the other day saying the parting words. The great crowd hurried by and only few noticed how calmly they separated after their in audible words of farewell. They were a man and woman and they kissed each other twice. and this was the only sign of deep feeling visible, then he ran for the train and she turned and was lost in the crowd and then miles opened between them and per haps their hearts ached in unison as in thought they followed one another I asked myself what those two calm kisses meant. and became inwardly conscious that age Is not as emotion less as it sometimes seems. As they looked into each others eyes witl touched lips-as they peered through the windows of one another's souls they may have seen grief mirrored sit ting in one another's hearts. The hu. man heart can feel tears when they fail to rise to the eyelid; but they parted with the kindly word not know. ing whether they would meet again or earth; but Love may havea whisperes to them you cannot be parted forever E The life of a butterfly is a life O peril.
