Wild Strawberries.

Strawberries have improved very
much in flavor since the fifteenth
century. Until then the only straw
berries eaten were wild strawberries
Of kind that would never find a
market nowadays. By 1850, however,
they were beginning to be cultivated,
for Holinshed records under that
date a particularly fine crop grown
by the Bishop of Ely in the grounds
Of his palace, now covered by Hatton
Garden.
He quotes the Duke of Gloucester
as saying to the Bishop, "My lord,
you have very good Strawberries in
your garden in Holburn. require
you to let us have mess of them"
This speech was copied almost verba--
tim by Shakespeare in Richard Ill"
Still. even the Bishops fruit would
not appeal much to modern connois-
seurs, for the garden strawberries at
that period were only transplanted
wildlings, the plants being sold at
about I'D. bushel.-London Chron-
icle.

out, saying: There's a horrld fiyl"
off down the avenue of trees went
Uncle Blue Bottle and little Grey
Wings, and pretty soon their noses
led them to a certain spot on sun
shiny street. There they saw some
large boxes filled with ripe peaches
and mellow apples, all ready for ship
ment. Uncle Blue Bottle found nice
soft spot on a peach and went to sip
ping at it, Little Grey Wings saw him
and hurried to the same spot. There
they proceeded to sip and sip of the
Juice of the peach through the soft spot.
and crawled quite way into the crate
in which the peach was. hiding them
selves between two rich peaches. And
there they stayed until the crate was
quickly and roughly picked up by a
man, carried to a box-car on a side
track and thrust into 1t. And pretty
soon, after the car was filled, the door
to the car was closed and it began to
move. And then Uncle Blue Bottle
and little Grey Wings started on the
journey of their life. and their death.

For ever and ever so long they trav-
elled in that dark car, which was ter
ribly hot for the first two or three
days; then it became cooler. And
after the fourth day it got very COOL
and then still cooler. And they were
in very rough country, If they could
have peeped out through the door to
look at ii. There were high mountains
and plenty of snow on top of them.
And then the two travellers became
very tired and lonely, and wished
from the bottom Of their hearts that
they were back in the old, big. back
porch again. even though 1t had
screen doors which kept them out OF
the good-smalling kitchen.
One day, after very cold ride, the
door of the car opened and men be-
gan unloading the crates of fruit.
Uncle Blue Bottle flew out towards
the sunlight. and little Grey Wings fol-
lowed him. They felt very chilled, and
tried to find a spot where they could
get warm. Something white was on
the ground above them--up on the
nearby mountains--and the chill from
1t hurt them terribly. Little Grey
Wings found bare tree limb and
perched on It. Uncle Blue Bottle found

on the corner of it. 1t vas the roof
