Wild pansies.
By d. c. PEATTIE.

Cutting cross lots in the neighbor
hood of my home today, I passed
through a field that was blue with
violets-big, purple ones with long
stems; tiny, short-stemmed violets,
characteristic of the South, and, love
liest of all. the big bird violet,
which has two upper petals. dark.
pansy- purple. the three lower lilac
Sometimes all the petals are lilac, or
all white, or all rose. or Nariously
parti-colored. But among all the
handsome violets of that field bloomed
little patch of the most modest vio-
let's of all. the wild pansy. 1t boasts
no brilliance like the pansy of Eu
rope, viola tricolor. 1t is just a very
family colored pansy, it's tinting done
in water color rather than in the
Titan oils Of the garden pansy. It's
face is long and peculiar. Altogether
an eccentric little blossom.
And as it chances, it has been
named Viola Rainesquii, in honor of
q naturalist more eccentric than the
pansy itself Constantine Samuel
Rafinesque-S -SchmaltZ was the name in
which an early American naturalist
rejoiced. Rafinesque it was who was
20 years ahead of Darwin in Il theory
of evolution, but had not the powers
of concentration to work out Eis
theory to a conclusive argument
Rafinesque it was at whom all men
laughed in the days of the early Re
public. when science was considered
the hobby of cranks. He stopped at
nothing, this strange man; he was a
botanist. Conchologist, ornithologist,
inventor, herb doctor. theorist of
economics, and / know not how many
more kinds of man.
Having a biting tongue and being
embittered by adversely. he had a
genius for making enemies of every
body, even his friends, so that for
years his name was blackened by
American scientists and others. At
his death his precious collections We're
thrown away like trash: nobody kept
his books and manuscripts. His very
body was lowered into u hole IN the
ground where paupers were laid. To-
day, science has confessed it's in
justice, and Raf1nesque's name and
fame have been restored to honor and
his bones removed to a decent grave

I said: That's right. Spend the
