(To be continued.) + IN DEFENCE OF A BERRY. By Peter McArthur. There is an old saying, "Give a dorf a bad name, and kill him," which ap- plies everywhere in life. No mattef how good a thing may be, if you give it a bad name you may as well do away with it. It is all very well for Shakespeare to say that "A rose by any other name would smell ai sweet," but if you called a new va- riety of rose "The Skunk Cabbage Rose" it would take a long while winning favor. I am moved to make these reflec- tions because one of the best of our tender fruits suffers from a bad name, and I wish to proclaini *•?: f**^ that its bad name is due to a strange mistake. The very name gooseberry suggests something about which one could not hope 'to be enthusiastic in spite of the fact that gooseberry win« figures in the Vicar of Wakefield, that literary masterpiece in which everything is dainty. And the chil- dren who have not yet learned th« disfavor that goes with the name "goose" will reach for gooseberry tart before any other, but the name "goose" puts all grown ups on their guard. And now comes a great phil- ogist who proves the name is a vulgar and ignorant mistake. The berry is one that should be known as the Saintsberry â€" and the berry of the most beloved of saints at that. Mr. Fox Talbot gives the follovring remarkable account of the origin of the name "gooseberry"; Gooseberries are called in German, Johannis-beer- en, that is, "John's berries," because they ripen about the feast of St. John. St. John is called in Holland, St. Jan, and the fruit is there called "Jans- beeren." Now this word has been â€" centuries ago â€" corrupted into "Gans- beeren," of which our English word Gooseberries is a literal translation; Gans in German signifying a goose. So you see that the only thing the matter with the delicately flavored .,,,._ -St. John's berry is that it has suf- But of the secret that lay between imperce^itible difference with which ifg^ed from a touch of German Kultur those eternal rounds which sometimes "But AOoipne aont you see now ^ had brought pleasure, but oh, how peculiar people will think it?

We knew most all there was to know concerning birds and things, where the meadow lark had hid its nest and the blue jay flashed its wings. We knew that old black crows could talk when once their tongues were split, and how to wind a birch bark torch and hold it when 'twas lit. We learned an awful lot of things they never print in copperas, one barrel of lime. A little charcoal and soft coal might help. Making a Tree Comfortable.

After they once become established they can do considerable towards taking care of themselves. what the pebbles said, he had laugh ingly refused to be enlightened. For nothing on earth would he have heard what Azuma had to tell him, for if she predicted evil from the match, and somehow he felt as if it might bring evil, he still would marry her, and if it were not, why all the better; that too he would find out for himself. And then there were other reasons why he would not include his love for Judith with the things he Consulted Azuma about. It would have seemed almost like disloyalty. Yet he had felt that she did not like his marrying, that she foresaw with some reason an end of their strange alliance of friendship, an end of th him, and her, she never thought now, for all her wealth she was treated by never.
