FlOWera in the Pulpit.

''If you want some nice flowers"
said the man with the red mustache,
'just go to church on Sundays and
you'll find them on the altar. No mat
ter how hard up church may be and
how closely it may count it's expenses
in other directions, it seldom econo-
mizes in flowers. 1t is not the big
churches alone that scorn to stint
themselves in flowers. The little
chapels whose parishioners are GER
tainly not rolling in wealth, and where
every penny is held at it's par value
likewise provide a splendid floral Of
fering to gladden. the eyes of pastor
and congregations. OF course, in a
good many less pretentious houses OF
worship beautiful effects are obtained
from the artistic arrangement of rath-
er plebian blossoms, but in most
churches flowers that are really fine
and expensive are used the year round,
and the lower Committee often finds
that altar decoration is the biggest
item on it's list of expenditures.
'"The selection of pulpit flowers Is
generally left to the discretion of the
florist, who sends the bouquet every
Sunday morning shortly before serv-
ice. Occasionally. however, the
Chairman of the Flower Committee
gives him a tip as to the favorite
flower of the pastor, and, when max
ing his selection, he tactfully bears
that preference in mind. New York

The Woodchuck.

H. D. Reed and Verne Morton, in
country Life in America, tell an inter-
esting and pictorial story of the wood
chuck, or ground hog.
Perhaps no wild mammal" says
Mr.. Reed, sis more familiar to coun-
try people that the woodchuck. Every
hillside and meadow is dotted with
the small piles of earth which mark
the doorway to his home. The wood
chuck prefers hillside or knoll in
which to dig his hole, for here he can
easily make the end of his den higher
than the beginning, thus avoiding the
danger of being drowned out.
What could be more unlike in gen.
eral appearance than woodchuck and
a squirrel? Yet they are cousins, both
belong to the same family of mammals.
The trim body, sharp claws and agility
of the squirrels make it possible for
them to lead an arboreal life, jumping
recklessly from branch to branch,
while the flabby form and short legs
of the woodchuck better adapt him for
digging than for running or climbing.
''The nature of the food of the wood
chuck is such that he cannot lay up
stores as the chipmunks do, nor is it
of such kind that it can be obtained
during the winter. The case of this
creature during the winter seems to
be, therefore, one of sleep long and
soundly or starve. During the win

Mother Love in Bird Life.

"a Tragedy in Bird Life" was the
inscription on pasteboard box re-

skeletons of three little orioles, and,

string that helped to hold the nest to-
gether.
The story needed no words. One
could almost see the struggles Of the
mother, maddened by the cries of her
little ones for food, knowing she was
so near and failing to understand why
she did not come to their relief. AS
their cries grew weaker the mother
bird redoubled her efforts to free her
self, but without success. Other birds
lowered about in a questioning way.

sympathy, and then hurried to their
own nests and their own little ones.
The mother oriole struggled fierce
ly, but her strength was failing rapid
ly, and as darkness fell she was hang
ing with half closed eyes against the
nest, almost at the opening. All
through the night she struggled con-
vulsively, but each effort was weaker
than the one before. When morning
came a ray of light found its way
through the trees and touched her, as
If in benediction. The struggles ceased,
and she was dead. The little ones
slowly starved to death, calling for
the mother with their last breath.
