and the English heather also are mem bers Every one knows it's lovely, she'll like pink -andwhite flowers, and it's delicate fragrance, the first and most exquisite breath of the spring.
 It is a little trailing plant with q tough, rusty stem, and heart shaped leaves very thickly nettled, of rather dull light green. The flowers grow in clusters. They are gamopetalous; that is, instead of having five peals, as one would think, there in really but one petal-a slender tube opening out into five points. They vary from pure white to a deep rose-pink.
 Look first along the southern edge of wood, or some bank or hillside facing the sun and sheltered from all the cold north winds. You will be pretty sure at last we see little white star, and then cluster of pink buds.
 A few days later you will find them blossoming thickly through the places that they like best of all-flelds of dead dry grass, and brown hummocky pastures. Here you will probably find the pinkest ones, usually one plant by itself that for some reason has deep rose colored flowers, while all it's neig. bors are in apple blossom pink and white. The dark-pink Mayfiowers are much priZed, but they are hardly more beautiful than the pure white ones, which blossom deep in the woods long after their sisters in the field have withered. These Mayfowers growing in the woods have a character of their own; the plant is usually thin and struggling, not compact like those in the open field; the leaves are large and very green, and the large white flowers are apt to come singly instead of in thick clusters
 But. wherever you try to find May flowers, you must knew how to look for them. When you see a flower, follow the stem carefully, and you will find that it brings up with it half dozen pink clusters that were wholly hidden. Only sometimes after a warm spring rain the little flowers seem to come out to drink, and where the day before you could scarcely find one you will see hundreds.
 And word about how to pick them. The stems are very tough. You try to break them, 10 twist them then you give pull and up the whole thing comes. Take two good things with you on your spring walks and q peninife; and don't, besause you like Mayflowers, destroy the little plants that might give so much pleasure to you and to other people year after year.-Roselind Richard in St. Nicholas.

 Whereas, The constitutional conven- tion has voted that the future legisla- lures shall consist of one member from each town in the lower house and that there shall be a senate of sixty mem bers.

AVERAGE AGE OF DOGS.

Probably About Ten Years, Although
 Many Live Much Longer
 The age to which a dog lives in the ordinary course is always a somewhat interesting subject, especially at the present time, when so much Is done in the way of breeding for early maturity. For instance, we have both collies and fox terriers becoming bench champions before they are well out of their puy- pyhood, but it is sad to say that in majority of cases the overshown dog af- terward rapidly degenerates or dies an early death. A correspondent writes to the Field of the death of his fox terrier at the advanced age of eighteen years, having been born in 1884. He was eith- CT a son or grandson of Brokenhurst Joe his late owner does not know which This is no doubt a case of unu- sual longevity; but instances of dogs living to fourteen and fifteen years are common. pr.

nished, are exposed as evidence of
dear friendships, and as the old year
merges into the new, are surely times

by all Christerdom, is recalled. The

Angel, "Hml Mary full of grace
blessed art thou among women"
Then, the Nativity, and all its
mysteries. The wise men led to the
humble shed by The mysterious star
that shone over the plains of Judea
and the story of the bewildered
shepherds, who heard the song of
''Peace on earth, good will to men. :"
All this wonderful story, commenc-

the conditions that exist all over the
