An Attractive Window Decoration

Among pretty and picturesque window
decorations, / have found the sweet-pO-
tato vine one of the most satisfactory.
The foliage is more abundant than upon
most other vines; the growth In good
soil is rank and sturdy, while the color
of the leaves is rarely other than fine,
deep green, which is most restful to the
eye. tits we'll to start the vines before
very cold weather, but this is not i'm
perative. The most luxuriant vine
ever raised was started in midwinter.
| found the best results by using a
twelve-inch pot filled half full of the
very best old barnyard compost and leaf
mold, thoroughly mixed, with the re-
mainder clear sand. The sweet potato
likes sandy soil and can, when ii
chooses, send its roots deep into the
mold.
One good-sized, healthy looking pota-
20 will furnish many vines. Place the
tuber in sand in window near the fire.
1t will soon throw out strong shoots
which, when well-rooted, may readily be
detached and potted. Be sure that the
sand becomes quite dry before you at
tempt to remove the shoots. BY this
means, all of the fine roots may be saved
and the plant will at once begin growing
The tuber itself need not be disturbed,
if only three or four shoots are wanted
at the time, but may grow indefinitely,
furnishing vines for several households.
Merely let the sand run off at one side
while detaching the shoots wanted for
that pottiDg.
A well-rooted, growing vine makes a
very pretty and welcome present for an
invalid, or is an addition to collection
already started.-Ex.

ness to the Helpless.
Dear little Dick. What gay crea
ture he was! He used to go singing
about nearly all day, for he was al
ways merry. One day Dick went off to
take a ramble in a large forest at some
distance from home. He had often
been on the edge of the forest, but II
looked so dark that he was afraid Ia
enter. But Dick was more merry than
usual on this day, for the sun shone sc
brightly and the flowers looked SO love.
ly that he sang and whistled till the
woods rang with his music.
There was clear brook running
through the woods, and Dick stopped
down to drink of its refreshing waters.
when. 10. he was seized suddenly from
behind and found himself in the hands
of fierce, ugly looking giant.
The poor little captive tried hard to
get away. but the giant held him tight
until he reached his home. and Dick
shivered when he saw the huge struc'
ture, with no trees nor flowers near 1t.
Dick wondered whether the giant
was going to kill him. but before he
had time for further thought he was
thrust into Il prisonlike room, barred
on all sides to prevent his getting out.
Dick grew sadder and lOnelier as he
thought of his own pretty home. his
companions. the sunlight. the trees and
the good things he had to eat. AT such
times he screamed and beat himself
against the iron walls. but only sue
ceeded in bruising himself.
One day the giant came. and, poking
stick into Dicks prison, he cried
Sing. Sing! Sing But poor Dick
was too sad to sing. The giant grew
furious. and, grabbing Dick in his
enormous hand. he squeezed the life
out OF little Dick.
Dick was Il bird. and the giant was
a cruel boy.-Phiadelphia Ledger.

No. 7.-Around the World.

In his trip around the world Peter
Porter visited different nations. Here
are a few of them. The people OF
the first nation Peter visited were al
comfortable and happy because when
there was anything to be done they all
worked together. Each did his share
of the work and had his share Of the
profits. Peter did not stay long with
the next nation he came to, because
they were in such fright about some
thing that they had nearly lost their
wits. The third nation was no better
for they were always seeing things
that did not exist.
Next Peter found nation whose
people were so much interested in the
sprouting of seeds that they were like
the boys and girls who every day dig
up the seeds they have planted in their
gardens to see if they are growing.
The people of the fifth nation Peter
visited he found SO charming and
agreeable that 1t was hard for him to
leave them.
