some moss that you can order at
the same time with the bulbs, or
else in large, rather shallow
dish filed with pebbles and
water. About Christmas time
you will have some beautiful
blossoms for decoration.
The album should be planted,
half a dozen in small pot or can
and pot of beautiful little white
blossoms will greet you for sew
eral weeks. By keeping some of
these in the dark and a cool
place they can be held back so
as to be good for Easter.
Of course much larger col
lection than this can be bought
and planted if desired. and the
fall catalogues of the seed houses
give you good directions how to
care for them and plant them.
No better adornment for a
home could be had. These flow
ering bulbs are quite hardy. In
almost any home place can be
found for them where they will
not freeze.

The Winning Issue.

We have talked to a number of
the Democratic speakers in the
recent campaign and found them
practically unanimous in the
opinion that ''Watchful Waiting"
was the most popular argument
to be used in favor of an en-
dorsement of the Wilson admin
istration. This argument was
made especially effective when
contrasted with the diplomacy of
Europe which plunged the Old
Country into war.
Other issues, such as tariff,
currency, trust legislation, were
popular in some sections, and
equally unpopular in others, as
the result of the election attested.
They were assailed by Republi-
can speakers, but nowhere did
either Progressive or Republican
campaigner attack "Watchful
Waiting"
In the light of the dire proph-
estes made by Mr.. Bryan's en-
emies that he would wreck the
Wilson administration, lis doub.
ly interesting and gratifying to
know that winning issue of the
recent campaign came from the
work of the Department Of State.

SIRIUS. THE DOG STAR.
II Was Given Its Canine Name by the
superstitious Egyptians.


The giant sun. the bright star Sirius,
is now called the dog star" from the
very ancient and curious custom or
persOniicatiOn. The great nations or
remote antiquity personifed every ac-
tivity of nature-that is, compared
them to living men or animals.
They didn't know a thing OF an
law of nature, so they said that motion
Is caused by living animals, because
only animals have the inscrutably
mysterious power of moving them
selves No wonder the ancientS were
astoniShed to see an animal move IT
self. And the wonder has vastly in
creased now. for the ablest scientific
man cannot possibly see how an AMI
NAL is able to move.
The overflowing Of the Nile was the
chief event in all of Egypt Without
this pouring of water over the land
once each year, the valley would be a
desert. The Egyptians at a certain
period in their long history noticed
that when they first saw the star Sirius
early in the morning before sunriSf
the Nile river began to rise ana pOC'
over the banks. They perSOniheC
Sirius as a watchdog. watching the
sun and the Nile and the land OF
Egypt, its people, destiny and harvests-
The Egyptian name OF the Nile was
Siris, and he faithful dog watching
in the sky was finally named Sirius
Centuries later their horrible religion
taught that it was necessary to muir
der or sacrifice a dog to the star Sirius
to secure its aid in growing grains and
herds This terrible habit of slaughter
ing animals to prOpitiate imaginary
gods descended to the Greeks and RO-
mans. The Romans named the stars
near Sirius the constellation CAMS

War Time Comets.

The curious are noting that in
the past four centuries various
great comets have been visible
in the Russian dominions only II
times, and that each time such
an appearance has conceded
with great wars in which Russia
has been engaged. The only
exception to the rule that a
bright comet has been plainly
visible every time Russia has
been at war for four centuries
were the Turkish campaign of
1877 and the war with Japan,
though in the latter case a COM
ct became visible in January,
1904.
Delavant's comet, recently dis
covered, keeps up the tradition,
and corresponds in some respects
very nearly to the comet of 1872,
the year of Russia's last great
national war against the "12
tribes of Europe" under Napo.
leon. The present comet will re-
visible for about the same period
of the year as the comet of 1872.

LINED WITH SPIDER WEBS.
One Has to Cut Ones Way Through
the Roads of Paraguay.


the Roads of Paraguay.
The roads of Paraguay are about five
yards wide throughout, and the trees
meet overhead at a height of some
eighteen feet thus forming tunnel Of
very uniform dimensions. In the clear
parts of the tunnel-that is, where 1t
is not choked up with the giant net
tle-it is full from roof to ground of
enormous spiders webs stretching
clear across the road, the big trees
usually being chosen as anchorages
and the total clear span being thus
more like eight yards than five.
The main cables or framework OF
the nets are composed Of five or six
strands of thick yellow web and are
almost as strong as cotton thread. The
rest of the net is made up of single and
double strands of the same stout ma
terial, which is as sticky as it is strong
Every yard or so one of these nets ex-
tends across ones path, making it nee
essary to hold a cutlass or a fairly
stout stick at arms length In front as
one walks.
The makers of these troublesome but
picturesque Instructions are large,
highly colored. gaudy looking spiders
with bodies that look as If they were
about to explode. they are so blown
out and glossy.
At intervals in some more open space
where the sky is visible one will no
tee a different kind of web, far more
irregular in shape. but far larger than
the others. Not content with the
space available in the tunnel, these
webs are stretched in complicated
mazes from the ground to the very
tops of the surrounding trees, with
clear spans frequently twenty or thirty
yards from one tree to another.
From these main cables smaller ones
extend to the ground-a drop Of fifteen
or twenty yards-and the spaces In be-
tween are filed up with a mass of
webs spun in all directions. - Wids

first haste it in, and then sew it
on the machine with two rows of
stitching, one a little within the
other. Trim the rough edges
down 70 the stitching (the edge
of the patch and the worn edge
of the garment).
When the garments are too
much worn to be of service to
the original owners, cut them
down and make smaller ones for
children. The little shirts and
drawers cost great deal more
in proportion than larger ones,
so this is practical economy.
Sew all seams on the machine,
with a loose stitch, then turn
them open and finish by hand,
catchEstitching from one side to
the other. Finish the bottoms
and sides of the drawers with a
crochet hook and either darning
or mercerized cotton. 1t is
very simple stitch. Fasten the
thread; put the hook through the
goods, drawing a stitch through
on the hook and leaving the
loop on the needle (this makes
the first stitch; then put the
hook through the goods; draw a
stitch through I'm a kin g two
stitches on the hook; then draw
the thread through both. Repeat.
This has the effect of the ma
chine finish, and gives a neat ap-
pearance. Finish the drawers
at the top with muslin bands
containing buttonholes.
The little shirts are finished at
the tops and wrists with the cro-
cheting. A simple beading is
crocheted around the neck to
run tape or ribbon through.
All this may sound elaborate,
but it really takes only a little
time. Two garments can be al
t most entirely made in an hour.
7 The bottoms of the large shirts
can be converted into very de-
! sirable petticoats for the little
2 daughter. Cut the garments
l away below the sleeves, finish {
placket and sew on a muslin
/, band around the'top. Finish the
4 lower edge with the croche+
e stitch or face with a strip Of

Mendine Flannel Underwear.

Now is the time when winter
underwear must be mended and
put into shape for cold weather.
In mending the flannel under
wear, it is a good idea to sew a
piece of cheese cloth under the
thin places and then darn through
it. The cheesecloth takes the
strain, if any.
Sometimes a patch of the WOW

FIRST COMMUNION TIME.

Every week sees thousands of lit
tie ones going to their first Holy
Communion. The decree issued by
the Holy Father that the age at
which children might approach the
Holy Table for the first time should
be lessened was a momentous utter
ance. Its wisdom Is seen in churches
throughout the world these beautiful
Sunday mornings when mere tots of
z years approach the Communion rail
with a reverence that indicates an ap-
probation and knowledge Of their
faith. It is little wonder that on
such an occasion the entire congre-
CATION tries to attend that single
service. Most Of those present have
experienced the same happiness that
the day brings and it is almost as
keen a pleasure to witness the recep-
tion Of the Sacrament by the chill
dren Of another generation as IL 1t
were the occasion Of ones initial
communion. The Blessed sacra-
ment is ever new and ever ef1cacious
and It is q beautiful thought and Gus
tom for the entire family Of first
communicates to receive with their
little ones on that occasion and thus
make It q day Of collective and not
entirely one Of individual Joy
