Ii was the women Of bingham, that
quaint old Massachusetts town, that
first brought down from their attics
their grandmothers' old candle molds
and began making the sweet smelling
green bayberry candles for few ap-
preciative people who wanted them to
burn In homes furnished In antiques.
The women OF charming old Deer6eld,
In the same state, shortly followed suit,
and then the housewives of Cape Cod

was present at the council Of Nlcaea.

riana and that ST. Athanaslus, who
knew all the notable bishops Of the
period, never mentions Nicholas, bish-
op Of Myra. The oldest known monu-
ment Of the cult of st. Nicholas seems
TO be the Church OF SITS. Prlscus and
Nicholas built at Constantinople by
the Emperor Jastinian. In the west

to Bari, where they were received In
triumph on the 9th of May, 1887, and
where the foundations were laid for a

the origin Of famous and still popu-

churches In England dedicated TO st.

Agricultural College, Miss. Dec.
9.--In planning for next years
work in home economics in Missis-
sipp provision is being made to car
ry on actively the agitation for run
nings water in the farm home, ae-
cording to the recent report of Miss
Susie V. Powell, head of the home
economics demonstration forces in
this state. Miss Powell states that
each of the county agents had active
charge of the recent waterworks
week campaign in her respective dis
trict, as this is considered the most
important phase of the home econo-
mics work.
During waterworks week 150 meet
ings were held in the counties hav-
ing home economics agents, at which
l0,250 persons received instruction
in the installation of home water
works. In Harrison county Miss
May Quarles records the installation
of eight systems in private homes,
with ten others preparing to put in
one of the systems recommended by
the college Miss Ivy Causey of
Pearl River county reports that eight
consolidated schools and five private
homes now have waterworks systems.
Miss Annabel Hughes of Grenada re-
ports that ten systems will soon be
installed in her district, and similar
news comes from Pamela, Montgom-
cry, and twenty other counties where
moving pictures, school catechisms,
and other novel methods of arousing
interest in waterworks have been
used.

THE shepherds, watching through

THE shepherds, watching through
i the night,
We're startled by an angel bright,
Who bade them not to fear,
For he brought tidings of great joy
That will the sin of Eve destroy
And dry the bitter tear.
The shepherds, kneeling on the sod,
Then heard that Christ. the Son of
God,
Was in stable born,
So poor that on a bed of hay
The lovely infant Jesus lay
A manger to adorn.
The shepherds to adore him went
And heard the choirs from heaven
sent
With grandest voices sing,
Glory be to God on high
And ON earth peace to those who try
To love the infant King.
