LIFE OF THE NARCIssUs.
"A Plant That Teaches Us a Lesson In
 Patient >Wsitinu. .-

Edtieuf WaiSin9. Fifty weeks of saving for one or two of spending! Eleven months of living in darkness for one month of sunshine Three hundred and fifty days as an ugly, brown, dirty bulb for fifteen days as a beautiful fragrant flower If ever you want lesson in patient waiting turn to the flower which is satisfied to remain obscure nearly all its life for the privilege of blooming for few days-the narcissus.
 The bulb existence of the narcissus is so much Obscured that we forget all about how the flower is using it as q savings bank or q life insurance pol icy. What we think is a worthless, ugly clump in the earth is busy the year round storing up nourishment and strength to serve the flower dur ing it's blooming period.
 If the bulb were not of saving dis position there would be no blossoms. The flower i'll turn takes sunlight and oxygen and sends it into the bulb to store away for another period of blooming. It depends upon the bulb to conserve this strength. and the bulbs thrift never fails.
 Don't make the mistake of calling the bulb the root. In reality the bulb is the stem Of the flower, made out of a cluster of thick leaves. Planted in the earth the bulb sends down roots, which seize fast to the soil and drag the parent bulb down with them.- Philadelphia North American.
