Though tbe weather of late haa been
more or less Wintry, there are be
ginning to be signs that Spring is
waiting behind the clouds and is
nearly ready to make her appearance
in spite of the fact that tbe calendar
declares the season to be midwinter.
The Spring flowers are growing.
The "grass widows" and the "bird-
bills," though not so early bloomers
as some others, are announcing their
presence by well developed stems and
leaves. If a "red lily' bulb is dug
up, it will be found to have a growth
of two or three inches toward the

above ground. Daffodil steams are
growing rapidly. Nature is awaken
