to choose a• collection that will give

tulips bloom out of doors in late
May.
Bulbs should be potted as soon an
they are received in September and
October. Those intended for very
early abloom may be had in Septem•

the market until October. A good
potting soil consists of equal parts
of loam, well -decay -.d row manure,
leaf mould, and sand. The sire and
style of pot Lased will depend to
some extent on the per.onal prc'fel i

will hold six tulips, a five -inch pot
takes six crocus bulbs, a four n' five
inch pot may be used for a etngle
hyacinth bulb and a seven or eight -
inch pot will be required for five or
six narcissus bulbs.
In potting, leave the top of the
bulbs level with the snrfeee of the
soil and press: it firmly about them
but do not have it too compact be-

After planting, water the pots and
set them in a cellar or darkened

gave concerts at which she and her

Honey For Export
In order to build up a profitable
export trade in honey it has been
considered necessary by the Depart-
ment of Agriculture at Ottawa to
give some attention to the matter of
inspecting the honey on its way out
of the country. In the latest Report
of the Dominion Apiarist, published
by the Department of Agriculture
at Ottawa, Canadian honey, it is' stat
ed, is commencing to hold a promin-

Sundays throughout the year are to

list is that China's famous "humilia-
tion days" --anniversaries of subjec-
tion to foreign indignities, such as the
Japanese, presentation of the twenty-

able criticism has in times past been
made that China observed more days
of humiliation than of jubilation,
The State Council has corrected
that matter. While October 10 is na-

recognized as the anniversary of the
establishment of the republic.

The enormous density of certain
stars, was the theme of an address
recently gtvea before the Institute of
Mechanical Engineers, In London, by
Prof. A. S. Eddington. "There are
two or three stars known to us which
are believed to possess marvellous
density. The best-known of these is
the companion of Sirius. The dens-
ity is found to be 60,000 times that
