The district around Niag- ara Falls and Toronto has been visit ed by flocks of these winter visitors. Some people think they are star- lings, the birds that came over to Long Island, N.Y., some years ago and have since visited Ontario. But people who have seen English star- lings in England say these birds are not starlings. Can apy one tell us what birds they are? That St, Valentine who was mar- tyred about the year 270 A.D. has always been considered the patron saint of lovers. In the early days of Rome the goddess Juno was honor- ed by a day set apart for youths and maidens and on this special day, dainty missives were exchanged in a mysterious way. The Roman girls found declarations of love hidden in the flowers growing in their garden, sometimes openly and sometimes un- | der a disguise easily penetrated. The Christian church did with this heath- en festival what she did with the heathen festival which we have for centuries celebrated as All Hallow's Eve, and called it by the mame of the kindly saint who had been mar- tyred In spite of_his goodness to the sick and suffering.- So to-day in the decorations used in our homes and bought fn our shops, we are really following a custom originated in pagan Rome many, many centuries ago. -- That last week was an ideal one for sleigh rides, for the weather was not too cold and there is enough snow to make sleighing good.

THE HOUSE WITH NOBODY IN IT. By Joyce Kilmer. Whenever I walk to Suffern along the Brie track, I go by a poor old farmhouse with vits shingles broken and black. I suppose I've passed it a hundred times, but I always stop for a minuta And look at the honse, the tragic house, the house with nobody in it. - I have never pean a haunted house, but I hear there are puch things; | That they hold the talk of spirits, their mirth and sorrowings. 1 know this house lant haunted, and I wish it-were, I do; For it wouldn't be so lonely if it had a ghost or two. This house on the road to Suffern needs @ dozen panes of glass, And somebody ought to weed the ~~ walk and take a scythe fo the grass, It needs new paint and shingles, and the vines should be trimmed "and ted; But what it needs most of all is some people living inside. If I had a lot of money and all my debts were paid, I'd put a gang of men to work with brush apd gaw and blade. I'd buy that place and fix it up the way it used to be, i And I'd find some people who wanted a home and give it to them free. Now, a new house standing empty, with staring window and iP, Looks idle, perhaps, and foolish, like a hat on its block in the store, But there's nothing mournful about it; it cannot be sad and lone, - For the lack of something within a that it has never, But a house that has Aone what. » house should do, a house that has sheltered life, a That has put its loving wooden arms around a man. and his wife, A house that has echoed a baby's laugh and held up his stumb- ling feet, : Is the saddest sight, when it's left alons, that ever your eyes could meet.
