They DON'T Grow OLD "A good
woman never grows old. Years may
20 over her head, but if benevoleDce
and virtue dwell in her heart, she is
as cheerful as when the spring OF life
first opened to her view. When we
look upon good woman, we never
think of her age-she looks as charm
ing as when the rose Of youth first
bloomed upon her cheek That rose
has not faded yet it will never fade.
In her neighborhood she is the friend
and benefactor, in the church the de-
vout worshipper and exemplary
christian. Who does not love and
respect the woman who has passed
her days in acts of kindness and
mercy-who has been the friend of
man and God-whose whole life has
been a scene of kindness aud love.
devotion Of love and religion? We
repeat, such woman cannot grow
old. She will always be fresh and
ouoyant in spirits, and active in
humble deeds of mercy and benevo-
lence' If theyoung lady desires to
retain the bloom and beauty of youth.
let her not yield TO the SWAY of fash,
ion and folly, let her love truth and
virtue and to the close of life she
will retain those feelings which now
make life appear garden of sweets
ever fresh and ever new.

Treatment q window plants.


l find so many ladies have attempt
cd to bloom plants 10 rooms in winter
and failed, that if you will permit me
! will give few hints to those in
terested. First, then, the greatest
cause of failure is trying to grow
them in too warm a room next keep
ing them in too large pots and over
feeding them Ladies having no
green houses should only grow those
plants most hardy-such as Gerani>
ums, Roses, Feverlew, sweet Alys-
sum, Mignonette and the blue Brow
aIia, all beautiful and bright and con-
slant boomers.
| take my Geraniums up in Sep
TENDER am careful to not brea the
roots shake all the soil off, cut them
down to within six inches Of the root,
pot them in as small a pot as the
roots will alllow-say three or four
inch pots. My soil is turf mold, sand
and little well decayed manure
Feverfews do not need cutting, ex-
cept to take out the old flower stalk.
Sweet Alyssum, if it has been grow
ing all summer, must be cut back
Leave them out doors as long as the
weather will admit, then place them
in q cool room, Ii you have an old
table you do not care for, nail four
inch board around it to form a sink,
and fill it with sand to set your pots
in; it will keep the roots from dying,
save watering them, and keep the
water from dripping on the floor
when you water them.

How TO PRESERVE flowers
Take a deep plate, into which pour
quantity of clear water, set y vase of
flowers upon the plate, and over the
vase set bell-glass with its rim in
the water. The air that surrounds
the flowers being confined beneath
the bell.glass, Is constantly moist
with water that rises into it in the
form of vapor. As fast as the water
becomes condensed it runs down the
side of the bell-glass into the dish ;
aud if means be taken TO enclose the
water on the outside of the bell-glass,
so as to prevent its cooperating into
the air of the sitting-room, the at
mcsphere around the flowers is con-
tinually damp. The plan is designa-
ted the "Hopean apparatus" The
experiment may be tried on small
scale by inverting tumbler over q
rosebud in q saucer of water.

STEEL MANUFACTURE "A rival TO
the Bessemer process Of making steel
is found, says the Mechanics Magazine,
in Bernard's system, adopted at the
steel works in Givors, France. The
principal features of the system are
stated to be-First: The employ
ment of gas, acting at once as heat
ing and reacting agent in improving
the quality Of the iron by partial
publication, before throwing off such
injurious bodies as sulphur, phosphor-
us, arsenic, etc. Second The abili-
ty to employ iron of a secondary
quality to obtain steel for certain
special purposes, as rails, tires, etc.
Third By the combined action of
air and gas, in being able to act al
ternately by means Of oxidation and
reduction in keeping the waste at II
minimum, and by decarbonizing and
recarbonizing to regulate all at will,
and with certainty the nature Of the
product TO be obtained. The opera
ton requires from an hour to an hour
and half, and the process is SO con
Quoted that the manipulation can be
arrested at any moment, and any de-
sired quality Of steel obtained.
