= Memorial OF Martha Washington

in 1888 the French officers in the
Continental Army presented to Mar
tha Washington a full china dinner
service, which they bad made espe-
cially for her in France. OF this set
there are now two pieces in existence,
a plate and saucer, which were at
Arlington House until the late war,
when they were removed to the
Smithsonian Institute, and thence TO
the Patent Oflico in Washington,
where they now remain, being
thought too valuable to be given 10
any private individual. X. II. Macy
& Co, of Fourteenth ST. and Sixth
avenue, have had made full dinner
set Of 100 pieces, after the designs
of the remaining pieces. This win
not be sold, but will be exhibited dur
ing the Centennial season. The
plates and saueers are fae-similes, and
the other pieces are in the probable
style Of the original set, the only in
novations being medallion photographs
Of George and Martha Washington
on the sides of the fruit baskets
The original plate has painted around
the margin a chain Of Gfteen large
links in green, joined by
fifteen small links ef gold. Within
each large link is the name Of one of
the States then in the Union. la
the centre of the plate is the mono

green border, from which radia'es a
star of golden rays, its po nts reach |

the star, beneath the monogram, IS

Virgil, "DeeUs ct tutamen a6 1tto !"

Spring Work

The notes Of preparation for spring
work should be sounding in every
department. Occasional mild days
will allow of some out door work,
aud the tool honse and repairs will
give abundant indoor employment,
Have everything ready, not only the
tools and appliances, bu5 have all
plans made for the opening season.
Catalogues of the seed dealers are
ready, and if the trees or other nur-
sery stuff, seeds, etc, are to be pur-
chased, order early, as the stock OF
some lhibgs is often exhausted later
in the season. II ary correspond
enee is necessary. have it separate
from the order
There is one thing farmers are very
apt to neglect, and that is the Kitch-
en- Garden. Many farmers forget
that good vegetable garden is the
most profitable part Of farm Ma
nure will pay there, aud labor will
produce more comfort, food and graf
ilication, if expended in the garden,
than elseW here. Ia the hburhood
of villages there is always Quick sale
for fresh vegetables, aud by the prep
aration of little more ground aud
a small additional cost for seed and
tiIlage, no inconsiderable income
may be derived from this source
Think Of this while making plans for
March aud April work.

Water Weeds.

A gentleman had a pond from
which be took water for household
use. But weeds grew rankly in it
and destroyed its beauty. He was
ADVISED TO procure q pair of swans
and they would clear the weeds
away. He did Sc, and sure enough
they rooted out the weeds but then
the water grew staguant ana became
impure and unfit for use. He sent
the swans away, and as the weeds
grew and tbrived the water became
pure and usable.

The girls who study at Michigan
University rival the boys in their
learning. Neither good order nor

suffered any harm from the presence
of ladies in its class rooms, while the
physical disasters to the women

demonstrated to be the penal conse-
qneDees of feminine toll at the dry

DON'T BEIN HURRY.

ting to memory and repeating the following be
tiiul poem by some unknown but very sensible
thor:
Come boys, have something to tell you;
come here, would whisper it low;
You're thinking OF leaving the homestead,
Don't be in hurry to go.
The city has many attractions,
But think OF the vice and sins,
When once in the vortex OF fashion,
How soon the course downward begins
They talk Of the mines of Australia.
They're wealthy in treasures no doubt,
But all, there is gold in the farm. boys
II only you'll shovel it out.
The mercantile life is a hazard,
The goods are first high and then low;
Better risk the old farm a while longer
Don't be in hurry 10 go.
The great busy world has inducements,
The rostram, the tripod, the mart,
But wealth was not made in a day, boys;
Don't be In q hurry to start.
The banker and broker are wealthy
They take in their thousands OF So
All! think what they have TO encounter;
Don't be in hurry TO 90.
The farm is the safest and sErest;
The orchards are loaded to-day;
You are iree as the air Of the mountain,
And monarch Of all you survey.
So stay on the farm while longer,
Though profits come in rather slow;
Remember. you've nothing to risk, boys;
Don't be in a hurry to go!

In the same building and in the room
next to Bugh's, Miss Chilcote and Miss

lucrative and growing patronage, they

are, in the full meaning Of the terms,
