Introductory.

During the past ten years, in which
we have conducted the agricultural de-
partment of this paper, we have been
many times solicited to add " Wo-
mans Department to it, to which the
female readers of the paper might
contribute, exchanging ideas on home
topics, flower and window gardening,
sanitary matters, and the like. In the
multitude of our other tasks, we have
hardly seen our way to the satisfactory
accomplishment of such duty. But
now, by the generous enterprise of the
publisher, we are placed in position
in which we can secure some of the
necessary aid from others, and we feel
encouraged to make the attempt
though we know it will require more
skill to make this one column what it
should be, than to conduct the other
three. We therefore hope to find that
those among our readers who are more
particularly concerned will lend hand,
and contribute from their stores of ex-
perience such matters as will render
the undertaking successful one. The
Freeman had such a column, in con-
nection with its agricultural depart
ment, and we should be glad to well
come, from the section of our readers
who were formerly readers of that
paper, renewed assistance to this.

HOUSEHOLD HINTs.-All the little
domestic acts that go toward making
the home pleasant and cheerful, merit
recognition in a column like this. No
matter how seemingly trivial, they all
have interest and value. What you

please send it along for the good and
pleasure of all the other homeopathic

pose to distribute among those of our
readers who contribute most freely and
acceptably to this column number of
little premiums, or presents, in the
form of flower and garden seeds, flower
ing and small fruit plants, and young
fruit trees. More particulars will be
given when we have had little time to

APPLE MERINGUE.-Stew some fine
tart apples soft (after they have been
peeled and cored), and beat them up
with the yolks of three or four eggs, a
little salt, some nutmeg, sugar and
lemon (grated). Add a tablespoonful
of cream. Fill tart dishes, and bake a
light brown. Beat the whites of the
eggs to a froth, with powdered sugar,
and the juice of the grated lemon, and
put on the top, returning them to the
oven to lightly brown.

THE BERMUDA EASTER LILY.-This
is merely strain of the magnificent
Lilium Longiforum, but the American
Garden says " it is far superior to the
common kind. 1t not only can be forced
earlier into bloom, so that flowers may
be obtained by Christmas, but under
proper treatment it produces a greater
number of flowers, and of larger size.
Such superb specimens of Bermuda
Easter Lilies as may be seen at almost
any winter meeting of the New York
Horticultural Society have certainly
never been shown of the common l..
L0ngifOrun."

THE BLEEDING HEART.-The first
time we ever saw the Dicentrn Spectd-
bills, or Bleeding Heart" was in
pots, and the florist charged us dollar
for small specimen in bloom. 1t is
now found in every garden, but COM
mon as it is there is no prettier and
more graceful plant than this for house
culture. A root taken from the garden
in the fall, and potted in rich earth,
will give free bloom in winter. One
great merit of this plant is its hardness,
it not being injured by considerable
degree of frost, such as will destroy
most window plants.

adherence Of crime in the abstract, he
affirmed that the robbery Of q safe was a

Several months ago she became almost totally
blind and deaf, and could not taste anything eX
cept salt Her bones became the seat of intense
pain, her joints were swollen and painful, and
eventually her whole body and limbs, became
covered with splotches and small sores. Her
appetite failed, and she gradually lost flesh
and strength, and had but little use OF herself,
as her limbs and muscles were paralyzed. She,
as well asher friends and those with whom she
lived, despaired fher recovery. Hersufferings
combined with loss of bearing and taste, and
blindness, were truly heartrending.
All treatment from physicians and the use o
medicines seemed powerless. Her dis ase was
blood poison and rheumatism.
AS she now seemed well ard hearty the re-
porter asked what wrought such wonderful
change.

she replied, "and before one bottle Lad been

Like Gen Grant, the first Napoleon died
of cancer In his case the cancer was in
the stomach instead of the throat. 1t caus
ed him much severer pain than Grant sui
fered. Toward the last he could not digest
his food. He was tormented by constant
thirst. His pulse beat with feverlsh
quickness. He improved, grew worse, and
with all the hope, depression and despair
that marked Grants illness. Unlike the
American soldier, he did not retain his
mental faculties 10 the last. The circum.
stances were different Napoleon was a
vanquished man, a prisoner, deserted by
his wife, and surrounded only by the mem
bers of his military family. His last words
referred to his son and the army. Grant
not only suffered less, but his last hours
were frightened by a thousand loving words
and tributes from wife and children, old
army comrades, his former foes, and the
most distinguished men of the world.

The New York Evening Post offers its
semi-weekly edition to new readers for the
last three months of this year for 25 cents.
Its make up includes, besides the news of
the half.week, the leading editorials of the
daily edition, foreign and domestic cores
pondence, personal, political and religious
notes, book reviews, musical and dramatic
criticism, farm, household, and fashion
hints, selections from the best current for
eign literature, etc. Owing to It's thor
oughly Independent attitude upon all po-
itcal questions, the views OF the EceHiRg
Post are more eagerly sought and more
widely copied than those of almost any
other newspaper in the country. This was
the case in the last presidential campaign,
when, for reasons which it gave in advance
of the nomination, it found itself unable to
support the Republican candidate. This
has been the case also since the election,
for the paper has again demonstrated its
Independence by promptly denouncing all
departures of the new Administration from
the reform pledges upon which it was in
trusted with power.
