A RICH MANS FLOWER WINDOW.

The house in Philadelphia where the widow of
Matthew Baldwin now lives is in the center of the
business part of Chestnut street, and is remarked
upon by many of the passers by because of the
peculiar arrangement of conservatory built on
the level with the street. 1t is like good sized
shop window but as there is no door visible it
cannot be taken for one.
1t seems that when Mr. Baldwin was lad, be-
fore he ever dreamed of fame as a manufacturer
of locomotives, he was daily in the habit of passing
on his way to work window filled with flowers.
As he had passionate love for them, he invariably
stopped and gazed upon them with delight for
moment or two. After he became a rich man and
looked back to his boyhood days, when he was
struggling for livelihood and found so much
cheer and comfort from this glimpse of natures
loneliness, he resolved that he would be the means
of giving some other boy chance to look and adj
mire in the same way. He built his house with
special regard to this window of flowers and it is
unique both in conception and construction

The Empress of Germany expresses the senti-
ments of her life in the following extract from an
address to the women of Berlin: sFor number
of years it has been permitted me to labor with
the women of Berlin for the good of the female
SEX and for their education and for the alienation
of their material and social wretchedness. Thanks
to the intelligent and sefsacrifcing aid extended
to me, much has been accomplished, but more re-
mains to be achieved. With sincere devotion and
eager enthusiasm, l place my whole strength at
the service of our people. | confidently expect
from the women of Berlin, as well as the rest of
Germany, after the many evidences that have
reached me, that they will in the future, in the
past, readily work with me in the great task de-
volving on womanknd, namely, to alleviate dis
tress and suffering, create pure happiness, and
lay pure foundation for all truly human virtues

PREVENTING WEEDS.

A writer in one of our exchanges aludes to the
mistake, commonly made, of allowing weeds to
grow rapidly early in the season until they are so
large as to oyershadow the crop. An attempt is
then made to destroy them, the labor of which is
many times greater than it would have been
week sooner, when they were first making their
appearance. The above mentioned writer says
"To destroy weeds easily, cultivation must COM
mence as soon as they get fairly out of the ground
and it must be repeated as soon as new crop
starts up" This management would obviously
be better than to allow them to overtop the crop
before they are touched, but an improvement con-
sists in never allowing the weeds to appear If
the intended crop is in garden bed run steel
rake between the rows week after planting and
before any weeds are seen. This will break the
young sprouts before they reach the surface, mel
low the crust, and promote the growth OF the
crop. Repeat the work once week regularly, or
once In ten days regularly. In this way the
weeds may be kept entirely under. For field cul-
ture the same process may be adopted, employing
the smoothing harrow or the steel tooth cutivator
The crop will be BETTER the land will gradually
become clean, and the expense will be much less
We tried the experiment by the watch on two cir
cular beds of the same size. One was easily kept
clean and mellow by using the steel rake once
week. The weeds in the other were allowed to
grow half foot high and then rooted out and cut
off with the hoe, seriously injuring the crop. An
account was kept of the time consumed by the
use of the rake, and of the slow tresome pulling
of the large weeds and the cutting off by the hoe
Although less frequently performed, the latter re-
quired more than double the whole time of the
former. The cheapest work is that which is done
we'll Writers often speak of "fghtng" weeds.
1t should never be done, but they should be
simply prevented from starting or growing

A SIMPLE CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.

A correspondent of the English Mechanic says
Z" Let all of ours know the following; My wife
has suffered occasionally with acute rheumatism in
her feet, with painful swelling, completely taking
her off her feet for many days at a time. The
following remedy was recommended and tried, and
took away the agonizing pain in less than fifteen
minutes, and she can now walk very fairly and in a
couple of days she will be able to button her boots
and walk without stick or crutch. One quart of
milk, quite hot, into which stir one ounce of alum
this makes curds and whey Battle the part
affected with the whey until too cold. In the
meantime keep the curds hot, and, after bathing
put them on as poultice, wrap in flannel, and
go to sleep (you can). Three applications should
be perfect cure, even in aggravated cases."
