The London home of Jean lngelow is
In kensington. The house is built of
light colored brick and is surrounded by
pretty garden, in which flowers are kept
blooming even in the winter. Inside the
house there are more flowers in pots and
in vases. Miss lngelow is so fond of
flowers that she writes oftener in her con-
servatory than anywhere else. All her
writing is done before gaslght, or rather
before night, for London fogs render
gsslight often necessary at very early
hours in the day sr York Telegram.

 Read the Best

Weekly Newspaper and Family Jour.
 nal in the Country.
 THE WEEKLY EDITION OF THE SPRINGFIELD (MAss.) REPUBLICAN, which was established in 1924 by Samuel Bowles, has recently been enlarged to 12 pages or 84 columns. The price remains at $1 per year, or 10 cents a month for shorter periods.
 This generous enlargement, adding 28 columns to the capacity of the paper, allows the introduction of many new and attractive features.
 r The news of Western Massachusetts and New England in particular, and of the world in general, is now presented in more thor ough manner than ever before. The news matter is not thrown together in promiscu- ous fashion, but is carefully edited and intelli- gently arranged.
 The valuable literary department, for which the paper has always been famous, is made richer and more comprehensive.
 A sermon or other serious paper Is printed every week, selections being made from the leading preachers of the various religious bodies, and often from the local pulpits of Western Massachusetts. The religious news and discussion of the day is also carefully reviewed.
 A ouCoI ttuu WuOl0SOuo original story, and also an attractive depart ment for young people, are regular features. Each number contains a good variety of original or selected poetry. The special interests of women in the way of education, work, household affairs, dress, etc., receive liberal attention every week.
 Interesting letters from regular and occa- sional correspondents are more fully given than has heretofore been possible. The news of the theaters and of outdoor sports is pre- sented when interest and importance justify. Agricultural news and hints for the far mers are carefully gathered and occupy more space than formerly.
 The peoples interests in all political, social and industrial affairs are steadily studied and advocated from the standpoint of indepen- dence and a patriotism that is higher and broader than partisanship.
 In a word, the publishers seek to make The Weekly Republican more than eyer the best weekly newspaper and family journal combined in the country.
 To all residents of New England who do not take daily paper, or who desire to supplement their daily reading by another presentation of the worlds current history, accom- panied by choice class of general reading, the paper now confidently commends itself anew.
 Former dwellers in New England and others elsewhere who wish to keep informed of the life and thought of this region will also find the enlarged paper invaluable.
 Send for free sample copy.
 All subscriptions payable in advance. will receive the paper until January I, 1891.
