Arranging window Garden Plants

In arranging plants in the window
garden, aim always to have the view
from the room pleasing. They are for
home adornment, and they should
be most attractive from a home
standpoint. A good general rule
to follow for effectiveness in ar
rangement is to have the taller ones
at the sides, This frames the window,
and allows the sun to get at the cen
ter of the group. If all the plants are
sun-loving ones, dispose the low-grow-
ing ones next the glass, with the
taller ones behind them. Do not crowd
any of them. The use of swinging iron
brackets at each side of the window
frame is highly advisable from the
standpoint of utility as well as looks.
Those holding three pots enable one TO
arrange small plants of dropping ma
ture so that the effect is very fine. These
brackets can be swung to or from the
glass, and are preferable to Shelves

! The first public printer was John d.
Defrees, of Indiana, who was appointed
early in 1861 by President Abraham
Lincoln. He held the office until
August 81, 1866, when he was removed
by President Andrew Johnson, and
Cornelius Wendell was appointed, but
lis tenure of Office was very brief. The
congress- was at that time in contro

the winter following the congress
changed the method of appointment
and on March l, 1869, Mr.. Defrees was
restored to office by the senate under
the title of congressional printer.
On April IA, 1869, A. NJ. Clapp, of New

Hayes. During his second term of

Mr.. Benedict again became public
printer, and held that position until
he was succeeded at the beginning of
the Mckinley administration by the
appointment of Frank w. Palmer, who
now holds that position.
The original building erected for the
use of the public printer in 1856 was
purchased by the government in 1860,
including the entire printing plant, for
$146,545, although the original owner,
Mr.. Wendell, claimed that the build
