TAMMEN'S ROCKY MOUNTAIN JUVENILE CABINET.
This beautiful and instructive set of minerals will be sent to any subscriber to one of our magazines who will send us one new subscriber to THE PANSY, or OUR LITTLE MEN AND WOMEN, or for two new subscribers to BABYLAND. We will send =three= of the Cabinets to any subscriber who will send us one new subscriber to WIDE AWAKE. _Read the conditions on second page of this list if you are not a subscriber._
Young people are born naturalists. Their first inquiries are in regard to the attractive objects of nature around them; and their future mental activity--or stupidity--depends largely upon the answers they receive. _Parents_ and _teachers_ should, therefore, be able to encourage and satisfy the first cravings of their inquiring minds. To aid in this, and to afford abundant entertainment more pleasing than toys, far cheaper and more instructive than mere amusement, we have secured a large quantity of the Rocky Mountain Cabinets expressly for our special premium use. Each Juvenile Cabinet contains 4 specimens of gold, 3 of silver, 1 zinc, 1 lead, 3 iron, 2 copper ores--each a different variety--1 agate (surface polished), opalized wood, rock crystal, silicified wood, molydenum, Iceland spar, topaz, 2 jaspers, dendrite, tourmaline, opal agate, arragonite, milky quartz, sulphur, selenite, Amazon stone, feldspar, fluorspar, variscite, chalcedony, petrified wood, alabaster, mica, wavellite, etc. The specimens in this cabinet are in a strong pasteboard box, divided into 40 sections (size 8-1/2 by 6-1/2 inches) in which the objects are affixed. A descriptive manual is sent with each cabinet, giving the history, properties and uses of the different minerals and gems. Price 85 cents postpaid.
Address all orders to D. Lothrop & Co., Boston.

BOOK-RACKS FOR EVERY HOME.
These Book-racks are something entirely new; something which everybody needs.
Many people having a taste for reading, are prevented from purchasing book-cases on account of their high cost. Consequently their books will lie around on tables, on the floor or in closets until they become soiled or destroyed. This difficulty in keeping books from being injured can be obviated by obtaining the "Lock Shelf Book-rack," an article both beautiful and useful.
The simplicity of their construction will enable any one to take them apart and put them up again in a moment's time. They are made to hang on the wall from strong screw hooks which are furnished with each rack. (Put hooks close to the uprights.) Can also stand on the floor.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.
Economy, as wise folks say, Is wealth pronounced another way, So while "hard times" the people cry, The Toilet Soaps they should not buy, Let all who buy such Soaps take care To weigh the cake exact and fair, And find the pay in figures round A dollar, more or less, per pound. What course should people then pursue? In short, the only thing to do, Though rich in bonds, or worldly poor, The "IVORY SOAP" they should procure, Which may be bought from coast to coast, At sixteen cents per pound at most, And does more satisfaction grant Than all the Toilet Soaps extant.
A WORD OF WARNING.
There are many white soaps, each represented to be "just as good as the 'Ivory';" they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of the genuine. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it.
