There are handy drawers for sugars and tea, and at the bottom a large place for bread. A clock is fixed into the top of the cabinet, and completes the very useful little case.

Part 1. issued as supplement to GREAT ROUND WORLD NO. 20. * * * * * =Author's Preface.= The stories published in this little volume have been issued from time to time in the Philadelphia _Times_, and it is at the request of many readers that they now greet the world in more enduring form. They have been written as occasion suggested, during several years; and they commemorate to me many of the friends I have known and loved in the animal world. "Shep" and "Dr. Jim," "Abdallah" and "Brownie," "Little Dryad" and "Peek-a-Boo." I have been fast friends with every one, and have watched them with such loving interest that I knew all their ways and could almost read their thoughts. I send them on to other lovers of dumb animals, hoping that the stories of these friends of mine will carry pleasure to young and old. * * * * * =WILLIAM BEVERLEY HARISON,= =3 & 5 West 18th Street.= * * * * * =KLEMMS'= =RELIEF PRACTICE MAPS.= * * * * * =LIST OF MAPS.= Small size, 9-1/2 x 11 { Plain, 5 cents each. { With Waterproofed surface 10 " " Europe, Asia, Africa; North America, South America, East Central States, New England, Middle Atlantic States, South Atlantic States, Palestine, Australia.

Every scholar who can draw should have a copy of it. Being blank, it can be beautifully colored: waters, blue; mountains, brown; valleys, green; deserts, yellow; cities marked with pin-holes; and the journeys of Paul can be traced upon it."--MRS.
