PANSY'S NEW BOOKS.
Among the new books by this favorite author, which Sunday-school
Superintendents and all readers of her previous books will wish to
order, are:--
=One Commonplace Day.= Pansy has brought out in this book a vivid,
lifelike story, full of strong incentives to right thinking and living.
12mo, cloth, $1.50.
=Interrupted.= Has all the charm of this author's style, grown riper
each year. 12mo, extra cloth, $1.50.
=In the Woods and Out.= Admirably suited to the needs of a large class
of young folks. It is composed of the choicest of short tales so
delightful at the twilight hour when the children clamor for "a story."
12mo, cloth, $1.00.
=The Browning Boys.= A fascinating story of the growth of two boys
who set out on their birthday to be helpful at home. By applying the
"golden texts" of the International Sunday-school lessons in their
every-day life, they, without swerving from the strictest sense of
right, are able to send their invalid father to Florida, and were the
means of his restoration to health. 16mo, cloth, 60 cents.
=A Hedge Fence.= A story that will be particularly pleasing to boys,
most of whom will find in its hero a fair representation of themselves.
16mo, 60 cents.
=An Endless Chain.= From the introduction, on the first page, of the
new superintendent of the Packard Place Sabbath-school, to the end,
there is no flagging of interest in this bright, fresh, wholesome
story. Illustrated. 12mo., $1.50.
=Side by Side.= Short illustrated stories from Bible texts for the help
of boys and girls in their every-day duties. 16mo., cloth, 60 cents.
=Christie's Christmas.= No more charming little heroine can be found
than the Christie of this volume, and the story of her journey to
spend Christmas, with the great variety of characters introduced, all
of them original and individual in their way, is perfectly novel and
interesting.
As a guide to teachers, rich in suggestions and directions for methods
of teaching, etc., there is nothing better than =Pansy's Scrap Book=.
12mo., cloth, illustrated, $1.00.
In fact all of Pansy's books have some special charm or attraction
which makes them a power for good wherever read.

TO SUNDAY-SCHOOL TEACHERS:--
_Ladies and Gentlemen_,--Because we know that to you
it is, and should be, largely entrusted to advise
our young people in regard to their reading, because
you are powerful guardians of "literature for the
young," we invite you to examine the periodicals we
publish monthly for children and young folks: =Wide
Awake=, =The Pansy=, =Our Little Men and Women=, and
=Babyland=. We will supply you with specimens of these,
if you will call, or if you will write us. These
magazines are in the watchful and trained care of their
original editors, and the same purity, strength, and
sparkle characterize each number from month to month,
from year to year. The highest order of fiction, the
most inspiring, lifting, and refining poetry, the most
instructive lessons in history and natural science, the
most entertaining records of travel and adventure, the
finest literary and biographical articles, appear in
their pages. _The Congregationalist_ said last week of
WIDE AWAKE, that it "sets its readers to thinking for
themselves along many different lines. It has solved
the problem how to proportion fun and soberness best
in such a publication better than any of its rivals."
_Literary Life_, after saying that "WIDE AWAKE is the
best monthly magazine for young folks published in
the country," goes on to say of it, "Next to watching
Nature herself, it is the finest educational work we
ever have seen for children. A child made happy by such
a work will possess an intelligence and richness of
mind beyond the mere range of school lessons." We do
indeed confidently trust that should you direct your
classes to our magazines, you will find them a good
means of preparation of hearts and minds for your own
important work. You will find the magazines graded
suitably for the use of infant classes, and upwards.
Very truly yours,
D. LOTHROP & CO., _Publishers_.
(_From the N. Y. Tribune._)
Among publishers who have carried into their work serious convictions
as to their duty to the public in the matter of supplying good
literature, and who have resolutely resisted all temptations in
the more lucrative direction of that which is simply sensational,
an honorable place may be claimed for D. Lothrop & Co., who have
accomplished in the United States a work second to that of no
publishing-house.
This work was undertaken by D. Lothrop & Co. years ago. With the firm
conviction that ultimate success would attend their efforts, they have
employed the pens of scores of those who have shared their convictions,
including some of the best-known authors at home and abroad, and have
sent out an ever-increasing stream of pure, attractive, and instructive
literature, which has reached every part of the land, and made their
name famous everywhere.
In a general way the public are familiar with the aims of this house,
and have come to regard its imprint upon a book as a guaranty of
excellent in all essential qualities.

[Illustration: SELF-INKING PRESS.]
The mechanical plan of the SELF-INKING PRESS is the same as with the
hand inker except that inking rollers are added to work by the stroke
of a lever. The advantage of a self inker over a hand inker is mainly
in speed, which is increased because both hands are left free, one to
feed paper and one to work lever.
ALL EXCELSIOR PRESSES use ordinary printers' type, as made in any part
of the world. No EXCELSIOR PRESS is _cheaply_ made, but has _steel_
bearings, _best_ of screws, etc. =All presses print within 1/8 inch of
full size of chase as screws are used to lock up the forms.=
Every Excelsior Press is fully warranted in every respect. With every
press we send out is included full printed instructions on every point,
by which any purchaser can manage type-setting, press-work, etc.,
successfully and satisfactorily.
=The Outfits must be sent by Express at receiver's expense.=

Did it ever occur to you how much cleaner and nicer it is to wash the
Napkins, Towels, Handkerchiefs, Table Linen, etc., by themselves, with
soap not made of putrid fats or questionable grease?
Do it with Ivory Soap (ninety-nine and forty-four-hundreths per cent.
pure.) made of vegetable oil, and use them confident that they are
clean and not tainted.
If your grocer does not keep the Ivory Soap, send six two-cent stamps,
to pay the postage to Procter & Gamble, Cincinnati, and they will send
you free a large cake of Ivory Soap.
