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. A
descriptive manual is sent with each cabinet. Price 85 cents postpaid.

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
A SEMI-MONTHLY FAMILY JOURNAL
CONDUCTED IN THE INTERESTS OF THE
Higher Life of the Household.
=READ WHAT THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE SAYS ABOUT GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.=
One of the most admirable family journals ever published is that
which is brought out in Holyoke, Mass. and New York under the title
of GOOD HOUSEKEEPING, by Clark W. Bryan & Co. It is a practical and
interesting instructor in all pleasant, refined and healthful modes of
living. It is full of good sense, and its lessons, whether in manners,
morals, food, needlework and household management, are generally the
best of their kind. The number of May 15 opens GOOD HOUSEKEEPING’S
second year—a year which it is to be hoped will add to its already
established prosperity.—_New York Daily Tribune, May 11th, 1886._
=READ WHAT THE GOSPEL BANNER (Augusta, Me.) SAYS ABOUT GOOD
HOUSEKEEPING.=
GOOD HOUSEKEEPING is a fortnightly magazine conducted in the interest
of every department of household management. It has rapidly advanced
in public favor in its first year, which is due to the excellent
articles from its special contributors and the superior mechanical
work represented in its successive numbers. All the details of
housekeeping from cellar to attic, kitchen to parlor, cookery to
adornments, are attended to in the course of the yearly issues, while
good contributions on purely literary topics are not lacking. Holyoke,
Mass., and N. Y.: Clark W. Bryan & Co. $2.50 a year; $1.50 for six
months; $1.00 for four months; 10 cents single copy.
======
During the first year of its publication GOOD HOUSEKEEPING has won for
itself an enviable reputation in the Homes of the World. Its pages
have been industriously and faithfully devoted to the improvement and
development of the nobler and more desirable features of Home Life.
It is original in design, comprehensive in management and strong in
individuality of character and conduct. Its discussions have been
practical and had with a view of being elevating, instructive and
useful in the highest degree to every one having an ambition or desire
to make the Home attractive and those who dwell there to feel that
“there’s no place like home.”
It has won the commendations of the press, not only in its own country,
but in many others where the English language is spoken, such as has
never been accorded to a family publication of such tender years.
It numbers among its list of contributors many of the ablest and most
noted writers of the day, on family topics, and these are supplemented
by contributions from the pens of many practical and successful
housekeepers measurably unknown to fame but none the less valuable
workers in the field of Home Literature.
Among these may be mentioned Catherine Owen, Rose Terry Cooke, Marion
Harland, Maria Parloa, Hester M. Poole, Christine Terhune Herrick,
H. Annette Poole, Margaret Sidney, Mrs. D. H. R. Goodale, Dora Reade
Goodale, Helen Campbell, Mrs. H. M. Plunkett, Helen Chase, Mary E.
Dewey, Lucretia P. Hale, Margaret Eytinge, Anna L. Dawes, E. C.
Gardner, William Paul Gerhard, Dr. F. M. Hexamer, Milton Bradley, etc.,
etc.
GOOD HOUSEKEEPING is published semi-monthly at $2.50 a year, and is
sold on the news stands of the country, also by newsboys on trains and
boats, at 10 cents a copy.

To preserve the richness of color or delicacy of tint of your summer
dresses, make suds of hot water and IVORY SOAP, allow to cool until
lukewarm, then wash your dresses in the solution. Ordinary soaps
contain too much alkali, which in a short time bleaches the color and
destroys its beauty. Prof. Silliman, of Yale College, “The IVORY SOAP
can not injure the most delicate fabric.”
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.=
