PEABODY'S WEBSTEE'S DICTI0NAS7. 25,000 words and 

 phrases, and illustrated with 2&0 engravings; cloth 

 bound. This is the one we have been selling for 

 years at 15 cents. We thought we had done some- 

 thing wonderful when we offered so large a diction- 

 ary for 15 cents, but we are now able to sell them 

 for a dime. Just think of It! Postage e.\tra, 5 

 cents. 



ONE-StLLABLE PEIMEE ; 6x8; 48 pages, full of pic- 

 tures; something that will always be wanted as long 

 as there are i-hiUlreii in our homes. Postage 3 cts. 



PO0LTE7 FOE PLEASUEE AND PEOFIT ; 48 pages, and 30 

 illustrations. A complete little book of instruc- 

 tions. It treats of the best varieties for pleasure 

 and profit; how to house and yard; how to manage; 

 how to feed; diseases, incubation, etc. It is a 25- 

 cent book; but liy getting 1000 of them we can sell 

 them for 10 cents. Postage 1 cent. 



THE HOESE AND HIS DISEASES, by Dr. B. J. Kendall; 

 100 pages, and many illustrations. Over .500,000 of 

 these books have been sold, because they are so 

 popular and complete, for a small hand-book. It 

 gives the symptoms of most diseases, and treat- 

 ment for the same. This is another 3.5-cent book 

 that we got down to a dime by taking 1000 of them. 

 Postage 3 cents. 



SILE AND THE SILEWOEM. This is a complete work 

 of instruction on silk culture, by Nellie Lincoln 

 Rossiter, a practical silk culturist; 33 pages. Silk 



culture is the favorite pursuit of many ladies in our 

 land; and all who are interested will find this little 

 work very instructive. The price printed on it is 

 25 cents, but we sell them for 10 cents. Postage 1 

 cent. 



HEW TESTAMENT, NEW VEESION ; 434 pages, printed 

 in nonpareil type. This should be in the possession 

 of every student of the New Testament. Even if it 

 does not come into common use, it is helpful to 

 know what changes in translation the New Version 

 gives. Postage 5 cents. 



JOHN PLOUGHMAN'S TALES AND PIOTUEES, by Charles 

 Spurgeon; 138 pages, and a picture on almost every 

 page. John Plowman talks plainly, and makes a 

 good point in every talk. It is by no means dry 

 reading, either. Postage 3 cents.

MISCELLANEOUS ARTICLES. 

 CARPET-SWEEPERS AT TWO -THIRDS REGULAR PRICES. 



Ladies' Friend, Price $[.50. 



These are two of the most reliable sweepers 

 made, and our readers know that we have been 

 selling them for the past two years (nearly) for 

 «3.00 and *3()0. We have decided to cut the price 

 down to the above to those who take Gleanings. 

 The Ladies' Friend has two drive-wheels, while the 

 Goshen has four. The latter therefore runs much 

 easier. -Mrs. Root has used a Ladies' Friend for 5 

 years, and does not want any other kind. The 

 Goshen, you notice, has a rubber band around it to 

 prevent it from marring the furniture, should you 



Coshen Sweeper, $2.00. 



run against it. No housewife who has carpets (and 

 who has not?) should be without one of these 

 sweepers, especially when they cost so little. You 

 have no idea how much it lightens the labor of 

 sweeping, to say nothing of the saving to your car- 

 pets. I don't know of a woman who has once got 

 used to a good sweeper who would be without one 

 for almost any price. The Ladies' Friend will be 

 given for 6 subscribers, with $6.00, and the Goshen 

 for 8 subscribers, with $8.00. They must be sent by 

 express or by freight with other goods.
