BOOK-NOTES. 



— Every year Hood's Household Calendar 

 takes a step forward, as its ingenious publish- 

 ers strike some new thought in style and ar- 

 rangement. For 1888 Hood's Calendar has 

 the ' cut-out ' head of a young girl surrounded 

 by a blue hood, making a very beautiful and 

 attractive picture. The coloring is wonder- 

 fully well done, and the pad, also printed in 

 colors with a special design for every month, 

 helps make up a very artistic calendar. 

 Three millions of these calendars are issued, 

 and all our readers should have one. Ask 

 your druggist, or send six cents in stamps to 

 C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass. 



— Messrs. W. S. Kimball & Co.'s (Roches- 

 ter, N.Y.) straight-cut cigarettes are manu- 

 factured from the finest, most costly, and 

 brilliantly colored natural leaf, and warranted 



absolutely pure, and by comparison will be 

 found unequalled. A selected force of the 

 highest skilled workmen only, are employed 

 in their manufacture. Each cigarette bears 

 their imprint and brand, in watermark, thus : 

 ' W. S. Kimball & Co., Straight Cut.' 



— Alice W. Rollins will contribute a paper 

 to the January American Magazine, on man- 

 ual training in schools.
