nal gives warning that the potato beetle 
must bo handled callously by persons hav¬ 
ing cuts or bruises through which poison 
may be disseminated, and utters an especial 
caution to avoid the inhalation of volatile 
odors arising from scalding, burning or 
crushing considerable numbers at a time. 
This work should not, therefore, be com¬

HURST’S 
Stereoscopic Studies 
OF 
Natural History 
FOR OBJECT TEACHING IN SCHOOLS 
And 
PARLOR ENTERTAIN N ENT. 
We are prepared to furnish the first sixty nnmbcrs of 
the first series of 
Animals and Birds of North America. 
To these will be added a sfecond series of foreign 
specimens, and various animalB and birds in grotesque 
[attitudes, never, however, violating their natural in¬ 
stincts. 
We offer these views, not as pictures only, but as 
•Studies from nature. One of the great moving ele¬ 
ments in our modern system of education Is object 
teaching. The unerring fidelity of ibo stereoscope 
transfers the animals and birds from their natural 
habitat to the rooms of the student and the fireside 
of our homes, where they cannot fail to have a last 
ing impression of the form, color, habits, and local¬ 
ity of each specimen. 
An experience of more than twenty-five years as 
Taxidermist of the New York State Cabinet of Nat¬ 
ural History, and in gathering his largo collection of 
native and foreign specimens, enables Mr. Hurst to 
combine in every view the locality of the specimen, 
with its appropriate rocks, woods, or water, and col¬ 
oring from the originals.

Peerless Tobacco Works, Rochester, IV. Y. 
From Seth Green, Supt. IV. Y. State Fi«herie«. 
I find Yaulty Fair to be the best article of tobacco 
adapLed to the wants of the sportsman. Have used 
vonr tobaccos for many yen.e, and know them all to 
be first class. 
For Sportsmen. 
A trusty friend, in weariness or tronble; a solid re¬ 
source in Winter androogh weather, is a sweet pipe 
with Vanity Frir. Best dealers have it. 
From A. B. Lnniberton, Rochenter. 
Having smoked yoar tobacco. Vanity Fair, by the 
camp fire and by the hearth, I believe it in point of 
fragrance and taste superior to all brands known to 
me. Being In search of a tobacco that would not fire 
the tongue and mouth, I was made acquainted with 
your Vanity Fair, and found it to be the ne plus ultra 
of natural leaf. 
For Cigarettes. 
A cigarette is an interlude to the serious habit; a 
graceful make-believe for spare hours. For cigar¬ 
ettes Vanity Fair has no equal. Best dealers have it. 
From Forest and Stream, N Y. 
Wc have received rrom Messrs. Kimball & Co., of 
Rochester, some choice specimens of their celebrated 
Vanity Fair tobacco in neat metal cases holding a 
pound each; and, after most ttorongh trial, do not 
hesitate to concede to it all the good qualities which 
its manufacturers claim for it. It is a most superior 
article, and a great comfort to discriminating 
smokers.

BO¥-MOING ROWING- GEAR. 
A- REVOLUTION 
BOATING 
This rowing gear is an invention which allows the rower to face forward instead of backward, pulling Iu 
the same manner as with the ordinary oars. The oarsman faces the direction in which he goes.and rows faster 
and more easily than with any other oar. The stroke is longer than with ordinary oars. The oars can be closed 
un out of the way without detaching ihem from the gunwale. The boatman makes no more effort in steering 
than in directing his course while walking These oars can be attached to and detached from the boat very 
quickly, and they can be closed up in a convenient form for carrying. Can be attached to any boat, and is es¬ 
pecially adapted'to hunting, fishing, and all kinds of pleasure boating. Address, during Centennial, “Hunter’s
