CHRISTMAS. 



A few hints as to some acceptable presents selected from the largest stock 

 of minerals in the world. They are for young peoph — or old either — for no 

 one entirely lacks interest in nature's works. 



A pretty collection will be sure to awaken a love of nature-study, and to 

 one already the possessor of a collection, a few beautiful specimens will be a 

 welcome addition. In our systematic collections, the specimens are typical 

 and well selected ; many are quite showy and attractive. The two larger 

 sizes are labeled with complete printed label, and numbered to correspond 

 to list ; the fragments are numbered only. In the polished Oak Compartment 

 Cabinets, they present an especially neat appearance. Lists sent free.
