FOREST AND STREAM. 



HURST'S 



Stereoscopic Studies 



OF 



Natural History 



For Object Teaching in Schools 



AND 



PARLOR ENTERTAINMENT. 



We are prepared to famish the first sixty numbers 

 of the first series of 



To these will be added a second series of foreign speci- 

 mens, and various Animals and Birds in grotesque at- 

 titudes, never however violating their natural instincts. 



We offer these views not as pictures onlv, 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 the stereoscope 

 transfers the animals and birds from their natural 

 habitat to the rooms of the student and ihe fireside of 

 our homes, where they cannot fail to leave a lasting 

 impression of the form, color, habits, and locality of 

 each specimen. 



An. experience of more than twenty-five years as 

 Taxidermist of the New York State Cabinet "of Natu- 

 ral History, and in gathering his large collection of 

 native and foreign specimens, enables Mr. Hurst to 

 comhine in every view the locality of the specimen 

 with its appropriate rocks, woods or water, and color- 

 ing from the originals.

Your Vanity Fair smoking tobacco is the best 1 

 ever used. 



It has a decidedly beneficial effect upon the intel- 

 lectualp ower. Companion in our solitude, amuser m 

 our idleness, and soother in onr troubles. 



Prom P. B. Taylor, U. S. A., in camp. Elhjay, Ga. 



I consider your Vanity Pair of superior quality, its 

 flavor approximating so closely to Havana roll leaf 

 that I can scarcely tell the d)fference in cigarettes. 

 Being a great lover and consumer, and conscious of 

 how much happiness you are conferring upon my 

 brethren of the weed, in your efforts to furnish them 

 a eood article, I desire to express my appreciation and 

 thanks. 



Prom E. A. GREENE,_Richmond. Vt. 



Found your Vanity £air at Monipelier, and think it 

 the best smoking tobacco out. 



There must be some magical properties in it akin to 

 the wonderful Eastern plant that made captive the 

 senses of those who inhaled it.
