FOUR SNOW COVERED MOUNTAINS 



on the Pacific Coast, can be seen from the 

 car windows by the traveler over the North- 

 ern Pacific Railway. They were once vol- 

 canoes — aggregate almost 48,000 feet in 

 height — are> seen for hours at a stretch and 

 in regular succession, not all at the same 

 time. It is an inspiration, an education to 

 every man and woman, every boy and girl 

 to see these magnificent peaks. They are 

 covered with ice and to climb to the summit 

 of one of them is a great feat. The lowest of 

 these mountains is 9,750 feet high, and each 

 mountain is visible for its full height. Their 

 names were given to them 100 years ago, by 

 distinguished men. Every attendant of a 

 public school should know something about 

 these snowy peaks, even if not able to see 

 them. Send 6 cents in postage stamps to 

 Chas. S. Fee, Gen. Pass. Agent, St. Paul, 

 Minn., and he will mail you a book of about 

 100 pages, that describes these mountains 

 and that has illustrations of them. 



The Union Metallic Co., 315 Broadway, 

 N. Y., has issued a digest of the game laws 

 of all the States and territories in the Union, 

 and all the provinces of Canada, a copy of 

 which will be sent free to any person writ- 

 ing for same, and mentioning Recreation. 



This is a remarkable piece of liberality on 

 the part of this company, and will save the 

 sportsmen of the United States and Canada 

 thousands of dollars. Several digests of 

 game laws are published, each year, by in- 

 dividuals, but all have been for sale; and to 

 have a reliable compilation, put up in a 

 neat, convenient form, as this book is, and 

 sent for the asking, is a favor which all 

 sportsmen will appreciate. Do not forget 

 to mention this magazine when you write 

 for the book. 



As many birds as we have, and they have 

 never been more vociferous, we cannot 

 hunt them till January 1st. Turkeys are un- 

 usually plentiful and actually come up with 

 our tame ones. I hear of no deer. Under 

 these circumstances, we are not seeking 

 sportsmen per se, but if you know of any 

 gentleman who would care to bring his 

 family to a healthy old country place, where 

 there is comfort and satisfaction in being 

 alive, I wish you would commend us to 

 them for the months of October and No- 

 vember. We would give them all the enter- 

 tainment to be had and there is certainly 

 much satisfaction to be gotten out of coun- 

 try life during these 2 months. It would 

 cost no more than staying at home and 

 would be possibly more enjoyable. As the 

 house is large we could take quite a colony.

The Ideal Mfg. Co., New Haven, Conn., 

 has gone into the soap busness. Brother 

 Barlow has not, by any means, quit making 

 reloading tools, but has hit a bright idea, 

 which he has simply hitched on to the hun- 

 dreds of others he has evolved, in times 

 past. This new soap in put up in thin sheets, 

 cut into small leaflets, and bound in a book 

 which you can carry in your vest pocket. 

 Each book contains 50 leaves of soap, and 

 each of them will wash a pound of dirt and 

 grease off the hands of* any man. 

 man. 



This soap will be indispensable to sports- 

 men when they find out how good and 

 how convenient it is. For my part I do not 

 intend to be caught out of the house, again, 

 without one of these books in my pocket. 



The American Metal Polish Co., Akron, 

 Ohio, makes a line of polishes for various 

 metals, for china ware, window glass, etc., 

 that are exceedingly useful in every office 

 and in every household. Among the vari- 

 ous brands they make are Tripoli, Crocus, 

 Emery and Rubber Compositions; White 

 Nickel Compositions; Chandelier Stick; 

 Gold, Silver, and Nickel Rouges; Eagle 

 Brand Brass and Copper Polish; Engine 

 Polish; Putz Pomade; Steiner's House- 

 hold Polish, etc. 



All these goods do excellent work, and 

 the polishing material in them is so finely 

 prepared that it does not cut the metal, as 

 many preparations do. Send for circular. 

 Mention Recreation. 



THE ONEITA union undergarments, 

 for men, women and children, undoubtedly 

 fill more of the requirements of perfection 

 in underwear than any other style of under- 

 garment on the market. 



Write Wm. Iselin & Co., 1 Greene St., 

 N. Y., and they will send you a handsome 

 little illustrated booklet, giving the reasons 

 why this underwear has been so wonder- 

 fully successful. It also gives other inter- 

 esting details regarding these goods. Men- 

 tion Recreation. 



Members of the American Canoe Asso- 

 ciation, who have fine photos of any scenes 

 or objects pertaining to that sport, are re- 

 quested to send me copies of them for pub- 

 lication.
