FISHING ON THE PICTURESQUE 

 ERIE. 



The Erie Railroad Company has just 

 issued a new, enlarged and thoroughly re- 

 vised edition of its Fishing Book, which 

 will be of much interest to anglers. It 

 contains accurate information of how and 

 where to fish in the best lakes, streams 

 and ponds on all divisions of the Erie, and 

 the New York, Susquehanna and Western 

 Railroads, within a distance of 200 miles 

 from New York. The book is a directory, 

 with concise information as to distances, 

 rates of fare, cost of boats, kinds of fish, 

 and the localities in which the best sport 

 may be found. The active interest taken 

 by the Erie in maintaining a high standard 

 of sport along its line is shown by the 

 great number of lakes and streams which, 

 through its efforts, have been thoroughly 

 stocked by the State and National Fish 

 Commissions in the last few years. The 

 book is handsomely illustrated and can be 

 obtained from Erie ticket agents or by 

 sending 3 cents in stamps to the General 

 Passenger Agent, No. 21 Cortlandt St., 

 New York.

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN. 

 Nothing about a woman's personal ap- 

 pearance is so unsightly, unnatural and 

 embarrassing as a superfluous growth of 

 hair on the face, neck and arms. Nature 

 never intended it to be so, and the woman 

 afflicted is handicapped as long as such a 

 condition exists. A Russian woman, 

 Madame Janowitz, discovered and mar- 

 keted a preparation which is to-day re- 

 nowned throughout Russia and France. 

 American women are now given the op- 

 portunity to avail themselves of this won- 

 derful preparation, known as Russian 

 Depilatory." It will remove all unnatura 

 growths of hair, leaving the skin clear and 

 "oft as that of a babe, and this without 

 the painful effects usually attendant on 

 the applications of other remedies of this 

 nature An interesting booklet of informa- 

 tion on this subject will be sent for the 

 asking. Address Madame Benoit, 489 

 Fifth avenue, New York.
