''Right ahead of us," resumed the travel- 

 ler who was narrating his experience, 

 "yawned the mountain pass" 



"Do you know," artlessly interrupted one 

 of the younger women in the company, 

 "that seems very queer to me? How can 

 a mountain yawn?" 



"Did you never see Cumberland Gap, 

 miss?" he asked. 



And there were no more interruptions. 



"By what right," thundered the commit- 

 tee of Congress, "do you presume to make 

 money?" 



"Our charter," replied the Standard Oil 

 Company, "permits us to make all kinds 

 of lubricants, and money is the lubricant 

 commonly used for political machines." 



The committee was profoundly im- 

 pressed by this subtlety. — Puck.

DESCRIPTIVE 

 BOOKLET ON 



HUMIDITY. 



The Polymeter is an instrument to 

 measure the percentage of relative 

 and absolute Humidity. 



Invaluable in testing the air we 

 breathe, whether too dry or too moist. 



Indispensable in forecasting rain, 

 storms, frost or clear weather. 



21 UNION SQUARE, NEW YORK CITY. 



A RARE BARGAIN. 



If you have not yet ordered a set of the 

 Hudson pictures, illustrating the poem 

 "To My Gun," you should do so at once. 

 Only a few sets were printed, and about 

 half of them have already been sold. No 

 more will be printed, as the plates were 

 too much worn in running the November 

 edition of Recreation to make any more 

 good impressions. Only $1 for the 5 full 

 page artist's proofs. Nothing finer could 

 be found at the price, for decorating an 

 office, a dining-room, a parlor or a den.
