Collectors and Taxidermists! 

 ATTENTION! 



This is the season of the year when it is a pleasure to mount birds 

 This is the time to learn to preserve birds for ornament. 



If you are a thorough, practical Taxidermist, you do not need my 

 method of mounting. But there are thousands of boys and girls as well 

 as men and women, who are anxious to preserve objects of Natural His- 

 tory, yet who cannot afford 10 pay out $10.00 to $50.00 for a taxidermy 

 and instruction, with the great uncertainty attending the success of the 

 venture. 



There are thousands in this country who do not care to take up taxi- 

 dermy as a profession, yet who are inclined to try their hands at the 

 agreeable work of mounting birds. 

 To these willing ones, we would recommend the process of 



EMBALMING 



as a method easy to acquire and most satisfactory in its results. This process, with full In- 

 structions, and one pound of the prepared compound, ready for use— enough for 30 to 40 small 

 birds will be sent on receipt of the price. 



Absolutely no tools required, excepting knife and file. Any child can learn it in a single at- 

 tempt. Less than one-third of the time required by skinning. 



Price, 75 cents, cash or postage stamps.

Recent Additions to Stock. 



QUARTZ. — Dr. Foote recently purchased 

 at Hot Springs, the great Lawrence collec- 

 tion of Quartzes, which attracted so much 

 attention from visitors at the Centennial, 

 where it was exhibited in the Arkansas 

 building. This, together with a recent 

 find in the Crystal Mts., has brought to us 

 some of the finest specimens ever seen. 

 Besides the clear crystals of the regular 

 type, both in clusters and detached crys- 

 tals, there are many rare and curious Modi- 

 fientions. Inclusions, Penetrations, Flattened, 

 Distorted and Bent forms. Inclusions of 

 PyrophyHte. Chlorite. Manganese, and Albite 

 arranged along the lines of Quartz crystal- 

 lization, forming the most beautiful "phan- 

 toms." Crystals containing moving bubbles, 

 etc., etc. By a personal visit to Magnet 

 Cove (Ark.) were secured fine Rutile Ros- 

 ettes, Brookile in brilliant crystals, Vesuv- 

 ianite. Dysanalyfe in gangue, Lodestone, 

 iMonficellite, Leucite (a new coccurrence) , etc. 



FROM THE "COPPER QUEEN" mine in Arizona, we have 

 just obtained the most beautiful, gem-like crystals of AZURITE, which 

 with tufts of velvet MALACHITE are scattered over stalactites of Wad 

 and Limonite. The crystals exhibit a new habit and their arrangement 

 over the Limonite surface is most novel and striking. 



Also. Cuprites in large octahedrons: delicate blue Chrysocolla; Stalac- 

 tites with an exquisite tinting of pale sea-green color. 



Most of the above can be furnished in cabinet specimens at 25 cents and 

 upwards, the price being determined by quality and rarity.
