Do You Want to Make Money? 



If so, learn to mount Birds, and then form classes and give instructions. 

 Any boy or girl of twelve or more years of age can learn to preserve and mount 

 Birds and Mammals inside of two days of practice, by the aid of my printed In- 

 structions, and can then give practical demonstrations and work before a class 

 of pupils. 



The pupils may be charged from Fifty Cents to several dollars each accord- 

 ing to the number of lessons required. It is better to give at least three lessons 

 or sittings, where the pupils can put up a bird each under the eye of the teacher, 

 but a siugle lesson is often highly satisfactory, for anv man or boy can readily 

 comprehend the principles at once. 



There is a rare chance for energetic young and old people to learn a super- 

 ior yet simple process of mounting, and to take in some money by imparting 

 their knowledge to their acquaintances. Scores of boys and girls are now giving 

 instruction by my process, and making money as well as improving themselves 

 as Superior Taxidermists. One boy has taught sixteen scholars. 



The prices are 75 cents for my complete Intsructions for mounting birds 

 mammals, tishes, game heads and game pieces for the walls, and one pound of 

 Compound. But by purchasing live to twenty pounds at greatly reduced rates, 

 the Process is secured at a low price. There should be one instructor in every 

 town.

CALCITE. In splendid scalenohedrons 

 from one to eighteen inches in diameter, 

 containing "phantoms" of Mar ca site, some 

 of the larger crystals showing tints of am- 

 ethystine and honey-yellow color divided 

 by iines of bright Marcasite crystals. 25c 

 to $10.00. 



ICELAND SPAR Where particularly 

 clear or finely colored material was found, 

 we sacrificed crystallization and obtained 

 from parts of large crystals, what are be- 

 lieved to be the most beautiful rhombs of 

 Iceland Spar ever seen. They show per- 

 fect transparency save for the exquisite 

 coloring of yellow and various amethyst 

 shades, and the bands of brilliant spear- 

 shaped Marcasite crystals. 



The small cleavages at 10c. to 2f>c. are of 

 quite as fine quality as the cabinet speci- 

 mens of higher price and make a novel ad- 

 dition to the collection'of mlcroscopist or 

 amateur. 



DIASPORE CRYSTALS.— All of the resent-find made at Chester, Mass., 

 was secured by us. Clear, violet-colored crystals of high lustre and per- 

 fect crystallization are implanted on the emery, making specimens of a 

 type new to collectors. None have been found but the few taken out some 

 months ago and our collector informs us that there is little chance of their 

 being found again: $2.00 to $15.00. 



Small groups and microscopic specimens. 50c to $1.50.
