SEED-TIME AH® HARVEST, 
OtnLVia's Popular Reading No. 14, is at hand 
and like all previous issues is about the ehe ipest 
reading we ever saw, there being six complete 
storms, with a handsome colored frontispiece, en¬ 
closed in a handsome lithograph cover all for the 
small sum of 30 cents. The stories are by first 
class writers of fiction and not cheap “dime novels” 
by a ay means arid those who deal with the firm get 
as much or more reading for the money as can be 
obtained at any other place in the United States.

The Popular Science News, formerly 7 published 
as the Boston Journal of Chemistry has been favor¬ 
ably known for nearly twenty years in every State 
in the Union. The design of this most successful and 
usetul journal has been to furnish, in compact form 
and at a low price, all the new facts in science, 
mechanics, art, invention, agriculture and medicine, 
which is so important should be widely disseminated 
among all leading people. 
Ur J. R. Nichols, the senior Editor, will continue 
to furnish his useful and interesting article every 
month. Few scientists have been so widely known, 
and for more than a quarter of a century the writ 
ings of this eminent chemist have been read in all 
parts of the country. The associate editors are gem 
tlemen of well known ability- and experience, and of 
thorough scientific education. 19 Pearl Sc., Boston. 
“Stories for Home Folks, Young and Old,” is 
the a tractive title of a pretty volume by this famous 
author, just publshed. It starts out with “A True 
Story of President Lincoln,” which with other war 
reminiscences that follow will waken a patriotic 
glow in the hearts of readers both old and young; 
there are stories of travel in this and other lands,' 
stories of famous people, of “My First Love-Letter,” 
Almost a Ghost Story”—in all twenty-nine stories, 
which being written by Grace Greenwood, who is 
so well known as one of the most graceful and cap 
tivating writers, will find joyful listeners everywhere. 
The volume is equivalent in size an l appearance to 
the authors other works heretofore sold at $1.25, but 
being published by the “Literary Revolution” John 
B, Alden, 395 Pearl Street, New York, it is sold for 
60 cents. Mr. Alden sends a 100-page catalogue, 
descriptive of his immense list of standard and pop’ 
ular works, free to any applicant. 
“The Novelist” is the characteristic title of a new 
papei; just started in New York, by John B. Alden, 
the “Literary Revolutionist.’* The price, also, is 
characteristic,—only $1.00 a year. It is not intended 
to enter into competition with the high priced, but 
low-character, story papers which darken the coun 
try like a pestilence, but will be devoted almost 
entirely to high-class fiction, such as finds place and 
welcome in the best magazines of the day and the 
purest homes of the land; making the paper an unri¬ 
valed (as to cost, certainly,(source of mental recrea¬ 
tion for the weary, and of entertainment for all. 
During the year there are promised serial stories by 
William Black, B. L. Farjeon, and others—certainly 
a good variety, as well as good quantity for the 
dollar. It is printed in large type, and is a hand¬ 
some paper. For ree specimen copies address the 
publisher, John B. Alden. 393 Pearl street, New York- 
The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses. From 
Mr. J. G. Siauffer, Palmyra, Pa., we have received a 
finely bound little volume with the above quaint, 
title. This peculiar book contains much curious in¬ 
formation of the superstitions of the east as taught 
bj the wise ones of the dark ages: forms of incanta¬ 
tions used in olden times for the warding off of 
disease; remedies used; copies of amulets and 
charms, and much other matter of great interest to 
those who are curious in such things. We have not 
had time to read it through but from the short exam¬ 
ination given we judge it to be a work of value to those 
w r ho delight in the curiosities of antique literature. 
Mi. Stauffer s advertisement has appeared for some 
time in our columns and we find him a prompt and 
reliable man to deal w r ith.
