answers to the same, well worth striving for; but 
we have thought it best not to have prizes for special 
puzzles. We did, at one time, consider it would be 
quite a “feature,” and tried it, yet the offer seemed 
misunderstood, or we could not express it clearly 
enough, and it caused some “trouble in the camp;” 
so we have tabooed them in this department.— 
J. F. AT8 Transpositions will be given in the next 
number; many appear to be words that are not in 
general use; consequently, they will give some of 
the solvers a little more hard study. We call them 
▼ery good.— Maude's holiday gems are to appear in 
the two following issues. They cannot help being 
appreciated by our numerous readers —Ruthven 
might send something for the December number; 
something applicable to the holiday season. A good 
Numerical would find great favor.— U. Bet: We 
thinkfthe Charade can be altered. The diamonds are 
neatly constructed; but his answers to the July gar- 
nerings did not reach us until the lists for that 
month were closed. Please notice dates when lists 
close and send so solutions will reach us on or before 
that time.— D. S Kind words are appreciated. 
Glad you are pleased with the articles in question. 
We had to condense matter to run the series in 
twelve numbers, so they 'will close in the December 
issue. Undine: We do not find your name among 
the August solvers. Are you not pleased to have 
Byrnehc with us once more? More puzzles will find 
a welcome. - F. S. F. 
morrow. We too often forget to extract 
the sweetness from the present in our wild 
anticipation of some coming event. 
We are all prone to dream some—often 
too much. It is well to look forward to a 
bright future, but we should not allow our¬ 
selves too much time in idle, baseless 
dreams. The present is the time for action, 
not dreaming; it is the time to sow the seeds, 
the fruits of which we may hope to reap 
in the future. Time is uselessly spent 
when we let it pass away in dreaming of 
some time garnering a golden harvest from 
a field in which we have never sown a single 
seed. 
If we would have our dreams become 
living realities we must endeavor to make 
them real. We must plant the seeds to-day, 
the harvest of which will make the here¬ 
after the golden land for which we long. 
We must not allow the idea to enter our 
minds that we can pass away the present 
in pleasant dreaming, and awake on the 
morrow to find our dreams realized .—From 
Belles-Lettres. 
Day-Dreams. 
Clad in all the glittering garments with 
which the imagination of youth ever clothes 
it, the future is indeed a land of promise. 
The eager eye of youth peers through the 
misty dimness and dark uncertainty of 
time yet unborn and finds therein revealed 
a land of exquisite beauty, into whose bor¬ 
ders the voice of hope tells him he is des¬ 
tined some day to roam. 
No real landscape presents to the eye of 
youth a scene of loveliness half so grand as 
that which fancy paints for his delight. 
Imagination wanders at random through 
the picturesque and fairy-like land of the 
future, and the happy youth forgets for a 
time that existence is real, and dreams his 
soul away to an elysian garden, where it 
may bask forever in the sunshine of uncloud¬ 
ed happiness. 
The present, be it never so gladsome, is 
not clad in such lovely robes as those with 
which fancy bedecks the future. The beau¬ 
ty of to-day is lost in obscurity whenever 
placed in comparison with the imagined 
loveliness of some eagerly looked for to- 
uSLdLvertiseineiits.
