RICHARDSON’S 
NEW METHOD 
FOR THE PIANOFORTE. 
This wonderful book continues to sell im¬ 
mensely, and among others of fine quality may 
fairly be termed the leader, having had 
more years of continued large sales, having 
been repeatedly corrected until it may be said 
to be literally without fault, having been en¬ 
larged and improved where possible, having- 
been for years and years the favorite of emi¬ 
nent teachers who have used it, and having 
been most profitable to the publishers and to 
the widow of the compiler, the copyright 
alone amounting to more than $90,000.00.

Is the only general purpose Wire Fence in use, being a Strong Net-Work without Barbs. It -will turn 
dogs, pigs, sh,:ep and poultry, as well as the most vicious stock, without injury to either fence or stock. It is just 
the fence for farms, gardens, stock ranges and railroads, and very neat for lawns, parks, school lots and ceme¬ 
teries. Covered with rust-proof paint (or galvanized) it will last a life-time. It is Superior to Boards or 
Barbed Wire in every respect. We ask for it a fair trial, knowing it will wear itself into favor. The Sedsrwick 
Gates, made of wrought iron pipe and steel wire, defy all competition in neatness, strength and durability.

careful application of the flue properties of well-selected 
Cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided out breakfast tables with a

diet that a coustltution may he gradually built up until 
strong enough to resist every tendency to disease. Hun¬
