THE “ BEST” LIGHT. 
Mighty few things are “ best ” nowadays, 
but in the Pittsbnrg lamp we believe we 
have found the “ best ” lamp. It certainly 
is the best lamp we know anything about. 
At first we only half believed the claims of 
the manufacturers. We did not know that 
any kerosene light could be so beautifully 
soft and strong—a powerful light without 
glare and flicker, 
easy and delight¬ 
ful for tired eyes. 
Now we are con¬ 
vinced and hearti¬ 
ly indorse all the 
claims so far test¬ 
ed. The lamp it¬ 
self is a thing of 
beauty. Here is a 
picture of perhaps 
the handsomest of 
the series. They 
are finished in sil¬ 
ver, embossed and 
highly ornament¬ 
al. We would be 
glad to send one 
to every home In the great Rural family, 
and we have arranged to furnish our sub¬ 
scribers with any of these lamps at special 
rates. The silver lamp above figured, com¬ 
plete, with a year’s subscription, for $5.50 ; 
in brass, ditto, at $4 50. Given also for two 
new subscriptions and your renewal (three 
in all) accompanied by $7 total for the sil¬ 
ver; $6 for the brass. Retail prices for 
these lamps are considerably higher. For 
other styles see special circular, which will 
be sent on application. 
Farmers’ Friend Alarm Clock. 
Here Is one of our special bargains, not 
ODly because it is so cheap considering the 
quality, but also because it is an article 
that every house needs. It will help a man 
to awaken at any hour of the morning 
without lying awake half the night worry¬ 
ing about it. The purchaser gets an ac 
curate time keeper in a handsome polished 
nickel case at the same time that he guards 
against oversleeping. This clock will run 
nearly two days with one winding. Every 
clock is guaranteed to be just as repre¬ 
sented. Usual price, $2 50 Our price with 
a year’s subscription, $2 90; or given for 
one new subscription and $2.50. 
A Waterproof Coat. 
All sensible people “ know enough to go 
into the house when it rains;” but some 
of us are unfortunate enough to be unable 
to do so. When duty calls us out into the 
rain there is nothing to do but to go. But 
there Is no sense In getting wet. For the 
benefit of those who 
must face the rain we 
offer an article that 
will keep them dry 
and goodmatured and 
suitable for any work. 
We have selected the 
famous fish brand or 
“Slicker” goods, be¬ 
cause they are the best 
for hard wear, each 
garment being war¬ 
ranted in every re 
sped. You can build 
fences or tear them down, cut wood, go 
fishing, or do any wet weather work in 
these coats. Price of the Slicker, $3 (black 
or yellow); given for two new subscrip¬ 
tions and $4; with a renewal subscription 
for $3.50. The “Pommel Slicker,” for 
horseback riding, $3 50; given for two new 
subscriptions and $4.50.

A 5-YEARS> SUBSCRIFTION FREE. 
Everybody has heard of the famous and 
efficient little Kodak Camera with which 
anybody can quickly learn how to take 
photographs of anything under the sun ; 
landscapes, babies, sweethearts, cousins, 
uncles, animals, flowers, trees, boats and 
birds, etc. We have 
arranged to offer th<

this is. 
Farm, School and Church Bells. 
Everybody knows how useful a good farm 
bell is. It is worth its price to hear it give 
notice of a good meal. In case of fire or of a 
visitation from tramps the neighborhood 
can be easily alarmed by a brisk ringing of 
the bell. We give a bell costing $5 at retail 
for two new subscriptions and $5; or with 
a three years’ subscription for $5 50. It 
weighs 50 pounds, and is 17 inches in 
diameter. 
The No. 24 bell weighs 150 pounds or 225 
pounds with mountings. Price, $25; we 
offer it for 10 subscriptions and $20. 
The No. 26 weighs 220 pounds or 325* 
pounds with mountings. Price, $40; we 
offer it for 15 subscriptions and $33. 
These bells are first class in every respect. 
They are made of an alloy of cast steel and 
crystal metal. They are of fine, clear tone, 
conveying sound from three to four miles. 
Warranted for two years. Fifteen public- 
spirited men in any district or church so¬ 
ciety can form a club for The Rural, and 
thus secure a bell for the church or school- 
house. 
The American Club Skate. 
The chances are favorable for good ice this 
winter, and lots of skating. The American 
Club is well known as one of the best, has 
no heel screws or straps, being quickly 
fastened to the foot by means of clamps 
worked by the catch on a little lever. We 
can furnish any one desired, but make a 
specialty of the nickel plated skate, with 
nickel-plated steel blade, tempered, and 
with the plates and clamp, etc , of crucible 
steel. Price, $2.50. Given with one sub¬ 
scription and $3 25; or for two new sub¬ 
scriptions and $4. 
Pruning Shears. 
Every person who grows fruit wants a 
pair of these shears. You can go to the 
store and pay $1 for a pair or you can get 
your neighbor to take The Rural, and 
thus get a pair for nothing. These shears 
are, like The Rural— “ all right 1 ” Price, 
$1 postpaid. With a renewal subscription 
for $2.25. Given to any present subscriber 
for a new name and $2. 
FRENCH ACHROMATIC TELESCOPE. 
Few things are more interesting or useful in both 
leisure and busy moments in the country than a 
good Telescope, or harder to find. We believe that 
we have in this a thoroughly good Telescope that 
we can offer to our subscribers in confidence that it 
will give satisfaction. When extended it is over 16 
inches, and when closed 6 1-2 inches in length. On 
a clear day you can distinctly see the time on a 
tower clock three miles away. The moons of Jupi¬ 
ter can be seen with it. The Telescope tubes are 
made from heavy polished brass; the body is cov¬ 
ered with morocco, making a thoroughly substan¬ 
tial instrument. It is achromatic ; that is, does 
not blur the vision by a confusion of colors. Retail 
price, $4.50. Price to our subscribers, sent prepaid, 
$3.00. Given to any present subscriber for two new 
subscriptions and $4.00. Or, for $3.50 we will send 
the telescope, and extend your own subscription for 
one year. We test each one before sending it out. 
The user must remember that the tubes should be 
pulled out full length, and the adjustment to the eye 
made only with the section nearest the eye piece, 
moving it out and in as necessary. 
We were disappointed in the results produced by the $1.00 cnmera offered some time 
ago, so we take special pride in offering the much better “STUDENT” Camera, which 
includes all the necessary apparatus, chemicals, etc., and also a folding tripod, 
carrying satchel and shoulder strap. For the price it is the simplest, strongest, lightest, 
most compact, easiest of comprehension, readiest in manipulation and cheapest complete 
outfit that we have ever seen. Price, $2 00, expressage prepaid, if 45 certs additional is 
sent. Or with a year’s subscription for $3.00; eicner a new subscription may be sent, or 
your own will be continued for a year from the time paid for.
