 THE CORONATION OF THE CZAR.
After long delay and months of seclusion from his subjects,
Alexander III. has been crowned Czar of all the Russias. The
coronation ceremonies took place at Moscow, in the Church of the
Assumption, in the Kremlin, within whose walls all the Romanoffs
have been crowned. Vast concourses of people thronged the streets
and crowded the thoroughfares of the city, the Kremlin was packed
with a dense mass of humanity, intent on witnessing the imposing
ceremonies of the coronation. Princes of every rank and government
officials of all degrees were present from all parts of his broad
domains to do homage to their master. The crowned heads of
Europe sent their representatives to grace the august occasion and
to convey their greetings and good wishes to the new-made
monarch.
The pageant of the coronation is said to have been the most
magnificent spectacle witnessed in Europe in modern times. It is
estimated that not less than ten millions of dollars were expended in
its preparation. The czar was everywhere received by his subjects
with the greatest enthusiasm, seeming to betoken the utmost loyalty
and reverence toward their rightful monarch. Nothing occurred to
mar the pomp and splendor of the occasion. No bombs were thrown,
no mines were exploded, no hostile demonstrations of any kind were
made; everything seemed to indicate the return of an era of peace
and security in the lately perturbed realm of Russia.
The crown with which the czar was invested is said to be worth
not less than three millions of roubles, but it is as heavily ladened
with cares as with jewels. No other ruler in Europe to-day has so
unenviable a throne or rests under such heavy burdens and
responsibilities. His vast domains have no bond of integral unity,
save the military power, while in whole provinces the inhabitants are
but one remove from barbarism. In addition to this the Nihilistic
organization, which pervades all Europe, is strongly intrenched in his
kingdom, and may, like a sleeping volcano, burst out in the future,
as it has in the recent past, with terrible fury and disastrous results.
Its representatives are everywhere; in the towns, cities and country;
in the army and palace; among peasants and princes of the realm.
Their threats of violence forced the czar into involuntary seclusion,
and were the cause of his long delay in assuming the crown.
While the deeds of violence which have characterized the Nihilistic
movement can not but be deprecated, they find some palliation in
the fact that Russia has been the worst governed country in all
Europe. Its czar is an absolute despot, and inasmuch as princes are
not usually slow to use all the power placed at their disposal,
Russian subjects have for centuries experienced all the ills coincident
with an absolute despotism. It is true that serfdom has been
abolished, but the tardy justice which accomplished this great work
but whetted the appetite of the Russian people for larger liberty, and
for the rightful privileges conceded by other European governments
to their subjects. Their demands in this direction have been hitherto
sternly denied. Every effort for their attainment has been met with
the most determined opposition on the part of the government. For
even slight political offenses, men are seized, and, with a mere
apology of a trial, are condemned, and sentenced to penal servitude
in the mines of Siberia. They are compelled to labor there from
twelve to eighteen hours per day, at the hardest kind of toil and
under the surveillance of brutal overseers. They are furnished but a
meager supply of food, and that of an inferior kind. They are
exposed to the stern severities of the Siberian winters, with but a
scant supply of clothing and little shelter. Within five or six years
death usually kindly puts a terminus to the sufferings of the
miserable exiles.
It is barbarities like these on the part of the government that has
put the sword and the bomb in the hand of the Russian Nihilist.
Goaded by opposition and aggravated by the denial of the rights of
citizenship, its subjects have resorted to the worst of revolutionary
measures to secure the redress of their wrongs and the possession
of the rights conceded to the subjects of other European states. It is
to be hoped that the new czar may learn from the lessons of the
past that the days of despots and autocrats are numbered, and that
the nineteenth century of the Christian era is an age when the rights
of subjects can not be disregarded, even by crowned heads, with
impunity. The only possible way in which Alexander III. can secure
the prolonged peace and perpetuity of his kingdom is to adopt a
liberal policy toward his subjects, institute measures to redress their
many and grievous wrongs, and surrender to the people or their
representatives a portion of the power now lodged in his hands,
which is by far too great for any monarch to possess, and which
renders him alike dangerous to the state and to his subjects.
 AMOS K. WARREN.
On the evening of the 9th of June, the well-known Secretary of
the Chautauqua Assembly, Mr. A. K. Warren, died at his home in
Mayville, N. Y., after an illness of several weeks. Mr. Warren was in
the fifty-ninth year of his age, and, since the close of the third
Assembly, in 1876, he has had charge of the business at
Chautauqua, under the leadership and direction of Mr. Lewis Miller
and the Board of Trustees. He grew in favor with the Chautauqua
management and the general public from the time he first assumed
the duties of his office. It was Mr. Warren that effected the purchase
of the one hundred acres of land to add to the original Chautauqua
grounds, and with taste and untiring zeal laid out pleasant walks and
public parks, continually increasing the convenience and the beauty
of the grounds.
Several of the most valued public buildings were erected during
these years of his connection with the Assembly—the Children’s
Temple and Hall of Philosophy, the Amphitheater and the
commodious Hotel Athenæum. He has shown himself to be wise and
skillful in executing the plans of President Miller and the Board. His
loss will be keenly felt and the position he occupied difficult to fill. In
addition to the office he occupied at Chautauqua Mr. Warren has
served as sheriff of Chautauqua County, and at one time was
manager of the Buffalo, Pittsburgh & Western Railroad. In every
position he proved himself to be a man of superior executive ability,
born to be a leader of men and a manager of great movements. He
leaves a widow and one daughter, well provided for by certain
property which he owned and by an insurance of seven thousand
dollars.
The funeral services were held in Mayville, June 13, at his late
residence, being conducted by the Rev. Milton Smith, of Mayville.
The Scriptures were read by the Rev. Dr. Flood, and the prayer
offered and remarks made by the Rev. Dr. Vincent. Although not a
member of the Church, Mr. Warren was a believer in the Christian
religion. Were we permitted to break the confidence of the private
correspondence which passed between Dr. Vincent and Mr. Warren
just before his death, much would be revealed that would be
comforting to the friends of the deceased and inspiring to all
believers in Christianity.
His death brought together a large number of people, among
them many of the Executive Board, who were obliged to call a
meeting at once at Mayville in order to reorganize the working forces
of the Assembly and supply the place left vacant by Mr. Warren’s
death.
Notwithstanding the great loss sustained, it is expected that
under the direction of President Miller and the Board, the work of
improvement and building will be carried on as usual. The
management is so complete that no work will be neglected nor any
department be slighted. The grounds are in excellent condition as
are also the streets, walks and public buildings, and improvement
will constantly go on.
 EDITOR’S NOTE-BOOK.

The Chautauqua Assembly Daily Herald will contain full reports of

the July and August meetings. The first number will be issued on
Saturday, August 4. There will be nineteen numbers in the volume.
Price, $1.00; in clubs of five or more, 90 cents. See our combination
offer on another page of this magazine.

Some railroad managers are employing the machinery of the

Young Men’s Christian Association among their men with good
results. Mr. Vanderbilt employs a religious worker on a regular salary
to keep open a room and conduct religious services for the benefit of
his men in New York. The N. Y., P. & O. R. R., a trunk line to the
west, running past Chautauqua, has adopted the same plan in
Meadville, Cleveland, and other cities. Railroad men are absent from
home a good portion of their time when on duty, and, as strangers
in strange places, they are greatly benefited by the religious homes
provided by the corporations.

The Rev. Dr. J. H. Vincent will deliver the Fourth of July oration at
Ocean Grove, and lecture before the Ohio State Teachers’
Association the fifth of July at Chautauqua.

The Hon. James G. Blaine seems to have retired from political life.
A Washington correspondent, who evidently has studied his habits,
says in a New York paper: “It is with his venture into literature that
Mr. Blaine has mostly occupied his mind this spring. He seems
suddenly to have discovered the charms of the library and the study,
and as he has a literary workshop that is as suggestive and
delightful as money can make it, he is drinking the newly-discovered
cup to the dregs. His library is on the second floor. Here, after he
has breakfasted, he repairs and plunges into his work. Occasional
visits to the Congressional Library furnish him with much of the data
that he requires for his work, and this is supplemented by
correspondence, by his own letters and private records, and, more
than all, by a memory that seems to be able to recall all the events
of his twenty years of public life as though they were all crowded
into yesterday. It is not Mr. Blaine’s intention to make the work in
any sense a series of personal reminiscences, but briefly to describe,
as a historian, the important public events of the past twenty years.
There is a good deal of curiosity already to get hints of how he is
doing it; but he keeps his own counsel, and asks advice and hints of
no one. He spends five or six hours daily on this work, only quitting
his desk in time to take his afternoon drive. He expects to finish the
work early in the winter.”

A beautiful satin program of the exercises of Shakspere’s Day, has

been sent us by the “Greek Letter Circle,” of Milwaukee. Evidently
the artistic as well as the “Literary and Scientific” is being cultivated
there.

The dean of the Chautauqua School of Theology, the Rev. A. A.

Wright, of Boston, Mass., is noticed by Dr. Daniel S. Steele, in Zion’s
Herald, thus: “It was the boast of Tyndale, before he translated the
New Testament into English, that he would enable the very plow-
boys to know more about the New Testament than the bishops
themselves. The attempt of Bro. Wright is more audacious. He has
undertaken to make the plow-boys and kitchen-maids know more of
the original New Testament Greek than the professionals
themselves, who acquired their knowledge in the slipshod and
unscientific methods in vogue only forty years ago. In carrying out
his scheme he is constructing a serial lexicon on a novel principle.
He selects the most important word and groups under it all its
derivatives and compounds in Greek and English, requiring a
memorizing of these seed-words. Thus the student’s mind becomes
a nursery in which a whole forest of Greek is sprouting.”
 In the political arena, young men are coming into position.
Governor Pattison, of Pennsylvania, is thirty-three years old, and the
Republican candidate for governor of Ohio, Mr. Foraker, is thirty-
seven.

On Thursday, August 30, the C. L. S. C. alumni in New England

will hold a reunion at South Framingham, Mass. This will be during
the session of the Framingham Assembly. Preparations are being
made by the officers and committees to insure an interesting and
profitable gathering. Mr. A. W. Pike is president and Mrs. M. A. F.
Adams is secretary of the alumni association. The C. L. S. C. has
more than doubled its numbers in New England during the past year,
and the history of New England people is that they don’t give up a
good institution when they have once taken it to their hearts.

John B. Gough says: “The lecture business is declining, because

the people are inclining to music and theatricals.” We presume this is
true where the people have nothing but lectures and lectures; under
such circumstances it is not a cause for wonder, but if any person
will take the pains to read the reports of “Local Circles” published in
The Chautauquan the past ten months they will observe how lectures
on a wide range of subjects, scientific and historical, philosophical
and practical, have been made popular, intermingled as they have
been with concerts, reunions, banquets, social life and a variety of
entertainments by enterprising organizations.

Chautauqua’s waters, clear and bright!

Listen, thence there comes to-night
Songs so sweet my heart they win.
Charmèd Circle, take me in.
—E. O. P.

The symposium on the “Moral Influence of the Drama,” in the

June number of the North American Review, is an able discussion of
the subject. Dr. Buckley wields a keen lance, but there is a time for
all things. The editorial management that brings on this discussion in
the summer time, when the theaters are mostly closed, is not likely
to do so much toward correcting existing evils as if it had brought on
the debate when the theaters are opened in the fall time. The
adaptation of truth to an end is wisdom, but the adaptation in this
case is to the end of the season, when the evil is done, vapor and
effervescence.

We have some sympathy with the idea expressed by a

correspondent in a western State, that we should have degrees
conferred on the graduates of the C. L. S. C., under certain
limitations, and in recognition of certain attainments in literature,
history, etc. The degree of the Ph.D. is now conferred by some
universities and colleges after the applicant has passed required
examinations, though he has never been within the walls of the
institution.

Postmaster General Gresham has introduced practical civil service

reform into his department. In a recent order he has issued to
postmasters, of the second and third classes, he says that the
postmaster must be in his office and attend to the business in
person; absence from his post, without permission from the
Postoffice Department, will be considered sufficient reason for
dismissal from the service. This is a wise and timely order, and
General Gresham deserves the thanks of the people of the country
for inaugurating this reform.

Alaska is sadly in need of a civil government. The lectures of the

Presbyterian missionary, Dr. Sheldon Jackson, on the condition of the
people of Alaska, delivered at Chautauqua and published in the
Assembly Herald and The Chautauquan, created quite a sensation and
attracted the attention of thinking Christian people in all parts of the
country. There is great need of interposition by the government at
Washington. The Presbyterian General Assembly, at a recent session
in Saratoga, appointed a committee, with Dr. Howard Crosby as
chairman, to visit President Arthur relative to giving the people of
Alaska a civil government. Let missionary societies and Christian
assemblies petition the powers that be until Alaska is redeemed from
her present state, which is little better in some places than
barbarism.

The reasons for divorces are only equalled by the devices which
parties adopt to secure them. Major Nickerson, of the United States
army, sent his wife and daughter to Europe in 1880. The major
promised to follow them soon, providing he could secure leave of
absence. His wife waited but he did not come. He continued to write
her and send money, until about a year ago he began to send his
letters and remittances to his daughter. His wife asked an
explanation, but he gave her no satisfaction. At last she learned
through her mother that he had obtained a divorce and was married
again, and that the ground on which the divorce was obtained was
desertion. The bare statement of the facts in such a case teach us
that our laws, as to granting divorces, are lax and unscriptural, and
should be reconstructed in the interests of justice and the safety of
the family as an institution against designing men.

The Argentine Republic is doing a great deal of quiet work in

education, which might even be an example to us who look upon
that far-away land as out of the world. They have in their national
college a greater proportion of students than either England or
Germany. To obtain the most advanced methods, the government
has just obtained eight young women from the normal schools at
Winona, Minn., to take charge of the normal schools in the republic.

We learn that Prof. F. H. Bailey, the inventor of the astral lantern,

so highly commended by Bishop Warren and others, is now located
at Northville, Mich., and that orders for lanterns, or correspondence,
should be addressed to him, or to the Michigan School Furnishing
Company, at that place. We heartily wish that scores of our local
circles might procure one of these invaluable helps to the study of
the stars.
 The present number of The Chautauquan closes the third volume.
In October will be published the first number of the fourth volume.
Its place will be supplied during the summer by the Assembly
Herald, published during August as a daily. Price, $1.00.

The article in the present number of The Chautauquan by John

Lord, LL.D., is an extract from a lecture delivered at Chautauqua.

The faculty of the Summer Assembly at Pacific Grove, Cal., have

determined to make natural history a specialty. The opportunities are
unrivaled, for all the wonders of the sea-shore are at their
command. In order to obtain specimens of the flora and fauna of the
entire coast, they have solicited members to send or bring
collections of dried plants, zoölogical specimens, etc.

Curiosity and lack of coolness were the causes of the terrible

disaster which marred Decoration Day of 1883, and threw a shadow
over the glory of the Brooklyn bridge. To rush to see what is the
cause of a crowd, a sudden noise or confusion, is a childish act, and
yet there is hardly one in a hundred but will do it. To keep still and
cool when the crowd becomes a stampede is almost unknown. How
to prevent a panic and how to act in a panic, are questions worthy
the study of all intelligent people, and it might not be amiss to teach
the principles of coolness and self-restraint to the young.

This month Mrs. Cook brings her party of Chautauquans back to

America. They have finished their “Tour Around the World,” and will
spend their vacation at home until it is time to start on their “Ideal
Summer Trip Beyond the Sea.” We only hope that all those who have
enjoyed so much their travels with Mrs. Dickinson and Mrs. Cook,
will be able to take the latter trip.

The new cover has been well received by both our subscribers
and the press. An exchange says of us: “The Chautauquan, the organ
of the Chautauqua Assembly, Chautauqua University, the
Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle, and other Chautauqua
institutions, has made its appearance in a very elegant new dress. It
is not only handsome but it contains more really solid, instructive,
interesting and valuable matter than any periodical known to us.” A
lady from Illinois in expressing her thanks for the improvement,
writes: “I like the new dress of The Chautauquan. It is artistic, and is a
reminder of what Chautauqua has been, and is, and what she still
offers to the world.”

Macnabb’s photographic studio of art, at 813 Broadway, N. Y., is

sending out some very finely finished work. They offer special
inducements to clubs. The studio is certainly worthy the attention of
persons visiting the city and wishing pictures.
 EDITOR’S TABLE.

Q. Where can an edition of the New Testament containing the

authorized version and new version in parallel columns, be obtained?
A. From Porter & Coates, Philadelphia.

Q. From what book can a thorough knowledge of the New

Testament Apocrypha be obtained?
A. Any work on the canon will contain more or less on the
Apocrypha. Probably the best work is in French, Michael Nicolas’
“Etudes sur les Evangiles Apocryphes.”

Q. Is the sentence, “There is no world under our feet, no radiant

clouds, no blazing sun, no silver moon, nor twinkling stars,” correct.
A. “Nor” is correlative to “neither” or “not.” Either the sentence
should retain “not” before “stars,” or “neither” should be introduced
into the first clause as a negative instead of “no,” so as to
correspond with “nor.”

Q. Who is the author of the quotation, “Whom the gods wish to

destroy they first make mad?”
A. Euripides.

Q. Is the aërolite illustrated on page 122 of “Warren’s Astronomy,”

the one which fell at Santa Rosa, California, a few years ago?
A. It is.

Q. On page 114 of the “Geology,” does the author intend to class

snakes with mammals?
A. He does not.
 Q. Was Alexander of Macedon, who, before the battle of Platæa,
informed the Greeks of the intention of Mardonius to attack them,
their ally?
A. He was not, though secretly friendly to their cause. He had
been compelled to submit to the Persians and had accompanied
Xerxes to Greece in 480 B. C.

Q. What was the reason that the Almæonidæ were considered

sacrilegious by the Greeks?
A. In consequence of the way in which Megacles, one of the
family, treated the insurgents under Cylon in 612 B. C., they brought
upon themselves the guilt of sacrilege and were banished.

Q. What is the pronunciation of “applique,” as used in

embroidery?
A. Ap-pli-kā´.

Q. What poet was born the same year as Napoleon Bonaparte?

A. There were three. Ernest Arndt, a German; Charles de
Chenedolle, French; John Frere, an English diplomatist and poet.

Q. What authority is there for spelling the name “Shakespeare,”

“Shakspere?”
A. Many of the best authorities consider this spelling preferable.

Q. Who is the author of the line, “It flies and swims a flower in
liquid air!” referring to the butterfly?
A. P. Commire, a writer of Latin verse.

Q. What is the meaning of the Roman initials S. P. Q. R.?

A. Senatus Populusque Romanus (The Senate and the Roman
people).

Q. Who fixed the date of the birth of Christ?

A. About the middle of the sixth century Dionysius Exigius, a
Roman abbot, introduced the method of dating from the birth of
Christ. It is conceded that he placed the date four years too late, a
fact of no importance in chronology, as all that is necessary is to
place the Savior’s birth 4 B. C.

Q. What event in English history is connected with the “Royal

Oak?”
A. After the battle of Worcester in 1651, in which Charles II. was
defeated by Cromwell, the former was obliged to conceal himself in
an oak at Boscobel, to avoid capture.

Q. What was the faith of George Henry Lewis?

A. He was a positivist.

Q. What was his nationality?

A. English.

Q. What is the Chautauqua salute?

A. The waving of white handkerchiefs.

Q. Explain the expression, “balance of power.”

A. The division of land and wealth among nations, which prevents
any one being sufficiently stronger than the others to interfere with
their independence.

Q. What is the difference between the majority and the plurality

of votes?
A. When a candidate receives more than any other candidate, he
has a plurality of votes. When more than all others, a majority.

Q. Are the Goths, Scandinavians and Norsemen, the same

people?
A. They are not. Scandinavians or Norsemen were the names
given to the inhabitants of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland.
The Goths lived south of the Scandinavians. Although probably of
the same origin, they are a distinct people.
 TALK ABOUT BOOKS.

The first essential in a popular work of any kind is clearness. A

glance at the contents of Prof. Welsh’s new history of English
literature[E] shows that the work is so systematically arranged that
one can not fail to understand it. The life of the nation which shaped
the literature of each period is graphically and simply described.
Each political, national, and social law which helped to form the
thoughts and customs of the people, is noticed. The leading writers
are discussed under the different heads of biography, writing, style,
rank, character, and influence. This tabular method has, by no
means, degraded the book into simply a school text-book. It has
made it suitable for that and more valuable to the general reader.
The style is fresh, never tiresome. The illustrations are so woven into
the narrative that an idea of the plan of the book is readily seen, and
besides the quotations are admirably chosen. The work has been
wrought enthusiastically and conscientiously by a man thoroughly
interested in what he was doing. Its reception has been his reward.
The Letters and Memorials of Jane Welsh Carlyle,[F] have
completed Mr. Froude’s task of reminiscence editing, and given the
curious public ample information about the private life and character
of Thomas Carlyle. The task has not been a pleasant one for Mr.
Froude, but it has been faithfully and modestly performed. These
letters are curiously interesting for many reasons. They are vivacious
and sparkling, full of lively character sketches, and reveal the private
life of one of the most discussed men of the age. Better than all of
these, they introduce us to a woman to whom Arthur Helps once
candidly said: “Well, really, you are a model wife,” to whom poor
Mazzini could go whenever “in a state of crisis” (as he put it); whom
Mills, Jeffrey, Tennyson, and many others, honored for her wit and
womanliness. She was a clever woman, and a brave one. None but a
clever woman could have written these charming letters, none but a
brave one could have endured a husband like Carlyle. She was too
loyal to cease loving him, too strong to complain, though many a
letter shows her sense of his weakness. Jane Welsh Carlyle will find
a permanent place among the famous women of the century for
wifely devotion, as well as for being a brilliant letter-writer.
The book is chiefly valuable for its wide range of happily-told
anecdotes, and its spicy comments. Here is a picture of Lord Jeffrey
and Count D’Orsay, who were calling on her together: “What a
difference! The prince of critics and the prince of dandies! How
washed out the beautiful dandiacal face looked beside that little
clever old man’s! The large blue dandiacal eyes you would say had
never contemplated anything more interesting than the reflection of
the handsome personage they pertained to in a looking-glass, while
the dark penetrating ones of the other had taken notes of most
things in God’s universe, even seeing a good way into millstones.”
She makes wise and true as well as pointed comments on the wide
range of men and society that came under her notice.
Undoubtedly Robert Browning’s “Jocoseria”[G] has been the most
read and most thoroughly noticed of any book of poems of the
season. It is a simple little volume of but ten poems. The best of
them all is the unpretending one beginning:
“Never the time and the place
And the loved one all together!
This path—how soft to pace!
This May—what magic weather!
Where is the loved one’s face?”
The most influential book of the present day is undoubtedly the
novel. They constitute four-fifths of all the books read. The
philosophy of its development has become not only a question of
great literary interest, but one of educational and moral interest. Mr.
Sydney Lanier, in 1881, delivered a course of twelve lectures before
the students of John Hopkins University, on this subject, and they
have recently been published in book form,[H] forming a highly
interesting and philosophical discussion. His object is to show that
the growth in sentiment since the days of the Greeks has been so
great that the old forms of literature and art have been inadequate
to express our ideas, hence in the last two centuries three things
have been developed—Science, Music, and the Novel. He gives most
copious illustrations from modern novels to uphold his principles.
Lovers of American poetry and poets will be glad to welcome the
recent “Life of William Cullen Bryant.”[I] Soon after Mr. Bryant’s
death in 1878 his papers, containing useful materials for a biography
of his life, were sent to Mr. Parke Godwin, a gentleman of long
connection with the press, in order that he might prepare a memoir
of the poet. Mr. Godwin has collected most of Mr. Bryant’s letters, his
editorial writings, and the newspaper articles concerning him, until
he has been able to lay before his readers a very complete and exact
biography. Necessarily the work contains little of intense interest.
Bryant’s life was a quiet, laborious one. Fifty years of it were spent in
editorial work in which, as the author well says, “the labors consist
of a series of incessant blows, of the real influence of which it is
hard to judge.” But his career as editor and poet are well treated in a
simple, pleasant narrative, which leave one with a profound respect
for the upright, just and noble father of American poetry.
In September, 1881, the Presbyterian Church lost one of its most
honored ministers by the death of the Rev. Cyrus Dickson, D.D., the
Secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions. The Presbytery of
Baltimore at once arranged to prepare a memorial. The work was
committed to the Rev. S. J. M. Eaton, D.D.[J] The biography which
Dr. Eaton has produced is a simple story of a devout, self-sacrificing
Christian. Such books never fail in their purpose. The story of a life
is, after all, the most influential of stories.
One of the best of the many sets of school readers, is the “Globe
Readings.”[K] Beginning with the simple primers of two grades there
are six readers in which the selections are very carefully graded,
followed by a “Book of Golden Deeds,” by Charlotte Yonge; Lamb’s
“Tales from Shakspere;” Scott’s “Marmion;” “Lay of the Last
Minstrel,” and “Lady of the Lake;” Cowper’s “Task,” and Goldsmith’s
“Vicar of Wakefield.” The series has been carefully edited, and the
notes give just the amount of help necessary to young readers.
The “Home College Series”[L] has reached the number of thirty-
two. They cover a great range of subjects. History, science,
biography, art, house-keeping, penmanship, wise-sayings, political
economy and religion, and will be valuable reading for spare
moments.
The last issues of the charming “Riverside Literature Series,”[M]
are “Biographical Stories” and “True Stories from New England
History.”

This powder never varies. A marvel of purity, strength, and

wholesomeness. More economical than the ordinary kinds, and
can not be sold in competition with the multitude of low test,
short weight, alum or phosphate powders. Sold only in cans.
