the finger shown without a cut or scar.  The Fire Eater, the great sensational trick of the day; any person can apparently breathe fire and blow thousands of brilliant sparks from the mouth.  We send material enough for several exhibitions. Magic Bottle Imp, a very amusing trick; it is a curiosity and a brain puzzler; will stand as straight as a flag-staff and no one can make it lie down, but when you take it down it goes like a sleepy kitten; it causes heaps of fun. Wonderful Paper Trick; this trick can be performed by any one; you produce the package of cigarette paper that we furnish, and take a sheet and tear it in small pieces and roll it into a ball; then unroll the ball, and there is the sheet of paper, perfect in size and not torn in the slightest.  It can be repeated many times, as the book of leaves is a thick one.  All the above tricks packed in a neat box with full directions with every article, so that any one can perform the tricks, and sent by mail, postpaid, for 25 cents, silver or stamps.  Address Home Trick Co., 4.  Eddy St., Providence, R.I.

From The Herald, Cannonsburg, Pa.

There are many excellent publications for boys and girls, and it is quite difficult to make choice among them.  For more than a long time we have been a reader of GOLDEN DAYS, a large and handsome weekly paper published in Philadelphia by James Elverson, and we have come to admire it very much.  No matter is found in GOLDEN DAYS that the most prudent parent could object to, and then everything is presented in such an attractive way that young folks are sure to read it and watch anxiously for the mail that brings the next Issue.  GOLDEN DAYS is also issued as a monthly, and subscribers can have their choice of receiving the paper weekly or getting each month’s issues bound.  The subscription price is *$3* per annum.

From the Canton Press, Canton, Mo.

The GOLDEN DAYS is pushing forward to a position in the field of juvenile journalism that will make it the ne plus ultra.  Its stories sparkle with originality and interest, and its poems are the best.  Published at $3 a year by James Elverson, Philadelphia, Pa.  Send for a free sample copy.
