=D LOTHROP COMPANY. Publishers, Boston, U. S. A.=

=Wide Awake, 1887.=

Volumes W and X. 4to, boards, 1.75 a volume—cloth, 2.25.

“The files we have had bound are so popular as to be in
danger of being literally read to pieces; and, knowing
well that the new ones will meet the same treatment,
we earnestly hope that the time will never come when
it will be impossible to replace them; for they are a
source of too much enjoyment and benefit to our young
people to be allowed to get out of print—that would be
a great misfortune.”

_—Extract from letter of the Librarian of the Morse
Institute, Natick, Mass., ordering the first nineteen
volumes of_ WIDE AWAKE.

One in a dozen families—no, not so many—one in a
hundred eats good food. About as many read good books.
And yet the proportion of good eating and reading is
quite as high in this as in any country. The fact is
some good food is a little dry. Good reading is never
peppery. We are losing our capacity for enjoyment of
both when we crave unwholesome stimulants.

_Wide Awake_ is one of those rare collections varied
and bright enough to engage the common reader and good
enough to lead the capable reader to higher pleasures
and benefits.

Volume W contains: a yachting story, by Charles R.
Talbot; Peggy and her Family, by Margaret Sidney;
Pamela’s Fortune, by Lucy C. Lillie; Pocahontas and
Rolfe, by Mrs. Blathwayt; Turkish Childhood, by Hon. S.
S. Cox; Some Nantucket Children, by Mrs. Macy; stories
of early American warfare; no end of short stories and
sketches, poems, engravings, etc.

Volume X is equally full and fine. The two volumes make
the year. The covers are bright and beautiful.

=Boys and Girls’ Annual 1888.=

4to, cloth, 3.00.

A big book of short stories and long; good many of
both; and bright ones all of them, long or short. The
secret is: they are out of _Wide Awake_. Pictures
besides.

=Dame Heraldry.=

By F. S. W. Illustrated by nine full-page colored illustrations and numerous engravings. 8vo, cloth, 2.50.

The writer, his children having an interest in
heraldry, set himself at the task of telling them what
he knew of it. Hence the book; which treats the whole
subject formally, yet with a pleasant vacation air.

=Family Flight Series.=

By E. E. HALE and SUSAN HALE, 5 vols., 8vo, boards, each, 1.75; cloth, 2.25.

Book journeys through the several countries with eyes
and ears wide open, old eyes and young eyes and ears.
The books are full of pictures, and fuller of knowledge
not only of what is going on but what has gone on ever
since book-making began, and fuller yet of brightness
and interest. You see the old as old; but you see it;
you see where it was and the marks it left. You see the
new with eyes made sharper by knowledge of what has
gone in the world.

In other words these books amount to something like
going through these places with a traveling companion
who knows all about them and their histories.

They are written and pictured for boys and girls; but
there is nothing to hinder the old folks going along.
Will you go?

FAMILY FLIGHT AROUND HOME.
FAMILY FLIGHT OVER EGYPT AND SYRIA.
FAMILY FLIGHT THROUGH FRANCE, GERMANY, NORWAY AND SWITZERLAND.
FAMILY FLIGHT THROUGH MEXICO.
FAMILY FLIGHT THROUGH SPAIN.

One of the most effective means of exciting and
satisfying zeal for knowledge of the world we have in
books.

=Golden West as Seen by the Ridgway Club.=

4to, cloth, 2.25; boards, 1.75.

A pictorial and talkative run from Boston to Monterey for health and pleasure and information. And what the jolly party sees from the car windows is only part of the treat.

=What the Seven Did, or the Doings of the Wordsworth Club.=

4to, cloth, 2.25; boards, 1.75.

The seven are little girl neighbors, the Wordsworth Club, which met once a week at their several homes to have a good time. Those good times are the book. The best of them had to do with the fathers and mothers and Widow Barker’s cow.

Square 8vo, boards, 1.25; cloth 1.75.

Neighbor boys and girls growing up together, having their ins and outs, and ups and downs; and the old folks had their share in the young folks’ doings, as they ought. It was a jolly Pengannop. They did grow good men and women those days in New England.

=Bubbling Teapot.=

A Wonder Story by LIZZIE W. CHAMPNEY.

A discontented little girl is the Bubbling Teapot of
a sort of Japanese Arabian Night. She tries a great
many kinds of life and concludes that the nicest life,
after all, is that of a little American girl. It is a
dream-story.

=In No-Man’s Land.=

A Wonder Story by E. S. BROOKS.

A Dream-story as droll as Alice in Wonderland. Not like
Alice; and yet can there be two sorts of dream-nonsense
so witty and wild, so mixed up and yet not muddy a
whit? The plays on nursery rhymes are enough to make
the fortune of almost a dull book. And “there isn’t a
dull line in it.”

=Dilly and the Captain.=

BY MARGARET SIDNEY.

A bicycle-tricycle story of pioneers and explorers in
search of the place where children should be seen and
heard too. A very jolly story.

=Nelly Marlow in Washington.=

By LAURA D. NICHOLS. Square, 8vo, boards, $1.25; cloth, $1.50.

Nelly sees the Capitol and the Capital. There are
wonderful things to be seen there; too many to think of
out of the book. It’s a story besides. Nelly brings up
in the Adirondacks before her play-time is over.

=Overhead=: or what Harry and Nelly discovered in the heavens. By ANNIE MOORE and LAURA D. NICHOLS. Introduction by Leonard Waldo, of Harvard College Observatory. Square 8vo, boards, 1.25; cloth, 1.50.

stations, in great big letters and pictures, with a
little bit of easy astronomy sprinkled in.

=Underfoot=, or what Harry and Nelly learned of the earth’s treasures. By LAURA D. NICHOLS. Square 8vo, boards, 1.25; cloth, 1.50.

Peeps at the world we live on and into it here and
there where the holes are.

=Up Hill and Down Dale.= By LAURA D. NICHOLS. Square 8vo, boards, 1.25; cloth, 1.50.

Nelly leaves Harry at business and goes to the country.
What she sees there is in the book, and a great many
things besides.

=Cats’ Arabian Nights.= By ABBY MORTON DIAZ. 8vo, boards, 1.25.

The wonderful cat story of cat stories told by
Pussyanita that saved the lives of all the cats,
the funniest, wittiest story that ever was [so says
Pussyanita]; and that is why it is wonderful. King
Grimalkum must have been a credulous fellow; but nobody
blames him for losing his wits to such a teller of cat
stories.

=Fireside Chronicles, or the Family Story-Teller.= By ABBY MORTON DIAZ.

Fifteen different chronicles, every one of them funnier
than the last one; and five times as many pictures of
what they’re about. A great deal of wisdom in with the
fun.

=Wonder Stories.=

3 volumes, 12mo, cloth, each 1.50.

=Wonder Stories of History.= Historical incidents told
in short stories by several writers.

_Bound Volumes of Two Illustrated Magazines._

=Our Little Men and Women for 1887.=

4to, 74 full-page illustrations, cloth, 2.00; boards, 1.50.

Nearly 300 pages of pictures and stories, sketches, lessons, and entertainments easy to read and understand, for children six to eight years old. As bright as a book can be, and as full of help towards wholesome progress in learning, growth of mind and the formation of good habits and taste in reading.

The cover is daintily beautiful.

=The Pansy for 1887.=

4to, cloth, 1.75; boards, 1.25.

More than 400 pages of reading and pictures for children of eight to fifteen years in various lines of interest. There are sketches of home and foreign life, religious instruction, biography, history, fiction, anecdote, letter-writing. The editor is the author of the Pansy books, which means that the drift of _The Pansy_ is all one way.

The cover is almost made of pansies, purple and gold, with a pair of happy children on a grassy bank, and a flock of butterflies.

=Real Fairy Folks.=

By LUCY RIDER MEYER, A.M. Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, $1.50.

A play-excursion into chemistry, none the less serious
because it is play, and none the less play because it
is serious.

We quote from the author’s word to parents: “This book
is true to chemical fact and principle. It is an effort
to make them love the beautiful science of chemistry
and to lift their thoughts to the One who holds in His
hand the atoms as securely as He holds the worlds.”

Nevertheless it is a book of diversion, a story-book, a
fairy story-book. A queer combination, but we believe
successful. We much mistake if it is not splendidly
successful.

=Story Book of Science.=

By LYDIA HOYT FARMER. Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, $1.50.

This also is fact and fiction in science; stories
made upon what goes on in the world, the scientific
and practical world. Glass-making is in it; and silk;
a great many insects; snow; wind; the seven modern
wonders; birds; animals; tea, coffee, pepper, potatoes;
what not? There are subjects enough, and learning
enough; and there is fun in finding out how the world
is put together.

=Look-About Club.=

By MARY E. BAMFORD. 4to, cloth, 1.50.

The Club is a family given to study of animals. Under the guise of play the family learns about spiders and butterflies, chickens and rabbits, fishes and frogs, the folks in the brook, the folks on the ground and the folks in the air, which includes grasshoppers and beetles.

There is a great deal to know about our neighbors, worth knowing, too; and the surest way to begin learning is to like it. That is why such books as this are made, to make young people like the beginnings of learning.

=Little Polly Blatchley.=

By FRANCES C. SPARHAWK. 4to, boards, 1.00.

Delightful stories out of little Polly’s life. Polly
is what elderly people call an “old” little girl. She
is continually thinking of things that little people
are apt to skip; and she keeps her thoughts to herself
so wisely and lets them out so in the nick of time,
she delights her good papa and mamma in the book and
the little girl who reads it. It is a rare book for
pleasure and wholesome suggestion.

=Playfellows and Their Pets.=

4to, boards, 1.00.

Short stories about children, animals and birds, with
a great many pictures. Not a page but is full of
entertainment, instruction and means of growth for
pretty good readers of six or eight or ten—Do little
folks go by ages nowadays?

=After Play Stories for the Little Ones.=

4to, boards, 1.00.

Beginning stories for little readers, or to be read to
people too little to read for themselves.

There is one about the Puzzled Baby, which begins in
this way:

“I am a baby. But I don’t want you to think I am one of
these little bits of things who know nothing at all. I
am an _old_ baby. I am almost ten months old!

“I have a cousin who is only nine weeks old. The little
goose don’t know how to get his toes in his mouth!”

=Some Things Abroad.=

By ALEXANDER MCKENZIE, D. D. 12mo, cloth, $1.50.

A chatty going over the events of day after day of a
journey through northern and southern Europe into Asia,
the Holy Land especially. Dr. McKenzie’s name is enough
in New England. Outside also.

=Russian Novelists.=

From the French of M. de Vogüé by JANE LORING EDMANDS. 12mo, cloth, $1.50.

An exposition of life and feeling in Russia through an
examination of the most characteristic Russian writers;
also a critical and general estimate of current Russian
literature.

=Life Among the Germans.=

By EMMA LOUISE PARRY. 12mo, cloth, $1.50.

A very near and intimate view of German home and
social life, with a sympathetic account of the Luther
Centennial. A book of rare fullness and delicacy.

=Common Sense Science.=

By GRANT ALLEN. 12mo, cloth, $1.50.

Practical applications of many results of recent
advances in science. Not a schoolbook; a means of
intelligence suited to busy people.

=Royal Girls and Royal Courts.=

By M. E. W. SHERWOOD. 12mo, cloth, $1.25.

A book of twelve chapters on nearly as many European
courts with special regard to the local etiquette, by a
peculiarly competent person.

=Souvenirs of My Time.=

BY JESSIE BENTON FRÉMONT. 12mo, cloth, $1.50.

Reminiscences of a political-social career of rare
distinction in a republican country told with a
freshness and readiness rare in any country.

=American Authors for Young Folks.=

By AMANDA B. HARRIS. 12mo, cloth, $1.00.

Not exhaustive essays upon but rather clues to our
writers who need not be named for their eminence and
whom not to know is not to know the American part in
English letters.

=Dorothy Thorn of Thornton.=

By JULIAN WARTH. 12 mo., $1.25.

The chemist’s dainty daughter draws the old dreamer
out of his laboratory and the young dreamer out of his
yacht, the one as neatly as the other.

There is a factory in the story, with a hard-headed
business man for a manager and a gentleman for owner.
There is a community of working men; their lives and
feelings and interests, also their schemes and plans.
A minister; two of them, one a woman; one to society,
one to the working people. A strike, a mob, a murder, a
settlement.

The manufacturer wins, and so do the workmen. So does
the chemist’s daughter, as indeed she deserves.

=Gladys.=

A Romance. By MARY G. DARLING. 12mo, $1.25.

A story of love—the ever-new old story. The bright and
beautiful daughter of a fond old man who has nothing to
do but delight in her pleasure, and watch her numerous
lovers, spends her first summer after school-days at
Bar Harbor. Too good and true to be spoiled by pursuit,
she, nevertheless, but slowly learns to distinguish
conjugal love. Her fortune takes her more or less
blindly through the school of experience—a school that
tempers not its exactions.

There are interesting stories within the larger story,
and interesting fragments of other lives than the two.
We part from several of the personages unwillingly.

=After School Days.=

By CHRISTINA GOODWIN. 12mo, cloth, 1.00.

A tale: quite a new sort of history. School-days over, four girl friends return to their homes and life begins. As often happens, life is not as they picture it. What it is for the four and how they severally meet it—that is the story.

=For a Girl’s Room.=

12mo, cloth, 1.00.

A practical help for a girl to surround herself with pleasant things with little expense. The book is mainly filled with ways to exercise taste on waste or picked-up things for use with an eye to decoration as well. A friendly sort of a book to fill odd minutes whether at home or out, for herself or another. By no means on “fancy work”—not all work—Chapter XXI is how to tame birds, and XXV is what to do in emergencies.

=GO TELL MOTHER.=

ROYAL GIRLS. By M. E. W. Sherwood. Ill. Boston: D. Lothrop Company. Price $1.25. One thing readers will learn from this volume by Mrs. Sherwood, and that is that girls who happen to be born princesses are very much like those who are born in ordinary households, and that human nature is pretty much the same in a palace as it is in an American farmhouse. But they will learn, too, that in most royal families the daughters are subjected to a course of discipline and training more severe and exacting than ever fell to the lot of an American girl. They are obliged to study early and late; they must have not only a thorough knowledge of the languages, of music and of court etiquette, but also of the politics of their own and other governments; they must know something of statecraft and of diplomacy, for no princess knows what station she may be some time called on to fill. No American girl need envy them, says Mrs. Sherwood. “They are in chains, all of them. They must be careful what they say, do, think even. With royal girls, what interrupted destinies, what cruel disappointments, what unhappy marriages, what a contrast between the desire and fulfilment do we constantly see.” There are certain things in which Mrs. Sherwood thinks they might serve as models to American girls, with whom she frequently compares them. The volume contains sketches of the royal girls of Italy, of Spain, of Denmark, of Russia, of England and of Germany, and two chapters are devoted to “Carmen Sylva,” the queen of Roumania and the empress of Austria. The author describes very entertainingly the home life of some of these girls, and the rules of etiquette to which they are obliged to conform. The volume is well illustrated with portraits.

WHAT PEOPLE LIVE BY. By Count Leo Tolstoi. Translated by Mrs. Aline Delano. Boston: D. Lothrop Company. Price $1.00. A remarkable little story by the distinguished Russian writer, Count Tolstoi, has been translated by Mrs. Aline Delano, and cannot fail to impress the reader more strongly than ever with the wonderful power of the author in dealing with religious or psychological subjects. It was written for a distinct purpose; to show, in the words of the title, “What People Live By.” Nothing can be more severely simple than the story, which is thus summed up. “I have learned,” says Tolstoi, “that man lives not by care for himself, but by love.... I know that God has given life to men, and wishes them to live. Now I know another truth: the truth that God does not wish man to live apart; therefore He has not revealed to them what each needs for himself. He wishes them to live together, and therefore reveals to each the others’ wants.” The translation seems to be very close to the original.

THE LEGEND OF CEREALINE.

“On the border of the forest,
Underneath the fragrant pine-trees,
Sat the old men and the warriors
Smoking in the pleasant shadow.

* * * * *

And whene’er some lucky maiden
Found a red ear in the husking,
Found a maize-ear red as blood is,
‘Nushka!’ cried they altogether,
‘Nushka! you shall have a sweetheart.’”

HEALTHY were those red-skin warriors,
Old, but full of robust vigor;
They were in the best of humor
For they had enjoyed their dinner,
Which had gratified the palate,
Being chiefly Flakes of Ceres,
Served up as an Indian pudding.
Such a wholesome feast imparted
Energy and cheerful spirits,
Therefore did those ancient warriors
Laugh and joke the lucky maiden.
“Nushka! you shall have a sweetheart,”
Cried they; “you shall have a husband
To provide for and to cook for;
You shall make him cakes and muffins
Of white Cerealine to please him,
So that he will love you always.
You shall send and get a Cook Book,
From Columbus, Indiana,
That will teach you all the uses
Of the Flakes, in soups or puddings,
Bread or cakes or pies, or what not.
Nushka! you will both be happy!”

———————

The series of twelve original pictures, illustrating
“Hiawatha’s Fasting,” of which the above is a small
example, will be mailed to any one who will mention
where this advertisement was seen and enclose a
two-cent stamp for postage to the Cerealine Mfg. Co.,
Columbus, Indiana.

“Cerealine Flakes” for sale by all grocers at twenty cents a package.

LACES, fine embroideries, and other articles too delicate to bear rubbing, may be cleaned satisfactorily and without injury, if you will pare into fine shavings one-fourth of a cake of Ivory Soap, which dissolve in a quart of hot water; fill a glass fruit jar half full of the solution and add the article to be cleaned, then shake well. Rinse in the same manner in clear, luke-warm water.

A WORD OF WARNING.

There are many white soaps, each represented to be
“just as good as the ‘Ivory’;” they ARE NOT, but like
all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable
qualities of the genuine. Ask for “Ivory” Soap and
insist upon getting it.
