"Good stories are accepted to-day as powerful educating agents; notable fiction is appreciated from the pulpit as promptly as from the editor's chair. The art of fiction-writing is generally recognized as a noble one.

"Every healthy mind finds sweetness and comfort in the optimism of genuine romance. This is why not one great master of art in all past ages is found to have been a realist. Genius has no wings save the wings of hope. Somewhere in every great work of art burns the generous fire of faith in the possibilities of human happiness and in the appreciation of heroism by the world. The true theory of fiction is to be found in those works that have charmed the whole world for generations."-The Chautauquan.

The following works of fiction have been freely and highly indorsed by both the religious and the secular press of the country, and are worthy of a place in all choice libraries:

THE

Perfect Calendar.

Those who set to reading "The Lady of Cawn pore" will find it a remarkable book. It deals with human beings, and subjects them to the passions and emotions of their kind. While it is not without sensuousness, it admits of no lasciviousness nor immorality. Its tendency is pure and Christian, not agnostic or depraved. It is neither feeble, neutral tinted, nor conservative, but reFor Every Year of the Christian Era, De-veals the inmost workings of the soul. It deals signed for Practical Every-Day Use. With alluring forms. with idealized realism in its most picturesque and Chronicle of Important Events from 2170 B. C. to A. D. Sept. 19, 1890, etc. (Patented Sept. 1, 1890.)

Regarding the authors, Frank Vincent, the great traveler and writer, has traveled 275,000 miles, written his name in the registers of over 500, hotels. He is gifted in languages and dialects, and is on terms of intimacy with more than 1,000 distinguished foreigners. Among his varied exIperiences he counts interviews and audiences with two Empresses, two Queens, two Princes "It should be hung at the corner of every desk in the Imperial, three Viceroys, four Maharajahs, four country

The Camden Post, N. J, says:

"This Perpetual Calendar commends itself to the commercial world because its accuracy is so evident or so easily proven, and because it is so convenient to use it for daily reference to the current year, and equally so for dates in years recently past, or soon to come, there being in no event a puzzling rule for busy braius to worry over. Although intended primarily for commercial use and for modern dates it will be

found of special value to students of profane and sacred

history."
