It may seem an impossible task to write the history of the United States, making it valuable as a history and at the same time interesting as a romance; but the plan adopted by the author in this series is both practical and novel. From Columbus down to the present day, if divided into the ordinary period of human life, makes twelve lifetimes or ages; and by studying each of these lifetimes or ages, one may discover that the spirit of the age or time changes in about forty years. The author having deduced these facts by careful study of history, gives to cach period a separate existAil its departments (some 50) are manned by pro-ence in the form of a complete story, and yet cleverly links them all together to make the whole fessional gentlemen eminent in their respective spe- series a correct and united history, and at the same time a fascinating romance.

This work bristles with points of advantage, some of which are, perhaps, of more value and importance to the reader than any of the above.

"A remarkable contribution to American Literature."-Current Literature, New York.

"We have perused the 350 pages of this exquisite volume [Columbia "] with an interest which we had "Of exceeding great interest to all readers.". St. thought could not again be awakened by its subject. Louis Republic.

"Mr. Musick stands in the front rank of prominent American authors."-Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

"Imagination enters into the narrative, and reports conversations at courts, at convents, and on shipboard, but it plays no pranks with biography and history, and it takes no liberties with accepted facts. It makes on the mind no erroneous or extravagant impressions. Whatever characters or scenes are the creation of the author, they in no wise discredit the genuineness of the historical annals, which are presented with conscientious fidelity."-Home Journal, New York.

It is full of charming matter, and must find entranced readers among both the old and the young.

All American boys and girls ought to be especially well informed about Columbus and his discoveries, and now is a good time to put such a volume as this into their hands."-The Church Union, New York.

PURCHASING BONDS

Are issued in sums of $10 each. They yield ten (10) per cent., payable quarterly in any of our publications. The principal is payable in cash any time the holder may elect, we reserving the right to redeem in cash at the end of each year, if we so elect. BETTER YET: there are ten dollars' worth of principal coupons attached to each bond, which the holder can clip and use for purchasing any of our books or periodicals, or any other book kept for sale in New York. These coupons are of convenient denominations, ranging from one cent up to one dollar, so he can always make exact change for any purchase. AND STILL BETTER: the using up the coupons for purchases does not stop the 10 per cent. interest during the year.

We are now ready to fill orders for such bonds, in amounts to suit, in multiples of $10. Interest begins the day we get the money. Address, FUNK & WAGNALLS CO., 18 and 20 Astor Place, N. Y.

Remember, Sweet Home" Family Soap is an extra fine pure Soap made from refined tallow and vegetable oils. On account of its firmness and purity each cako will do double the work of common cheap soaps.

OUR COMBINATION BOX contains a large supply of the best Soaps and finest Toilet Articles made, and will give satisfaction to the most fastidious person. We have been manufacturing Soaps for over 17 years, and operate one of the largest and best equipped plants in this country, having a capacity of fifteen million pounds a year.

The "CHAUTAUQUA DESK'

is a "thing of beauty" and will be "a joy forever" to all who possess one. It is artistically designed, complete in appointments, a model piece of furniture, and affords what nine out of ten homes lack-a suitable and convenient place for writing letters, studying, drawing, etc., etc., which will be used and appreciated by every member of the family.

It is made of SOLID OAK varnished and hand-rubbed finish, with brass trimmings. It stands five (5) feet high, is two and a half (24) feet wide, and ten and a half (1) inches deep.

It is a perfect and complete desk, and also has three roomy book-shelves, a top shelf for bric-a-brac, seven pigeon-holes for papers, compartments for letter-paper, ink, etc. When placed in your home, filled with books which you prize, and ornamented with the gifts of friends, it will become a centre of attraction, and you will be grateful to us for adding a new pleasure to your life.

ORDER YOU RUN NO RISK. We do not ask
you to remit in advance, or take any
chances.
TO-DAY
We merely ask permission to
send you a DESK and Combination Box,
and if after 30 days' trial you are fully convinced that
the soap and toilet articles are all we claim, you can then
pay the bill-$10.00. But if you are not satisfied in every
way, no charge will be made for what you have used, and
we will take the box away at our own expense.
