“Nuts for Boys to Crack.”

To while away an hour or more occasionally on a long winter evening in the social circle at nut-cracking is usually accounted rare sport for the “boys.” And who, indeed, among the older ones, cannot call to mind many a happy hour thus spent, before the days of hygiene dawned upon us?

But alas! for hygiene! We now learn that it is not for our health to eat nuts between meals, or in the evening, as we were wont to do. But although we have learned this important fact, we take pleasure in announcing, that we have for sale at this office “nuts for boys to crack” that are perfectly hygienic and may be partaken of without the least harm at any hour of the day.

Lest any of our readers should entertain a wrong idea of the “nuts” we advertise, we would say that we refer to a most excellent book for boys, published by the American Tract Society, entitled, “Nuts for boys to crack.” J. M. A.
