“LAST-DAY TOKENS”—A Delay
THE large amount of particular work incident to the preparation and printing of the twenty-four color plates in “Last-day Tokens” has delayed its publication somewhat. At this writing the book is on the press, and orders will be filled very soon. To those who may not be acquainted with this remarkable work we will say that the “Last-day Tokens” is a description of the many strange sights seen in the heavens during the past fifty years or more. It is written by Eld. J. N. Loughborough, who has been an eye-witness to many of the scenes he describes. The book will contain more than 200 pages. Some of the plates will be printed in as many as six colors. The book will be bound in paper. The price is 25 cents, postpaid. “UNCLE BEN’S COBBLESTONES”
TO THOSE of our readers who have Our Little Friend in their homes Uncle Ben and his Cobblestones need no introduction. Uncle Ben’s delightful way of talking about the common things, their origin and uses, have gained for his stories a wide circle of interested readers. These readers will be glad to know that all of the articles which have appeared in Our Little Friend, and many more pictures than were printed with them, are now being bound in a beautiful book. The book will be called “Uncle Ben’s Cobblestones.” The cover of the book, the frontispiece, and the title page are all beautifully printed in colors. An excellent table of contents will enable the reader to at once turn to any one of the many “common things” described in its 222 pages. Some of these “common things” are as follows:— Air and Water,
