Uncle Ben’s Cobblestones. Familiar talks with boys and girls about the common articles of everyday use, such as air, water, sunshine, fire, smoke, glass, coal, salt, paper, matches, etc. Uncle Ben has a very pleasing way of telling about the origin and use of these various things. There is a ray of sunshine streaming throughout the book, and yet it does not touch the fiction so prevalent in books for children. The purpose of the book, aside from the useful information given, seems to be soul-culture, for we observe on every page a moral fragrance that will impress young minds in the right way. Uncle Ben tells about more than one hundred different things in all, and intersperses with happy thoughts that bring good cheer to young and old. 221 pages, price, $1.00. Address this office.
