In 1876 "Baby Days" was issued, com
piled from the 81. Nicholas magazine, and
after running through number of edi-
tions the plates have finally been do
stroyed in favor of a new volume of tho
same character, called baby World"
just issued by the Century company,
made up from the very choicest things
for little folks in ten years of 81. Nicholas
The editor, Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge, has
had o field to work in which is not given
to many, and she has fulfilled her task by
presenting for the enjoyment of multi
tudes Of little folk volume Of more than
800 pages crowded with pictures, short
stories (many Of them in large type for
little eyes), bits of quaint rhyme and
charming verse. The funny "Cat Pic
lures" by j. Il. Francis, arc here,
and ]. @. Boards elephant pic
lures, and beautiful coored frontispiece,
and tho Alphabet of Children" and
pages of suggestions for amusing small
boys and girls, and hundreds Of other
things equally attractive. The bright
cover and quaint Innings add much to its
beauty. There is enough enjoyment and
instruction in "Baby World" to satisfy
any one who is in search of such book
and thousands of people will BIO searching
for 1t by the 25th of December. The pub
fishers announce first edition of $4,000.

Edmund Yates, the English journalist
and novelist, though accidentally born in
Edinburgh some ffty-three years ago,
has always resided in London. Having
now reached time of life when in his
judgment fresh air, sunshine, early
hours, and q minimum Of convivial temp
tation are important elements rs regards
happiness and health" he has deter
mined to retire to tho country, and he
has seized the occasion to record his
memories of the varied life OF the great
metropolis as it has como within his own
experience and of the men whom he has
known in social or professional way.
This he has done in work just issued in
this country by Harper & Brothers I'M

city, its occupations, amusemonts, resorts,
and the persons, especially in literature
and public life who have been conspicu-
GUS in it for tho last fifty years. 1t is full
OF amusing anecdotes, and Is written in
the easy aud vivaciOus style with which
those who have read Mr.. Yatoss novels
are familiar. A chapter untitled Under
the Stars and Stripes" gives a spirited
account of the authors lecture tour in
the United States in 1872, and will be of
special interest to American readers, as
will the narrative which Mr.. Yates gives
of his connection with American Journal

Ruth is an cstlmabo girl who loves George
Brand a curate. She Is made to believe that
he has wronged another woman by the man
who desires to win her and her money, and in
womans pique she gives herself to the vii
lain and throws over the curato. From this
moment begins her life Of misery. We follow
her up to London, to see her in poverty, abused
by drunken scamp. Her child dies for want
of medicine. and she is driven, in desperation,
to commit crime TO save its life. Through
out this distressing experience the love and
tenderness of the ourate respectfully follow her
until in the last act, tho coil Of tho law gets
around the villain, and she is finally rescued.
Three times in the play the audience were
aroused TO extraordinary outbursts Of applause
by strong situations OF character aud admirable

THE New York Worlds patent scheme

hCo has collapsed suddenly and COM

SULKY Pillow.

SANDY SPRING, june II, 1884.
Mr.. +. l.. MOORE:
Dear Sir: The Sulky Plow which you
had in the pillow contest at Rockville, on
June 4th, and which bought of you at
that time, has given satisfaction far be-
yond my expectation, as | did not believe
"Casaday' or any other pillow would do
the work as it has done.
was satisfied that the "Casaday" was
laboring under very great disadvantage
on the 4th, and ! have since proved to
my satisfaction that my belief was cor
rect The reason the "Casaday" did not
do better work than any of the others
was because it was not adjusted accord
ing to directions--and not because 10 was
not and as not capable Of doing perfect
toOrk.
On reaching home | readjusted the
pillow and went into the filthiest, stoniest
and toughest ground | could find on the
ground that was thickly grown
up with green weeds ard briers, besides
having old dry weeds on it from four
to eight feet high-but it mads no diff
ference to the "Casaday." as it went
through, leaving the ground thoroughly
and beautifully plowcd, entirely hiding
every bricr and weed, not deviating one
inch either in depth or width of furrow.
and not working my team near as hard
ms my Syracuse Walking Plcw.
do not worry my team by pulling at
the lines and trying to drive them, but
hang them on the left-hand lever, let
ting my horses walk to suit themselves,
only taking my lines in hand at the cor.
ners TO turn.
would not hesitate to enter into con
test with any other pillow in the market,
in any kind or condition of land, for |
know the "Casaday" Sulky Plow will 10
its work absolutely perfect.

WoChu appear 10 every IhTuer VINO owns u
GlLPlN and is familiar with other Sulky
Flows for the truth Of the following claims to
superiority:
!. The pillow iiselfis Of superior turning and
securing qualities, and the most durable Pillow
made.
Q. Its power-lift enables youth and old age
and crippled persons to pillow as we'll as the
best.
3. II requires no expert 10 start or run il,
saving much expense TO dealer and annoy
ance to farmer.
4. The one lever varies the depth, levels the
pillow al all depths, and raises it out of the
ground, while Others cannot be leveled by the
use of two or more levers.
8. The winging device is the simplest and
most effective, holding the pillow in any de-
sired position.
6. The wheels are provided with removal
BILE chilled boxes running on wrought spin
dies, iasuring durability.
7. Our sulky rolling cutters are unequaled
having chilled hubs and malleable bearings,
the most durable, strongest and steadiest.
8. The experience Of farmers and various
thermometer tests have proved the Gilpin
Sulky TO be the lghtest draft of any.
9. While other sulkies having many spices
loose joints, and multiplicity of levers and
changes, soon become worn and rickety, the
Gilpin, compact and strong, will remain firm
for years, and time and use have little or no
effect upon it,
10. There Is not another sulky in the market
that's so highly priced by manufacturers deal
ers and farmers.
ii. 1t has the strongest testimonials from
$4,000 farmers having them in use from one
TO six years. a sale more than twice that OF
any other, and proof that 1t is held in far high
er esteem than any other sulky pillow.
IL. The GILPIN is the CHEAPEST Sulky
Plow made. II costs more 10 build it and
takes more money TO buy II, but it will LAST
LONGER, do better work and more OF il han
any other Sulky Plow.
NONE are found as cheap as the GILPlN
when subjected to the true test of satisfaction
10 using, lightness OF draft, entire freedom
from breakage, and lis great durability.

can be done in day than with any other
