A Convenient Calendar and
Stand.


The most convenient, valuable and novel
business, table or desk calendar for 1889, Is
the Columbia Bicycle Calendar and Stand
issued by the Pope Mfg. Co., OF Boston,
Mass. The calendar proper Is In the form
of n mad containing 98b leaves, one for each
day IN the year, to be torn Oft daily. The
leaves are b1Sx2s4 inches, q portion of each
Is left blank for memoranda, ana as the
leaves are not pasted, but sewed at the ends,
blank, can be exposed whenever desired.
The pad rests upon portable stand, which
takes up very little room, and when placed
n on the desk or writing table, the entire
surface OF the date leaf Is brought directly,
and left constantly, before the eye, furnish
ing date and memoranda, impossible to be
overlooked. The upper portion q the
word "Columbia" In raised letters at the
top, the whole being handsomely gilded,
and practically indestructible. Besides the
month, the DAYS of the month and week.
the number of the days Of the year passed
and to come, are specified; and upon each
slip appear quotations pertaining to cycling
from leading publications and prominent
writers on both sides of the ocean. AL
though this S the fourth year of the Column
bia Calendar, the quotations are fresh and
new, and mention the notable events In
cyclng, opinions of medical authorities and
oil clergymen and other professional gen.
tlemen, the rights of cyclers upon the road,
cycling statistics, records, the benefits Of
tricyciing to ladies, advice about costumes,
directions for road making and much other
matter interesting to the cycler in particu-
lar, and to the public in general. A depar--
ture is made this year in that portion of
the quotations pertain to. typewriting and
stenography, with occasional reference to
the new Becker typewriter made by the
POpe Mfg. Co. The information contained
on the calendar, would, if placed in book
type. make fair sized volume.

The walls are covered with velvet paper of
bright tintS and gilt, in panels which are
surrounded by neat gilt moulding, the
frieZe work being match for the paper.
The ceiling is very handsome, the centre
piece being fine work of art. 1t consists

filled with wreaths and gilt stripes. The
walls of the sitting room are covered with
heavy gilt Japan paper, the centre piece of
the ceiling being of a unique design. The

sheathlng has been reprinted re idish
brown, and a new chair rail added, above
which the sheathing has been painted slate
color, making a fine effect. The tables

and the cushions recovered, making them
as good as new. Each table has been sur
rounded by neat border, which matches
the carpet, manufactured from a special
design by William J.. HOgg The ceiling

The Christmas exercises at each of
the churches passed off very pleasantly.
The members of the Sunday Schools
carried out their part of the program
in manner that reflects much credit
upon themselves and teachers. At the
Methodist church fine tree placed in
the auditorium lowered to the ceiling
laden with many presents both useful
and ornamental. A large audience fill
ed the house and listened with evident
pleasure to the various songs and reci-
tatlons before the fruits of the tree
were distributed. At the Congrega-
tional church vestry substantial tree
filed with bright colored books, toys,
etc., made the children's eyes glisten
with delight: After some excellent
singing by the children and choir, and
remarks by the pastor, Santa Claus
made his appearance and ordered the
presents to be distributed, which was
done to the evident satisfaction of all
concerned. The fine weather added
much to the enjoyment of the occasion.

The largest circulation in New En-
gland has been accorded to the Boston
Daily Globe because of it's merit as a
newspaper. 1t meets the wants and
tastes of evsry member of the family,
particularly the ladies and young folks.
In addition to all the news the Daily
Globe prints dozen or more of con-
tinued stories during the year, which
practically give the ladies and young
folks that number of books, which are
worth more than the price of the paper
By general request some of the great
stories of eminent writer's will be add
ed to the new ones by the present
leading novelists. On Saturday of
this week Charles Reade's "Foul Play"
will be begun in the Daily Globe. The
