in the cliffs above me; it was answered

of balloons were hidden about among the
rocks on either side, and were slowly
swinging themselves down to bar the

be useless. l should only be torn to

Many stationcrs-who are not our
agents-when you ask for Leon Isaacs &
Co.'s Glucinum Pens will tell you that
they neither keep them or know anything
OF them, or that they can sell you as good

believe them. They cannot do it, and If
they do not know 1t they should. Pens
Of other make that try to compete with
the GlucinHm are invariably sold for So,
$3.50 and $500 per gress, and these same
pens lack the foremost quality Of our
goods, viz: Durability, Uniformity and

the market can equal the Glucinum.

Goldfish that swim In globes Of

They may be taught, when kept in a

Home OF the Jerseys.

Jersey Island, the place from which we
obtain the ~favorite Jersey COW, is a small
spot of land. II squared, it would be 6ss
miles each way. Yet this little island is
the home Of $4,000 human beings, and
has over 1900 cattle, and has had that
number for the last twenty years, for the
census Of 1861 gives it 1907. And yet
they export on an average annually over
1900 head. Roughly speaking, on this
island they manage to support ten head
OF kline to every acre, while in England
there is only n head to every ten acres.
Therefore, in proportion to its size Jer-
sey exports as many cattle every year as
England contains. If England were to
export cattle at the same rate her whole
stock would be swept away in a single
wear.
