plications were made Saturday in person
and by mail for the first number, but
that number has not yet been received,
although it is on the way. Those who

does the magnificent scenery that is to

of twenty portfolios of sixteen en- grav-

For several weeks we have been offer
ing the readers of the Maine State
PRESS portfolios of the Holy Land. We
have had several requests from readers
of the Daily PRESS that we would give
them an opportunity to procure sets of
this work and we have decided to give
them such a chance The work is called
"The Holy Land Photographed" and is
published by the Globe Bible company
of Philadelphia, the publishers of
Shepp's photographs of the World" and
the Worlds Fair Photographed. The
illustrations, although smaller than
those in America Photographed" and
Famous Paintings" are very fine and
are similar to those in the publications
of the same house above mentioned. 1t
is the first album of Palestine photo
graphs and it will BIZ valuable work
for Bible students and Sunday school
teachers. The illustrations of the temples
in part one are made on most novel
plan and convey better idea OF their
structure than columns of description.
The contents of the first three numbers
will be found in our advertising columns.
Two of the parts we have on hand and
number three will be ready later in the
week.
All three of the above works can be
obtained on the coupon plan, one coupon
