The Companion Calendar.

1t is said that the expense of making the
Companion Art Calendar for 1897 was so
great that had it been published in the
usual quantity it could not be sold for less
than one dollar. -Four beautiful female
figures are reproduced on four folding
pages. Each figure is Autographed in
twelve ColOrs, being true reproduction of
its excellence of design and charm of col
or and tone. The size of each of the four
folding pages is 1912 by inches.
1t is by far the best piece of color work
the Companion has ever offered Both
as calendar and as gem of the litho-
grapher's art, it is so attractive that it be-
comes a valuable addition to the mantel
or comfortable of any room. 1t is given
free to all new subscribers sending Sl.75 to
the Companion for the year 1897, who re-
ceive also the paper free from the time the
subscription is received till January !, 1897
Celebrating in 1897 its seventy -first birth
day, the Companion offers its readers
many exceptionally brilliant features.
Fully two hundred of the most famous
men and women of both continents have
contributed to the next wears volume OF

A Vegetable Pistol.

The most remarkable instance of
this method of scattering the seeds
shooting them from the pod) is at
forded by Hura crepitans, hand
some tree, native of the forests of
South Africa. The curious fruit of
this tree is a somewhat fattened,
deeply furrowed or futed body,
made up of a circle of many cells,
each containing one seed. When the
seeds areVipe, the cells open and ex-
pei them. with a loud report, like the
crack of a pistol. Hence the fruit is
sometimes called the monkeys din
ner bell "
Stories have been told of hura
fruits being placed in desks and sub
sequently opening and disoharging
their seeds with such violence as to
break ink wells and even to crack
the wood of the desk Thomas II.

Try 1t and See.

Whatever may be said about the publ
cations of Rev. Ir1 X. Hicks by those who
do not fully understand the facts, there is
no denying the truth that his paper and
Almanac have come to stay. His Splen-
did journal, WORD AND WORKS, is now
entering its tenth year, largely increased
in circulation and in every way improved,
until it deserves the national reputation it
has attained. His 1897 Almanac Is now
ready and is by far the finest and most
beautiful he has yet issued 1t contains
los pages, including cover artistiCally
printed i'll Colors, and is filled from back
to back with just what is wanted in every
shop, office and home in America. One
feature of the Almanac for 1897 is series
of II orr ginal, beautifully engraved star
maps, with explanatory chapters, which
could not be bought for less than five dol
lars i'll any work on astronomy. As Mr..
Hicks has so correctly and faithfully
warned the public if coming droughts,
floods, cold waves, Billiards, tOrnadOes
and cyclones, in the years passed, aside
from the other varied and splendid feat
ures of his paper and Almanac, these CON
sideratiOnS salone should prompt every
fanil to subscribe at once for 1897. The
Almanac is only 25Cts. copy. WORD
AND WORKS is one dollar a year, and a
copy of the fine Almanac goes as prem
ium with every yearly subscription.
