The Rev. Irl R. Hicks Almanac.

There is no comparison between former editions, and this splendid Al manac for 1900. now ready. Printed in beautiful colors, on much finer paper, its l96 pages are packed with invalu- able information on storms, astronomy and meteorology. It is illustrated with nearly POO finest half tones and other engravings. This suberb book would sell anywhere for fifty cents. but 1t costs only D cents copy, and every subscriber to Rev. Irl R. Hicks now famous paper, "Word and Works" at $l.OO a year, receives this elegant All manac as premium. "WOrd and Works" is a recognized leader among the best family and scientific journals, while nothing of its kind can compare with the Hicks Almanac. One dollar year is a nominal price for such unique and useful publications. Pro- lessor Hicks has justly, and of neces- sity, withdrawn his storm and weather forecast from all free almanacs, having generously given his time and labor free for nearly twenty years.
