Once Popular Music to Give

Sc HAVE about twenty sheets OF popular

any one is welcome by paying the postage.
Now for few questions. Can any one tell
me of what photograph records are COM
posed--I mean of what material? Was
Pennsylvania a slave State? Is 1t proper
TO speak of this as a Southern State? Has
any one a map. large or small. Of North
America. showing Mexico and the Panama
canal. that he or she can give me? would

ful for the gift of geography.
MRS. B. S. s."
r Your first query is respectfully referred
to our chemists and those Interested in the
manufacture of the records. In 1890 there
were slaves in every State In the Union,
with the exception of Massachusetts, and
Maine, which was a part of Massachusetts.
BY the process of gradual emancipation
slavery was abolished in the Northern and
Eastern States. but in 1870 there were still
81 old slaves In Pennsylvania. Pennsyl'
vania has never been reckoned a Southern
State. 1t ranks among the Eastern States.
Your requests are commended to the notice
OF students of geography.

every woman to the fact that the time for
