THE CINCIIS^ATI WEEK!one of our prominent literary papers then spoke thus: “There is one boy with whom wo sliouIlt;t be gM (tern-boy, ff ono thcro is, who did not hspiwn to read ‘a Jolly FelloiV' ship’ in St. Nicholas, and so comes to it with nnsatiatcd appetite, as to a trcsh treat, lie must bo a (lull boy indeed if he docs not find tlio book delightful; its tone is so thoroughly crisp and boy-like, its incidents (all mil, none of your thin fairy diet) are so brightly entcrtaiu-ing; and everywhere appears that under sparkle of humor, in which Mr. Stoektou seems to move and have his being, as in a native element.”“Happiness of Childhood,” byANNIE BUGKLAND, also appeared this year. Miss Dockland ha9 written several books for children. Her most noted work is “The Story of English Literature.” She conducts a large school at Reading, England, and prepares girls for the colleges for women at Cambridge and Oxford.Possibly you have read a “History of Egypt” by Clara Erskine Clement. Well, that liistorv was published this same year. The book was uot written specially for young folks but of all the histories of that country this probably is best adapted for young readers, for Mrs. Clement, or Mrs. Wators as it is now, well knows how to write for boys and girls.In 1881, her hnsband, James H. Clement, died, and the next year she was married to Mr. Waters, of the Bostou Advertiser. She now lives in New York City. She was born in St Louis August 28, fifty-one years ago. AmongOTHEB BOOKSfor young folks that appeared this year were Kate Greenaway’* Birthday Book, with verses by Mra. Salc-Barker; Miss Alcott’s Jack and Jill; the last volume of Mrs. Moulton’s Bed Time Stories; Hezekiah Butter-worth’s Zizxag Journeys in Classic Lands; Japanese Fairy Land, by W. E.

They hare advertised tneir pfmmct at “absolutelv pure;” all tbe time using a cheap poison, unture’s sickening drug—Ammonia. Tbe way they have imposed upon people has been by ’sleek advertising. The public have been caught by this large advertising, not knowing that their powder contained an animul excrement. Lately came forward the great chemists of this country uud sniu: “Tliisms wrong, this baking powder is polluted with an excrement. Nature does not approve it. What has passed from tbe system should not re-enter at lood. Our 'amity physicians say: “Tbetale of the excremeulions suhstauee—Ammonia—in a food preparation is a horror, and should be made a state offense.When the lirst thunder of the accusation came, they tried the plan of indifference. Now, wounded, they speak. To contradict tbe great chemists? No. They dare notprinciple of manure. Arraigned, accused, scientifically indicted for an# outrageous tresspass upon public innocence and public decency, they make no response, though their accusers occupy the highest chairs of sclentitic learning in tbe United States.Lately they have been spending some of tbe money accumulated by practicing a dangerous deception upon society In newspaper speech. Cunningly publishing articles under the heading of “Baking Powder Tramps, “Poison at the Front Door, “Worse Than Sneak Thieves. etc., and palming them off as articles written by the editors. Is not the public tired of all dealing with a company that has so long sold them a baking powder containing a disgusting drug?On the other hand the chemists certify that “Dr. Price’s Cream Bakins Powder is free from Ammonia, free from Lime, free from Alum, free from any ingredients not harmless and wholesome, or not found In the loods provided by natuiTj and theue iuuu* |nuviutj«i ujr uMburty mm memost perfect made.
