It must be remembered that the new

Ksarly every one Is looking around J eat

Indeed, according te my Ideas, the very
urettlcat by far. and the one that comes near

little book that has Just come from the

dils. When my eyes tint rested en 1', It
gave me a start of genuine pleasure. It was
as though I had heard the first spring note et
the blue bird, or had caught the first faint
breath of the real daffodil's delicate perfume
In my garden. I don't believe even the
fastidious firm which publishes se many of
the best and most perfect specimens of Ameri
can book making, has ever produced any
thing mere thoroughly artistic and exquisitely
twantlful. Round in narehmant and daffodil

the gilt top and gilt back and aide titles, the
combination and proportion of colors alone
are adellght te the eye,in artist's study, mere
truly beauUlul they seemed te me than all
the elaborately designed and colored cards
dlsplsyed en every hand.
Net the harmony of colors alone, however,
lslhe book's chief claim te artlitle beauty;
but the farther harmony of this exquisite
binding with the character, the tone, the
daffodil perfume, of the contents, from cover
te cover breathing a lowly clinging trait, a
brightly up looking hope, a warm, sunshiny
love, a real Eatter spirit It Is because of
this spin', suggested by the growth, color,
perfume and whole bJiug el the daffodil, that
the Uermans with their aeep poetic lnslgh
have name! it Osier btume, the Kaater
flower. And Mr? Whitney has caught these
suggestions and sweetly expressed tneni In
her motto poem, or dedicatory lines "Te the
Wayrarer," as delicately gracelul as any
thing In the velume:
M Straight te the shlnlne henrei the daffodil
llercup detb held ;
Asking and gxtberlng the sworn lljhtnntU

As I handled and caressed this lovely vel
nme, for it is a pleasure merely te tee Its
beauty, nud leel Its soft, creamy paper, en
which the letters He like flowers in a bed of

ploring that te many still waste their money
en mere ephemeral picture cards, when for
leas money (tl 25) thsn any decent Easter
card costs, they could get such lasting
"thing of beauty," whose presentation te a
friend would be a gift of permanent value,
and whose enjoyment would ever remind
the recipient year In and year out or the geed
sense as well as the esteem of the donor. 1
am sure, however, that aa we grew In knowl
edge, and aa our tastes and sensibilities be
come mere refined, books like this one, geed
and beautiful books el every kind, will come
te be appreciated among ui mere and mere
aa the most sensible, useiul and appropriate
gifts en all occasions where friendship's offer
ings are called for. 1 am glad te knew that
already this is the case among the meat In
telligent and cultured people. And it Is it
self a chief meana of spreading intelligence
and culture among all classes.
Tms latter, by the way, Is one of tbe most
Important alma te be kept before us here at
Lancaster, and especially Just at this stage of
our city's progress. It is, 1 think, evident
te all that there has recently been a great
and most wholesome awakening among our
business men. The reorganization and liveli
ness of our Beard of Trade Is patent proof of
It ; net the cause of It, but a causally reacting
effect et the newly awakened public spirit,
Lancaster It probably about entering upon a
career of unprecedented eemmerciar and la
duetrtal growth and presperty. Everyone
must rejoice In this, and certainly none deee

gitd turprlse te mere than one of the
delighted auditors. Te me It was a revela
tion of undreamed of ability and talent la enr

premise of areat thlnn ler the future.
Besides this, of course, it wss a meat grace

that the highest class or music can be under

All medical autbetltlee agree that catarrh la
no mere nor leu than an inflammation of the
Hale mnmbrane of the nasal air passages.
Nasal catarrh and all catarrhal affections of the
head are net diseases of the blced, and It is a se
rious mistake te treat them as such. Me consci
entious physician ever attempts te de se. it u
held by eminent medical men that sooner or
later a speclfle will be found ler every disease
from which humanity suaers. The facts Justify
us tn assuming that ter catarrh at least a posi
tive cure already exists In Bly's Cream BUm.

FINGER-MARKS and dust en chairs, etc., cannot be removed
by the use of a chamois alone, se if your furniture has a dingy
appearance you can easily restore its freshness by washing with
Ivery Seap and luke-wann water (under no circumstances should
het water be used) ; use a soft brush te wash out the carving, etc.
Dry with a soft cloth and then rub well with a chamois, and your
furniture will "leek like new."
A WORD OF WARNING.
There ire many white seipi, each represented te be "lust at geed at the ' Ivery t"
they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeit!, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities
of the genuine. Ask for "Ivery" Seap and Insist upon getting it.
