Teachers! Teachers!!—Everybody!!! McCabe’s “Pictorial History of the World” is literally a library in itself, and is one of the most valuable works ever offered to the public.

Read one of the many thousands of highly complimentary notices that this work has received: “We received your “Pictorial History of the World,” but it so far exceeds our anticipations that we wish to secure another coay. We will give you a column and a half review, and insert the advertisement several times, or anything else that is reasonable, as we must each have a copy. It is one of the very best books ever published.” The publishers have placed the price so low that all can secure a copy. Don’t fail to procure it of Mr. W. 8.

This pavement is a Portland Cement Betun, which, though soft and plastic when laid, solidifies into a stone of great hardness, surpassing many of the best natural ston?, in strength, density and durability. It is moulded cn the walks in blocks of any form, size and thickness, which do not combine and Interlock, and may, if desii ed, be taken up and relaid like ordinary flagstone. From its plastic nature it may be laid on curved and irregular walks, with the same facility as on straight ones, and without that waste of material and extra exiiense that pertains to the fitting of stone. It may be made al most as white as marble, or tinted to imitate blue, brown and other sand stone. It is rick, elegant, durable and cheap. The most desirable pavement yet introduced for either private grounds or publi sidewalks. It has a wide and varied application, and numerous testimonials can be furnished from those who have practically tested its merits. Walks that have been in use five years are as level, sound and perfect to-day as when just finished, and to all appearance will last a century. Inquiries and orders respectfully solicited.
