A Notable Book.

We have just received from the pub- • lister a hardy little volume entitled; “Gaskell’s Hand Book of Useful Information.” It contains calculations, trade secrets, rules, business forms, legal items, and statistical tables of practical value for mechanics, farmers lumbermen, bankers, book-keepers, politicians and* all classes of workers in every department of human eftbrt, from the household to the manufactory; and a compilation of facts for ready reference on almost every subject. It is in fact a portable encyclopaedia. No mere valuable book has ever been offered, as it contains so much information of practical value in every day lite. It is.nicely gotten up, and will be sent to any address by mail, postpaid, on receipt of 25 cents, by Geo. W. Ogilvie, publisher, 230 Lake St., Chicago, 111.
