  “On the border of the forest, Underneath the fragrant pine-trees, Sat the old men and the warriors Smoking in the pleasant shadow. ****** And whene’er some lucky maiden Found a red ear in the husking, Found a maize-ear red as blood is, ‘Nushka!’ cried they altogether, ‘Nushka! you shall have a sweetheart.’” Indians sitting by edge of forest HEALTHY were those red-skin warriors, Old, but full of robust vigor; They were in the best of humor For they had enjoyed their dinner, Which had gratified the palate, Being chiefly Flakes of Ceres, Served up as an Indian pudding. Such a wholesome feast imparted Energy and cheerful spirits, Therefore did those ancient warriors Laugh and joke the lucky maiden. “Nushka! you shall have a sweetheart,” Cried they; “you shall have a husband To provide for and to cook for; You shall make him cakes and muffins Of white Cerealine to please him, So that he will love you always. You shall send and get a Cook Book, From Columbus, Indiana, That will teach you all the uses Of the Flakes, in soups or puddings, Bread or cakes or pies, or what not. Nushka! you will both be happy!” ——————— The series of twelve original pictures, illustrating “Hiawatha’s Fasting,” of which the above is a small example, will be mailed to any one who will mention where this advertisement was seen and enclose a two-cent stamp for postage to the Cerealine Mfg. Co., Columbus, Indiana. “Cerealine Flakes” for sale by all grocers at twenty cents a package. woman washing jar Laces, fine embroideries, and other articles too delicate to bear rubbing, may be cleaned satisfactorily and without injury, if you will pare into fine shavings one-fourth of a cake of Ivory Soap, which dissolve in a quart of hot water; fill a glass fruit jar half full of the solution and add the article to be cleaned, then shake well. Rinse in the same manner in clear, luke-warm water. A WORD OF WARNING. There are many white soaps, each represented to be “just as good as the ‘Ivory’;” they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of the genuine. Ask for “Ivory” Soap and insist upon getting it. Copyright, 1886, by Procter & Gamble. Transcriber’s Notes: Obvious punctuation errors repaired.
