Oar attention has been called tea H*w cooking utensil, recently Invented, which makts baking a pleasure, Instead of a dreaded necessity; the inventor •# which has conferred an everlasting blessing open every housekeeper. Wo refer to the Patent Centennial Cake and Bread Pan, with which by slaiply raising a hook, yoa can remove the Bides of the pan from the cake Instantly, without breaking or Injuring it in the least* thus enabling you to Ice and frost It while warm. To remove the tub* in the center, insert a knife in the slot In the top of the tube, and simply give it a half turn, aud it will dropout. It Is also provided with a slide on the bottom, so that, when youiemove the tube, you can close the hole, making a pan with plain bottom, for baking jelly and plain cakes, pudding, bread, etc., thus practically giving you two pans for the price or one, These Centennial Cake Pan is highlv recommended by the ladies as being the best and most convenient pan ever in­ troduced.

"It is art exceedingly graphic a-xount of a ' brief prison life. Mr. i'ayne certainly has the fiiculty of making others'seeand feel asliehas felt and seen, and wo find food for amusement ae well as sympathy in.i^Ie piLsou walls." (iw'om Ihs Jti'tcy Clfff 'Evening Journal,) "Mr. Seth Wilbur Payne's new book *Bchind the Bnrs,' is unquestionably the most thrill­ ing work that has come from the press of this country during the present vear. It abounds In pathos, and it is impossible for any one to read some of its chapters with dry eyes. We have no doubt this work will meet with a large sale and thousands of spell-bound reader*. {from the 2?ew York Herald.) "It is a very interesting book and giTet some hints of prison life which are valuable." -_j {From the New York Mar) "Prison literature includes many of the greatest monuments of human genius. Bun- van wrote his 'Pilgrim's Progress* while in Jail; Raleigh composed his 'Historv of the World' in prison, and Seth Wilbur Payne wrote 'Behind the Bars' while in the same unpleas- Ant predicament While employed in scrub- lung the pavements and sweeping the floors of his temporary abode, he managed to interview as many of nis companions as possible, and wroteout their stories for thisbook. The work is unique in style as well as subject, and tells many wholesome truths." ' (From the New York World.) "Its matter is interesting and the story well told." (From the Jertey City Herald.) "Behind the Bars' is a thorough-going, de­ tailed and nervous account of the author's own experience, his trials and hardships, ani those of other prisoners during his confine- ment of eleven weeks in the Albany Peniten. tiary. Mr. Pavne was sent to prison for one of the noblest acts of man, defending a betrayed and ruined woman from the assaults of a cor. rupt eourt." (From (he Hoboken N. J. New*,) "The author presents his views with such a charming and inimitable frankness and good humor, that we are spell-bound while uprus- lng his prison experiences. It has all tne vi­ vacity of a novel, glowing with life an4r»d«»ftt with beauty," (From the New York Evening Mail.) "Mr. Payne's new book is very interesting end should be generally read. His story and those of other prioners whom he interviewed are directly and forcibly told." It is published in handsome style bo O. R BRICCS A CO., 141 Eighth Street ST. Y PRICE ONE DOLLAR.
