EXPLANATION.-Fig. 1 represents a top view of the cover. Fig. 2, a top view of the well without the cover. Fig. 3, a bottom view of the cover. Fig. 4, an edge view of the cover. Fig. 5, a view of the well complete. Fig. 6, a key to screw on and unscrue cover. The Ink well (Fig. 5] is inserted into the desk through a hole bored for that purpose, so that the flange, [which is of considerably larger diameter than the body,] rests upon the suface of the desk, and is secured in place by screws inserted in countersunk holes. The flange of the well has turned down on its outer edge a lip. which alone rests on the desk, leaving a space within, below the interior part of the flange. This space is provided for the purpose of allowing room in which pins or studs projecting downward from the lower side of the cover may freely move. The pins have enlarged ends, or heads, [as seen in Fig. 4,] and are first inserted through apertures made large enough to admit them freely in the flange of the well, as represented in cut [Fig. 2]. From these apertures extend concentrically in opposite directions, curved slots, just wide enough to allow the necks of the pins to pass freely, [as seen in Fig. 2]. The lower edges of these slots have a slight inclination downward from the apertures, so that as the cover is turned round the heads of the pins become wedged against the inclined surfaces, and draw the cover closely down upon the well on which it is made to fit tightly. The cover is fastened by means of a key, [Fig. 6). The above cuts represent the best school ink well in use. It is neat, convenlent, cheap and durable. The iron well, (Fig. 2,) when fastened to the desk by two common screws, never has to be removed. Into this is set a glass well to hold the ink. This glass only has to be taken out to clean the well. The cover, (Fig. 4,) is easily fastened to the well by a single turn of the key, and when fastened can only be removed with the key, which should be kept by the teacher or janitor. (It will not be necessary to remove the cover oftener than the well needs cleaning). The pen hole is covered by a small cap turning horizontally, as seen in Fig. 5. By this simple arrangement, we have a well that will not get out of order. It will not corrode. It cannot upset. It cannot be made noisy by turning on or off the cap. It cannot burst and spill the ink; nor can it be removed and lost by the pupils. It can be used in the holes made for other wells. It is economical, as the expenditure for each pupil (where double desks are used) is less than fifteen cents for his whole school-going time. Price of Ink Wells per dozen, $3.50; necessary keys furnished gratis. Address, HENRY M. SHERWOOD, No. 21 Lombard Block, Chicago, Ill.

Most of the Books of the ECLECTIC EDUCATIONAL SERIES are well known to the public. Subjected to the most rigid criticisms of our best Educators, and to the severest tests of practical use in thousands of schools, they have been constantly increasing in popular favor, until to-day, when they are more widely used and more highly commended than any other Series published in America. They have received the cordial indorsement of the most intelligent and successful teachers throughout the Union. They combine the rare advantages of superior intrinsic merit, admirable gradation, typographical beauty, cheapness, and extensive adoption and use. The Eclectic Series embraces, MCGUFFEY'S PRIMARY SCHOOL CHARTS; a Series of Six Numbers: to accompany McGuffey's New Eclectic Readers. They combine both the Alphabetic and Word Methods of teaching children to read, and furnish material for thorough drills upon all the elementary sounds of the language, and upon the various difficult and unusual consonant combinations. MCGUFFEY'S NEW SPELLING-BOOK is unsurpassed by any Speller published. DEWOLF'S INSTRUCTIVE SPELLER is a thorough and complete work on orthography, pronunciation, and analysis of words. MCGUFFEY'S NEW SERIES embraces many features of excellence, calculated to render it one of the most valuable contributions to the Educational Literature of the day. The testimony of the best teachers of the country goes to show that McGUFFET'S NEW READERS are admirably simple, progressive, and complete, and unexceptionable in their adaptation to school instruction. They are unquestionably the best, the cheapest, and the most popular School Readers published. HEMANS' YOUNG LADIES' READER has been prepared with especial reference to the wants of Female Schools and Seminaries. ELOCUTION. MCGUFFEY'S NEW JUVENILE SPEAKER, MCGUFFEY'S SPEAKERS embrace a great number and variety of choice selections for reading and declamation. KIDD'S ELOCUTION and VOCAL CULTURE is an excellent manual for instruction and class drill, and is highly popular wherever used. ARITHMETIC. RAY'S PRIMARY ARITHMETIC, OR FIRST BOOK, RAY'S KEY TO HIGHER ARITHMETIC, Few school-books ever published have received a wider or more cordial indorsement from prominent and influential educators than the works of Dr. Ray. Wherever used they are liked. Those who have thoroughly tested their merits in the class-room unite in pronouncing them superior to all other similar works. EVANS' SCHOOL GEOMETRY presents in concise form the leading propositions and truths of the science. Probably no series of Grammars ever attained a more general, and, at the same time, so approved and firm an introduction into the best schools of the country, as the works of Prof. Pinneo. They are books of rare merit. Those who have used them longest like them best. The thorough test of the class-room reveals their superior excellence for purposes of school instruction. SCHOOL MUSIC. YOUNG SINGER, PART I, YOUNG SINGER, PART II, 16 Mo. 16 Mo.
