Finally, we have an assortment of the same kind from
Messrs. Marcus Ward and Co. Among these, ornamental reward-cards for school children are a noticeable feature. Some of these are gracefully decorated with pictures of flowers, &c. ; one side pre- sents a text, the other a hymn. There are calendars, too, of various kinds, one of the most attractive being The Shakespeare Calendar, with a daily quotation. The Sundial Calendar, with its postal information on either side, is remarkably convenient. We must specially mention a card which gives "The Coins of the New Testament" in admirably imitative relief. The " mite " (lepton), the " farthing " (why not assarion instead of chalcous, the latter not being a New Testament word ?), the "penny" (denarius), and the shekel are given. This will be found helpful by teachers.
