# 1922 Encyclopædia Britannica/Bhownaggree, Sir Mancherjee Merwanjee

See also Mancherjee Bhownagree on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
BHOWNAGGREE, SIR MANCHERJEE MERWANJEE (1851- ), Indian parliamentarian, the son of a Parsee merchant of Bombay, was born in Bombay Aug. 15 1851, and began life as a journalist, but when only 22 was appointed, on the death of his father, to succeed to the Bombay agency of the Kathiawar state of Bhavanagar. Called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1885, in the following year the Maharaja appointed him judicial councillor, a post in which he introduced far-reaching reforms. Settling in England in 1891, he actively associated himself with public bodies connected with India. He was the head of the Parsee organization in Europe and chairman of the Indian Social Club. To the Imperial Institute building he contributed, in memory of his only sister, the eastern colonnade leading to the Indian section. His compatriot Dadabhai Naoroji was in the 1892-5 parliament, but Bhownaggree, elected in the latter year in the Unionist interest for N.E. Bethnal Green, was the only other Indian to enter the House of Commons, and the only one to be reëlected (1900). During his ten years there he impressed the House by the vigour and eloquence of his speeches on Indian matters, and he originated and unflaggingly maintained in and out of the House the long battle against the disabilities of Indians in South Africa and other overseas dominions of the Crown. His cogent and detailed statement of the case for Indians in the Transvaal after annexation was the basis of a blue-book (Cd. 2239, 1904), and was sent to Lord Milner by the Colonial Secretary, Alfred Lyttelton, with the observation that he felt much sympathy for the views expressed, and that it would be difficult to give a fully satisfactory answer. The practical result was that the proposals of the High Commissioner were in some important particulars rejected. Bhownaggree was one of the first Indians to press forward the need for technical and vocational education in India side by side with the literary instruction which was too exclusively maintained. He was made a C.I.E. in 1886 and K.C.I.E. in 1897. In early life he wrote a history of the constitution of the East India Company, and made a Gujarati translation of Queen Victoria's Life in the Highlands. During the World War he assisted in repelling German falsehoods regarding British rule in India by means of a widely circulated booklet entitled The Verdict of India.

* CORSET TALK.
* There has recently been a change in corset dressing; the advent of
* '99 finds the new models firmly established and occupying the important
* position formerly held by the extremely long-waist garment which so
* unnaturally compressed the figure.
* The adoption of the medium-length waist means a garment built
* on natural lines, which is very different from the extremely high-bust
* corset with the accentuated long waistline and narrow hips. A corset
* of this kind invariably throws bust and hips out of place.
* The hips should never be compressed. In the average figure they
* should be pronounced. On the fitting of the corset depends the pretty
* curve of hip toward back, which. can only be obtained by the fullness or
* graduation of the hip of the corset being properly placed, which in most
* moderately priced corsets is not considered.
* Every person should know that superfluous flesh, when unequally
* compressed in any part of the body, must go somewhere. The contrast
* between a small waist, protruding hip and too prominent abdomen has
* been long in evidence. While the models which have come into
* vogue have a tendency to bring the hips into prominence, it is done nat-
* urally, by curving the corset up over the hips and permitting the easy,
* graceful swell of the hip to the back, the front of the corset being with-
* out fullness. This draws in the abdomen and elevates the hips.
* It has been noticed since the almost universal sale of medium-length
* corsets that few complaints have been entered by wearers and that
* exchanges have decreased, which fact ought to be appreciated by the
* retailer, who thereby is the gainer in the saving of saleswomen's time
* and markdowns.
* To THE SALESWOMEN: It is easy to give a woman just what she asks
* for, but that is not always serving her with what is best suited to her
* figure or which will produce the effect she is striving for. Or, are you
* considering the interest of your employer, who argues-justly, too that
* anybody can sell what they are asked for ?
* If your customer asks for a 50-cent corset are you doing your duty
* unless you try to sell her a 75-cent or $1 corset by telling her the
* advantages it possesses over the 50-cent article ? It may be that she is
* wearing too short a corset for her figure. The hips may not be the
* right proportion, or the corset is too narrow over the bust, or possibly
* the waist does not curve gracefully. She would appreciate it if you sug-
* gested that better results would be obtained if there was different corset
* treatment. Lots to learn about corsets; lots to say about corsets. It
* rests with you, Miss Saleswoman, to make the corset department the
* most important stock in your store. See what you can do to bring it
* up in '99. 20th Century Models will help you.

# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Salsafy

See also Salsify on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​SALSAFY, or Salsify, Tragopogon porrifolius, a hardy biennial, with long, cylindrical, fleshy, esculent roots, which, when properly cooked, are extremely delicate and wholesome; it occurs in meadows and pastures in the Mediterranean region, and in Britian is confined to the south of England, but is not native. The salsafy requires a free, rich, deep soil, which should be trenched in autumn, the manure used being placed at two spades' depth from the surface. The first crop should be sown in March, and the main crop in April, in rows a foot from each other, the plants being afterwards thinned to 8 in. apart. In November the whitish roots should be taken up and stored in sand for immediate use, others being secured in a similar way during intervals of mild weather. The genus Tragopogon belongs to the natural order Compositae, and is represented in Britain by goat's beard, T. pratensis, found in meadows, pastures and waste places. The flowers close at noon, whence the popular name “John-go-to-bed-at-noon.”
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Saloon

See also State room and Saloon on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​SALOON, a large room for the reception of guests in a mansion. The French salon itself is formed from salle, Ger. Saal, hall, reception-room, represented in Old English by the cognate sæl, hall, properly “abiding-place,” from the root seen in Gothic saljan, to dwell, cf. Russ. selo, village. The word in its proper sense has now a somewhat archaistic flavour, being chiefly used of the 18th century, and it has come principally to be used (1) of the large rooms on passenger steamers; (2) on English railways of carriages for the accommodation of large parties not divided into compartments, and in the United States of the so-called “drawing-room cars”; and (3) of a bar or place for the sale of intoxicants.

​SALSOMAGGIORE, a village of Emilia, Italy, in the province of Parma, 6 m. S.W. of Borgo San Donnino by steam tramway. Pop. (1901) 1387 (village); 7274 (commune). It is situated 525 ft. above sea-level at the foot of the Apennines, and is a popular watering-place, the baths being especially frequented. The water is strongly saline.
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Salsette

See also Salsette Island and Salcette on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​SALSETTE (=“sixty-six villages”), a large island in British India, N. of Bombay city, forming part of Thana district. Area, 246 sq. m. It is connected with Bombay Island and also with the mainland by bridge and causeway. Salsette is a beautiful, well-wooded tract, its surface being diversified by hills and mountains, some of considerable height, while it is rich in rice fields. In various parts of the island are ruins of Portuguese churches, convents and villas; while the cave temples of Kanheri form a subject of interest. There are 109 Buddhist caves, which date from the end of the 2nd century A.D., but are not so interesting as those of Ajanta, Ellora and Karli. Salsette is crossed by two lines of railway, which have encouraged the building of villa residences by the wealthier merchants of Bombay. The population in 1901 was 146,933. The island was taken from the Portuguese by the Mahrattas in 1739, and from them by the British in 1774; it was formally annexed to the East India Company's dominions in 1782 by the treaty of Salbai.
There is another Salsette in the Portuguese settlement of Goa, a district with a population (1900) of 113,061.
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Salt, Sir Titus

See also Titus Salt on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​SALT, SIR TITUS, Bart.(1803–1876), English manufacturer, was born on the 20th of September 1803, at Morley, Yorkshire. In 1820 he was apprenticed to learn wool-stapling at Bradford, and his father, having followed him there and started in that business, took him into partnership in 1824. His success in introducing the coarse Russian wool (donskoi) into English worsted manufacture, due to special machinery of his own devising, gave his firm a great impetus. In 1836 he solved the difficulties of working alpaca (q.v.) wool, created an enormous industry in the production of the staple goods for which that name was retained, and became one of the richest manufacturers in Bradford. In 1853 he opened, a few miles out of the city on the Aire, the extensive works and model manufacturing town of Saltaire. From 1859–1861 Salt was M. P. for Bradford, of which city he had been mayor in 1848, and in 1869 he was created a baronet. He died on the 20th of September 1876, and was accorded a public funeral. After his death his many benevolent institutions at Saltaire, at first continued by his widow, were transferred to a trust.

# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Salt-cellar

See also Salt cellar on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​SALT-CELLAR, a vessel containing salt, placed upon the table at meals. The word is a combination of “salt” and “saler,” assimilated in the 16th and 17th centuries to “cellar” (Lat. cellarium, a storehouse). “Saler” is from the Fr. (Mod. salière), Lat. salarium, that which belongs to salt, cf. “salary.” Salt cellar is, therefore, a tautological expression. There are two types of salts, the large ornamental salt which during the medieval ages and later was one of the most important pieces of household plate, and the smaller “salts,” actually used and placed near the plates or trenchers of the guests at table; they were hence styled “trencher salts.” The great salts, below which the inferior guests sat, were, in the earliest form which survives, shaped like an hour-glass and have a cover. New College, Oxford, possesses a magnificent specimen, dated 1493. Later salts take a square or cylindrical shape. The Elizabethan salt, kept with the regalia in the Tower of London, has a cover with numerous figures. The London Livery Companies possess many salts of a still later pattern, rather low in height and without a ​cover. The "trencher salts" are either of triangular or circular shape, some are many-sided. The circular silver salt with legs came into use in the 18th century.
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Salt Range

See also Salt Range on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​SALT RANGE, a hill system in the Punjab and North-West Frontier Provinces of India, deriving its name from its extensive deposits of rock-salt. The range commences in Jhelum. district in the lofty hill of Chel (3701 ft.), on the right bank of the river Jhelum, traverses Shahpur district, crosses the Indus in Mianwali district, thence a southern branch forms the boundary between Bannu and Dera Ismail Khan until it finally merges in the Waziristan system of mountains. The salt range contains the great mines of Mayo, Warcha and Kalabagh, which yield an inexhaustible supply of salt, and supply the wants of all Northern India. Coal of an inferior quality is also found.
