JOHNSON'S CYCLOPEOiA-NO AFTER
CLAP, HuMBUG ANIMALS.

Few owners of AppletOn's Cyclore-
dia can he found who keep up their
Cyclopedia by taking the "Annuals,"
at from So TO $40 year. at is too ex-
pensive" as one gentleman said, "be-
sides, moments reflection suggests
that no one year furnishes cyclOpedia
matter enough to fill a volume equal
in size To one-sixteenth of the whole
cyclop;edia; lisa humbug! Twenty
four volumes and more to come every
year, what can do with them"
Johnson's Cyclor'edia is kept up TO
date by supplement issued once in
two years at about one-seventeenth of
the cost Of .Appleton's ANIMALS for the
same length of time.
For the incest Christmas present
possible, see Prof. Brown, and sub
scribe for Johnson's Cycloprdia, as
several have already done. Such a
gif. is compliment to both the giver
and the recipient.
MIR. Brown received Is orders for
Johnson's last week i'm Salina, and
wishes us to say that he will furnish
the American (Appleton's) at half
price, if any prefer il after seeing both
works. Our citizens are endorsing
Johnson's in the strongest terms.

many OF the subjects are deficient in
treatment and arrangement and in

The second is altogether too meager 10

ter careful comparison ofthese works
with John-en's Universal Cyciopsedia,

comes up to my idea of what such
work should be- 1t Is comprehensive,
and strictly impartial
And besides il Is much cheaper. 1t is
also question of economy as ii will
save the necessity of purchasing many
other books. WN. BIsHor-
