the ripest British and European scholarship,
but being work of foreign production it has
been naturally deficient in its adaptation to
the wants of American readers. In this new
form it is most thoroughly Americanized, and
becomes at once the largest and most complete
ENCYCLOPEDIA in the field, at mere fraction of
the cost of any similar works which have pre-
ceeded it, containing about 10 per cent. more
matter than Appleton's Encyclopedia, at less
than one-flfth its cost, and 20 per cent. NOR
than Johnson's Cyclopedia at little more
than one-fourth its cost.
The superlative value and importance of
this great Encyclopedia, however, lies especi-
ally in the fact that it is brought within the
reach of every one who aspires after knowl-
edge and culture. 1t is really Library
Universal Kno wledge. 1t brings liberal ed
ucation easily within the reach of every plow-
boy. Every farmer and every mechanic owes
it to himself and to his children that such a
Cyclopedia shall henseforward form a part
Of the outfit of his home. To the intelligent
man in every walk in life, Cyclopedia is in
dspensible. 1t is issued in various STYLES, in
10 large beautiful octave volumes, varying in
price from $l3 Tor the edition III cloth, to $50
for the edition in library sheep binding. Lib
eral discounts even from these extraordinary
prices are allowed to clubs and the publishers.
Besides they propose during the next two
months to distribute $4,000 cash, in special
rewards to persons who forward clubs of five
ten, or more subsc1 ibers. The American
Book Exchange, 7G4 Broadway, New York,
are the publishers, who will send sample pa
ges and full particulars, free, on request.

How DID THE Doc KNOW THE WAY?-In
the current number of the Popular Science
Monthly there is very interesting article,
which details the experiments made by a Ger
tain Ohio physician to ascertain whether the
faculty which some animals possess of re
turning to their homes by nearly direct
course after being carried great distance by
a circuitous rout is to be attributed to cent,
memory, or any other idtelligible cause
Everybody, of course, is aware of the fact a
catImay be put in bag and taken ever so
far away from its accustomed hearth, and by
ever so roundabout journey, and yet turn
up again in due time at the old place-its
ability to get back being apparently limited
only by insupeTable physical obstacles. The
subject of the Ohio experimenters was dog.
The way they went to work and the result
is thus described:
A dog was made insensible with ether at
Cincinnati, put into a wicker basket. started
on train of the Cincinnati Southern Rail
road, first southwest to Danvilie junction,
thence east to Crab Orchard, and finally
. northward to a hunting rendezvous near
B6rea, in Madison county This circutOus
route was taken because on a former occa-
sion when the dog had returned from a point
100 miles distance from its home, it was sas-
pected that he might have found his way
back by simply reversing ms course on the
railway by which he had cOme.-At Berea
the dog was shut up securely over night and
well fed. The next morning he was taken
out to a clearing on the top of a grassy knob
/ at some distance from the railway, and let
loose. Without any preliminary survey he
skunk of into a ravine, scrambled up the op-
pOsite bank, and struck first on tTot and
then swift gallop, nOttOward Crab Orchard,
i. e., southeast, but due north, in a bee lne
for Cincinnati He run not like an animal
that had lost its way but "like a horse on
tramway," straight a head with bis nose well
/ up, as if he were following an air line toward
a visible goal. He made short detour to
the left to avoid a lateral raviue, but further
/ up be resumed his original course, leaped a
rail fence and went headlOng into q coppice
/ of cedar brushes, where they finally lost sigh
/ of him. The report Of the eXperimenterS
{ was forwarded to the owner by rail and on
I the afternoon of the next day after receiving
( this report the owner met the dog on the
street in Cincinnati, wet, full of burTs and
+ remOTse, and apparently ashamed of his
hardness"

APRoPos Of George Washingtons birth
day, the Cambridge (Mass.) Tribune relates
the following Mrs. Washington, the mother
of George, was going to make soap. George
and his father arranged large caSk with
some straw in the bottom of it, and on top
of the straw they put some ashes and leeched
them. Mrs. Washington got her soap grease
all ready and in a short time the house was
filled with that beautiful odor that betokens
the process of soap boilingis going on. With
all her skill she could not make the soap
come. On investigation it was disc overe
that some of the ashes used were from the
wood of the cherry tree George cut down
and ne lye couid be produced from them -
This shows the power Of truthfuluess.

VALUE OF THE FARM "A and B are two
men with capital of $1,000 each. a goes to
the village, rents n house, and lends his mo-
ney at 10 per cent. 3 buys farm, stocks it,
and moves upon it with his family. A man
ages by working at one thing and another to
earn enough to pay his rent and clothe his
family. His insurance, grocery bill and tax
es come out of the interest on his money. 3
uses all the milk, butter, eggs, vegetables,
fruit, etc, that his family require, all being
raised on the farm. The surplus sales pay
his g,eoery bill and clothe the family. lie
sells g 900 worth of grain and stock. After
paying his hired help, taxes, insurance, re
pairs and other bills, he has S4O0 left as the
result of his years labor. Which of the two
men made the most money? We believe the
farmer has and yet, with the same showing
many of them are dissatisfied, and envy a
who lives in town. and who has hard worl
to keep up his style of livingon the proceed
of his labor and the $500 interest that he an
nually receives. We can point to plenty o
farms whose value does not exceed 81, 500
from which there is annually sold over 81, ,OO
worth Of produce, not counting that consum
ed by the family. The trouble is they do no
know how much Of it is profit.
