Cyclopsdias of Biography are
usually made up Of an alphabetical

OF the namsa Of people of whom you
have never heard, and to know whom
would add greatly neither to your
pleasure nor your mental wealth.
"Ths Worlds Cyclopsdia Of Biog-
raphy," now publishing, is upon .
different plan. n,contaius only the
stories of the lives Of the famoua men
and women who have made the
worlds history who are really worth
knowing, and Who are written about
by authors often equally eminent in
ths field Of literature, with the sub-
jscts whom they describe. Each vol
ums is complete in itself. SO that if
you do not want, or cannot afford all,
you can take what best plsaass, or il
Of most worth to you. The Eve vol.
umss thus far issued narrate the
achievements of the most famous and
worthy of the worlds heroes. Vol

the present imnorting prics of the

thrown in. it costs only 10 cents
even beyond this, as means of most
widely effectually advertising the
