The great merit of the Cyclopedia
is its adoption to practical use; CIV
ing under each proper head the in
formation most likely to be needed,
AMI in concise, easily available form.
Careful examination impresses one
with its accuracy, as well as the re-
markable fulness of its information.
For actual use it abundantly ans
wers the needs of all save those
whose pursuits require exhaustive
study of certain subjects. The COM
bination of Unabridged Dictionary
and Cyclopedia is a wonderful con-
venience. Each volume as it comes
to the readers hands invariably re-
news the surprise felt that a book so
well gotten up can be afforded for a
price so low. Whoever wants cy-
clopedia-and who does not?-
would do well to order at least a
specimen volume, which may be re-
turned il not wanted. Reduced
prices are offered to early subscribers
for complete sets, which are to con-
sist of 80 or more volumes, the vol
umes being issued at intervals of
about a month. The work is not
sold either by agents or by book
sellers, but only by the publisher
direct, which in some measure ac-
counts for the wonderfully low
prices. John B. Alden, Publisher,

that was ever built, and you used to
watch her cook bannocks for you

you are only renting your house.

made of sheet iron nearly half an

foot from the ground and is sup
ported by snail iron posts. 1t is
quickly heated, and it is made in
sizes small enough to cook dinner
for two persons or large enough to
cook for party of thirty"
"Yes, but my house is my own
