Did mention before the "Manifold Cy
clypedia," published by Alden of New
York? 1t is to be in 80 vols. of over TOO
pages each at SOC per volume. Volumes
and 9 have Just appeared: It is Just
the reference work needed for school
and town libraes Some who have tried
both say it is more practical than the

World" His latest volume is "Wit and
