Only published by HIS publishers he meant
But il he had spoken the truth about the matter
he would have told you that the first volume of
the latest edition Of the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA was issued fifteen years ago, and that the
greater part of it was compiled at that date.
SO you see they didn't get General Grant in ID
, after all
That depends on the kind of book you want.
Let me ask you question or two. You live
. here in the United States, don't you?
Yes, I thought so. Now tell me, about which
do you want the most detailed information, an
American city or an English town? An Amer
| lean statesman or an English statesman
Just SO. But, you see, the Encyclopedias
Britannica wasn't compiled for the use of men
like you. 1t was put together to be used by
Enghshmen IN England. And you see, they
want the exact opposite of what you do andthe
Encyclopedis Britannica, very properly, gives
1t to them. 1t fills pages with the account of
some insignificant English borough or county
that you may never want to know enythinr-
about whatever, aud gives half dozen lines to
some State rcity here that you want the fullest
particulars of, but about which an Englishman
cares just nothing at all.
Right as trivet, whatever that may BEL

exactly right, all the same. It's the AMERI-
CANNED Encyclopedia Britannica that wa
propose to put in every home in the West The
long-winded articles on petty British subjects
have been cut down to the same length that
would have been given them had they been
French or German subjects, and the articles on
matters OF American interest have been all re-
written and treated just as exclusively as they
would nave been IN the original work had they,
been specially interesting to Englishmen.
Well, rather. One of the best and most com.
plete ever written. And there are four thou
sand new biographies besides. In fact, the
work contains the life Of every distinguished
man or woman, American or foreign, now living,
or who has died since the Encyclopaedia Bri-
tannica was compiled.
On, yes, few The entire work has been re-
vlsed down to the present year for one thing.

Nav Cabinet in snain

AT recent meeting of the cabinet Senior
Silvela, minister of the interior, expressed
his desire to resign, giving as his reason
for this action the fact that all the politi-

Eighteen years ago James Rhienhoff had
words with his wife at their home near
Fergus Falls, Mimi, and in his anger
rushed from the house and failed to return
until last Friday. To his wife, who had
remained single for love of him, he ex
planned that day or two after leaving
home he had lost his memory in conse-
quence of blow on the head received at
the hands OF another man, and had only re-
covered it few weeks before through the

feeble people should take ,as the mineral potash
which is in every other Sarsaparilla that wei know

vegetable and stimulates digestion and creates
new blood, the very thing for old, delicate or

for days at time, and all at once, without
apparently any reason for the change, be-
come so perverse in its methods that it Is
set aside as useless. Some one declares the
burner worn out and suggests a new one.
Now much better plan is to try and coax
into service the old affair, and no better or
more efficacious way will be found than by
following receipt given by an old lady who
declares it TO be unfailing. Into an old can
she cuts in tiny bits some soap, and adding
water, sets it or the stove to boil, dropping
in it at the same time the defective burner.
Let it boil half hour then take it out and
rub with cloth, when it will be found as
ready for use as a new one. OF course the
wick must also be perfectly clean. Many
hOusekeepers wash it as well when a fresh
one is not obtainable. Sand paper is espe-
ciaiiy good as polisher after the burner has
been boiled

ANSWERS.

1t 10 very simple matter. We have arranged
I WIN the publishers OF the Americanized Enjoy
ciopfedla britannica to take large quantity OF
tins work of their hands, thus securing remark
ably low price as well as singularly easy terms.
we propose to give the whole advantage of this
transaction to our subscribers, and offer to de-
liver the entire set of the Amercanized Encyclo-
pedla britannica on payment of $500 and your
signing contract to pay $3.50 month for 10
months. s3O IN all. This offer is made only in
connection with years subscription to this

just SO. But you see, In these days ofeteam
aud electricity, and labor-saving machinery,
peclally when twenty or thirty thousand people
club their money and each puts his eight cents
into common stock.
:. You can be thankful that you didn't accept
his offer. IL you'd done SO and seen the Ameri-
canned edition afterward you. would have felt
like kicking yourself. Isuppose your canyaes-
ing friend told you that the Encyclopedia Bri-
tannlca was simply the most complete work of
Its kind ever published?
So 1T is; he WAS right enough SO far. It's a
monumental work and cost more than a million
dollars to get up. But there are spots on the
sun, you know, and there are defects even In the
Encyclopedia Britannica. Did he mention to
you that you might look for Ulysses S. Grant
| IN 1t and not find word about him?
, Ut course he was, or pretty nearly So But
tne cyclopaed1a Britannica doesn't mention
MN for all that And it doesn't say a word
about Sherman either, nor about Sheridan. nor
Hancock, nor Blaine, nor Cleveland, nor Hsrri-
son, nor Harriet Beecher Stowe, nor Julia Ward
Howe, nor Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, nor Charles
Stewart Parnell, nor Bismarck, nor jeff Davis,
. nor
Oh, yes indeed. It contains some of the most
magnificent biographies that ever were written.
-Macaulay's life of DR.. johnson, for example.
But you see what they called "the plan of
the work" excluded all mention of living
characters. They wanted to see how man
would turn out first before they made room for
. his life in their volumes.

About Aluminium.

Aluminium in appearance is white,
shining metal of shade between silver
and platinum. and lighter than all other
workable metals. 1t is found chiefly as
silicate, in clays, slate, mari, granite,
basalt and large number Of minerals.
Mica contains much aluminium, while
rotten stone is an aluminium silicate
mixed with organic matter. The spe-
cific gravity of aluminium when cast is
two and fifty-six hundrcdths, and when
subjected to pressure ranges up to two
and siXty-seven hundredths. 1t is light
er than glass, and has more than four
times the displacement of silver, and
does not require as much heat to be
melted. The properties of aluminium
are many and important. Although rs
malleable rs iron, it has greater to-
nacity and equal constructibility and
stiffness. It's greatest use, rs soon rs
it's chcnpncss Is demonstrated, will
probably be as an alloy, where, in most
cases, it adds to tho hardness and pre-
rents oxidation upon exposure to the
air.
