1t is very simple matter. We have arranged
with the Publishers CT tho Arnericanized Ency-
clopesdia Britannica to take q large quantity Of
this 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 setof the Americanized Encyclo-
p8dIa Britannica on payment OF $500 and your
signing contract to pay $3.50 month for 10
months. $50 in all This offer ID made only IN
connection with a years subscription 70 this

and electricity, and labor-saVing machinery, q
great deal can be done for eight cents dsy, es-
pecislly when twenty or thirty thousand people
club their money and each puts his eight cents
into a common stock.
You can be thankful that you didn't accept
his offer. IL you'd dOneeso and seen the Ameri-
canizsd edition aftsrward you would have felt
like kicking yourself. Isuppose your Canvass

tannics was simply the most complete work Of
its kind ever published?
So it Is; ne was right enough so far. It's .
monumental work and cost more than million
dollars to get up. But there are spots on the

Encyclopedia Britannica. Did he mention TO
You that you might look for Ulysses s. Grant

OF course he was, OF pretty nearly so. But
the Encyclopedia Britannica doesn't mention
him 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

How One Clever Woman Managed a Large
Circulating Library Party.
A variation of the circulating library
party in which the men and women
represent books and are drawn out each
by one of the opposite sex, and prone
naded with for five minutes to guess
one another's identity before being ex-
changed, is that of a recent hostess of
small company. To each guest five
books are given for her to illustrate,
and in addition she was to personate
sixth suggested by herself. The guests
assembled talked, had music, and were
variuusly entertained until the end of
the evening, when all were provided
with pencil and paper and asked to
write out the number of identifcations
each had been able to make. Prizes
were given to the highest and lowest
list furnished respectively by each sex,
as in all prize parties.
Some Of the illustrations were very
clever. 1t was not desired that they
should be elaborate; merely small de-
signs to be pinned or otherwise fastened
on the dress. "a Tale of Two Cities"
was shown by small cat tail, with
Boston and Chicago affixed; "a Bow of
Orange Ribbon" by the necessary bow;
eve Two by a wee figure 2 on plain
white card; THE Scarlet Letter" by a
brilliant red envelope stamped and adj
dressed Kipling's mine Own People"

He Wouldn't"

He Wouldn't"
He-Would you object to my propos.
ing to you?
She with t;morous composure)-No
the slightest.
He-Would you be perfectly willing
that should state in a few well-chosen
words the length of time have wor-
SHIPPED and loved you and the terrible
despair which has been mine as 1 saw
you universally adored and perceived
how little chance there was of my hopes
being realized while you remained
queen over the hearts Of suitors far
more worthy?
She (as before)-Perfectly willing
He-Would you prefer me to make
the proposal standing or lneeling?
She correctly lowering her eyes)-I
think the latter way would be far bet
ter form
He-Would you prefer the declara-
tion in language fervid, fierce and out
spoken, or intense, passionate, and
contained?
She with considerable promptness)
-Fervid, fierce and outspoken.
He-And would you deem it indis-
Greet if the proposer during the deol ar
alton, should print some kisses on the
hand Of the proposee?
She with artless candor)-Yes, IL
there were anything better and more
satisfactory reasonably contiguous.
He-f he encountered feeble oppo-
sition merely would you consider it I'M
wise on the part of the proposer should
he pass his arm around the proposes
waist?
She gently but irmly)-It would be,
l think, matter for extreme regret if
he failed to comprehend whatever pos
sibilities the situation presented.
He-And in case the proposer should,
after slight resistance, realize these
possibilities, would you consider such
slight resistance sufficient encourage
ment to justify him in fondly folding
the proposee to his heart?
She las before) -Undoub tedly.
He-Taking it for granted then that
the last situation has been conSummat-
ed, can you see any reason why the
proposer should not rightfully regard
success as a wooer?
one promptly - Cannon
He-Or why he should not be joyful
in the thought thai for the nonce, at
least she is his and he hers?
She with some impatience(-No.
He-Now, appealing to you as be-
longing to that sex which intuitively
sees and understands the peculiar pro-
prieties of an emergency of this sort,
are there not occasions more appropri-
ate than others for declaration of
love?
She drifting nervously with her
handkerchief)- There are. The ele-
ments of time, place and liabilities of
interruption must of course. be proper
y regarded
He-Do you believe the present con-
tains these elements?
She Drifting more nervously with her
handkerchief)-I have no doubt of it
He-You also believe, do you not,
that tastes, inclinations, in fact, all dis
positional characteristics, are found to
be conspicuously similar, more espec-
tally In family groups?
She drifting more nervously with
kerchief)-Certainly
He-Eow, for instance, you and your
sister are, I fancy, vivid illustrations of
