A great deal of burglary, arson,
and minor crimes are reported through
the papers this winter. Until some
thing more than comfortable winter
quarters and restful summer resorts
are made of jails and penitentiaries,
and simple Imprisonment therein is
meted out to the villains as the penal
ty of their crimes, when convicted,
the more honorable taxables may
expect to bear the burden of the
expense attending their board and
keeping when the weather is rather
chilly for honest toll.

While China and Japan are still at
the "outs,' and peace don't exactly
reign in Brooklyn. nor on some few
islands in the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans, America, outside Of York,
Pa, is still permitted to pursue the
even tenor of her way, just as calmly
and pleasantly as cold winter and a
scarcity of fuel, &C., will allow. AS

have been having such spirited
molasses war in that town this winter
that yon can buy all the sweet liquid
you want at the rate of three. fourths
of cent a quart. This may be said
to be competition overdone for want
of monopoly.

Down TO Date,

At an infnitesimal cost is the thing to be
desired Such work is the Americanized
edition offered by THE WHEELING REGISTER.
A prominent educator, whose testimonial
is on file in our office, states the case much
better than we can. He says:
Il think an encyclopedia is an absolutely
necessary thing, but the Britannica is not only
long out of date, but it is an English work Of
such positively English character that it is
far from suitable for American readers Its
article On bridges, for instance ignores the
greatest bridge Of its kind in the world our
own Brooklyn Bridge. | have thisother fault
to find with it, that only architects can under
stand it's article on architecture, or doctors its
articleon anatomy and so on. Now those men
have more authoritative works on the subjects
they are professionally interested in, and
therefore have other uses for the encyclopedia
than in their special line. The Americanized
edition remedies these faults in bringing the
subject matter down to date, in including arti-
cles on American TOPICS in adding numerous
biographies of men and women still living or
who have died only since the Britannica was
issued, and finally, in treating all its subjects
in such a way that readers without special
knowledge Of professional or scientific terms
are not puzzled and mystitied at every turn.
For these and other reasons | think the Amer
icanized Encyclopedia Britannica ought to be
welcomed with open arms"

day, we fail to see why you hesitate Call at
