Several weeks ago an article appeared
In the Democrat with the above heading
and think million OF good encyclO
pedias distributed among as many fsmi
lies would be a heaven-fav0r providing
they would read them.
The second page Of the Christian
Herald Is devoted TO answering question.
from all parts Of the United States sud
Canada; and many Of the questions ask
ed are so simple that any IL yesr old boy
or girl ought to be able to answer them
To illustrate: One person recently
wanted to know which was the oldest
book, the Bible or the Koran, another
who Josephus was, aud still another II
there was any difference between q rod
square and q square rod. Now ! thlnh
you will agree with me that cyclopedi
l. sadly needed by all such persons, and
many others who are better Informed
would find much to interest them.
About year ago the above mentioned
paper published . new edition OF the
Standard Encyclopedias, self pronounc-
ing and unabridged, containing nearly
1000 pages, aud profusely illustrated
with wood cuts. A recent number 81
that paper states that there are about 5000
Of them left, and now that the room u
wanted for something else they are Of
fered for 70 cents each. Having pro-
cured one nearly year ago, and read Il
extensively, can recommend It - a
great bargain. l will only add In con-
clusion that this IL not an advertise

whatever, bat have written it for the
