A child learns more in FIVE minutes ofinde-

acquiring knowledge second hand. In this
connection the illustrations of The Century are
great help. Often picture will make plain
what a column of words could not explain.
Wherever this is the case The Century gives
the picture. There are in the work nearly
5000 illustrations drawn and engraved By the
artists who have made The Century Magazine
famous. In the one department of architecture
alone there are more illustrations than in any
architectural book ever published. Animals,
plants, cathedrals, musical instruments, nachin-
cry, antique vases, shells, guns-all are profisely
illustrated. If the illustrations were gathered
together they would FL 500 royal-quar,o pages.

PHYSICIANS.

The Physicians Library reflects in some
measure the completely of his vocation. He
tries 10 add TO his text books a fairly full and
representative collection of such standard
works of literature as are likely to have been
read by most of his patients, and he tries to
keep in touch, too, with the new books of the
day-even with the sort OF hysterical fiction
which he knows his patients ought no; TO read.
Their mental diet, wholesome or unwhole-
some, is as much part Of the symptoms upon
which he must base his conclusions as are
their bodily meat and drink. With so vast a
range Of subjects within his purview, the
medical practitioner has the most urgent need
for condensed and comprehensive work Of
general reference. Hundreds of letters from
physicians all over this country and Europe
testify to the practical utility, TO THEM,
of The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia and
Atlas.

BUSINESS MEN

BUSINESS MEN
are the easiest class to sell The Century TO-
Perhaps this is partly owing to the fact that
they know in general way of its merits be-
fore we start to sell them, but mainly, we
think, because their minds are open to receive
common sense help in just the shape that The
Century gives it to them and then they're be-
ginning to notice the rapidly increasing num-
Der of neighbos whose Offices contain these
"ten best books for business men,"
We are getting letters from people in differ
en-, lines OF business every day telling US more
ways in which The Century is of use to them
than we could have dreamed Of We received
letter yesterday from Patent Office man,
who told US that The Century was the greatest
work for his business that he could possibly
have if he had had Il made TO order. He has
to write about all kinds OF things-pieces of
mechanism with Unlicensed names in the
draughting of Patent applications; these cover
a vast range of different arts and trades. He
has used The Century constantly for nearly
year in Just such hard test work, and writes
us to say that in no single instance has he been
disappointed in finding J UST what he wanted
JUST where it ought TO be.
